14. Shareholders' Equity

Share Repurchase Program (CEG Parent)

During 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock. In April 2024, our Board of Directors approved a $1 billion increase to the program, authorizing up to $3 billion in total repurchases. As of the date of filing, there was approximately $991 million of remaining authority to repurchase shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. No other repurchase plans or programs have been authorized. See Note 20 — Shareholders' Equity of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on our share repurchase program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased from the open market 1.2 million shares of our common stock for a total cost, inclusive of taxes and transaction costs, of $150 million. There were no open market repurchases for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased from the open market 3.0 million and 6.2 million shares, respectively, of our common stock for a total cost, inclusive of taxes and transaction costs, of $252 million and $503 million, respectively.

In 2024, we entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements with financial institutions to initiate share repurchases of our common stock. Under the ASR agreements, we paid a specified amount to the financial institution and received an initial delivery of shares of common stock, which resulted in an immediate reduction in the number of our shares outstanding. Based on the terms of the ASR agreements below, we received an initial share delivery based on 80% of the ASR agreements' cost. Upon settlement of the ASR agreements, the financial institution delivers additional incremental shares. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average price paid per share, is determined at the end of the applicable purchase period of each ASR agreement based on the average of the daily-volume weighted average share price, less a discount.

The following table summarizes each ASR agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2024:
