Material Changes
On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) Agreement with Barclays Bank PLC. This transaction utilizes the remaining $1.0 billion authorization under the Company's existing share repurchase program. On May 3, 2021, the Company paid the Bank $1.0 billion and received an initial delivery of approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Final settlement of the ASR Agreement is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2021, though the Bank may accelerate settlement. The final number of shares to be repurchased is subject to adjustment based on the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the agreement, less a discount. The filing notes that under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver additional shares or make a cash payment to the Bank at final settlement.
Investor Verification Checklist
