(1) Includes shares reacquired through the withholding of shares to pay employee tax obligations upon the exercise of options or vesting of restricted shares previously granted under our long-term incentive plans.
In July 2016, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through July 2018 (the “Program”). Pursuant to additional authorizations and extensions of the Program approved by our Board of Directors, we are authorized to repurchase up to $1,200.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2023.
Repurchases under the Program may be made through open market, block and privately negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans, at such times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The Program does not obligate AWI to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.4 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $30.0 million, excluding commissions and taxes, or an average price of $67.66 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.8 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $57.0 million, excluding commissions and taxes, or an average price of $70.31 per share. Since inception and through June 30, 2023, we have repurchased 13.2 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $908.2 million, excluding commissions and taxes, or an average price of $68.76 per share.
On July 18, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an additional $500.0 million authorization for us to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock under the Program and extended the Program to December 31, 2026, bringing the cumulative total repurchase authorization since the inception of the Program to $1,700.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock.
