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.
On July 29, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through July 31, 2018 (the “Program”). On October 30, 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved an additional $250.0 million authorization to repurchase shares under the Program. The Program was also extended through October 31, 2020. On July 31, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved an additional $300.0 million authorization to repurchase shares, increasing the total authorized amount under the Program to $700.0 million, excluding commissions. During March 2020, we temporarily suspended our share repurchase program. On July 28, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved an additional $500.0 million authorization to repurchase shares, increasing the total authorized amount under the Program to $1.2 billion, excluding commissions, and extending the currently suspended Program 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 0.4 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $34.4 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $89.99 per share. Since inception, through June 30, 2020, we have repurchased 9.6 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $596.2 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $62.13 per share.
