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.
Since July 29, 2016, our Board of Directors has approved our share repurchase program pursuant to which we are currently authorized to repurchase up to $1,200.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2023 (the “Program”).
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, 2021, we repurchased 0.3 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $30.0 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $93.72 per share. Since inception, through June 30, 2021, we have repurchased 10.0 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $636.2 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $63.35 per share.
