Our common stock is trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BLKB.” As of February 10, 2021, there were approximately 96 stockholders of record of our common stock. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, this number is not representative of the total number of beneficial owners of our stock. On February 10, 2021, the closing price of our common stock was $78.34.

(1) Includes 2,782 shares (2,733 in November and 49 in December) withheld by us to satisfy the minimum tax obligations of employees due upon vesting of restricted stock awards and units. The level of this acquisition activity varies from period to period based upon the timing of award grants and vesting.
(2) In November 2020, our Board of Directors reauthorized and expanded our stock repurchase program to authorize us to purchase up to $ 250.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date.
Dividends
Our Board of Directors had previously adopted a dividend policy which reflected an intention to distribute to our stockholders a portion of the cash generated by our business that exceeds our operating needs and capital expenditures as regular quarterly dividends.
In accordance with our previous dividend policy, we paid quarterly dividends at an annual rate of $ 0.48 per share in 2019, resulting in aggregate dividend payments to stockholders of $23.6 million in 2019.
As a part of a series of measures to better enable us to weather the extraordinary business challenges occasioned by COVID-19 and further effect our long-term strategy to deliver the greatest value to our stockholders, we announced on April 6, 2020 that our Board of Directors had rescinded its previously announced policy to pay an annual dividend at a rate of $ 0.48 per share of common stock and discontinued the declaration and payment of all cash dividends beginning with the second quarter of 2020 and thereafter until such time, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion. As a result, we paid a first quarter dividend of $0.12 per share in 2020 resulting in aggregate dividend payments to stockholders of $6.0 million, but no further dividends were declared or paid in 2020. We currently do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.
