In November 2023, the Corporation adopted two written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The first trading plan includes share repurchases of $50 million, to be executed equally throughout the 2024 calendar year. The second trading plan includes opportunistic share repurchases up to $100 million during 2024 to be executed through a 10b5-1 program. The Corporation implemented these written trading plans in connection with its previously authorized $550 million share repurchase program on September 16, 2021, of which $100 million re mains available for repurchase (the “2021 Share Repurchase Authorization”). The terms of these trading plans can be found in the Corporation’s Form 8-K filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2023.
On May 9, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to repurchase up to an additional $300 million of its common stock (the “2024 Share Repurchase Authorization”). As of June 30, 2024, the Corporation has not executed against the 2024 Share Repurchase Authorization. The total available authorization under the 2021 Share Repurchase Authorization and the 2024 Share Repurchase Authorization is $400 million.

The repurchase of the Corporation’s common stock under the 2021 Share Repurchase Authorization and the 2024 Share Repurchase Authorization (together, the “Share Repurchase Programs”) may be made through a variety of methods, which could include open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase transactions, negotiated block transactions, 10b5-1 plans, other transactions that may be structured through investment banking institutions or privately negotiated, or a combination of the foregoing. The Share Repurchase Programs do not have an expiration date and may be amended, discontinued, or terminated by the Corporation’s Board of Directors at any time without prior notice. The timing, price, and volume of share repurchases will depend on market conditions, relevant securities laws, and corporate, tax, regulatory and other relevant considerations.
