ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
Our Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “GDOT.”
Holders of Record
As of January 31, 2023, we had 50 holders of record of our Class A common stock. The actual number of stockholders is greater than this number of record holders, and includes stockholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers and other nominees. This number of holders of record also does not include stockholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our Class A common stock for the foreseeable future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and future growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends on our Class A common stock, if permissible, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
In February 2022, our Board of Directors provided authorization to increase our stock repurchase limit to $100 million for any future repurchases. The following is a summary of issuer purchases of equity securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts). See Note 12—Stockholders' Equity of our notes to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding our stock repurchase program.
Period (a) Total Number of Shares Purchased (b) Average Price Paid Per Share (c) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (d) Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
October 1, 2022 - October 31, 2022 522 $ 19.15 522 $ 15,949
November 1, 2022 - November 30, 2022 533 18.77 533 5,950
December 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022 74 19.91 74 4,479
Total 1,129 $ 19.02 1,129 $ 4,479
After giving effect to our share repurchases during the three months ended December 31 2022, the remaining amount available under the current authorization totaled $4.5 million with no expiration date.
For the majority of restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock units) granted, the number of shares issued on the date the restricted stock units vest is net of shares withheld to meet applicable tax withholding requirements. Although these withheld shares are not issued or considered common stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program, they are treated as common stock repurchases in our financial statements as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting.

Stock Performance Graph
This performance graph shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of Green Dot Corporation under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
The graph and table below compare the cumulative total stockholder return of Green Dot Corporation Class A common stock, the Russell 2000 Index, the S&P Small Cap 600 Index, the S&P Composite 1500 Financials Index, and the S&P 500 Financials Index for the period beginning on the close of trading on the NYSE on December 31, 2017 and ending on the close of trading on the NYSE on December 31, 2022. In 2023, we elected to replace the S&P 500 Financials Index with the S&P Composite 1500 Financials Index as we are currently a member of the S&P Composite 1500 Financials Index and not a member of the S&P 500 Financials Index and because we believe the S&P Composite 1500 Financials Index contains companies that represent our primary competitors. The graph assumes a $100 investment in our Class A common stock and each of the indices, and the reinvestment of dividends.
The comparisons in the graph and table below are based on historical data and are not intended to forecast the possible future performance of our Class A common stock.
