Market Information
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HALO.” As of February 11, 2025, we had approximately 136,528 stockholders of record and beneficial owners of our common stock.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain available cash for funding operations, stock repurchases and other capital initiatives; therefore, we do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contract restrictions, business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer
In December 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a capital return program to repurchase up to $750.0 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period which we completed in June 2024. A total of 19.1 million shares were repurchased over the three-year period at an average price per share of $39.31. All shares repurchased under our capital return programs have been retired and have resumed their status of authorized and unissued shares.
In February 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new capital return program to repurchase up to $750.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In December 2024, we entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with
Bank of America to repurchase $250.0 million of our common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, at the inception of the ASR,
we paid $250.0 million to Bank of America and took initial delivery of 4.2 million shares, representing approximately 80 percent of the total shares that will be repurchased under the ASR agreement measured based on the closing price of our common stock on the transaction trade date. The final share count will be determined at the transaction settlement date. All shares repurchased under our capital return programs have been retired and have resumed their status of authorized and unissued shares.
The table below sets forth information regarding repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2024:
