Under the Plans, participants may surrender shares as payment of applicable tax withholding on the vesting of restricted stock. Participants in the Plans may also exercise stock options by surrendering shares of common stock that the participants already own as payment of the exercise price. Shares so surrendered by participants in the Plans are repurchased pursuant to the terms of the Plans and applicable award agreement and not pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase programs. (2) On May 20, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a $20.0 billion share repurchase authorization, of which $5.8 billion remained available as of July 31, 2022. On August 18, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization that replaced the May 2021 authorization and does not have a prescribed expiration date. SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we issued 2,883 deferred stock units under The Home Depot, Inc. Nonemployee Directors’ Deferred Stock Compensation Plan pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of the SEC’s Regulation D thereunder. The deferred stock units were credited during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to the accounts of those non-employee directors who elected to receive all or a portion of board retainers in the form of deferred stock units instead of cash. The deferred stock units convert to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis following a termination of service as described in this plan. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we credited 1,093 deferred stock units to participant accounts under the Restoration Plan pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for involuntary, non-contributory plans. The deferred stock units convert to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis following a termination of service as described in this plan. 21 Table of Contents Item 6. Exhibits.
