1. This table does not include ordinary shares that we withheld in order to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting and release of restricted stock units.
2. Average price paid per ordinary share includes brokerage commissions.
3. The ordinary shares reported in the table above were purchased pursuant to our publicly announced share repurchase program.
4. The dollar amount shown represents, as of the end of each period, the approximate dollar value of ordinary shares that may yet be purchased under our publicly announced share repurchase program, exclusive of any brokerage commissions. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the price of our ordinary shares, alternative investment opportunities, restrictions under our credit agreement, corporate and regulatory requirements and market conditions, and may be modified, suspended or otherwise discontinued at any time without prior notice.
In November 2016, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program and as of June 30, 2022 had authorized the repurchase of ordinary shares having an aggregate purchase price of up to $1.5 billion, exclusive of any brokerage commissions. Under this program, which has no expiration date, we may repurchase ordinary shares from time to time on the open market. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we spent a total of $0.1 million to purchase 338 of our ordinary shares under the share repurchase program at a total purchase price, including commissions, of $160.70 per share. All ordinary shares repurchased were canceled. As of June 30, 2022, the remaining amount authorized under the share repurchase program was $431.2 million.
Under our share repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares from time to time through open market repurchases. Such repurchases may be pursuant to Rule 10b-18 or Rule 10b5-1 agreements as determined by our management and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
