Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The following table presents information with respect to purchases of common stock we made during the three months ended December 31, 2023. In December 2022, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million in aggregate amount of our common stock under certain circumstances. We used approximately $75.0 million of the net proceeds from the Notes to repurchase shares of our common stock from purchasers of the Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted by us on June 24, 2015, as amended on April 26, 2016 and as further amended on April 27, 2017, April 24, 2019, April 28, 2021 and April 28, 2022 (the “2015 Plan”), provides for the withholding of shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations. It does not specify a maximum number of shares that can be withheld for this purpose. The shares of common stock withheld to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item 5.
