ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On October 28, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing management to repurchase up to $500 million of NewMarket's outstanding common stock until December 31, 2024, as market conditions warrant and covenants under our existing debt agreements permit. We may conduct the share repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be terminated or suspended at any time. At March 31, 2023 , approximately $246 million remained available under the 2021 authorization.
The following table outlines the purchases during the first quarter of 2023 under the authorization.
