ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the three months ended October 31, 2021, we issued a total of 12,383 shares of our unregistered common stock pursuant to post-closing obligations in connection with our previous acquisition of Bridgecrew, Inc. (the “Bridgecrew Transaction”).
The Bridgecrew Transaction did not involve any underwriters, any underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. The issuances of the securities pursuant to the Bridgecrew Transaction were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
On February 26, 2019, we announced that our board of directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which is funded from available working capital. On December 8, 2020, we announced that our board of directors authorized a $700.0 million increase to our share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $1.7 billion. On August 23, 2021, we announced that our board of directors authorized another $676.1 million increase to this share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $2.4 billion. The expiration date of this repurchase authorization was extended to December 31, 2022, and our repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under our program are to be made at management’s discretion on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, block purchase techniques, 10b5-1 trading plans, or a combination of the foregoing. During the three months ended October 31, 2021, we did not repurchase any shares pursuant to our share repurchase program. As of October 31, 2021, $1.0 billion remained available for future share repurchases under the program.
Between August 1, 2021 and August 31, 2021, September 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021 and October 1, 2021 and October 31, 2021, shares of restricted common stock were delivered by certain employees upon vesting of equity awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements. The average value of shares delivered to satisfy tax withholding requirements during these periods were $399.64 per share, $467.43 per share and $511.92 per share, respectively. The number of shares delivered to satisfy tax withholding requirements during these periods was not significant.
