ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In January 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year $1.0 billion share repurchase program (the "share repurchase program") pursuant to which we may repurchase our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
On January 31, 2024, we announced the closing of a secondary public offering (the "January Offering") of an aggregate of 8.8 million shares (which includes approximately 1.1 million additional shares that underwriters had the option to purchase) of our common stock that were sold by certain entities managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc (the "Selling Stockholders"). All the shares in the January Offering were sold by the Selling Stockholders. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders in the January Offering. Also pursuant to the related underwriting agreement, we repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock from the underwriters as part of the January Offering, at a repurchase price of $100.50 per share, resulting in a purchase price of approximately $138.2 million (the "January Concurrent Share Repurchase"). The January Concurrent Share Repurchase was made under our existing $1.0 billion share repurchase program, and is included within the activity for the month of January shown in the table below.
The following table presents information with respect to purchases of common stock by the Company under the share repurchase program during the quarter ended February 29, 2024:
