(1) On February 7, 2003, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a program to repurchase up to 25 million shares of outstanding Class A common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. On May 3, 2012, our Board of Directors approved an additional 35 million shares, on January 30, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an additional 25 million shares and on February 4, 2016, our Board of Directors approved an additional 50 million shares, in each case, authorized for repurchase under our share repurchase program. The program has no fixed or scheduled termination date.
(2) We purchased 592,355 shares during the three months ended January 1, 2022 that were not made pursuant to our previously announced stock repurchase program but were purchased to fund certain Company obligations under our equity compensation plans. These transactions included 199,698 shares purchased in open market transactions and 392,657 shares withheld to cover required tax withholdings related to the vesting of restricted stock. Shares withheld to cover required tax withholdings related to the vesting of restricted stock do not reduce our total share repurchase authority.
