repurchases are made in open market or privately negotiated transactions and the timing and exact amount of common stock repurchases will depend on a number of factors including , among others , market and general economic conditions , economic capital and regulatory capital considerations , alternative uses of capital , the potential impact on our credit ratings , and contractual and regulatory limitations , including the results of the supervisory assessment of capital adequacy and capital planning processes undertaken by the federal reserve as part of the ccar process .
