 underlying unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) was $3.0 million and $2.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Share Repurchase ProgramSince February 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $1,500.0 million of the Company’s common stock, including the most recent approval in September 2024 of $500.0 million through December 31, 2027. This timeframe can be extended or shortened by the Board of Directors. Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing prices or in negotiated transactions off the market. The Company records share repurchases at cost, which includes broker commissions and related excise taxes. All shares are immediately retired upon repurchase in accordance with the board-approved policy. When treasury shares are retired, the Company’s policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired first, to additional paid-in capital, and then to retained earnings/accumulated deficit. The portion to be allocated to additional paid-in capital is calculated by applying a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares to be retired by the number of shares outstanding, to the balance of additional paid-in capital as of the date of retirement.During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 2.6 million and 4.9 million shares of its common stock, respectively, for a total purchase price of $65.0 million and $135.0 million, respectively.
