, capital expenditures, payment of dividends, repurchases of common stock, capital contributions for joint ventures and contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

Since 2017, we have made considerable investments in property, plant and equipment to support the growth of our Government Operations and Commercial Operations segments. Significant projects included the expansion of Government Operations facilities to support increased demand from the U.S. Government and the commercialization of our medical radioisotope technology in our Commercial Operations segment. We expect these heightened spending levels to decline as these capital expansion projects are largely complete.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid $88.3 million in dividends to holders of our common stock. The declaration and payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our business, legal and regulatory requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

In April 2021, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase an indeterminate number of shares of our common stock up to an aggregate market value of $500 million. As of December 31, 2024, the total remaining share repurchase authorization was $377.6 million. See Item 5 of this Report for additional share repurchase information.

As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report, on January 3, 2025, we completed the acquisition of A.O.T., for approximately $105.5 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments. In addition, on December 27, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire Kinectrics for approximately CAD 782.7 million, including the assumption of Kinectrics' net pension and debt liabilities, and estimated transaction expenses. The Kinectrics acquisition is targeted to close in the middle of 2025 at which time we expect to make a cash investment of approximately $525.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent.

We expect cash requirements totaling approximately $7.8 million and $1.2 million for contributions to our pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively, in 2025.
