STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
NOTE 11 – STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
Our Board of Directors has authorized a program which permits us to repurchase shares of our common stock. The intent of this program is to offset the dilution from our equity incentive plans, employee stock purchase plan, the issuance of shares in the Orbotech Acquisition, as well as to return excess cash to our stockholders. Subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors, the repurchases were made in the open market in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder, such as Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1. This stock repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended at any time. On September 17, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase an additional $1.00 billion of our common stock. As of September 30, 2019, an aggregate of approximately $1.63 billion was available for repurchase under our stock repurchase program.
Share repurchases for the indicated periods (based on the trade date of the applicable repurchase) were as follows:
