In the first quarter of 2023, the Company updated its Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”) to provide employees with an award of stock options and initial grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and made an initial grant of performance share units ("PSUs") to members of the Company's Executive Leadership Team ("ELT"). In connection with this update, the awards, which were granted in the second quarter in previous years, were granted in the first quarter of 2023 and are expected to be granted in the first quarter in subsequent years. The stock option terms remain unchanged and are summarized in more detail in the Stock Based Compensation footnote within the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value for each of these awards, less estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period.

The Company updated its LTIP in the first quarter of 2023 to add RSUs to its annual employee compensation program. As a result of this update, the Company granted employees 119,570 RSUs with a total fair value of $10.3 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $86.18 per RSU during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The annual RSU grants vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company from the grant date through the applicable vesting date, and are settled with shares of the Company’s Common Stock within 60 days following the applicable vesting date.
Additionally, in connection with the Hero Acquisition (see Note 10), 854,882 shares of restricted stock were issued in October 2022 with a total fair value of $61.5. The restricted stock will be recognized as compensation expense as the stock is subject to vesting requirements for individuals who received the restricted stock and will continue to be employed by the Company. The vesting requirements are satisfied at various dates over a three-year period from the date of the acquisition.
Performance Stock Units
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company granted PSUs to members of the ELT including the CEO, with an aggregate award fair value equal to $2.2. 19,650 PSUs were issued at a weighted average grant date fair value equal to $110.95 per PSU using a Monte
11
Carlo model. The performance target is based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a Company selected peer group. The PSUs vest on the later of (i) the third anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) the date that the Compensation & Human Capital Committee certifies the achievement of the applicable performance goals, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company from the grant date through the vesting date. The number of shares that may be issued ranges from 0% to 200% based on relative TSR during the three-year performance period. Vested PSUs will be settled into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, if at all, within 60 days following the vesting date.
On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program, under which the Company mayhad initial availability to repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration and replaced the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. All remaining dollars authorized for repurchase under the 2017 Share Repurchase Plan have been cancelled. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program did not modify the Company’s evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with issuances of Common Stock under its incentive plans.
In December 2021, the Company executed open market purchases of 1.8 million shares for $170.3, inclusive of fees, of which $100.0 was purchased under the evergreen share repurchase program and $70.3 was purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program. In December 2021, the Company also entered into an accelerated share repurchase contract ("ASR") with a commercial bank to purchase Common Stock. The Company paid $200.0 to the bank, inclusive of fees, and received an initial delivery of shares equal to $180.0, or 1.8 million shares. The Company used cash on hand and short-term borrowings to fund the initial purchase price. Upon the completion of the ASR, which ended in February 2022, the bank delivered an additional 0.2 million shares to the Company. The final shares delivered to the Company were determined by the average price per share paid by the bank during the purchase period. All 2.0 million shares were purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.
As a result of the Company’s recent stock repurchases, there remains $729.7 of share repurchase availability under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program as of September 30, 2022.2023.
There have been no stock repurchases in 2023.

The Company recognizes transfers between input levels as of the actual date of the event. There were no transfers between input levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.2023.
Refer to Note 2 in the Form 10-K for a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The business acquisition liabilities represent the estimated fair value of additional future contingent consideration payable for acquisitions of businesses that included contingent consideration clauses. The fair value of business acquisition liabilities is evaluated on an ongoing basis and is based on management estimates and entity-specific assumptions which are considered Level 3 inputs. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a business acquisition liability of $20.0 in connection with the Zicam Acquisition and a $14.0 business acquisition liability in connection with the TheraBreath Acquisition (both of which are defined in Note 10). Any amount that may be due for the Zicam business acquisition liability is payable five years from the closing date. Any amount that may be due for the TheraBreath business acquisition liability is payable in installments between two and four years from the closing.
The interest rate lock agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2021 were used to hedge the risk of changes in the interest payments associated with the 5.0% Senior Notes due June 15, 2052. These agreements were settled in the second quarter of 2022 for a loss of $4.2, which will be amortized into interest expense over ten years. The Company has entered into additional interest rate lock agreements in the third quarter of 2022 which are used to hedge the risk of changes in the interest payments associated with the anticipated issuance of debt in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The carrying amounts of Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, approximated estimated fair values as of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the price of the Company's Common Stock and commodity prices expose the Company to market risk. The Company manages these risks by the use of derivative instruments, such as cash flow and fair value hedges, diesel and commodity hedge contracts, equity derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Refer to Note 3 in the Form 10-K for a discussion of each of the Company’s derivative instruments in effect as of December 31, 2021.2022.
The notional amount of a derivative instrument is the nominal or face amount used to calculate payments made on that instrument. Notional amounts are presented in the following table:

The vesting requirements are satisfied at various dates over a three-year period from the date of the acquisition.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company determined that a review of our ability to recover the carrying values of the global FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS intangible assets was necessary based on the discontinuance of certain products at a major retailer.

The FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS assets consist of the definite-lived trade name, customer relationships and technology assets recorded at acquisition. The Company evaluated our ability to recover the intangible assets by comparing the carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows and determined that the cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets. After determining the estimated fair value of the assets, which included a reduction in cash flows due to the loss of distribution mentioned above along with an expected continued decline in discretionary consumption and higher interest rates, a non-cash impairment charge of $411.0 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022. The impairment charge was applied as a full impairment of the customer relationship and technology assets and a partial impairment of the trade name. The remaining net book value of the trade name as of December 31, 2022 is $46.3 and will be amortized over a remaining useful life of three years. The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the income approach with Level 3 inputs. The Level 3 inputs include the discount rate of 8.5% applied to management’s estimates of future cash flows based on projections of revenue, gross margin, marketing expense and tax rates considering the loss of product distribution and the reduction in customer demand that FINISHING TOUCH FLAWLESS had been experiencing through December 31, 2022. The Company is implementing strategies to address the decline in profitability. However, if unsuccessful, a further decline could trigger a future impairment charge.

The Company’s indefinite lived intangible impairment review is completed in the fourth quarter of each year.
Fair value for indefinite livedindefinite-lived intangible assets was estimated based on a “relief from royalty” or “excess earnings” discounted cash flow method, which contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change, and therefore could impact fair values in the future. The key assumptions used in determining fair value are sales growth, profitability margins, tax rates, discount rates and
14
royalty rates. The Company determined that the fair value of all indefinite lived intangible assets for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 20212022 exceeded their respective carrying values based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitability.
Recently, the Company’s global FLAWLESS business has experienced declining customer demand for many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products from inflation. In addition, the FLAWLESS business has also started to experience margin contraction as the Company has been unable to implement price increases in a highly competitive category to offset higher labor, material and transportation costs. These factors have resulted in a reduction in expected future cash flows that, if these factors persist or continue to worsen, may result in cash flows that are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets of the business. The projected cash flows exceed the carrying value of the long lived assets by slightly more than 10%. The key assumptions used to determine the projected cash flows include revenue, gross margin and marketing expense assumptions based on recent trends, including the reduction in customer demand for discretionary products and declining gross margins that FLAWLESS has been experiencing. The carrying value of the long-lived assets for the FLAWLESS business is approximately $465.0 at September 30, 2022. These assets are being amortized over their remaining weighted average life of 16 years. The long-lived assets of the FLAWLESS business are susceptible to impairment risk based on the factors described above. While management can and has implemented strategies to address the risk, including lowering the Company’s production costs, investing in new product ideas, and developing new creative advertising, significant adverse changes in demand, operating plans or economic factors in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows that could trigger a future impairment charge.
In recent years the Company’s global TROJAN® business, specifically the condom category, has not grown and competition has increased. Social distancing requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic had furtherIn addition, profitability has been negatively impacted the business.by inflation, resulting in higher input costs and discount rates. As a result, the TROJAN business hadhas experienced stagnantdeclining sales and profits resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows which have eroded a portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the tradename.trade name. This indefinite-lived intangible asset may be susceptible to impairment risk and a continued decline in fair value could trigger a future impairment charge of the TROJAN tradename.trade name. The carrying value of the TROJAN tradenametrade name is $176.4 and fair value exceeded carrying value by 7046% as of October 1, 2021.2022 (the Company's last annual impairment test date). The key assumptions used in the projections from the Company’s October 1, 20212022 impairment analysis include discount rates of 7.08.0% in the U.S. and 8.59.5% internationally, revenue assumptions based on recent trends adjusted for management’s estimates of the success of its growth strategies and the impact of improvement in the supply chain, and an average royalty rate of approximately 10%. While management has implemented strategies to address the risk, including lowering production costs, investing in new product ideas, and developing new creative advertising, significant changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair value. More recently,Due to the results of the Company's annual impairment test of the TROJAN trade name, the company monitors the performance of this business on at least a quarterly basis. Based on that review, the Company's expectations regarding the profitability of the global TROJAN® business has experienced a recovery in sales and profits as it has benefited from an easing of COVID-19 social restrictions which led to an increase in sexual activity. The Company expects this trend will continue withnot substantially changed since the adoption of vaccines, the reduction of social distancing restrictions and the benefit of management strategies to improve sales and profitability.Company's last impairment test.
The Company’s Passport Food Safetyglobal WATERPIK business has recently experienced a significant decline in customer demand for many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products from inflation and a growing number of water flosser consumers switching to more value-branded products. As a result, the WATERPIK business has experienced declining sales and profit declines due to decreased demand driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and pressures from new competitive activitiesprofits resulting from the loss of exclusivity onin a key product line. In the fourth quarter of 2021, management’s review of the outlook for the Passport business indicated an assessment of the recoverability of the long-lived assets associated with the business was necessary. That review determined that the estimatedreduction in expected future cash flows would not be sufficient to recoverwhich have eroded a substantial portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the assets resultingtrade name. This indefinite-lived intangible asset may be susceptible to impairment and a continued decline in anfair value could trigger a future impairment charge of the associated tradenameWATERPIK trade name.

The key assumptions used in the fourth quarter of 2021. The charge was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The assets haveprojections from the Company’s October 1, 2022 impairment analysis include a current net book value of approximately $8.5 and are being amortized over their remaining weighted average lifediscount rate of 6 8.4years. The Company is implementing%, revenue growth rates between 0% and 6% and Earnings Before Interest Taxes and Amortization ("EBITA") margins between

These assumptions are based on current market conditions, recent trends and management’s expectation of the success of initiatives to lower costs (including tariffs) and to develop lower-cost water flosser alternatives as well as improvement in the supply chain. While management has implemented strategies to address the declinerisk, significant changes in profitability.

The result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the beginning of the second quarter of 2022,2023, determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying values of all reporting units. The determination of fair value contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change and therefore could impact fair value in the future. The Company has never incurred a goodwill impairment charge.

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, railcars and equipment. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019, lease components (base rental costs) are accounted for separately from the nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

In 2015, the Company initiated a Supply Chain Finance program (“SCF Program”). Under the SCF Program, qualifying suppliers may elect to sell their receivables from the Company for early payment. Participating suppliers negotiate their receivables sales arrangements directly with a third party. The Company is not party to those agreements and do not have an economic interest in the suppliers' decisions to sell their receivables and has not been required to pledge any assets as security nor to provide any guarantee to third-party finance providers or intermediaries. The SCF Program may allow suppliers to obtain more favorable terms than they could secure on their own. The terms of the Company's payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF Program. The Company's payment terms with suppliers are consistent between suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF Program and those that do not participate. As a result, the program does not have an impact to the Company's average days outstanding.
As of September 30, 2023, the obligations outstanding related to the SCF program amount to $88.6, recorded within Accounts Payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $277.9 payments included in operating activities within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Recent Developments
Supply Chain, Inflation, Labor, Consumer Demand and Competition
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impacts to our business have been primarily supply chain related, including labor shortages and challenges with distribution and transportation, resulting in difficulty meeting consumer demand and significant broad-based cost inflation. In addition, government restrictions in China have further exacerbated global supply chain challenges and have had a negative impact on Chinese consumer demand for our products in China. As restrictions in China ease, we expect those impacts to our business in the future to be less severe. While it is difficult to predict with certainty when conditions may improve, we expect shortages and input cost inflation to continue at least throughout 2022.
To address challenges meeting customer demand for certain categories, including laundry detergent and litter, we have taken steps to increase our short-term manufacturing capacity for many of our products as well as our raw material and packaging capacity, andWe continue to work closely with our suppliers, contract manufacturers and retail partners to increase capacity and ensure sustained supply to keep pace with increased demand. We have also made investments in the expansion of long-term, in-house and third-party manufacturing capacity and are working to enlist additional suppliers that meet our quality specifications. While there is no assurance that these challenges will abate in the foreseeable future, or that the other measures we have or may implement will mitigatemonitor the impact of supply disruptions or rising costs, we continuedboth inflation and recessionary indicators including the effect of corresponding government actions, such as raising interest rates to see an improvement in fill rates incounteract inflation, that may negatively impact consumer spending, especially for our discretionary brands, and how these factors will potentially influence future cash flows for the third quarter, particularly in the household category,short and we expect those improvements to continue through the remainder of 2022 across most product categories.long term.
To attemptInflation and recessionary concerns are continuing to offset some of our cost pressures, we have enacted and continue to evaluate price increases in certain categories. However, we are also experiencingdrive a decline in consumer spending for our most discretionary brands, Waterpik and Flawless, as consumers reduce spending in these categories and a consumer shift to lower cost alternatives due primarily to inflationary and recessionary pressures.alternatives. Most notably, a growing number of water flosser consumers have switched to more value-branded products. To address these demand shifts, we are taking steps to better manage production schedules and inventory levels for those products along with increasing promotional activities and marketing spend, as well as continuing efforts to develop lower cost water flosser alternatives. Our portfolio being comprised of 40% value products and our low exposure to private label should help us to mitigate against a potential recessionary environment. We expect share gains to continue as we invest in our brands and supply chain fill levels continue to improve.
In our vitamin business, we have experienced residual impacts from previous vitamin-specific supply chain challenges that, in some cases, have resulted in reduced shelf space at certain retailers.
In addition, our Specialty Products business has been negatively impacted by the vitamin category there continues to be a softeningentrance of growth from record high levels duringnew foreign competition in the COVID-19 pandemic and significant product competition coming from new category entrants. The category has grown from about 10 competitors a decade ago to more than 50 of significance in recent years. Since 2019 alone, over 35 new brands have entered the gummy segment category.United States dairy market. We expect that low-priced imports will continue to evaluate and vigorously combat these pressures through, among other things, new product introductions and increased marketing and trade spending. However, there is no assurance this category will not decline inenter the future and that we will be able to offset any such decline.market.
Looking forward, the impact that these challenges will continue to have on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including inflationary impacts, customer’srising interest rates, recessionary concerns, retail customers' acceptance of all or a portion of any price increases, our continued ability to obtain an adequate supply of products and materials, the spread and severity of new COVID-19 variants, and the long-term impact of vaccines. Additionally, we may be impacted by our ability to recruit and retain a workforce and engage third-parties to manufacture and distribute our products, as well as any future government actions affecting employers and employees, consumers and the economy in general. The impact of any of these potential future developments are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape.
We are monitoring the impact of both inflation and recessionary indicators including the effect of corresponding government actions, such as raising interest rates to counteract inflation, that may negatively impact consumer spending, and how these factors will potentially influence future cash flows for the short and long term. While we expect that many of these effects will be transitory and that our value focusedvalue-focused portfolio positions us well in inflationary and slowing economic environments, it is impossible to predict their impact.
For additional discussion of how we are addressing decreased consumer demand for discretionary brands, as well as lower growth and increased competition in the vitamin category, please refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Russia - Ukraine War
The global economy continues to be negatively impacted by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Furthermore, governments in the U.S., United Kingdom, and European Union have each imposed export controls on certain products as well as financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and Belarus. We have experienced shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw material due in part to the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy including European energy market access to Russian energy sources. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the conflict, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, cyber attacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain.
We have no operations in Russia or Ukraine. Sales into Russia and Belarus, which have been suspended indefinitely, are not material to the Company’s consolidated net sales and earnings.
Acquisition of Hero
On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Hero Cosmetics, Inc., the developer of the Hero Mighty Patch® brand and other acne treatment products (the “Hero Acquisition”). The total consideration related to the Hero Acquisition, which is subject to adjustment, consists of a purchase price of approximately $565.0 million of cash (of which $8.0 million will be held back for five years to satisfy certain indemnification obligations) and approximately $65.0 million of restricted shares of the Company's common stock which will be recognized as compensation expense as the stock is subject to vesting requirements for individuals who will continue to be employed by the Company. The Hero Acquisition closed on October 13, 2022 and was financed with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Act”), which contains provisions effective January 1, 2023, including a 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks. While we are still evaluating the impact of the Act, we do not expect any material changes on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently, the Company’s global FLAWLESS business has experienced declining customer demand for many of its products, primarily due to lower consumer spending for discretionary products from inflation. In addition, the FLAWLESS business has also started to experience margin contraction as the Company has been unable to implement price increases in a highly competitive category to offset higher labor, material and transportation costs. These factors have resulted in a reduction in expected future cash flows that, if these factors persist or continue to worsen, may result in cash flows that are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets of the business. The projected cash flows exceed the carrying value of the long lived assets by slightly more than 10%. The key assumptions used to determine the projected cash flows include revenue, gross margin and marketing expense assumptions based on recent trends, including the reduction in customer demand for discretionaryhair removal products, and declining gross margins that FLAWLESS has been experiencing. The carrying value of the long-lived assets for the FLAWLESS business is approximately $465.0 at September 30, 2022. These assets are being amortized over their remaining weighted average life of 16 years. The long-lived assets of the FLAWLESS business are susceptible to impairment risk based on the factors described above. While management can and has implemented strategies to address the risk, including lowering the Company’s production costs, investing in new product ideas, and developing new creative advertising, significant adverse changes in demand, operating plans or economic factors in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows that could trigger a future impairment charge.FIRST RESPONSE® pregnancy kits.
In recent years our TROJAN business, specifically the condom category, has not grown and competition has increased. Social distancing requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic had further negatively impacted the business. As a result, the TROJAN business had experienced stagnant sales and profits resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows which eroded a portion of the excess between the fair and carrying value of the tradename. This indefinite-lived intangible asset may be susceptible to impairment risk and a continued decline in fair value could trigger a future impairment charge of the TROJAN tradename. While management has implemented strategies to address the risk, including lowering our production costs, investing in new product ideas, and developing new creative advertising, significant changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair value. More recently, TROJAN has experienced a recovery in sales and profits as it has benefited from an easing of COVID-19 social restrictions which led to an increase in sexual activity. We expect this trend will continue with the adoption of vaccines, the reduction of social distancing restrictions and the benefit of management strategies to improve sales and profitability.

On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program, under which we mayhad initial availability to repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration and replaced the 2017 Share Repurchase Program. All remaining dollars authorized for repurchase under the 2017 Share Repurchase Plan have been cancelled. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program did not modify our evergreen share repurchase program, authorized by the Board on January 29, 2014, under which we may repurchase, from time to time, Common Stock to reduce or eliminate dilution associated with issuances of Common Stock under its incentive plans. There have been no stock repurchases in 2023.
In December 2021, we executed open market purchasesAs of 1.8 million shares for $170.3, inclusive of fees, of which $100.0 was purchased under the evergreen share repurchase program and $70.3 was purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program. In December 2021, we also entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") contract with a commercial bank to purchase Common Stock. We paid $200.0 to the bank, inclusive of fees, and received an initial delivery of shares equal to $180.0, or 1.8 million. We used cash on hand and short-term borrowings to fund the initial purchase price. Upon the completion of the ASR, which ended in February 2022, the bank delivered an additional 0.2 million shares. The final shares delivered to us were determined by the average price per share paid by the bank during the purchase period. All 2.0 million shares were purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.
As a result of our recent stock repurchases,September 30, 2023, there remains $729.7 of share repurchase availability under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program as of September 30, 2022.Program.

During the third quarter of 20222023 the Company did not repurchase any shares of Common Stock pursuant to its share repurchase programs.
On October 28, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may purchasehad initial availability to repurchase up to $1,000.0 in shares of Common Stock (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”).

The Company paid $200.0 to the bank, inclusive of fees, and received an initial delivery of shares equal to $180.0, or 1.8 million shares. The Company used cash on hand and short-term borrowings to fund the initial purchase price. Upon the completion of the ASR, which ended in February 2022, the bank delivered an additional 0.2 million shares to the Company. The final shares delivered to the Company were determined by the average price per share paid by the bank during the purchase period. All 2.0 million shares were purchased under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.
