Common Stock Retirement The Company records retirements of repurchased common stock, upon either formal or constructive retirement, at cost and allocates the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both retained earnings and additional paid-in capital. The portion allocated to additional paid-in capital is calculated on a pro rata basis of the shares to be retired and the total shares issued and outstanding as of the date of retirement. When shares of common stock are retired, they are deducted from the number of shares issued. As of June 30, 2024, the Company presented as retired 1,134,753 shares of its repurchased common stock with an aggregate repurchase price of $72.8 million, which the company intends to formally retire in 2024. |
