Certificate of Incorporation
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, up to 500,000 shares of Class B common stock and up to 50,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.001 per share. Shares of Class A common stock have both economic and voting rights. Shares of Class B common stock have no economic rights, but do have voting rights. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share and, except as otherwise required, will vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of LLC Units if we, at the election of an owner, exchange LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock.
Share Repurchases
In August 2021, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock in exchange for an up-front payment of $250.0 million. The total number of shares ultimately delivered under the ASR, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, was determined based on the volume weighted-average
price of our stock during the purchase period. The shares received were retired at the time of delivery and the up-front payment was accounted for as a charge to accumulated deficit. The ASR was a forward contracts indexed to our Class A common stock and met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification; therefore, it was not accounted for as a derivative instrument. The ASR was completed during 2021 and we repurchased a total of 3,425 shares of our Class A common stock at an average price of $72.99 per share under this arrangement. Expenses incurred in connection with the ASR were recorded as a charge to accumulated deficit.
In January 2022, our board of directors approved the repurchase of up to an additional $2,251.0 million of our Class A common stock. Such approval was in addition to the amount remaining available for repurchases under prior board approvals, such that we have authority to repurchase up to $3,000.0 million of our Class A common stock. Shares may be repurchased in open market purchases, block transactions and privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. This authorization has no time limits, does not obligate us to make any repurchases and may be modified, suspended or terminated by us at any time without prior notice.
In February 2022, we entered into ASRs to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock in exchange for an up-front aggregate payment of $750.0 million. The ASRs were completed in May 2022 and we repurchased a total of 9,202 shares of our Class A common stock at an average price of $81.50 per share under these arrangements. Expenses incurred in connection with the ASRs were recorded as a charge to accumulated deficit.
In addition to the ASRs discussed above, we also made the following open market repurchases of our Class A common stock:
