Certain key employees have been granted time-based, performance-based and market-based restricted stock unit awards (“restricted stock units”). The time-based restricted stock units generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The performance-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is based upon the Company’s cumulative adjusted core earnings per share during the performance period. The market-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The market-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s total shareholder return based on the Company’s stock performance in relation to the companies in the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index excluding the Company.

The following Board approved share repurchase programs were executed through a combination of accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements and open market transactions (in millions):

Under ASR agreements, the Company makes payments to the participating financial institutions and receives an initial delivery of shares of common stock. The final number of shares delivered upon settlement of the ASR agreements is determined based on a discount to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the agreements. At the time the shares are received by the Company, the initial delivery and the final delivery of shares upon settlement of the ASR agreements results in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share.

The terms of ASR agreements, structured as outlined above, were as follows (in millions, except average price):


Agreement Execution Date	Agreement Settlement Date		Agreement Amount		Initial Shares Delivered	Additional Shares Delivered	Total Shares Delivered	Average Price Paid Per Share

Q4 FY 2024	Q1 FY 2025		$	555	4.2	1.0	5.2	$	107.08
