STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Stock Repurchase Activity In March 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $10.0 billion of our common stock, with no fixed expiration. There were no repurchases of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we have $6.1 billion remaining under the repurchase program. Stock Award Plans Employees vest in restricted stock unit awards over the corresponding service term, generally between two and five years. The majority of outstanding restricted stock unit awards are granted at the date of hire or in Q2 as part of the annual compensation review and primarily vest quarterly in the relevant compensation year. Stock Award Activity Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying outstanding stock awards totaled 11.0 billion and 10.9 billion as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026. These totals include all vested and unvested stock awards outstanding, including those awards we estimate will be forfeited.
