PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS\n\nIn May 2019, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, which has been upsized a number of times since then. Most recently in November 2022, our board of directors authorized an upsize of our share repurchase program from US$25.0 billion to US$40.0 billion, which is effective through the end of March 2025. In February 2024, our board of directors authorized a further increase of US$25.0 billion to our share repurchase program through the end of March 2027.\n\nDuring the year ended March 31, 2026, as part of our share repurchase program initiative, we repurchased a total of 73 million Shares on the NYSE for an aggregate consideration of US$1.0 billion.\n\n \n\nIn addition, our equity incentive award agreements generally provide that, in the event of a grantee’s termination for cause (including any commission of an act of fraud, dishonesty or ethical breach) or violation of a non‑competition undertaking, we will have the right to terminate grants, forfeit and cancel shares or, if applicable, repurchase the shares acquired by the grantee, generally at the original purchase price or the exercise price paid for these shares.\n\n \n\n201\n\n[Table of Contents](#toc_page)\n\n \n\nThe table below summarizes the repurchases we made in the periods indicated.\n\n \n\nMonth of repurchase\n\n \n\nTotal Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Share Repurchase Program\n\n \n\n \n\nTotal Price Paid\n(US$, in millions)\n\n \n\n \n\nAverage Price Paid Per Share (1)\n(US$)\n\n \n\n \n\nApproximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under Share Repurchase Program\n(US$, in millions)\n\n \n\nApril 2025\n\n \n\n \n\n30,630,480\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n427\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n13.93\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,669\n\n \n\nMay 2025\n\n \n\n \n\n13,559,320\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n210\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n15.48\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,459\n\n \n\nJune 2025\n\n \n\n \n\n11,685,192\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n168\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n14.40\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,291\n\n \n\nJuly 2025\n\n \n\n \n\n11,019,160\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n154\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n13.99\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,137\n\n \n\nAugust 2025\n\n \n\n \n\n5,839,336\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n87\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n14.81\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\nSeptember 2025\n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\nOctober 2025\n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\nNovember 2025\n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\nDecember 2025\n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\nJanuary 2026\n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\nFebruary 2026\n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\nMarch 2026\n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n-\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n19,050\n\n \n\n \n\nNote:\n\n \n\n(1) Each ADS represents eight Shares."}
