On June 27, 2019, following the Federal Reserve's non-objection to the Corporation's 2019 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) capital plan, the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the repurchase of approximately $30.9 billion in common stock from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, including approximately $900 million to offset the effect of equity-based compensation plans during the same period. As part of the capital plan, on July 25, 2019, the Board declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.18 per share.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Corporation repurchased and retired 226 million and 446 million shares of common stock in connection with the 2018 CCAR capital plan and additional repurchase authorizations, which reduced shareholders’ equity by $6.5 billion and $12.8 billion.
