2. | We note that the company will repurchase up to $2.5 billion of its stock following the closing of the merger. If a significant amount of these repurchases take place in 2023, it appears that the Stock Buyback Tax included as part of the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 may materially impact the company’s repurchases. Please advise. |
