Item 8.01. Other Events.
Ford Motor Company ("Ford" or the "Company") is undertaking an anti-dilutive share repurchase program to offset the dilutive effect of share-based compensation granted during 2026 and the dilutive effect of settling with shares our obligations in excess of the aggregate principal amount of our 0.00% Senior Convertible Notes due March 15, 2026 that are converted. The plan authorizes repurchases of up to 31.7 million shares of Ford Common Stock.
The Company may repurchase shares of Common Stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate, legal, and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, trading volume, and other considerations. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of Common Stock. The Company expects to utilize its existing cash and cash equivalents to fund repurchases under the share repurchase program.
