11. HUNTSMAN CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM On September 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to $150 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or by other means. The timing and actual number of any shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and repurchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued from time to time without prior notice. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock under the authorized repurchase program. We intend to begin repurchasing shares under this program beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS During each of the quarters ended September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we paid cash dividends of approximately $31 million, or $0.125 per share, to common stockholders, and during each of the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, we paid cash dividends of approximately $30 million, or $0.125 per share, to common stockholders.
