Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders’ Equity
The authorized shares of the Company consist of 125 million shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), par value of $0.01 per share, with no shares issued, and 1,000 million shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, with 333.6 million shares of common stock issued and 309.0 million shares of common stock outstanding at February 1, 2020, and with 333.6 million shares of common stock issued and 307.5 million shares of common stock outstanding at February 2, 2019 (with shares held in the Company’s treasury being treated as issued, but not outstanding).
No shares of common stock were retired during 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Beginning in January 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors approved various authorizations to purchase, in the aggregate, up to $18,000 million of common stock, which includes the Company's Board of Directors approval of an additional authorization to purchase common stock of $1,500 million on February 26, 2016. As of February 1, 2020, $1,716 million of authorization remained unused.
Common Stock
The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Subject to preferential rights that may be applicable to any Preferred Stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors in its discretion, out of funds legally available.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock contains shares repurchased under the share repurchase program, shares repurchased to cover employee tax liabilities related to stock plan activity and shares maintained in a trust related to deferred compensation plans. Under the deferred compensation plans, shares are maintained in a trust to cover the number estimated to be needed for distribution on account of stock credits currently outstanding.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
For the Company, the only component of accumulated other comprehensive loss for 2019, 2018 and 2017 relates to post employment and postretirement plan items. The net actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits related to post employment and postretirement benefit plans are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (income) and are included in benefit plan income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, the Company incurred the pro-rata recognition of net actuarial losses associated with an increase in lump sum distributions associated with store closings, organizational restructuring, and periodic distribution activity as settlement charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 9, Retirement Plans, and Note 10, Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits, for further information.
