Common Stock

During the year ended March 2021, the Company did not purchase shares of Common Stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase program authorized by VF's Board of Directors. During the years ended March 2020 and 2019, the Company purchased 12.0 million and 1.9 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, in open market transactions for $1.0 billion and $150.0 million, respectively, under its share repurchase program authorized by VF’s Board of Directors. These purchases were treated as treasury stock transactions.
Common Stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury which are, in substance, retired. During the years ended March
2020 and 2019, VF restored 12.0 million and 2.2 million treasury shares, including shares held by the Company's deferred compensation plans, respectively, to an unissued status, after which they were no longer recognized as shares held in treasury. There were no shares held in treasury at the end of March 2021, 2020 or 2019. The excess of the cost of treasury shares acquired over the $0.25 per share stated value of Common Stock is deducted from retained earnings.
As of March 2021 and March 2020, there were no shares held in the Company's deferred compensation plans.
