Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
During the first six months of 2017, the Company purchased 22.2 million shares of Common Stock in open market transactions for $1.2 billion under its share repurchase program authorized by VF’s Board of Directors. These transactions were treated as treasury stock transactions.
Common Stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury which are, in substance, retired. During the first six months of 2017, VF restored 22.3 million treasury shares 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 June 2017, December 2016 or June 2016. 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.
VF Common Stock is also held by the Company’s deferred compensation plans and is treated as treasury shares for financial reporting purposes. During the first half of 2017, the Company purchased 5,700 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions for $0.3 million. Balances related to shares held for deferred compensation plans were as follows:

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive income consists of net income and specified components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), which relates to changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in net income under GAAP but are instead deferred and accumulated within a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet. VF’s comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The deferred components of OCI are reported, net of related income taxes, in accumulated OCI in stockholders’ equity, as follows:
