Common Stock

During the years ended March 2020 and 2019, the three months ended March 2018 and the year ended December 2017, the Company purchased 12.0 million, 1.9 million, 3.4 million and 22.2 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, in open market transactions for $1.0 billion, $150.0 million, $250.0 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, 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 years ended March 2020 and 2019, the three months ended March 2018 and the year ended
December 2017, VF restored 12.0 million, 2.2 million, 3.4 million and 22.3 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 2020, March 2019, March 2018 or December 2017. 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 2020 and March 2019, there were no shares held in the Company's deferred compensation plans.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income consists of net income and specified components of 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. The deferred components of OCI are reported, net of related income taxes, in accumulated OCI in stockholders’ equity, as follows:
