Item 8.01.    Other Events.
 
On December 7, 2017, Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (“Intuitive”) completed its previously announced accelerated share repurchase program (the “ASR Program”) to repurchase $2.0 billion of its common stock with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman”).

On January 27, 2017, Intuitive made a payment of $2.0 billion to Goldman and Goldman delivered to Intuitive an initial delivery of approximately 2.4 million (or, after giving effect to the three-for-one stock split, approximately 7.3 million) shares of Intuitive’s common stock. Settlement was based on the daily volume-weighted average price per share of Intuitive’s common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount, and resulted in Intuitive being required either to deliver shares of common stock or to make a cash payment to Goldman. Intuitive made a final settlement payment of $274.0 million to Goldman on December 7, 2017.

After final settlement, the remaining amount of share repurchases authorized by Intuitive’s Board of Directors was approximately $717.5 million.
