Cost Basis for Non Covered Stock Transaction

I sold stock purchased through an employee stock purchase plan, and the initial purchase was over 20 years ago.  The dividends were reinvested throughout this period.  To report the cost basis on the non-covered portion of the transaction, would I use the stock price for the date of the initial purchase, even though subsequent purchases through the dividend reinvestment would have been at different prices?
