In October 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (Share Repurchase Program). Under this program, shares of the Company's common stock may be repurchased in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The timing, number, and value of shares repurchased will be determined at our discretion, considering factors such as capital allocation priorities, stock market price, general market and economic conditions, legal requirements, and compliance with debt agreements and preferred stock certificates of designation.

Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Vistra currently owns and operates, or is in the process of reclaiming, 12 surface lignite coal mines in Texas to provide fuel for its electricity generation facilities. Vistra also owns or leases, and is in the process of reclaiming, two waste-to-energy surface facilities in Pennsylvania. These mining operations are regulated by the MSHA under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended (the Mine Act), along with other federal and state regulatory agencies such as the RCT and Office of Surface Mining. The MSHA inspects U.S. mines, including Vistra's mines, on a regular basis, and if it believes a violation of the Mine Act or any health or safety standard or other regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation or order, generally accompanied by a proposed fine or assessment. Such citations and orders can be contested and appealed, which often results in a reduction of the severity and amount of fines and assessments and sometimes results in dismissal. Disclosure of MSHA citations, orders, and proposed assessments are provided in Exhibit 95.1 to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
