Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Share Repurchase Program
Our Board of Directors previously authorized a share repurchase program, as amended, to allow repurchases of up to $1.5 billion of the outstanding shares of our common stock and/or preferred stock (Repurchase Program). While we suspended share repurchases in 2019 and no additional repurchases are planned, repurchases may be made from time to time in the future at the Company’s discretion. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on the share price, general market and economic conditions and other considerations, including compliance with various debt agreements as they may be amended from time to time. The Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be discontinued at any time. Through June 30, 2020, we have repurchased 41.5 million shares of our common stock for $1,340.3 million , which included commissions paid of $0.8 million , leaving $160.5 million available for share repurchase under the Repurchase Program. The purchases were made in compliance with our debt instruments. Limitations on share repurchases imposed by our debt instruments are discussed in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Share Relinquishments
We routinely allow employees to relinquish common stock to pay estimated taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units and the payout of performance units that are settled in common stock under our equity incentive plans. The value of common stock tendered by employees is determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the dates of the respective relinquishments.

Dividends
The payment of dividends is subject to certain limitations, as set forth in our debt agreements. Such limitations on dividends are discussed in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We have suspended dividends in 2020 and our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the declaration and payment of dividends in the future. The amount of those dividends, if any, will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, any limitations imposed by our debt covenants and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant to such evaluations.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Our “Safety and Sustainability Management System” has been designed to set clear and consistent expectations for safety, health and environmental stewardship across our business. It aligns to the National Mining Association’s CORESafety® framework and encompasses three fundamental areas: leadership and organization, risk management and assurance. We also partner with other companies and certain governmental agencies to pursue new technologies that have the potential to improve our safety performance and provide better safety protection for employees.
We continually monitor our safety performance and regulatory compliance. The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by SEC regulations is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
