Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. Peabody’s Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, under the symbol “BTU.” As of February 14, 2025 there were 170 holders of the Company’s Common Stock, as determined by counting its record holders and the number of participants reflected in a security position listing provided to the Company by the Depository Trust Company (DTC). Because such DTC participants are brokers and other institutions holding shares of Peabody’s Common Stock on behalf of their customers, the Company does not know the actual number of unique shareholders represented by these record holders. Share Repurchase Program On April 17, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (2023 Repurchase Program) authorizing repurchases of up to $1.0 billion of its common stock. The 2023 Repurchase Program superseded and replaced the previous repurchase program that had been announced in 2017. Under the 2023 Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase shares of common stock from time to time at the discretion of management through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated or other structured share repurchase programs, or other means. The manner, timing and pricing of any share repurchase transactions will be based on a variety of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, the Company’s capital structure and alternative opportunities that the Company may have for the use or investment of capital. Through December 31, 2024, the Company had repurchased 23.8 million shares of its common stock under the 2023 Repurchase Program for $530.8 million, which included commissions paid of $0.4 million, leaving $ 469.6 million available for share repurchase.
