2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

The Cogentrix Acquisition resulted in the addition of 10 modern natural gas generation facilities totaling approximately 5,500 MW of capacity, including three CCGT facilities andtwo combustion turbine facilities located across PJM, four CCGT facilities in ISO-NE, andone cogeneration facility in ERCOT.

Aggregate consideration at closing consisted of approximately (i) $2.2 billion in cash, net of adjustments for working capital, acquired cash, the assumption of $1.7 billion of outstanding indebtedness of Cogentrix as of the acquisition date, and certain other adjustments and (ii)5,000,000 shares of Vistra common stock, par value $0.01, issued to the seller, at a mutually agreed-upon value of $185 per share.

The Cogentrix Acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805), which requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Vistra will provide the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the supplemental pro forma revenues and net income of Vistra as if the Cogentrix Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2025, in Vistra's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2026.

On November 5, 2026, we repaid the $1.7 billion of debt assumed in the Cogentrix Acquisition using a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Receivables Facility and Repurchase Facility.

Lotus Acquisition

On October 22, 2025, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated May 15, 2025, Vistra Operations acquired 100% of the membership interests of certain subsidiaries of Lotus (Lotus Acquisition). The Lotus Acquisition resulted in the addition ofseven natural gas generation facilities totaling 2,600 MW in Delaware and Pennsylvania (PJM), Rhode Island (ISO-NE), New York (NYISO), and California (CAISO), further geographically diversifying Vistra's natural gas fleet.

The aggregate purchase price consisted of a base purchase price of $1.9 billion, subject to certain customary adjustments, including the acquired companies' working capital, cash, indebtedness, and certain other adjustments. Vistra Operations funded the Lotus Acquisition with a combination of cash and the assumption of the acquired companies' indebtedness, which consisted of a senior secured credit facility, including an existing term loan with approximately $800 million principal outstanding, which reduced the cash consideration payable at closing. Cash consideration payable at closing, excluding adjustments for the acquired companies' working capital, cash, and certain other adjustments, was $1.1 billion.

The Lotus Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, which requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The total consideration transferred at closing, inclusive of adjustments to the base purchase price, was $1.237 billion. During March 2026, the Company received $6 million of net additional consideration associated with the working capital settlement resulting in a final purchase price of $1.231 billion.

Provisional fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2025 and final adjustments to those measurements were made through September 30, 2026. The final fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:

(a)Acquired property, plant, and equipment are valued using a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach utilized a discounted cash flow analysis based upon a debt-free, free cash flow model (Level 3).

(b)Assumed long-term debt was valued based on observable market prices in less active markets (Level 2) which approximates the principal balance. In November 2025, the Company repaid the long-term indebtedness assumed.

(c)Acquired derivatives are valued using the methods described in Note 14 (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3).

The combined results of operations are reported in the consolidated financial statements beginning as of the acquisition date. The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 assumes that the Lotus Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the Lotus Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2024, nor is the unaudited pro forma financial information indicative of future results of operations, which may differ materially from the pro forma financial information presented here.

The unaudited pro forma financial information presented above includes adjustments for incremental depreciation and amortization as a result of the fair value determination of the net assets acquired, effects of the Lotus Acquisition on tax expense (benefit), and other related adjustments. Determining the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Lotus Acquisition since the acquisition date is impractical as operations have been integrated into our commercial platform which is managed at a portfolio level.

In June 2026, Vistra Operations entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of our Casco Bay, Beaver Falls, and Syracuse natural gas generation facilities (the Disposal Group). The Disposal Group comprises 754 MW of capacity in ISO-NE and NYISO and is reported in the East segment. The sale closed on October 8, 2026.

The related assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group, primarily consisting of property, plant, and equipment, have been presented separately as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026. Depreciation and amortization of the long-lived assets included in the Disposal Group ceased upon classification as held for sale in June 2026.
