Explanatory note: Pioneer Natural Resources Company and its subsidiaries ("Pioneer" or the "Company") presents in this Item 2.02 certain information regarding shares repurchased under the Company's common stock repurchase program during the fourth quarter of 2021.
Stock Repurchase Program
In December 2018, the Company's board of directors authorized a $2 billion common stock repurchase program. Under this stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares at management's discretion in accordance with applicable securities laws. In addition, the Company may repurchase shares pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Act of 1934, which would permit the Company to repurchase shares at times that may otherwise be prohibited under the Company's insider trading policy. The stock repurchase program has no time limit and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time by the board of directors. All share repurchases for the year ended December 31, 2021 were completed during the fourth quarter.
Expenditures to acquire shares under the stock repurchase program are as follows:

Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company either (i) terminated certain of its 2022 derivative positions or (ii) entered into equal and offsetting derivative trades, which had the net effect of eliminating certain of its 2022 derivative positions.
