`Dear Acting Secretary Reese:
`
`Pursuant to section 35.42 of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory
`
`Commission (“Commission”),1 the above captioned sellers (collectively, the “Vistra Sellers”),
`each of which is an indirect subsidiary of Vistra Corp. (“Vistra”), hereby submit for filing this
`notice of non-material change in status (“Notice”). The Vistra Sellers hereby submit this Notice
`to inform the Commission of certain developments that occurred during the first quarter of 2024,
`all of which are the result of a transaction that was approved by the Commission on February 16,
`20242 and that was consummated on March 1, 2024 (the “Vistra-EH Transaction”).3 In
`particular, (i) Energy Harbor LLC (“EH LLC”) and Energy Harbor Nuclear Generation LLC
`(“EHNG” and together with EH LLC, the “EH Sellers”) report certain new affiliations resulting
`from the Vistra-EH Transaction, (ii) all of the Vistra Sellers report their new affiliation with
`entities that own or control more than 100 MW of net generation capacity within the PJM
`Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) balancing authority area (“BAA”) as a result of the Vistra-EH
`Transaction, and finally, (iii) certain of the Vistra Sellers report their new affiliation with an
`indirect, passive upstream owner as a result of the Vistra-EH Transaction. As demonstrated
`herein, these changes do not materially alter the facts and circumstances that the Commission
`relied upon in granting market-based rate authority to the Vistra Sellers.

`
`DESCRIPTION OF THE VISTRA SELLERS
`
`II.
`
`Each Vistra Seller is an indirect subsidiary of Vistra, a corporation organized under the
`laws of the State of Delaware that is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
`symbol VST. Other than institutional investors whose interests do not result in affiliation under
`the Commission’s regulations,4 to the best of the Vistra Sellers’ knowledge, no entity holds an
`interest of 10% or more in Vistra.
`
`Consistent with the Commission’s Order No. 8605 and Section 35.42(d) of the
`Commission’s regulations,6 an asset appendix has been generated in the relational database for
`
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`Based on its most recent quarterly compliance filing, The Vanguard Group, Inc. (“Vanguard”)
`currently holds approximately 11.90% of Vistra’s stock. The Vanguard Group, Inc., Quarterly
`Compliance Filing for Q1 2024 Docket No. EC19-57-002 (filed February 6, 2024). Vanguard
`holds Vistra’s stock pursuant to its FPA Section 203(a)(2) blanket authorization to acquire up to
`20% of the voting securities of individual publicly traded U.S. utilities, subject to certain
`conditions. The Vanguard Grp., Inc., 180 FERC ¶ 62,065 (2022). The Commission has found
`that the conditions imposed in Section 203(a)(2) blanket authorization orders prevent institutional
`investors from exercising control over the utilities whose voting securities they acquire. NextEra
`Energy, Inc., 174 FERC ¶ 61,213, at P 42 (2021). Therefore, utilities whose securities are held
`by a common institutional investor are not under common control and, as a result, are not
`considered to be affiliates of each other. Id. Therefore, Vistra and the Vistra Sellers are not
`affiliates of any of Vanguard’s other public utility holdings. To the best of the Vistra Seller’s
`knowledge, there is no entity that holds 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities, or other
`upstream affiliate, of Vanguard.

`the Vistra Sellers.7 A description of each Vistra Seller and its upstream ownership is detailed
`further below.
`
`A.
`
`Sellers Affiliated with Vistra Vision
`
`As a result of the Vistra-EH Transaction, the following entities (the “Vistra Vision
`Sellers”) are now each indirectly and wholly-owned by Vistra Preferred LLC (“Vistra
`Preferred”), which is directly and wholly-owned by Vistra Vision Holdings II LLC, which in
`turn is directly and wholly-owned by Vistra Vision LLC (“Vistra Vision”). There are two
`classes of shares in Vistra Vision: the Class A controlling equity interests, which account for
`approximately 85% of the overall interests in Vistra Vision; and the Class B passive equity
`interests, which account for the remaining 15% of overall interests in Vistra Vision. The Class A
`controlling equity interests in Vistra Vision, which account for the entirety of the voting equity
`interests in the Vistra Vision Sellers is directly held by Vistra Vision Holdings I LLC (“Vision
`Holdings”). Vision Holdings is directly and wholly-owned by Vistra Operations Company LLC,
`(“Vistra Operations”). Vistra Operations is directly and wholly-owned by Vistra Intermediate
`Company LLC, which is directly and wholly-owned by Vistra.
`
`The Class B equity interests of Vistra Vision are passive interests consistent with the
`Commission’s holdings in AES Creative Resources and its progeny.8 The only entity that holds
`Class B equity interests that has 10% or more of the interests in Vistra Vision is Nuveen Asset
`Management (“Nuveen”).9 Consistent with the requirements of Order No. 860, the Vistra Sellers
`affirm that Nuveen’s ownership interests consist solely of passive rights that are necessary to
`protect its investments and do not confer control, consistent with the Commission’s precedent in
`AES Creative.10

`
`Vistra Sellers represent that asset appendix serial number 16184 (1) contains a complete list of
`the assets with which the Vistra Sellers are affiliated; (2) does not contain any assets with which
`the Vistra Sellers are not affiliated; and (3) was generated fewer than 15 days before the filing
`date of the instant filing. See Blue Harvest Solar Park LLC, 181 FERC ¶ 61,158 at P 33 (2022)
`(clarifying that applicants need not submit distinct asset appendix serial numbers for all captioned
`applicants to a filing, so long as one asset appendix is submitted that, for all covered sellers, (1)
`contains a complete list of the assets with which the seller is affiliated; (2) does not contain any
`assets with which the seller is not affiliated; and (3) was generated fewer than 15 days before the
`filing date of the filing in which it is referenced). The asset appendix with serial number 16184
`was generated on April 24, 2024.
`
`AES Creative Resources, L.P, 129 FERC ¶ 61,239 (2009) (“AES Creative”).
`
`The rights held by Nuveen are consistent with those that the Vision Sellers have previously
`demonstrated to be passive consistent with the Commission’s precedent in AES Creative. See
`Energy Harbor Corp et al., 186 FERC ¶ 61,129 at P 63 (2024).
