PPL Corp announces $2B equity distribution agreement

ALLENTOWN, PA - PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL), a leading energy company, disclosed on Thursday the establishment of an Equity Distribution Agreement and Master Forward Confirmations that could facilitate the sale of up to $2 billion of its common stock. The company, headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, entered into these agreements with a consortium of financial institutions, including major banks and securities firms.

Under the Equity Distribution Agreement, PPL Corp may offer its common stock through sales agents or via forward sale agreements. These transactions, which could occur on the New York Stock Exchange or through negotiated trades, will be contingent on market conditions and the company's capital requirements.

The arrangement also includes the potential for forward sale agreements, in which PPL Corp would not immediately receive proceeds from sales. Instead, the company anticipates future gains upon the physical settlement of these agreements. The forward sale price will be adjusted based on interest rate factors and potential dividend declarations.

PPL Corp intends to use any net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The company's move to secure additional capital through this equity distribution framework underscores its proactive financial management strategy.

The detailed terms of these financial instruments are outlined in the documents filed with the SEC, which serve as the source for this information. This report does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
