(b)Two series of junior subordinated debentures were issued in February 2026. One series will initially bear interest at 4.20% until February 26, 2032 and thereafter will bear interest based on an underlying index plus a specified margin, reset every five years; such margin will increase on February 26, 2037 and February 26, 2052. The second series will initially bear interest at 4.75% until February 26, 2036, and thereafter will bear interest at a rate based on an underlying index plus a specified margin, to be reset every five years.

In March 2026, NEE sold $2.3 billion of equity units (initially consisting of Corporate Units). Each equity unit has a stated amount of $50 and consists of a contract to purchase NEE common stock (stock purchase contract) and, initially, a 2.5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Series P Debenture due February 15, 2031, and, initially, a 2.5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Series Q Debenture due February 15, 2034, each issued in the principal amount of $1,000 by NEECH. Each stock purchase contract requires the holder to purchase by no later than February 15, 2029 (the final settlement date) for a price of $50 in cash, a number of shares of NEE common stock (subject to antidilution adjustments), based on a price per share range described in the following sentence. If purchased on the final settlement date, as of March 31, 2026, the number of shares issued per equity unit would (subject to antidilution adjustments) range from 0.5435 shares if the applicable market value of a share of NEE common stock is less than or equal to $91.99 (the reference price) to 0.4348 shares if the applicable market value of a share is equal to or greater than $115.00 (the threshold appreciation price), with the applicable market value to be determined using the average closing prices of NEE common stock over a 20-day trading period ending on February 12, 2029. Total annual distributions on the equity units are at the rate of 7.375%, consisting of interest on the debentures (4.000% per year) and payments under the stock purchase contracts (3.375% per year). The interest rate on the debentures is expected to be reset on or after August 15, 2028. A holder of an equity unit may satisfy its purchase obligation with proceeds raised from remarketing the NEECH debentures that are part of its equity unit. The undivided beneficial ownership interests in the NEECH debentures that are components of each Corporate Unit are pledged to NEE to secure the holder's obligation to purchase NEE common stock under the related stock purchase contract. If a successful remarketing does not occur on or before the third business day prior to the final settlement date, and a holder has not notified NEE of its intention to settle the stock purchase contract with cash, the debentures that are components of the Corporate Units will be used to satisfy in full the holders' obligations to purchase NEE common stock under the related stock purchase contracts on the final settlement date. The debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NEE.
