Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 8, 2025 and August 11, 2025, PPL Corporation ("PPL") entered into forward contracts to sell an aggregate of 27.4 million shares of its common stock at a blended initial forward price of approximately $35.90 per share with expected net proceeds (assuming physical settlement of such forward contracts) of approximately $984 million before any adjustments based on changes in daily interest rates, for certain stock loan fees as determined by the third-party agents, and reductions based on expected dividends. These forward contracts were executed through PPL's existing at-the-market ("ATM") program, established through an equity distribution agreement entered into in February 2025. These forward contracts, each for approximately $500 million, must be settled on or before December 30, 2026 and August 11, 2027, respectively.

These transactions are in addition to forward contracts of approximately $400 million of shares of PPL common stock entered into by PPL under the ATM program from inception through August 6, 2025, all of which must be settled on or before December 30, 2025. Since February 2025, PPL has entered into forward contracts under its ATM program for approximately $1.4 billion of shares of its common stock settling through August 2027, derisking a significant portion of the previously disclosed approximately $2.5 billion expected equity need through 2028.

PPL may elect, at its discretion, to physically settle, net share settle or net cash settle the forward contracts. The forward contracts under the ATM program are classified as equity transactions.
