Equity Securities

ATM Program

In February 2025, PPL entered into an equity distribution agreement, pursuant to which PPL may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $2 billion of its common stock through an ATM Program, which may utilize an optional forward sales component. Each forward contract under the agreement must be settled within 24 months. The compensation paid to the selling agents by PPL may be up to 2% of the gross offering proceeds of the shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, PPL entered into forward contracts to sell approximately 38.7 million shares of its common stock at a blended initial forward price of approximately $35.50 per share. The forward sale price may be adjusted based on changes in daily interest rates, for certain stock loan fees as determined by a third-party agent, and will be subject to predetermined reductions based on expected dividends. Each outstanding forward contract must be settled on or before dates ranging from December 30, 2025 to August 11, 2027. PPL may elect, at its discretion, to physically settle, net share settle or net cash settle the forward contracts. At September 30, 2025, PPL could have settled the forward sale contracts with physical delivery of approximately 38.7 million shares of common stock for proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion. The forward contracts under the ATM program are classified as equity transactions.

Dividends

In August 2025, PPL declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock, payable October 1, 2025, of 27.25 cents per share (equivalent to $1.09 per annum).
