Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 15, 2026, Dominion Energy, Inc. (Dominion Energy) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with NextEra Energy, Inc. (NextEra Energy), WG Development Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy (Merger Sub Corp), and CS Holdco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy (LLC Sub). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions in the Merger Agreement and the related plans of merger, (i) Merger Sub Corp will merge with and into Dominion Energy (the First Merger) with Dominion Energy surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy (the Surviving Corporation) and (ii) the Surviving Corporation will immediately thereafter merge with and into LLC Sub (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Mergers) with LLC Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy (the Surviving Entity).

The Board of Directors of Dominion Energy (the Board) unanimously determined that it is in the best interests of Dominion Energy and its shareholders to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the First Merger. Accordingly, the Board unanimously adopted the Merger Agreement and the plan of merger relating to the First Merger and resolved to recommend that holders of Dominion Energy’s common stock (Dominion Energy Common Stock) vote to approve the Merger Agreement and the plan of merger relating to the First Merger at a special meeting to be called by Dominion Energy for such purpose.

Under the Merger Agreement, NextEra Energy has agreed to, as soon as practical after the effective time of the First Merger (the Effective Time), increase the size of its board of directors to consist of 14 members and to appoint four mutually agreeable members of the Board or Dominion Energy’s executive management to serve as directors of NextEra Energy, one of which will be Dominion Energy’s current Chair and Chief Executive Officer. NextEra Energy has also agreed to maintain Dominion Energy’s current headquarters in Richmond, Virginia and an operating headquarters in Cayce, South Carolina.

At the Effective Time: (a) each share of Dominion Energy Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist, and each such share will be automatically converted into the right to receive (i) cash in an amount equal to a pro rata share of an aggregate of $360 million (the Cash Consideration), without interest, based on the number of shares of Dominion Energy Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with the number of shares of Dominion Energy Common Stock underlying certain Dominion Energy equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) 0.8138 shares of common stock of NextEra Energy (NextEra Energy Common Stock); (b) each share of Dominion Energy Common Stock owned by NextEra Energy or Dominion Energy, or by any wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy (including Merger Sub Corp) or Dominion Energy, will be cancelled and will cease to exist and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefore; and (c) each share of capital stock of Merger Sub Corp issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. At the effective time of the Second Merger (the Second Effective Time), (i) each share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor and (ii) the membership interests of LLC Sub will be unaffected by the Second Merger and will remain outstanding as membership interests of the Surviving Entity. No fractional shares of NextEra Energy Common Stock will be issued in the First Merger. Each holder of Dominion Energy Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares will instead be entitled to receive cash, without interest, in an amount based upon the volume-weighted average price of the NextEra Energy Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day prior to the Effective Time. If the First Merger is consummated, the Dominion Energy Common Stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and subsequently deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).

Each restricted stock award granted under an Dominion Energy equity award plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, at the Effective Time, be assumed and converted into (or cancelled and replaced by) a NextEra Energy restricted stock award relating to a number of shares of NextEra Energy Common Stock equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (i) the number of shares of Dominion Energy Common Stock subject to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) 0.8138 (the Equity Award Exchange Ratio). The terms and conditions applicable to such NextEra Energy award will be the same as those applicable to such Dominion Energy award prior to the Effective Time, and will also include the right to receive the equity award holder’s pro rata share of the Cash Consideration, subject to the same vesting conditions as such award (an Equity Award Cash Distribution Right).

Each performance share award and performance share unit granted under an Dominion Energy equity award plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, at the Effective Time, be assumed and converted into (or cancelled and replaced by) an award of NextEra Energy restricted stock units relating to a number of shares of NextEra Energy Common Stock equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (i) the number of shares of Dominion Energy Common Stock subject to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time (as determined based upon the number of shares of Dominion Energy Common Stock that would be earned if the performance level achieved was the greater of the “target” level performance and the actual level of performance based on a shortened performance period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio. The terms and conditions applicable to such NextEra Energy restricted stock units will be the same, excluding performance-based vesting conditions, as those applicable to such Dominion Energy awards or units as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and will also include an Equity Award Cash Distribution Right.

Each deferred unit credited or deemed credited to a stock unit account under Dominion Energy’s Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted, at the Effective Time, into a deferred unit with respect to a number of shares of NextEra Energy Common Stock equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (i) the number of shares of Dominion Energy Common Stock subject to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any accumulated dividend equivalent rights) and (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, to be payable pursuant to the terms of Dominion Energy’s Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan, and will also include an Equity Award Cash Distribution Right.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Dominion Energy is required to redeem all of its currently issued and outstanding 4.35% Series C Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock prior to the Effective Time if the Effective Time occurs after January 15, 2027.

The closing of the First Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. These include (i) approval of the Merger Agreement and the plan of merger relating to the First Merger by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Dominion Energy Common Stock entitled to vote thereon (the Dominion Energy Shareholder Approval), (ii) approval of the issuance of the shares of NextEra Energy Common Stock to be issued in the First Merger by the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the outstanding shares of NextEra Energy Common Stock entitled to vote thereon in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE (the NextEra Energy Shareholder Approval and, together with the Dominion Energy Shareholder Approval, the Shareholder Approvals), (iii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act), (iv) receipt of specified consents of or under (a) the HSR Act, (b) the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, (c) the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, (d) the Virginia State Corporation Commission, (e) the North Carolina Utilities Commission and (f) the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (collectively, the Regulatory Clearances), in each case, without the imposition, individually or in the aggregate, of a Burdensome Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (v) the absence of legal restraints prohibiting the First Merger, (vi) approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of NextEra Energy Common Stock to be issued in the First Merger, (vii) the initial and continued effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by NextEra Energy in connection with the Mergers, (viii) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality and knowledge qualifiers) and compliance by each party with its covenants under the Merger Agreement in all material respects and (ix) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to either Dominion Energy or NextEra Energy.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties for a transaction of this nature. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants of Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy, including pre-closing covenants to refrain from taking certain actions without the consent of the other party and to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice. Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy have also agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents and permits from governmental authorities (including all necessary regulatory clearances) or any other person required to consummate the mergers, except to the extent that doing so would constitute a Burdensome Condition.

Under the Merger Agreement, each of Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy are subject to certain restrictions on its ability to solicit, engage in discussions with respect to or otherwise knowingly encourage or facilitate an alternative Company Acquisition Proposal or an alternative Parent Acquisition Proposal (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to customary exceptions.

The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights for each of Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy, including (i) if the First Merger has not been consummated by November 15, 2027, which date is extendable to August 15, 2028 if specified conditions relating to the Regulatory Clearances, the absence of a Burdensome Condition or the absence of certain governmental orders have not been satisfied, (ii) if either of the required Shareholder Approvals is not obtained, (iii) upon a change of recommendation by the board of directors of the other party, as well as, in the case of Dominion Energy, a change in recommendation by the Board and concurrent entry into a definitive agreement for a superior proposal, or (iv) due to certain breaches of the Merger Agreement by the other party, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

In certain circumstances in connection with or following termination of the Merger Agreement, including (i) upon a termination by Dominion Energy to enter into a definitive agreement for a superior proposal, (ii) following a change of recommendation by the Board or (iii) upon entry into an alternative transaction within 12 months following the public announcement or disclosure of another bona fide acquisition proposal with respect to Dominion Energy prior to such termination (where such termination is due to a failure to obtain the Dominion Energy Shareholder Approval or certain breaches of the Merger Agreement by Dominion Energy), Dominion Energy will be required to pay NextEra Energy a termination fee of $2.24 billion. In comparable circumstances, NextEra Energy will be required to pay Dominion Energy a termination fee of $6.52 billion. In other specified circumstances where the Merger Agreement is terminated and such termination results from the failure of one or more specified conditions relating to or involving certain regulatory matters having been satisfied or waived, NextEra Energy will be required to pay Dominion Energy a termination fee of $4.83 billion.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this Report) and incorporated herein by reference.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) have been made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement, (ii) have been qualified by (a) matters specifically disclosed in any reports filed by Dominion Energy or NextEra Energy with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) prior to the date of the Merger Agreement (subject to certain exceptions) and (b) confidential disclosures made in confidential disclosure letters delivered in connection with the Merger Agreement, (iii) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement that may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (iv) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement and (v) have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as fact. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is included with this Report only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the parties thereto or their respective businesses. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties to the Merger Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Dominion Energy’s public disclosures. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy that is or will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents that Dominion Energy or NextEra Energy files with the SEC.

All statements other than statements of historical fact included or incorporated by reference in this Report, including, among other things, statements regarding the proposed business combination transaction between NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy and future events, plans and anticipated results of operations, business strategies, the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions, the anticipated impact of the proposed transactions on the combined company’s business and future financial and operating results, the anticipated closing date for the proposed transactions and other aspects of NextEra Energy’s or Dominion Energy’s operations or operating results, are forward-looking statements. Words and phrases such as “ambition,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target,” the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events can be used to identify forward-looking statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, NextEra Energy or Dominion Energy expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance, outcomes or results and is subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond NextEra Energy’s or Dominion Energy’s control, that could cause actual performance, outcomes or results to differ materially from what is expressed or implied in the forward-looking statement.

These factors include a failure by NextEra Energy to successfully integrate Dominion Energy’s businesses and technologies, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; the risk that the expected benefits of the proposed transactions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; each party’s ability to obtain the approval of its shareholders required to consummate the proposed transactions and the timing of the closing of the proposed transactions, including the risk that the conditions to closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all or the failure of the transactions to close for any other reason or to close on the anticipated terms, including with the anticipated tax treatment; the risk that any governmental or regulatory approval, consent or authorization that may be required for the proposed transactions is not obtained, is delayed or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated or that cause the termination of the Merger Agreement and abandonment of the transactions; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement by either party; the risk that certain provisions in the Merger Agreement or the pendency of the transactions may impact either party’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; unanticipated difficulties, liabilities or expenditures relating to the transactions, including the impact of potential litigation relating to the transactions; the effect of the announcement, pendency or completion of the proposed transactions on the parties’ business relationships and business operations generally, including the parties’ relationship with regulators, suppliers, vendors and customers; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transactions on the parties’ common stock prices and uncertainty as to the long-term value of either party’s common stock; risks that the proposed transactions disrupt either party’s current plans and operations, including due to the diversion of the attention of management from ordinary course business operations, and potential difficulties in hiring or retaining employees as a result of the proposed transactions; any rating agency actions; and the impact of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transactions on either party’s ability to access capital, including the short- and long-term debt markets, on a timely and affordable basis; general worldwide economic conditions and related uncertainties; the effect and timing of changes in laws or in governmental regulations (including environmental); fluctuations in trading prices of securities of NextEra Energy and in the financial results of NextEra Energy or Dominion Energy; and the timing and extent of changes in interest rates, commodity prices and demand and market prices for electricity or gas. The registration statement on Form S-4 and joint proxy statement/prospectus that will be filed with the SEC will describe additional risks in connection with the proposed

transactions. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors to be presented in the registration statement on Form S-4 and joint proxy statement/prospectus are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. For additional information about other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to NextEra Energy’s and Dominion Energy’s respective periodic reports and other filings with the SEC, including the risk factors contained in NextEra Energy’s and Dominion Energy’s most recently filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Any forward-looking statements included in this Report represent current expectations and are inherently uncertain and are made only as of the date hereof (or, if applicable, the dates indicated in such statement). Except as required by law, neither NextEra Energy nor Dominion Energy undertakes or assumes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or to reflect subsequent events or circumstances or otherwise.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT

OF THE MERGERS ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE

CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

SECTION 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without

any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub Corp or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub Corp:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled

Shares, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.01(b)) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each such Company Share, whether represented by a certificate

(“Certificate”) or in non-certificated form and represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Share”), shall automatically be converted into the right to receive

(i) an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Amount, and (ii) 0.8138 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Parent Shares (the “Per Share Stock Amount” and, together with

the Per Share Cash Amount, the “Merger Consideration”). Following the Effective Time, the holders of Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the

rights set forth in Section 2.03(b)(v).

(b) Cancellation of Cancelled Shares. Each Company Share owned

by Parent, Merger Sub Corp or any other wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent and each Company Share owned by the Company or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”) shall cease to be

outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

Sub Corp. Each share of common stock, without par value, of Merger Sub Corp issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid

and non-assessable share of common stock, without par value, of the Surviving Corporation, and all such shares together shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving

Corporation.

(d) Effect of Second Merger. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second

Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, LLC Sub or any holder of capital stock thereof, (i) each share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second

Effective Time shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof or payment of any consideration therefor, and (ii) the membership interests of LLC Sub shall be unaffected by the Second Merger and shall remain outstanding as membership

interests of the Surviving Entity.

SECTION 2.02 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Treatment of Performance Shares and Performance Share Units. At the Effective Time, each performance share award and performance

share unit granted under a Company Equity Award Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Performance Share Award”) shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the

part of the holder thereof, be assumed and converted into (or canceled and replaced by) an award of Parent restricted stock units (a “Parent RSU Conversion Award”) relating to a number of Parent Shares equal to the product,

rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (i) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Performance Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (with such number of Company Shares determined based upon the number of

Company Shares that would be earned if the performance level achieved was the greater of (A) the “target” level of performance and (B) the actual level of performance measured based on a shortened performance period ending

immediately prior to the Effective Time, as reasonably determined by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Company Board in good faith (following consultation with Parent)) (such greater performance level, the “Subject

Performance Level”), and (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, with the same terms and conditions (including service-based vesting conditions, forfeiture conditions and dividend equivalent rights, but excluding performance-based

vesting conditions) that applied to such Company Performance Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the terms of such Parent RSU Conversion Award will also include an Equity Award Cash Distribution Right.

(b) Treatment of Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each restricted stock award in respect of Company Shares granted under a

Company Equity Award Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company RSA”) shall be assumed and converted into (or canceled and replaced by) a Parent Restricted Stock Award, relating to a number of

Parent Shares equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company RSA immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, with the

same terms and conditions (including dividend rights) that applied to such Company RSA immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the terms of such Parent Restricted Stock Award will also include an Equity Award Cash Distribution Right.

(c) Treatment of Deferred Units. At the Effective Time, each deferred unit in respect of Company Shares credited or deemed credited to

a stock unit account under the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Deferred Unit”) shall be

converted automatically into a number of deferred unit(s) in respect of Parent Shares (a “Parent Deferred Unit”) equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole number, of (x) the number of Company Shares subject to such

Company Deferred Unit (including any additional Company Shares credited as accumulated dividend equivalent rights with respect to such Company Deferred Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time) multiplied by (y) the Equity Award Exchange

Ratio, to be payable pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan, and the terms of such Parent Deferred Unit will also include an Equity Award Cash Distribution Right.

(d) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company

Board or any authorized committee thereof, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.02(a), Section 2.02(b) and

Section 2.02(c). The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Company Shares or other capital stock

of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Performance Share Awards, Company RSAs, Company Deferred Units or any other awards under any Company Equity Award Plan.

(e) Registration. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) with respect to the issuance of Parent Shares subject to Parent RSU Conversion Awards and Parent Restricted Stock Awards pursuant to this Section 2.02

(collectively, “Converted Parent Awards”) that are eligible to be registered on Form S-8. The Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with, and assist Parent in the preparation of, such

registration statement. Parent shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as the Converted Parent

Awards remain outstanding.

SECTION 2.03 Exchange of Company Shares.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a paying and exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company

(the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an agreement with such Exchange Agent in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company pursuant to which the Exchange Agent will (i) act as agent for the shareholders of the

Company in connection with the First Merger and receive payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration to which the shareholders of the Company shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and (ii) act as agent

for Parent in transmitting the Merger Consideration to such shareholders following the occurrence of the Effective Time in accordance with this Agreement. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the

Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, an amount of cash in immediately available funds and an amount of Parent Shares in book-entry form, in each case, sufficient for the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver the

Merger Consideration required to be paid and delivered by Parent in accordance with Section 2.01(a). In addition, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, from time to time after the

Effective Time, (A) any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.03(g) and (B) cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.03(h). All

cash and Parent Shares, together with any dividends or other distributions, deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Transmittal Materials and Instructions. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three

(3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise provide to each holder of record of Company Shares (other than holders of Cancelled Shares) (A) transmittal materials, including a letter of

transmittal in form as agreed by Parent and the Company, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, with respect to Book-Entry Shares, only upon delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the

book-entry transfer of Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), and with respect to Certificates, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the

Certificates as provided in Section 2.03(f) to the Exchange Agent), all such transmittal materials to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (B) instructions

for use in effecting the surrender of the Book-Entry Shares or Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.03(f)) to the Exchange Agent.

(ii) Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in

Section 2.03(f)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of transmittal materials and instructions referred to in Section 2.03(b)(i), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to

receive in exchange therefor (A) a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to (1) the number of Company Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in

Section 2.03(f)) multiplied by the Per Share Cash Amount, plus (2) any dividends and other distributions such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(g) plus (3) any cash

in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(h) and (B) the number of Parent Shares, in uncertificated book-entry form, equal to the number of Company Shares

represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.03(f)) multiplied by the Per Share Stock Amount. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash amount payable upon

due surrender of the Certificates.

(iii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive as a result of

the First Merger pursuant to Section 2.01(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares (other than Cancelled Shares) shall upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s

message” in customary form (it being understood that the holders of Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have surrendered such Company Shares upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of such “agent’s message” or such other

evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, (A) a cash amount in immediately available

funds equal to (1) the number of Company Shares represented by such Book-Entry Shares multiplied by the Per Share Cash Amount plus (2) any dividends and other distributions such holder has the right to receive pursuant to

Section 2.03(g) plus (3) any cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(h) and (B) the number of Parent Shares, in

uncertificated book-entry form, equal to the number of Company Shares represented by such Book-Entry

Shares multiplied by the Per Share Stock Amount. For Book-Entry Shares held through the Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”), Parent and the Company shall cooperate to

establish procedures with the DTC to ensure that the Exchange Agent will transmit the amounts set forth in the foregoing subclauses (A) and (B) to the DTC or its nominees as soon as practicable after the Effective Time upon

surrender of shares held of record by the DTC or its nominees in accordance with the DTC’s customary surrender procedures. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash amount payable upon due surrender of the Book-Entry Shares.

(iv) Unrecorded Transfers; Other Payments. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares that is not

registered in the transfer records of the Company or if payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration and the other payments contemplated by Section 2.01(a) and this Section 2.03 is to be made

to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, such Certificate or Book-Entry Share may be exchanged in accordance with this Article II if the Certificate or

Book-Entry Share formerly representing such Company Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent accompanied by all documents required (as reasonably determined by Parent) to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable

transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(v) Rights of Holders of Company Shares;

Expenses. Until surrendered or exchanged pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such

surrender or exchange the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a), any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.03(g) and any cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares

pursuant to Section 2.03(h). Parent shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Company Shares pursuant to this Article II.

(c) Termination of the Exchange Fund; No Liability. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investment thereof)

that remains undistributed one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or the Surviving Entity, upon demand by Parent. Any holders of Company Shares (other than Cancelled Shares) who have not theretofore complied with

this Article II shall thereafter be entitled to look only to Parent and the Surviving Entity for payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a), any dividends and

other distributions pursuant to Section 2.03(g) and any cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares pursuant to Section 2.03(h) upon surrender of their Certificates or exchange of their Book-Entry

Shares in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.03(b), and Parent and the Surviving Entity shall remain liable for (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law) payment of their

claims for the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of their Certificates or exchange of their Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent, the Company, the Exchange Agent

or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Company Shares or any other Person for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law. Immediately prior to such

date on which any portion of the Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any portion of the Merger Consideration (or any dividends or distributions payable to the holder thereof or cash in

lieu of fractional Parent Shares issuable to former holders of Company Shares) remaining in the Exchange Fund shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person

previously entitled thereto.

(d) Investment of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash portion

of the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or

banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds that are invested in instruments that consist of U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury

obligations or having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity that could

prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03(c), to the extent that there are losses with respect to such investment of the cash portion of the Exchange Fund, or the cash portion

of the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons, such that the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund is below the level required to make prompt cash payment of any dividends and other distributions pursuant to

Section 2.03(g) and any cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares pursuant to Section 2.03(h), Parent shall promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such

investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all applicable times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the

Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amount of the payments described in the immediately preceding sentence will be promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Entity, as requested by Parent. The Exchange Fund shall not be used

for any purpose other than as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) and this Section 2.03(d).

(e) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no

transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, acceptable (as reasonably determined by Parent) evidence of a Certificate or

Book-Entry Share is presented to the Surviving Entity, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, (i) in the case of Certificates, the holder of such Certificate shall be given a copy of the transmittal materials and instructions referred to in

a holder of Parent Shares. For purposes of this Section 2.03(h), all fractional shares to which a single record holder would be entitled shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to four (4) decimal places.

In lieu of any such fractional Parent Shares, each holder of Company Shares who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional Parent Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to the

product of (i) the amount of such fractional Parent Share and (ii) the Average Price.

Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Shares,

Company Performance Share Awards, Company Deferred Units and Company RSAs such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law, taking

into account any applicable exemption under such Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the

Surviving Entity, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (a) shall be promptly remitted by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, to the applicable

SECTION 2.06

Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, exchange or readjustment of shares, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar

transaction, the Merger Consideration and any other payments to be made pursuant to this Article II shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to provide the holders of Company Shares, Company Performance

Share Awards, Company RSAs and Company Deferred Units the same economic effect contemplated by this Agreement prior to such change; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.06 shall be construed

to permit the Company, Parent, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement; and provided, further, that any adjustment pursuant to this

Section 2.06 to any Company Performance Share Awards, Company RSAs and Company Deferred Units shall be done in all respects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, and the terms of the applicable

Reports; Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(i) Parent and its Subsidiaries have filed or furnished, as

applicable, all SEC Reports such companies were required or otherwise obligated to file with or furnish to the SEC since January 1, 2024 (such SEC Reports, the “Applicable Parent SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates of

governed by Section 4.02(f)), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if (i) a Company Intervening Event occurs and in response thereto the

Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the Company

or would reasonably be expected to be, inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Each time there is a material change to the facts or circumstances relating to the Company Intervening Event prior to obtaining the Company Requisite

Vote, the Company will be required to deliver to Parent prompt written notice of such material change (which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such material change) and the Company will provide Parent with an additional two

(ii) the Company shall lead the process, including taking the lead in all meetings and communications and developing and recommending an appropriate course of action and strategy to Parent.

(d) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this

Section 5.02, Parent and each Merger Sub shall and shall cause their Subsidiaries and Affiliates to agree to take any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all Consents

under applicable Laws that may be required in writing by any Governmental Entity (including any Regulatory Clearances), so as to enable the parties to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the

Termination Date, including committing to and effecting by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, settlement or otherwise, (i) selling, licensing, holding separate, limiting Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or otherwise

agree, commit or effect, including, if any, the steps set forth in clauses (i) – (iii), a “Remedial Action”); provided, however, that any Remedial Action shall not be required to be agreed to, committed to

or effected unless it is conditioned upon the Closing, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and Parent. At the written request of Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, agree to a Remedial Action, so long as

such Remedial Action is conditioned upon and will not be effective until Closing.

(e) In the event that any Proceeding is commenced,

threatened or is reasonably foreseeable challenging the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent, prohibit or materially impede, delay, interfere

with or hinder the consummation of such transactions, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions to avoid or resolve any such Proceeding before the Termination Date. Each of the Company, Parent and each Merger

Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest, defend and resist any such Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is

in effect and that prohibits, prevents, delays, interferes with or restricts consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Termination Date. Until the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to

the Termination Date, (i) Parent will be permitted (and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts, if requested by Parent in writing) to seek and pursue reconsideration or appeal of any federal executive order or any Order, in each case

with respect to the First Merger, from a federal Governmental Entity that imposes a material Remedial Action that was not agreed to by Parent in writing (such federal executive order or Order from a federal Governmental Entity, a “Federal

Remedial Order”), and (ii) upon written notice by Parent to the Company that it shall take the actions set forth in clause (i) of this sentence (a “Remedial Order Notice”) and for so long as Parent is

promptly and diligently pursuing such reconsideration or appeal and using its reasonable best efforts to reverse any such Federal Remedial Order as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event before the Termination Date and otherwise complying

in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.02, the condition set forth in Section 6.01(c) (solely for a Federal Remedial Order) shall not be satisfied until the earlier of

(i) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Termination Date or (ii) the date such Federal Remedial Order is reversed, withdrawn, or otherwise agreed to by Parent.

(f) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the date this Agreement

is terminated pursuant to Article VII, none of Parent, the Merger Subs or the Company shall, nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division

thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition would reasonably be expected to materially increase the risk of not obtaining, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or prohibit, or

materially impede, materially interfere with, materially hinder or materially delay obtaining, any applicable Consent under applicable Laws (including any Regulatory Clearance) with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by

this Agreement.

(g) The Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) and Parent and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) shall use

commercially reasonable efforts, and to the extent reasonably practicable, subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information and except as would be in violation of, or result in a waiver or loss of, the attorney-client privilege or

work-product doctrine: (i) promptly upon receipt thereof, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof, notify the other party of (and if in writing, furnish the other party with copies of) any material non-public communication to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parent and its Subsidiaries from any Governmental Entity related to or arising out of the Material Litigation Proceedings or the Material Regulatory

Proceedings, whether criminal or civil in nature, and permit the other party to review and discuss in advance (and consider in good faith any comments made by the other party in relation to) any proposed written response to any material

communication from any Governmental Entity related to or arising out the Material Litigation Proceedings or the Material Regulatory Proceedings, (ii) keep the other party reasonably informed of any material developments, meetings or discussions

with any Governmental Entity related to or arising out of the Material Litigation Proceedings or the Material Regulatory Proceedings, and (iii) use good faith efforts to give the other party notice (which notice shall be prior notice to the

extent providing prior notice is reasonably practical) of any material meetings or discussions relating to or arising out of the Material Litigation Proceedings or the Material Regulatory Proceedings (and consider in good faith any comments or

guidance from the other party in relation to such meeting or discussions) and, if appropriate in the Company or Parent’s reasonable judgment, provide the other party the opportunity to attend or participate in such meetings or discussions.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) Parent, the Merger Subs and their respective Subsidiaries and

Affiliates shall not be required to, (y) the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall not be required to and (z) without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be withheld at Parent’s sole discretion), the

Company shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, in each case of clauses (x), (y) or (z) in connection with obtaining any Consent or Permit, or with respect to any actions required under this

Section 5.02, offer, accept, consent to or agree to, or commit to offer, accept, consent to or agree to, any undertaking, term, condition, liability, obligation, commitment or sanction (including any Remedial Action), that

constitutes a Burdensome Condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.02, none of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall be required to offer, accept, consent to

or agree to any Remedial Action, that is not conditioned upon, and not effective until, Closing.

(i) Any filing fees payable under the HSR Act shall be borne by Parent.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company, Parent and each Merger Sub agree that the applications submitted

to the VSCC, the NCUC and the SCPSC with respect to the First Merger shall include (i) the information concerning the Mergers, the Company, Parent and each Merger Sub required by the laws of each applicable state and (ii) specific

commitments and agreements in each such application to implement the commitments and principles set forth in Section 5.16 and in Section 5.16 of Parent Disclosure Letter.

SECTION 5.03 Access and Reports; Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, upon reasonable notice, the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause

each of their respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the other party’s Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its employees, properties, books, contracts and

records. During such period, the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to the other party (i) to the extent not publicly available, a copy of each material report, material

schedule, registration statement and other material document (A) filed by it during such period pursuant to applicable securities Law or (B) filed with, furnished to or sent to the SEC, the FERC, the FCC, the NRC, the SCPSC, the NCUC, the

VSCC or any other federal or state regulatory agency or commission and (ii) all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested by the other party; provided, however, that no

investigation pursuant to this Section 5.03(a) shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made herein; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not require the Company and

Parent to (A) permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of such party, would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its obligations to a third party with

respect to confidentiality if the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure, (B) disclose any privileged information of such

party or any of its Subsidiaries, (C) permit any invasive environmental testing or sampling at any property or (D) take or allow any action that would unreasonably interfere with such party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’

Section 5.03 of the Parent Disclosure Letter (for requests to Parent), as applicable, in each case as may be updated by the Company or Parent from time to time or such other Person designated by the Company or Parent, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries, the access to and exchange of information described in this Section 5.03(a) shall be limited to the extent reasonably necessary or related to the

consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each of the Company, Parent and the Merger Subs will comply with the terms and

conditions of that certain letter agreement, dated November 4, 2025, between Parent and the Company (as may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and will hold and treat, and will cause their

respective Representatives to hold and treat, in confidence all documents and information exchanged pursuant to Section 5.03(a) in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain

in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 5.04 Stock Exchange Delisting and

Listing.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take or

cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law and rules and policies of the NYSE to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Company

Shares from the NYSE and the deregistration of the Company Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) If the Surviving Corporation may be required to file any quarterly or annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act by a filing deadline that

the Company will deliver to Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a substantially final draft of any such annual or quarterly report, and, subject to Parent’s prior review and comment, which comments, if any,

the Company shall consider reasonably and in good faith, the Company will file, or cause to be filed, such annual or quarterly report, as applicable, prior to the Closing Date. Any such report, when filed, will (i) not contain any untrue

statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) comply in all

material respects with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the listing and corporate governance rules

SECTION 5.05 Publicity. The initial news release regarding the Mergers shall be a joint news release

reasonably agreed between Parent and the Company and, except with respect to any action taken pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 7.01, thereafter the Company and Parent each shall consult with

each other prior to issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any news releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as

such party may reasonably conclude may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or as may be requested by any Governmental Entity,

provided, that, without the prior written consent of the other party, no party shall make or publish any material new news releases or material new public announcements with respect to the matters set forth on Section 5.05 of the Company

Disclosure

Letter or with respect to the Mergers or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y) of this proviso such party reasonably concludes

that such news release or public announcement may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or as may be requested by any Governmental

Entity (subject to reasonable opportunity for prior review and comment by the other party).

SECTION 5.06

Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time and until the eighteen-month anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent

shall not terminate the employment of the individuals who are employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time (the “Company Employees”) other than (x) for cause or (y) a Company

Employee’s material failure to satisfactorily perform such Company Employee’s assigned duties (provided that such duties are substantially similar to the duties assigned to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective

Time or, if not substantially similar, such duties are commensurate with such Company Employee’s education, skills and experience), in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), as reasonably determined by Parent on an

individualized basis in good faith; provided, that, any determination pursuant to clause (y) shall be made in a manner consistent with Parent’s then-effective performance management practices applicable to similarly situated

employees of Parent. Following the Effective Time and until the two-year anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the date of termination of the Company

Non-Union Employee) (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide, the Company Employees who are not covered by any collective bargaining

agreement (the “Company Non-Union Employees”) with (i) annual base salary or wage rate, as applicable, no less than the annual base salary or wage rate, as applicable, provided to such Company Non-Union Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) annual target cash incentive opportunities and long-term target incentive award opportunities, each that are no less

favorable, than such opportunities provided to such Company Non-Union Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the satisfaction of performance criteria determined by Parent (consistent

with the form and terms and conditions of such awards provided to other similarly situated employees of Parent) and other terms and conditions of Parent’s annual incentive program or long-term incentive plan or award agreement thereunder, as

applicable, (iii) employment within a 50-mile radius from each such Company Non-Union Employee’s location of employment immediately prior to the Effective

Time (provided that this clause (iii) shall only apply until the eighteen-month anniversary of the Effective Time and not for the entire Continuation Period), (iv) severance benefits that are no less favorable than those set forth

in Section 5.06(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (v) other employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the other employee benefits (excluding change of control, transaction, retention, extraordinary bonus

or other one-time awards) provided to such Company Non-Union Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Agreement, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide, the Company Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with terms and conditions of employment in accordance with the terms of such collective

bargaining agreement until the expiration, modification, or termination of such collective bargaining agreement in accordance with its terms or applicable Law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.06(a) but subject

to the obligations set forth in Section 5.06(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, assume, honor and continue during the Continuation Period (or, if later, until all

obligations thereunder have been satisfied) all of the Company’s employment, severance, retention, termination, deferred compensation, and change in control plans, policies, programs, agreements and arrangements maintained by the Company or

any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect at the Effective Time, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in

combination with any other event), and none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity may amend, modify or terminate any such plan, policy, program, agreement or arrangement unless and solely to the extent permitted under the

terms thereof as in effect at the Effective Time or otherwise as required to comply with applicable Law. In addition, to the extent required by the express terms of any Company Benefit Plan, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to,

expressly assume and agree to perform all obligations under and with respect to the terms of each such Company Benefit Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, maintain

without amendment (other than as required to comply with applicable Law) for the duration of the Continuation Period each of the Company Benefit Plans listed on Section 5.06(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. For avoidance of doubt, Parent

shall assume, honor and continue the Company’s change in control plans in accordance with the foregoing solely with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this

Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event), and shall not be obligated to provide any additional payments, benefits or rights under such plans in connection with any subsequent change in control of Parent or the Surviving Entity

that may occur after the Mergers.

(d) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, pay to each Company Non-Union Employee

who (i) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, is eligible under a Company Benefit Plan for an annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Effective Time occurs and (ii) remains employed through the applicable payment date, an

annual bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the Effective Time occurs, payable at the time annual bonuses are normally paid by Parent and based on the level of attainment of the applicable performance goals for such fiscal year under the

applicable Company Benefit Plan; provided that, if the level of attainment for the applicable performance goals under Parent’s annual bonus plan (the “Parent Bonus Goals”) for such fiscal year would result in a larger

payout, then the portion of the annual bonus for the period from the day immediately following the Closing Date to the end of the fiscal year shall be calculated based on the level of attainment for the Parent Bonus Goals.

(e) With respect to all plans maintained by Parent, the Surviving Entity or their respective Subsidiaries in which the Company Employees are

eligible to participate after the Closing Date (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans) for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits and vesting (but

not benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan or for purposes of retiree medical or welfare benefits), each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer

of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the

predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Commonly

Controlled Entity, in each case, to the extent such service would have been recognized by the Company or its Subsidiaries under analogous Company Benefit Plans prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that such service need

not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service; and, provided further, that no Company Employee shall be entitled based on such prior credited service or otherwise to

participate in any frozen or grandfathered plan or benefit formula of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would not be offered to employees first hired by Parent or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time.

(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.06(a), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, waive

any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare

benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries in which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not

have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in the case of an insured plan, such waivers shall be made only to the extent the insurer consents thereto, and

Parent and the Surviving Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, recognize the dollar amount of

all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses paid by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year or plan year in which the Effective Time occurs for

purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective

Time; provided, however, that in the case of an insured plan, such amounts shall be taken into account only to the extent the insurer consents thereto, and Parent and the Surviving Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such

consent.

(g) The provisions of this Section 5.06 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement,

and no other Person (including any current or former employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.06,

and no provision of this Section 5.06 shall create such rights in any such Persons. Except as set forth in Section 5.06(b), no provision of this Agreement shall be construed (i) as a guarantee

of continued employment of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) to prohibit Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Entity) from having the right to terminate the employment of any such employee, (iii) to

require Parent or its Subsidiaries to continue to pay or provide any such employee any compensation or benefits after such termination of employment, other than any severance benefits that may be provided pursuant to

Section 5.06(a)(iv), (iv) to limit the ability of Parent or its Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of

Parent or its Subsidiaries or (v) as an establishment, termination, amendment or modification of any Company Benefit Plan or other benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of Parent or its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.07 Expenses. Except as set forth in

Section 5.02(i) or Section 5.09(c), whether or not the Mergers are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Mergers and the other transactions

contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

SECTION 5.08

Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, each

present and former director, officer, employee, agent, advisor or representative of the Company and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and

all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred in connection with any Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,

arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall advance

expenses to each Indemnified Party claiming indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.08 as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party

provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to such indemnification.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity to honor the provisions regarding

(i) exculpation of directors, (ii) limitation of liability of directors and officers, (iii) advancement of expenses and (iv) indemnification, in each case, contained in the Company Organizational Documents (as in effect as of the

date hereof), the comparable organizational documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (as in effect as of the date hereof) or any indemnification Contract set forth in Section 5.08(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter between the

applicable Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries existing immediately prior to the Effective Time. For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving

Entity and its Subsidiaries not to amend, replace or otherwise modify the provisions regarding (A) exculpation of directors, (B) limitation of liability of directors and officers, (C) advancement of expenses and

(D) indemnification, in each case, contained in their respective organizational documents; provided, however, that such six (6) year period shall be extended for so long as any Proceeding is pending or asserted

against an Indemnified Party that implicates the rights set forth in the foregoing clauses (A) through (D); provided, further, that such prohibition on amendments, replacements and other modifications

shall not apply to amendments, replacements and other modifications that are prospective in their application and exclude any effect on the Indemnified Parties.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity to maintain for a period of at

least six (6) years following the Effective Time directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) from an insurance carrier with the same

or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with benefits, levels of coverage and terms and conditions at least as favorable as the Company’s D&O Insurance existing immediately prior to

the Effective Time with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including for acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the

Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Surviving Entity be required to expend for such D&O Insurance coverage an annual

premium amount greater than three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate amount of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for D&O Insurance immediately prior to the date hereof (such maximum amount, the “Maximum Annual

Premium”). If the annual premiums of such D&O Insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity shall obtain a policy with as much coverage as reasonably available for an

annual cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 5.08(c), the Company may, or

at the direction of Parent shall, obtain, prior to the Effective Time, six (6) year pre-paid “tail” insurance coverage, at an aggregate cost no greater than the Maximum Annual Premium,

providing for D&O Insurance not materially less favorable than that described in Section 5.08(c). If the Company has obtained such policy pursuant to this Section 5.08(d), Parent will cause

such policy to be maintained in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity, and Parent will have no further obligation to purchase or pay for

insurance pursuant to Section 5.08(c).

(e) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any of

their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates or merges with or into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its

properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made by Parent so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall assume and comply with

all of the obligations applicable to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, respectively, set forth in this Section 5.08.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.08 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by,

each of the Indemnified Parties who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 5.08. The obligations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity in this

Section 5.08 may not be terminated or modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party. Parent will honor, guaranty and stand as surety for, and

will cause the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries and successors to honor and comply with, the covenants contained in this Section 5.08.

(g) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 5.08 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any

rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Company Organizational Documents or any of the comparable organizational documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Law.

SECTION 5.09 Financing.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide commercially reasonable assistance with the preparation of rating

agency presentations and lender, underwriter and initial purchaser presentations, offering memoranda and prospectuses and any discussions regarding the business, financial statements, and management discussion and analysis of the Company and its

Subsidiaries, all for use in connection with the financing activities of Parent, including any registration statement filed with the SEC where Parent determines that the inclusion of such information is required or desirable, (ii) request that

its independent accountants provide customary and reasonable assistance to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, in connection with providing customary comfort letters in connection with the financing activities of Parent, and

(iii) if requested by Parent in writing and at Parent’s expense, commence and conduct consent solicitations with respect to notes outstanding under the Notes Indebtedness regarding certain proposed amendments related to Company’s

and its Subsidiaries’ reporting obligations under the applicable instrument or agreement governing such Notes Indebtedness or otherwise seek or obtain such proposed amendments (the “Consent Solicitations”);

provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company to cause the delivery of (A) legal opinions or reliance letters or any certificate as to solvency or any other certificate necessary for such

financing activities, other than as allowed by the preceding clauses (ii) and (iii), (B) any audited financial information or any financial information prepared in accordance with

Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any financial information in a form not customarily prepared by the Company with respect to any

period or (C) any financial information with respect to a month or fiscal period that has not yet ended or has ended less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of such request. Any Consent Solicitation shall be made on such terms and

conditions, including applicable amendments sought, consent fees, pricing terms and timing, as reasonably specified by Parent in consultation with the Company. Subject to the receipt of any requisite consents, the Company and/or any of its

Subsidiaries shall execute a supplemental indenture, amendment or other supplemental documentation to the applicable instrument or agreement governing such Notes Indebtedness as described in the applicable documents related to the Consent

Solicitation, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to the cause any trustee, collateral agent or any other requisite third-party (if any) to execute the same.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 5.09): (i) nothing in this

Agreement (including this Section 5.09) shall require any such cooperation or actions set forth in this Section 5.09 to the extent that it would require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective

Affiliates or Representatives to (A) pay any commitment or other fees, reimburse any expenses or otherwise incur any liabilities or give any indemnities prior to the Effective Time, (B) provide any cooperation that would unreasonably

interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, (C) other than solely to the extent required by the Consent Solicitations as expressly

contemplated by Section 5.09(a), enter into or approve any agreement or other documentation effective prior to the Effective Time or agree to any change or modification of any existing agreement or other documentation that would be

effective prior to the Effective Time, (D) require the Company to provide pro forma financial statements or pro forma adjustments reflecting the financing activities of Parent or any description of all or any

component of such financing activities (it being understood that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to assist in preparation of pro forma financial adjustments to the extent otherwise relating to the Company and required

by the financing activities of Parent), (E) require the Company or the Subsidiaries of the Company to provide pro forma financial statements or pro forma adjustments reflecting transactions contemplated or required

hereunder (it being understood that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in preparation of pro

be, or (b) that would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that

(i) no such notification will operate as a waiver of or otherwise affect the representations, warranties or covenants of the parties hereto or the conditions to the obligations of the

parties hereto under this Agreement, (ii) the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.18 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available under this Agreement to the party receiving such notice and

SECTION 5.19 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Each of the parties hereto shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Mergers,

taken together, to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. None of the parties hereto shall (and each of the parties hereto shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to) take any action (or fail to take any action) if taking (or failing to take)

such action could reasonably be expected to cause the Mergers, taken together, to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment; provided that if any party hereto (or its respective Affiliates) is required to take such an action or not take

such an action pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to cause the Mergers, taken together, to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, it shall notify the other parties, and the

parties hereto shall consider in good faith the effect of such action or inaction on the Intended Tax Treatment, and the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to pursue an alternative action or inaction that would satisfy the applicable

provision of this Agreement without adversely affecting the qualification of the Mergers, taken together, for the Intended Tax Treatment. The parties hereto shall consider in good faith such amendments to this Agreement as may be reasonably required

to cause the Mergers, taken together, to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

best efforts to obtain the Tax opinions to be attached as exhibits to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4, including by (i) delivering to Parent Tax Counsel and Company Tax Counsel,

prior to the filing of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4, Tax representation letters in substantially the forms set forth in Section 5.19(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter

and Section 5.19(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, respectively, and (ii) delivering to Parent Tax Counsel and Company Tax Counsel, dated and executed as of the Closing Date, Tax representation letters in substantially the forms set

forth in Section 5.19(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and Section 5.19(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, respectively. Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts not to, and not permit any of its Affiliates to,

take or cause to be taken any action that would cause to be untrue (or fail to take or cause not to be taken any action which inaction would cause to be untrue) any of the representations, warranties and covenants made to counsel in the Tax

representation letters described in this Section 5.19(b).

any time before the Effective Time, Parent becomes aware of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(d) The Company shall promptly notify Parent if, at any time before the Effective Time, the Company becomes aware of any fact or circumstance

that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). The parties hereto shall treat the

Mergers, taken together, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for United States federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes. Each party hereto shall comply with the recordkeeping and information

reporting requirements imposed on it, including, if applicable, but not limited to those set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3. Each party hereto shall report the Mergers, taken together, in a

manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313 of the Code.

SECTION 5.20 Dividends. After the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall coordinate with

the other regarding the declaration of any dividends in respect of Parent Shares and Company Shares and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention that holders of Parent Shares and Company Shares shall not receive

two (2) dividends or fail to receive one (1) dividend in any quarter with respect to their Parent Shares or Company Shares (and any Parent Shares that the former holders of Company Shares receive in exchange therefor in the First Merger).

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.20 is intended to require the declaration or payment of dividends by Parent or the Company.

SECTION 5.21 Redemption of Series C Preferred and DERI Notes.

(a) The Company shall take the actions set forth on Section 5.21(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. If the

Effective Time has not occurred on or before January 15, 2027, the Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred on the terms set forth on

(c) Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company or its designee a non-refundable fee of Four Billion Eight Hundred Thirty Million Dollars ($4,830,000,000.00) (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”) if:

forth in Section 6.02 (Additional Conditions to Obligations of Parent and the Merger Subs) shall have been satisfied or waived (except for any such conditions (x) whose failure to be satisfied relates to a

failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(b) (Orders), Section 6.01(c) (Regulatory Clearances) or Section 6.01(d) (Absence of

Burdensome Condition), or (y) that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but, in the case of this clause (y), are capable of being satisfied and would be satisfied at the Closing if the Closing were to occur at the

time of such termination);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to

Section 7.01(b)(iii) (Permanent Order) (other than due to any Excluded Order) and, at the time of any such termination, the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(a) (Shareholder

Approvals) (solely if the Company Shareholders Meeting and the Parent Shareholders Meeting shall have occurred) and Section 6.02 (Additional Conditions to Obligations of Parent and the Merger Subs) shall have

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(ii) (Parent

Breach) due to a material breach by Parent or either of the Merger Subs of its respective obligations under Section 5.02 (Filings; Other Actions; Notification) and at the time of any such termination a condition

the Closing, but are capable of being satisfied and would be satisfied at the Closing if the Closing were to occur at such time) at the time Parent delivers a Remedial Order Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 5.02(e)

or any time thereafter, and (C) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company other than a termination by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(ii).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated

by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) (Termination Date) and, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of any such termination (i) Parent has irrevocably waived in

writing the condition set forth in Section 6.01(d) (Absence of Burdensome Condition), (ii) all of the other conditions set forth in Section 6.01 (Conditions to Each Party’s

Obligations) and Section 6.03 (Additional Conditions to Obligations of Company) shall have been satisfied or waived (except for any such conditions that by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing,

but, are capable of being satisfied and would be satisfied at the Closing if the Closing were to occur at the time of such termination), (iii) Parent shall have delivered to the Company written notice that it stands ready, willing and able to

consummate the Closing and (iv) the Company has not waived the condition set forth in Section 6.01(d) (Absence of Burdensome Condition), by the effective date of such termination, then Parent shall not be

obligated to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee.

If the Regulatory Termination Fee becomes due pursuant to this

Section 7.02(c), Parent shall pay the Company or its designee the Regulatory Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days of the date of termination of this Agreement.

period immediately following such termination, (1) Parent enters into a Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement or (2) a Parent Acquisition Proposal is consummated; or

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(iii) (Parent

Adverse Recommendation Change).

If the Parent Termination Fee becomes due pursuant to this Section 7.02(d), Parent shall

pay the Company or its designee such Parent Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds (x) in the case of a payment required by Section 7.02(d)(i), on the date of termination of this Agreement, (y) in

the case of a payment required by Section 7.02(d)(ii), within three (3) Business Days after the earlier of the time when a Parent Acquisition Proposal is consummated or a Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement is executed and

(z) in the case of a payment required by Section 7.02(d)(iii), within three (3) Business Days of the date of termination of this Agreement; it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay both the Parent

Termination Fee and the Regulatory Termination Fee, or either of the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee on more than one occasion. The Company shall provide to Parent notice designating an account for purposes of payment of the

Parent Termination Fee within forty-eight (48) hours of a request by Parent to provide such information. For purposes of Section 7.02(d)(ii), the term “Parent Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning

assigned to such term in Exhibit A, except that all references to 20% therein shall be deemed to be references to 50%.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Company is required to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.02(b) and such Company

Termination Fee is paid, the payment of the Company Termination Fee shall be Parent’s and each Merger Sub’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Company and its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders and Representatives, relating

to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement entered into in connection herewith or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or thereby, except for Willful Breach or fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

in this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which Parent is required to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.02(c), or the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to

Section 7.02(d) and either the Regulatory Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee is paid, the payment of such fee shall be the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy against Parent, the Merger Subs and their

respective Affiliates, and their respective shareholders and Representatives, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement entered into in connection herewith or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or

thereby, except for Willful Breach or fraud.

(f) Each party hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in

Section 7.02(b), Section 7.02(c) and Section 7.02(d) are an integral part of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these

agreements, such party would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the applicable party fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to Section 7.02(b), Section 7.02(c) or

Section 7.02(d), such party shall also pay any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the other party (including

reasonable legal fees and expenses) in connection with a Proceeding to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against the party failing to promptly pay such amount. Any amount not paid when due pursuant to

Section 7.02(b), Section 7.02(c) or Section 7.02(d) shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate as published

in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, plus one percent (1%) in effect on the date of such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and the Company agree that each of the Company Termination Fee, the

Parent Termination Fee and the Regulatory Termination Fee constitute liquidated damages that will compensate Parent or the

Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on

this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement

does not confer upon either Parent or the Company “a right or obligation with respect to” the Company Shares within the meaning of Section 1234A of the Code.

Exhibit A.

SECTION 8.07 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section or an Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or a Section of,

or an Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(b) Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be

deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole

and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other

thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. Whenever this Agreement contemplates any notice to, notification of, furnishing of information to, consent or waiver by or cooperation with, any “party” or

“parties” hereto, Parent and each Merger Sub shall be treated as one party, such that no separate notification of, furnishing of information to, consent or waiver by, or cooperation with both Parent and each Merger Sub shall be required.

(c) When a reference is made in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter to information or documents

being “provided”, “made available” or “disclosed” by a party hereto to another party, such information or documents shall include any information or documents (i) included in the SEC Reports of such

disclosing party which are publicly available at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date of this Agreement, (ii) furnished prior to the execution of this Agreement in the electronic “data room” maintained by such

disclosing party and to which access has been granted to the other party and its Representatives at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date of this Agreement, or (iii) otherwise provided in writing (including electronically) to the

other party or any of its Representatives at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) The definitions

contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term.

(e) Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement,

instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes, and all attachments

thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

(f) References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and permitted assigns.

(g) Where this Agreement states that a party “shall”, “will” or “must” perform in some manner, it means

that the party is legally obligated to do so under this Agreement.

(h) When calculating the period of time before which, within which or

following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, (i) the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and (ii) if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period

in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

(i) Unless otherwise specifically indicated, any reference herein to $ means

U.S. dollars.

(j) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or

question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision

of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more

counterparts (including by facsimile or by attachment to electronic mail in portable document format (PDF)), and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original but all of which taken

together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 8.09 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit

of the parties hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) after

the Effective Time, with respect to the provisions of Section 5.08 which shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof, (b) after the Effective Time, the

rights of the holders of Company Shares to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (c) after the Effective Time, the rights of the holders of Company Performance Share Awards, Company

Deferred Units, Company RSAs and Company Deferred Units to receive the payments contemplated by the applicable provisions of Section 2.02, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The

representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of such parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties

hereto in accordance with Section 8.03 without notice or liability

to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters

regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date

of this Agreement or as of any other date.

SECTION 8.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be

governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal Laws and judicial decisions of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State, regardless of the Law that might otherwise govern under

applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof, except that (a) matters related to the obligations of the Company Board under the VSCA and matters that are specifically required by the VSCA in connection with the Mergers and the other

transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and (b) matters related to the obligations of the Parent Board under the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”) and

matters that are specifically required by the FBCA in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

SECTION 8.11 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement (including Exhibits hereto, the Company

Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and

undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of

law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Agreement is and shall be null and void. Subject to the immediately preceding two

sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 8.12 Specific Enforcement; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would

occur in the event that any of the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by

this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to

prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that it will

not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (A) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (B) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate

remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any party hereto seeking an Order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in

connection with any such Order.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) submits itself to the personal

jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any appellate court therefrom, in connection with any claim or matter directly or indirectly based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Mergers and the

other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of Parent, the Merger Subs or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat

such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in

any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and (iv) agrees that the service of any process, summons, notice or document through the notice procedures set forth in Section 8.05 or by U.S.

registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 8.05 shall be effective service of process for any Proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this

Agreement. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, any claim that (A) it is not personally subject to

the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 8.12(b), (B) it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court

or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), (C) the Proceeding in any such court is brought in

an inconvenient forum, (D) the venue of such Proceeding is improper, or (E) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Furthermore, each of the Company, Parent and the Merger Subs irrevocably

waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court

having jurisdiction. Each party hereto expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under the Laws of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America; provided, however, that each such

party’s consent to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 8.12 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 8.12 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or to

courts in the State of Delaware other than for such purpose.

SECTION 8.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO

ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW

ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY

THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, THE MERGER SUBS OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY

HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF

LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER

THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.13.

SECTION 8.14

Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of

this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement

so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 8.15 Transfer Taxes. Except as provided in Section 2.03(b)(iv), all

transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Mergers shall be paid by Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity when due.

SECTION 8.16 Disclosure Letters. Certain items and matters are listed in the Company Disclosure Letter

and the Parent Disclosure Letter for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the listing of items or matters in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure

Letter be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. No reference to, or disclosure of, any item or matter in any section of this

Agreement or any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or matter is material or that such item or matter is required to be referred to

or disclosed in this Agreement or in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, no reference to, or disclosure of, a possible breach or violation of any Contract or Law in the

Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. Each section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent

Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, shall be deemed to qualify the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not any particular section or subsection of this Agreement specifically refers to the Company

Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter, as the case may be.

DEFINITIONS

(a) The

following terms have the following meanings:

“Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality

agreement with the Company having customary provisions that are not materially less favorable to the Company and not materially less restrictive on the Company’s counterparty than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (but, for the

avoidance of doubt, such confidentiality agreement need not contain a “standstill” or similar obligation).

“Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement with Parent having customary provisions

that are not materially less favorable to Parent and not materially less restrictive on Parent’s counterparty than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such confidentiality agreement need not

contain a “standstill” or similar obligation).

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other

Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such first Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition or this Agreement, XPLR

decimal places, of Parent Shares for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on and including the second (2nd) trading day prior to the Effective Time.

“Burdensome Condition” means any undertakings, terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions or other

measures (including any Remedial Action) that, individually or in the aggregate, would have or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, assets, liabilities or results of operations of the

Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that, for this purpose, Parent and its Subsidiaries, both before and after giving effect to the

First Merger, shall be deemed to be a consolidated group of entities of the size and scale of a hypothetical company that is 100% of the size and scale of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole as of immediately prior to the Effective

Time; provided, further, that any undertakings, terms, conditions, liabilities, obligations, commitments, sanctions and other measures set forth in Section 5.16 and in Part A of Section 5.16 of the Parent

Disclosure Letter shall not constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, is or would reasonably expected to be, a Burdensome Condition.

•

The combined company will benefit from the industry’s most diversified growth platform, driving 9%+

adjusted earnings per share growth expectations through 2032

JUNO BEACH, Fla. and RICHMOND, Va., May 18, 2026 — NextEra

Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) and Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE: D) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock transaction.

Dominion Energy shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.8138 shares of NextEra Energy for each share of Dominion Energy they own at the close of

the transaction, resulting in NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy shareholders owning approximately 74.5% and 25.5% of the combined company, respectively.

The combination will create the world’s largest regulated electric utility business, fortified by

North America’s premier energy infrastructure platform and developer. The combined company will be more than 80% regulated, serve approximately 10 million utility customer accounts across Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and South

Carolina and own 110 gigawatts (GW) of generation across a broad mix of energy sources. The combined company will drive affordability in the long term by leveraging scale and operating and capital efficiencies as the company makes smart investments

on behalf of its customers to meet growing power demand. Additionally, the combined company is proposing $2.25 billion in bill credits for Dominion Energy’s customers in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina spread over two years

post-close.

With growth drivers evenly balanced between regulated and long-term contracted businesses and more than 130 GW of large-load opportunities in

its pipeline, the combined company will have a broader opportunity set, more ways to grow and the scale, balance sheet and best-in-class operating, supply chain,

construction and technology capabilities to deliver the generation, transmission and grid investments needed to serve customers, support economic growth and cost-effectively meet surging power demand while keeping bills affordable.

The transaction is structured as a 100% stock-for-stock transaction and is

expected to be tax-free to shareholders. The combined company will operate under the NextEra Energy name and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NEE. It will have a significant local

presence, with dual headquarters in Juno Beach, Florida, and Richmond, Virginia, and Dominion Energy South Carolina’s existing operational headquarters in Cayce, South Carolina. Dominion Energy’s utility companies will continue to

operate as Dominion Energy Virginia, Dominion Energy North Carolina and Dominion Energy South Carolina. John Ketchum will serve as chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of the combined company, and Robert Blue will serve as president and CEO of

regulated utilities and as a member of the board of directors. Edward Baine will be president and CEO of Dominion Energy Virginia, Keller Kissam will be president and CEO of Dominion Energy South Carolina and Scott Bores will be president and CEO of

Florida Power & Light Company.

A word from John Ketchum, chairman, president and CEO of NextEra Energy:

“This is a historic moment for our two companies and for the states we are privileged to serve. Electricity demand is rising faster than it has in

decades. Projects are getting larger and more complex. Customers need affordable and reliable power now, not years from now. We are bringing NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy together because scale matters more than ever— not for the sake of

size, but because scale translates into capital and operating efficiencies. It enables us to buy, build, finance and operate more efficiently, which translates into more affordable electricity for our customers in the long run.

“The Dominion Energy name isn’t changing, nor is how we operate locally, serve our customers or engage with the community. The same leaders and

the same teams customers know and trust will continue serving Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Both companies put our customers and teams first, as well as the communities we serve.

“By uniting two industry leaders with 238 years of collective experience, this combination creates a stronger company for customers and a stronger

long-term value proposition for shareholders. Customers will benefit from $2.25 billion in bill credits and over time from the scale, operating and capital efficiencies this combination unlocks. They will also benefit from the shared expertise

and best practices of America’s leading regulated utilities, laser-focused on low customer bills, customer service, storm resiliency and reliability, making the customer experience seamless in the near term and best in class over time.

Shareholders will benefit from a broader regulated growth runway, a larger opportunity set and a more diversified platform. This is a unique situation where we believe one plus one equals three. We are confident that our customers, the communities

we serve, our shareholders and our industry-leading teams will all benefit from this combination.”

A word from Robert Blue, chair, president and CEO of Dominion Energy:

“Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy share a deep commitment to delivering reliable and affordable energy and to the customers and communities we are

honored to serve. This combination brings together two strong operating platforms and creates an even stronger energy partner for Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida, with the scale and balance sheet to deliver the generation,

transmission and grid investments our customers and economies need.

“Most importantly, this combination is built around our customers. The bill

credits we are committing to, the continued investments in generation, reliability and storm resiliency and our commitments to retain our team and dual headquarters in Juno Beach and Richmond, as well as Dominion Energy South Carolina’s

existing operational headquarters in Cayce, reflect the values that have always defined Dominion Energy. We are excited to bring these great companies together and to write the next chapter in every community we serve.”

Strategic rationale

The combination brings together two

complementary industry-leading companies and four high-quality regulated platforms that have virtually no operational overlap, creating an even stronger customer value proposition, a broader growth platform and a larger, more diversified opportunity

set for shareholders.

accounts across four high-growth states with constructive regulatory environments and diversified growth coming from every sector

•

current compensation and benefits

•

Enhanced capability to invest in reliability, resiliency and storm response by leveraging the combined

Shareholder benefits

regulated growth runway, more ways to deploy capital and greater access to large-load and infrastructure opportunities

Energy and upgraded ratings at Dominion Energy and Dominion Energy Virginia, which are expected to lower financing costs over time

•

ratio below 55% by 2030. In addition, Dominion Energy shareholders to continue to receive Dominion’s current quarterly dividend through close plus a one-time cash payment of $360 million at close
