Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 18, 2026, on May 15, 2026, NextEra Energy, Inc., a Florida corporation (NEE), WG Development Corp., a Virginia corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (Merger Sub Corp), CS Holdco, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (LLC Sub), and Dominion Energy, Inc., a Virginia corporation (Dominion Energy), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub Corp will merge with and into Dominion Energy, with Dominion Energy as the surviving corporation (the Surviving Corporation) and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (the First Merger), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into LLC Sub, with LLC Sub as the surviving entity (the Surviving Entity) and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Mergers). The First Merger will become effective at the time the Clerk of the Virginia State Corporation Commission issues a certificate of merger with respect to the articles of merger pertaining to the First Merger or at such later time as may be agreed by NEE and Dominion Energy in writing and specified in such articles of merger. Consummation of the First Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. If consummation of the First Merger takes place, the acquisition will be required to be described in Item 2.01 of a Current Report on Form 8-K. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to file (a) the Financial Information (as defined below) and (b) the consent of the independent registered public accounting firm of Dominion Energy included as Exhibit 23 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the Consent), and to allow such Financial Information and Consent to be incorporated by reference into NEE's registration statements identified in the Consent and previously filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including, among other things, statements regarding the proposed business combination transaction between NEE 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 transaction and other aspects of NEE’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, NEE 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 NEE’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 NEE 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 NEE and in the financial results of NEE 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 NEE’s and Dominion Energy’s respective periodic reports and other filings with the SEC, including the risk factors contained in NEE’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 Current Report on Form 8-K 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 NEE 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.
