What is the primary purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to report the effectiveness of NextEra Energy's four-for-one stock split and to provide updated information on how this split, along with other anti-dilution adjustments, affects the settlement rates of its outstanding Corporate Units.

How does the stock split affect the Corporate Units I hold?

The stock split adjusts the number of NextEra Energy shares you will receive when your stock purchase contract within the Corporate Unit is settled. The specific number of shares per unit will be determined based on the prevailing market value of NEE common stock at the time of settlement, adjusted to account for the four-for-one split and other anti-dilution provisions.

When do the stock purchase contracts within the Corporate Units need to be settled?

The settlement dates vary by issuance: the 4.872% Corporate Units must be settled by September 1, 2022; the 5.279% Corporate Units by March 1, 2023; and the 6.219% Corporate Units by September 1, 2023.

Are there any changes to the underlying debentures associated with the Corporate Units?

This filing indicates that the beneficial ownership interest in the debentures remains, and the adjustments primarily relate to the stock purchase contract component to reflect the stock split. The terms of the debentures themselves are not stated to be amended in this filing, though the settlement rates of the Corporate Units are adjusted.
