01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed August 11, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This 8-K, filed August 11, 2026, supplements NextEra Energy's (NEE) May 15, 2026 merger agreement to acquire Dominion Energy (D) through a two-step merger, in which Dominion becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of NEE.
Each Dominion common share will receive 0.8138 NEE shares plus a pro rata share of $360 milliona in aggregate cash. Based on NEE's $87.93 closing price on July 30, 2026, the estimated total consideration is about $65.2 billion, including roughly 738 million new NEE shares. The filing itself is primarily a vehicle to file Dominion's June 30, 2026 10-Q financials (Exhibit 99.1) and NEE's unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (Exhibit 99.2) so they can be incorporated into NEE's existing registration statements.
The deal has not closed and remains subject to shareholder approvals from both companies, HSR clearance, and approvals from FERC, the NRC, the Virginia SCC, the North Carolina Utilities Commission, and the South Carolina PSC. The pro forma statements illustrate a large increase in scale. Combined six-month 2026 operating revenue would be about $23.2 billionb versus NEE's historical $14.2 billion, and pro forma total assets would be about $391 billion.
Pro forma net income attributable to NEE is $5.9 billionc for the first half of 2026 and $9.0 billion for fiscal 2025. Pro forma basic EPS is $2.08 for the first half of 2026 (versus NEE's historical $2.56) and $3.19 for 2025 (versus $3.31). The EPS decline reflects the roughly 738 million new shares, the purchase accounting effects, and the $2.25 billion customer bill credit, which reduces revenue by $563 million in the six-month period and $1.125 billion in 2025 on a pro forma basis.
The purchase price allocation is preliminary. Estimated goodwill is about $40.1 billiond, and the filing notes that a 10% change in NEE's share price would move estimated consideration by roughly $6.5 billion, with an equal and opposite effect on goodwill.
Total estimated merger-related transaction costs are about $500 million, of which $250 million is expected to be paid at closing. The filing explicitly cautions that the pro forma figures are illustrative, based on preliminary estimates, and not indicative of future results.
