The acquisitions are the Freedom Energy Center, a 1,045 MW natural gas fired combined cycle plant in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and the Guernsey Power Station, a 1,836 MW natural gas fired combined cycle plant in Guernsey County, Ohio. The notes include a special mandatory redemption feature.

If the acquisitions are not completed by the Outside Date (July 17, 2026, or January 17, 2027 if automatically extended) or if a purchase agreement is terminated or the company determines a deal will not close, the company must redeem specified amounts within 30 days at 100% of the issue price plus accrued interest. Redemption amounts are $625.0 millionc (2034 Notes) and $575.0 million (2036 Notes) if the Freedom Acquisition is the triggering event, $900.0 million and $790.0 million if the Guernsey Acquisition is the triggering event, and all outstanding notes if both acquisitions are affected.
