Why did Talen file this amendment to its November 2025 Form 8-K?

The filing states that Amendment No. 2 was filed solely to amend Item 9.01 to include pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the Company's filing of a registration statement on Form S-3. All other disclosures in the original report remain unchanged.

What assets did Talen acquire and what did they cost?

Talen acquired the Freedom Energy Center, a 1,045 MW (summer rating) natural gas-fired combined cycle plant in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and the Guernsey Power Station, a 1,836 MW (summer rating) natural gas-fired combined cycle plant in Guernsey County, Ohio. The aggregate purchase price was $3.8 billion, as adjusted under the purchase agreements.

How does the pro forma 2025 result compare with Talen's historical results?

Pro forma operating revenues are $3,346 million versus $2,581 million historically. Pro forma operating income is $212 million versus an historical operating loss of $(90) million. Pro forma net loss attributable to stockholders is $(146) million, or $(3.20) per share, versus $(219) million, or $(4.79) per share, historically. The filing states the pro forma information is illustrative and does not represent what results would have been had the acquisitions occurred on the stated dates.

How were the acquisitions financed?

The acquisitions were funded with $1.4 billion of unsecured notes due 2034 and $1.3 billion of unsecured notes due 2036, both issued in October 2025 at par, together with the full $1.2 billion draw on the TLB-3 senior secured term loan B. The filing also describes an increase in the revolving credit facility from $700 million to $900 million and an upsizing of the letter of credit facility from $900 million to $1.1 billion, with maturity extended from December 2026 to December 2027.

What are the key sensitivities and uncertainties the filing discloses?

The filing states that a hypothetical 0.125% increase in interest rates on the variable-rate TLB-3 would increase pro forma interest expense by $1 million, and a 0.125% decrease would reduce it by $3 million. It also notes the purchase price allocation is preliminary, may be adjusted for up to one year after closing, and could materially change the final values of assets and liabilities acquired.

The filing notes that the pro forma information is illustrative, does not reflect expected cost savings or synergies, and that the purchase price allocation is preliminary and may change materially within one year of closing. The acquisitions were funded by $1.4 billion^c of 2034 unsecured notes and $1.3 billion of 2036 unsecured notes issued in October 2025, along with a fully drawn $1.2 billion senior secured term loan B (TLB-3).
