On September 18, 2020, NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) sold $2.0 billion of equity units (initially consisting of Corporate Units) to BofA Securities, Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. Each equity unit was issued in a stated amount of $50 consisting of a contract to purchase NEE common stock (stock purchase contract) and, initially, a 5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Series L Debenture due September 1, 2025, issued in the principal amount of $1,000 by NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc. (NEECH). Each stock purchase contract will require the holder to purchase NEE common stock for cash, based on a price per share range of $295.70 to $369.63. Total annual distributions on the equity units will be at the rate of 6.219%, consisting of interest on the debentures and payments under the stock purchase contracts. The holders of the equity units must complete the stock purchase by no later than September 1, 2023, and their purchase obligations may be satisfied with proceeds raised from a remarketing of the NEECH debentures that are a component of the equity units, if such remarketing is successful.
