In February 2020, NEE sold $2.5 billion of equity units (initially consisting of Corporate Units). Each equity unit has a stated amount of $50 and consists of a contract to purchase NEE common stock (stock purchase contract) and, initially, a 5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Series K Debenture due March 1, 2025, issued in the principal amount of $1,000 by NEECH. Each stock purchase contract requires the holder to purchase by no later than March 1, 2023 (the final settlement date) for a price of $50 in cash, a number of shares of NEE common stock (subject to antidilution adjustments) based on a price per share range of $282.04 to $352.55. If purchased on the final settlement date, as of June 30, 2020, the number of shares issued would (subject to antidilution adjustments) range from 0.1773 shares if the applicable market value of a share of common stock is less than or equal to $282.04 to 0.1418 shares if the applicable market value of a share is equal to or greater than $352.55, with applicable market value to be determined using the average closing prices of NEE common stock over a 20-day trading period ending February 24, 2023. Total annual distributions on the equity units are at the rate of 5.279%, consisting of interest on the debentures (1.84% per year) and payments under the stock purchase contracts (3.439% per year). The interest rate on the debentures is expected to be reset on or after August 25, 2022. A holder of an equity unit may satisfy its purchase obligation with proceeds raised from remarketing the NEECH debentures that are part of its equity unit. The undivided beneficial ownership interest in the NEECH debenture that is a component of each Corporate Unit is pledged to NEE to secure the holder's obligation to purchase NEE common stock under the related stock purchase contract. If a successful remarketing does not occur on or before the third business day prior to the final settlement date, and a holder has not notified NEE of its intention to settle the stock purchase contract with cash, the debentures that are components of the Corporate Units will be used to satisfy in full the holders' obligations to purchase NEE common stock under the related stock purchase contracts on the final settlement date. The debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NEE.
