(a)Includes variable rate tax exempt bonds that permit individual bondholders to tender the bonds for purchase at any time prior to maturity. In the event these variable rate tax exempt bonds are tendered for purchase, they would be remarketed by a designated remarketing agent in accordance with the related indenture. If the remarketing is unsuccessful, FPL would be required to purchase these variable rate tax exempt bonds. At December 31, 2021, these variable rate tax exempt bonds totaled approximately $1,375 million. All variable rate tax exempt bonds tendered for purchase have been successfully remarketed. FPL's syndicated revolving credit facilities are available to support the purchase of the variable rate tax exempt bonds. Variable interest rate is established at various intervals by the remarketing agent.
(b)At December 31, 2021, includes approximately $882 million of floating rate notes that permit individual noteholders to require repayment at specified dates prior to maturity. FPL’s syndicated revolving credit facilities are available to support the purchase of the floating rate notes.
