<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Item 1.01&#160;&#160;&#160;Entry Into a Material Definitive
Agreement.</b></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On April 1, 2019, the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (&#8220;DEQ&#8221;) issued a closure determination requiring Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (&#8220;DEC&#8221;) and Duke Energy
Progress, LLC (&#8220;DEP&#8221;) to excavate all remaining coal ash basins in North Carolina, which comprises nine ash basins
at six sites across North Carolina. At that time, Duke Energy Corporation estimated the incremental undiscounted cost to close
the nine remaining basins by excavation would be approximately $4 billion to $5 billion, potentially increasing the total estimated
costs to permanently close all ash basins in North Carolina and South Carolina to $9.5 to $10.5 billion.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On December 31, 2019, DEC, DEP, DEQ, and certain other parties represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center (&#8220;SELC&#8221;)
entered into a Settlement Agreement (the &#8220;Settlement&#8221;) whereby DEC and DEP agreed to excavate seven of the nine remaining
coal ash basins in North Carolina, with ash moved to on-site lined landfills, including two at the Allen Steam Station, one at
Belews Creek Steam Station, one at Mayo Plant, one at Roxboro Plant and two at the Rogers Energy Complex. At the two remaining
basins at Marshall Steam Station and at the Roxboro Plant, uncapped basin ash will be excavated and moved to lined landfills. Those
portions of the basins at the Marshall Steam Station and Roxboro Plant which were previously filled with ash and permitted facilities
were built on top will not be disturbed and will be closed under other state regulations.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Also pursuant to the Settlement, the parties agreed to settle
and dismiss all litigation, including the DEC and DEP appeal before the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings of the
April 1, 2019 DEQ order, all state enforcement actions in the North Carolina Superior Court and all federal citizen suits pertaining
to Clean Water Act violations filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The DEQ and
those parties represented by the SELC also agreed that they would not challenge or otherwise object in court or before any other
administrative body to the reasonableness, prudence, public interest, or legal requirement of the obligations imposed by the Settlement
or any related consent decrees. The Settlement will be memorialized into a consent decree to be approved and entered by the North
Carolina Superior Court.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Settlement lowers the estimated total undiscounted cost
to close the nine remaining basins by excavation by approximately $1.5 billion as compared to the estimate described above following
the April 1, 2019 DEQ order. As a result, the estimated total cost to permanently close all ash basins in North Carolina and South
Carolina is now approximately $8 to $9 billion, of which approximately $2.4 billion has been spent through 2019. The majority of
the remaining spend is expected to occur over the next 15-20 years. DEC and DEP intend to seek recovery of all costs through the
ratemaking process consistent with previous regulatory proceedings.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The foregoing description of the Settlement is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the text of the agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.</p>
