Equity | NOTE 20. EQUITY Common Stock Dominion Energy During 2023, 2022 and 2021, Dominion Energy recorded, net of fees and commissions, $94 million, $2.0 billion and $340 million from the issuance of approximately 2 million, 25 million and 4 million shares of common stock, respectively, as described below. Dominion Energy Direct® and Employee Savings Plans Dominion Energy maintains Dominion Energy Direct® and a number of employee savings plans through which contributions may be invested in Dominion Energy’s common stock. These shares may either be newly issued or purchased on the open market with proceeds contributed to these plans. In January 2021, Dominion Energy began issuing new shares of common stock for these direct stock purchase plans. In August 2023, Dominion Energy began purchasing its common stock on the open market for these direct stock purchase plans. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, Dominion Energy issued 1.7 million, 2.4 million and 2.6 million, respectively, of such shares and received proceeds of $94 million, $179 million and $192 million, respectively. At-the-Market Program In 2020, Dominion Energy entered into sales agency agreements to effect sales under a new at-the-market program. Under the sales agency agreements, Dominion Energy could, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its common stock through the sales agents or enter into one or more forward sale agreements with respect to shares of its common stock. Sales by Dominion Energy through the sales agents or by forward sellers pursuant to a forward sale agreement cannot exceed $1.0 billion in the aggregate. In November 2021, Dominion Energy entered forward sale agreements for approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock to be settled by November 2022 at an initial forward price of $74.66 per share. Except in certain circumstances, Dominion Energy could have elected physical, cash or net settlement of the forward sale agreements. In November 2022, Dominion Energy provided notice to elect physical settlement of the forward sale agreements and in December 2022 received total proceeds of $78 million. This program expired in June 2023. Other Issuances In August 2021, Dominion Energy issued 0.6 million shares of its common stock, valued at $45 million, to satisfy DESC’s obligation for the initial payment under a settlement agreement with the SCDOR discussed in Note 23. In May 2022, Dominion Energy issued 0.9 million shares of its common stock, valued at $72 million, to partially satisfy DESC’s remaining obligation under the settlement agreement. In June 2022, Dominion Energy issued 0.4 million shares of its common stock, valued at $30 million, to partially satisfy its obligation under a settlement agreement for the State Court Merger Case discussed in Note 23. In June 2022, Dominion Energy issued 19.4 million shares of its common stock to settle the stock purchase contract component of the 2019 Equity Units, as discussed in Note 19, and received proceeds of $1.6 billion. In July 2021, Dominion Energy issued 1.4 million shares of its common stock, valued at $104 million, to satisfy DESC’s obligation under a settlement agreement for the FILOT litigation discussed in Note 23. Repurchase of Common Stock Dominion Energy did no t repurchase any shares in 2023, 2022 or 2021, except for shares tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, which do not count against its stock repurchase authorization. In November 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of Dominion Energy’s common stock, with $0.9 billion available as of December 31, 2023. This repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price or volume targets and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at the discretion of management subject to prevailing market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors. Virginia Power In the fourth quarter of 2023, Virginia Power issued 49,522 shares of its common stock to Dominion Energy for $3.25 billion with the proceeds utilized to repay substantially all of the outstanding borrowings under Virginia Power’s intercompany credit facility with Dominion Energy. Virginia Power issued the shares pursuant to a Virginia Commission order authorizing the issuance of up to $3.25 billion of common stock to Dominion Energy through the end of 2023 as part of its reasonable efforts to maintain a common equity capitalization to total capitalization ratio of 52.10% through December 2024 in accordance with legislation enacted in Virginia in April 2023 as discussed in Note 13. Virginia Power did not issue any shares of its common stock to Dominion Energy in 2022 or 2021. Noncontrolling Interests Non-Wholly-Owned Nonregulated Solar Facilities In December 2021, Dominion Energy completed the sale of SBL Holdco, which held Dominion Energy’s 67% controlling interest in certain nonregulated solar projects, and the sale of its 50% controlling interest in Four Brothers and Three Cedars. As a result of these sales, all balances recorded as noncontrolling interests associated with these entities were written off. See Note 10 for additional information.

(3) Net of $— million, $2 million and $(2) million tax at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock-Based Awards The 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan permits stock-based awards that include restricted stock, performance grants, goal-based stock, stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan permits grants of restricted stock and stock options. Under provisions of these plans, employees and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase common stock at a price not less than its fair market value at the date of grant with a maximum term of eight years. Option terms are set at the discretion of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors itself, as provided under each plan. No options are outstanding under either plan. At December 31, 2023, approximately 15 million shares were available for future grants under these plans. Goal-based stock awards are granted in lieu of cash-based performance grants to certain officers who have not achieved a certain targeted level of share ownership. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested goal-based stock awards was inconsequential. Dominion Energy measures and recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payment transactions over the vesting period based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Dominion Energy’s results for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 include $44 million, $36 million and $42 million, respectively, of compensation costs and $10 million, $7 million and $9 million, respectively, of income tax benefits related to Dominion Energy’s stock-based compensation arrangements. Stock-based compensation cost is reported in other operations and maintenance expense in Dominion Energy’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Excess Tax Benefits are classified as a financing cash flow. Restricted Stock Restricted stock grants are made to officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP and may also be granted to certain key non-officer employees. The fair value of Dominion Energy’s restricted stock awards is equal to the closing price of Dominion Energy’s stock on the date of grant. New shares are issued for restricted stock awards on the date of grant and generally vest over a three-year service period. The following table provides a summary of restricted stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:
|  | Shares (millions) |  |  | Weighted - Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Nonvested at December 31, 2020 |  |  | 1.4 |  |  | $ | 77.41 |
Granted |  |  | 0.5 |  |  |  | 71.78 |

Vested |  |  | (0.4 | ) |  |  | 77.87 |

Nonvested at December 31, 2023 |  |  | 1.9 |  |  | $ | 61.34 |
As of December 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards totaled $70 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The fair value of restricted stock awards that vested was $20 million, $31 million and $37 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Employees may elect to have shares of restricted stock withheld upon vesting to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The number of shares withheld will vary for each employee depending on the vesting date fair market value of Dominion Energy stock and the applicable federal, state and local tax withholding rates. Cash-Based Performance Grants Cash-based performance grants are made to Dominion Energy’s officers under Dominion Energy’s LTIP. The actual payout of cash-based performance grants will vary between zero and 200% of the targeted amount based on the level of performance metrics achieved. In February 2020, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant occurred in January 2023 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2020, 2021 and 2022: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC with an additional payout based on Dominion Energy’s price-earnings ratio relative to that of the members of Dominion Energy’s peer compensation group. The total of the payout under the grant was $4 million, all of which was accrued on December 31, 2022. In February 2021, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2024 based on the achievement of two performance metrics during 2021, 2022 and 2023: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group and ROIC. There is an additional opportunity to earn a portion of the award based on Dominion Energy’s relative price-earnings ratio performance. The total of the payout under the grant was $4 million, all of which was accrued at December 31, 2023. In February 2022, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2025 based on the achievement of three performance metrics during 2022, 2023 and 2024: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group, Cumulative Operating EPS, and Non-Carbon Emitting Generation Capacity Performance. At December 31, 2023, the targeted amount of the three-year grant was $16 million and a liability of $5 million had been accrued for this award. In February 2023, a cash-based performance grant was made to officers. Payout of the performance grant is expected to occur by March 15, 2026 based on the achievement of three performance metrics during 2023, 2024 and 2025: TSR relative to that of companies that are members of Dominion Energy’s compensation peer group, Cumulative Operating EPS, and Non-Carbon Emitting Generation Capacity Performance. At December 31, 2023, the targeted amount of the three-year grant was $16 million and a liability of $3 million had been accrued for this award.
