Each forward contract under the agreement must be settled within 24 months. The compensation paid to the selling agents by PPL may be up to 2% of the gross offering proceeds of the shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, PPL entered into forward contracts to sell approximately 38.7 million shares of its common stock at a blended initial forward price of approximately $35.50 per share.

Each outstanding forward contract must be settled on or before dates ranging from December 30, 2025 to August 11, 2027. PPL may elect, at its discretion, to physically settle, net share settle or net cash settle the forward contracts.
