Equity Distribution Agreement (CenterPoint Energy)

In April 2025, CenterPoint Energy entered into forward sale agreements pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement with counterparties relating to 3,277,764 shares and 680,902 shares of Common Stock at an initial forward price of $36.29 and $36.72, respectively. On a settlement date or dates, if CenterPoint Energy elects to physically settle the forward sale agreements, CenterPoint Energy will issue shares of Common Stock to the counterparties at the then-applicable forward sale price. The forward price used to determine amounts due at settlement is calculated based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread of 75 basis points, and will be subject to decrease on certain dates specified in the forward sale agreements by specified amounts related to expected dividends on the shares of the Common Stock during the term of the forward sale agreements. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than or more than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a reduction or an increase, respectively, of the forward sale price. CenterPoint Energy may settle the forward sale agreements at any time on or prior to the maturity date of May 14, 2026. As initial pricing terms were based on market prices for Common Stock, no amounts were recorded at the execution of the forward agreements. CenterPoint Energy will receive proceeds when settlement occurs and will record the proceeds in equity. Assuming physical settlement of the April 2025 forward sale agreements, at April 7, 2025, CenterPoint Energy had $105 million of available capacity remaining under the at-the-market program.
