Under the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters must buy all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures when and if they buy any of them. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters pursuant thereto are subject to certain conditions. In the event of a default by an underwriter, the underwriting agreement provides that, in certain circumstances, the purchase commitment of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated. The underwriters will sell the Junior Subordinated Debentures to the public when and if the underwriters buy the Junior Subordinated Debentures from NEE Capital.

NEE Capital will compensate the underwriters by selling the Junior Subordinated Debentures of each series to them at a price that is less than the price to public set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement by the respective amount of the “Underwriting Discount” set forth in the table below. The underwriters will sell the Junior Subordinated Debentures of each series to the public at the respective price to public and may sell the Junior Subordinated Debentures to certain dealers at a price that is less than the price to public by no more than the amount of the corresponding “Initial Dealers’ Concession” set forth in the table below. The underwriters and such dealers may sell the Junior Subordinated Debentures to certain other dealers at a price that is less than the price to public by no more than the amounts of the corresponding “Initial Dealers’ Concession” and the corresponding “Reallowed Dealers’ Concession” set forth in the table below.

An underwriter may reject any or all offers for the Junior Subordinated Debentures. After the initial public offering of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms of the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

New Issue

Each series of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. NEE Capital does not intend to apply to list any series of the Junior Subordinated Debentures on a securities exchange. The underwriters have advised NEE Capital that they intend to make a market in each series of the Junior Subordinated Debentures but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue such market-making activities at any time without notice. NEE Capital cannot give any assurance as to the maintenance of any trading market for, or the liquidity of, any series of the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

In connection with the offering, the Representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell the Junior Subordinated Debentures in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment includes syndicate sales of the Junior Subordinated Debentures in excess of the principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Junior Subordinated Debentures in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of the Junior Subordinated Debentures made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Junior Subordinated Debentures while the offering is in progress.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim an initial dealers’ concession from a syndicate member when any of the Representatives, in covering syndicate short positions or making stabilizing purchases, repurchases the Junior Subordinated Debentures originally sold by that syndicate member.

Any of these activities may cause the price of the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of such transactions. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Selling Restrictions

General

No action has been taken in any jurisdiction (except in the United States) that would permit a public offering of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, or the possession, circulation or distribution of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or any other material relating to NEE Capital, NEE or the Junior Subordinated Debentures in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Junior Subordinated Debentures may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus nor any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the Junior Subordinated Debentures may be distributed or published, in or from any country or jurisdiction except in compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction.

Canada

The Junior Subordinated Debentures may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal, that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the Junior Subordinated Debentures must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (including any amendment) contain a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Pursuant to section 3A.3 of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (“NI 33-105”), the underwriters are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with the offering.

European Economic Area

Each underwriter has represented and agreed that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Junior Subordinated Debentures to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For the purposes of this provision:

 

  (1)

the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

 

  (a)

a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”);

 

  (b)

a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

 

  (c)

not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation 2017/1129/EU (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”); and

 

  (2)

the expression “offer” means a communication to persons in any form and by any means, presenting sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation 1286/2014/EU (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Junior Subordinated Debentures or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Junior Subordinated Debentures or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Junior Subordinated Debentures in any Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation.

United Kingdom

Each underwriter has represented and agreed that it has not offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell, distribute or otherwise make available any Junior Subordinated Debentures to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the “UK”).

  (1)

a retail investor means a person who is neither:

  (b)

a qualified investor as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule I to the Public Offer and Admissions and Trading Regulations 2024 (as it may be amended from time to time); and

the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook (“DISC”) for offering, selling or distributing the Junior Subordinated Debentures or otherwise making them available to retain investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Junior Subordinated Debentures or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.

The communication of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is only being distributed to and is only directed at (1) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the “Order”), (2) high net worth entities and other persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order, or (3) other persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (each such person being referred to as a “Relevant Person”).

it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Junior Subordinated Debentures in, from or otherwise involving the UK.

Japan

The Junior Subordinated Debentures have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Law No. 25 of 1948, as amended) (the “FIEA”) and accordingly, each underwriter has represented and agreed that it will not offer or sell any Junior Subordinated Debentures, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any Japanese person, or to others for reoffering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any Japanese person except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and all other applicable laws, regulations and governmental guidelines of Japan in effect at the relevant time.

Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Junior Subordinated Debentures prior to the first business day before delivery of the Junior Subordinated Debentures should specify an extended settlement cycle at the time they enter into any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
