Constellation Energy completed its acquisition of Calpine Corporation on January 7, 2026, and Calpine's senior notes and CCFC term loan remain outstanding obligations of its subsidiaries. Former Calpine stockholders who received Constellation shares obtained registration rights, and half of those shares are locked up until June 30, 2026, with the rest locked up until June 30, 2027, which could affect share supply in 2026 and 2027.
