Duke Energy sets up $6 billion at-the-market common stock sale program
Duke Energy entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement on March 6, 2026, creating an at-the-market program under which it may sell up to $6 billion of common stock over time through a group of sales agents. The company may also enter forward sale agreements with forward purchasers, under which it expects to receive proceeds only when those agreements settle, so the share count and future proceeds depend on how and when the program is used.
Key points
- Program covers up to $6 billion aggregate sales price of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, sold from time to time.
- Sales agents receive commissions of up to 1.00% of the sales price of shares sold through them.
- Company will not initially receive proceeds from borrowed shares sold under forward sale agreements; it expects proceeds upon future physical settlement.
- Filing is dated March 6, 2026; agreement and form forward sale agreements are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 10.1 and 10.2.
