Evergy agreed on January 7, 2026 to repurchase about $244.1 million of principal of its 4.50% Convertible Notes due 2027 for a total cost of about $302.5 million, including accrued interest. The final cash price will adjust based on the company's daily volume-weighted average share price over an agreed period starting January 7, 2026, and about $1,155.9 million of the notes will remain outstanding after closing.
