CenterPoint Energy, Inc. entered into a new Equity Distribution Agreement allowing it to offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time in an at-the-market program with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1,000,000,000. The company simultaneously terminated its prior at-the-market program, under which approximately $84.9 million of capacity remained unused.
Sales may be made through multiple financial institutions acting as managers, forward purchasers and forward sellers, including ordinary broker transactions on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Texas or privately negotiated trades. The agreement also permits forward sale arrangements, where banks borrow and sell shares on CenterPoint’s behalf, with the company generally expecting to physically settle these forward contracts in shares. Net proceeds from any shares sold are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including subsidiary capital expenditures and repayment of commercial paper borrowings.

Commissions of up to 1% apply to sales by Managers and Forward Sellers. Net proceeds are intended for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and repayment of commercial paper. The equity distribution agreement terminates upon sales totaling the aggregate amount, by May 15, 2029, or earlier termination.
