Insights

Merger framed as organizational continuity at the utility level.

The message positions Florida Power & Light as operationally unchanged while corporate ownership and scale change through the proposed combination with Dominion Energy. Leadership continuity and Armando’s transition to vice chairman are highlighted as governance moves to support integration.

Integration risks and benefits are acknowledged in general terms; specific synergies, cost savings, or timing are not quantified in this excerpt, so subsequent SEC filings (the Form S-4) will be necessary to evaluate financial impact.

Filing pathway and risk disclosures are standard for a proposed combination.

The communication states NextEra intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 including a joint proxy statement/prospectus and lists regulatory, shareholder approval, and closing-condition risks verbatim. It reiterates customary safe-harbor forward-looking language and directs investors to prior 10-K/10-Q risk factors.

Material regulatory approvals and shareholder votes are explicit gating items; timing and specific regulatory conditions are not provided in this excerpt.

Referenced filings Form 10-K and Form 10-Q investors directed to risk factors in recent 10-K and 10-Q filings
Form S-4 regulatory
"NextEra intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4"
A Form S-4 is a legal document that companies file with the government to announce and explain a major business move, such as a merger or acquisition. It provides detailed information to help investors understand how the deal might affect the company's value and future prospects, similar to a detailed blueprint that clarifies the impact of a significant change.
joint proxy statement/prospectus regulatory
"registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a joint proxy statement/prospectus"
A joint proxy statement/prospectus is a single, combined document that both asks shareholders to vote on a proposed transaction and provides the detailed information required when new securities are being offered. Think of it as a combined ballot and product brochure that explains the deal, the companies’ finances, key risks and how ownership will change. Investors rely on it to understand the terms, evaluate risks and make informed voting and investment decisions.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This communication includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
solicitation of proxies regulatory
"may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the proposed transactions"
Solicitation of proxies is the process by which a company or a shareholder asks other shareholders to authorize their votes on corporate matters by signing or submitting a proxy form. Think of it like asking friends to sign a permission slip on your behalf so a decision can be made without everyone attending; it matters to investors because proxy campaigns determine control of the board, approval of major deals or policies, and can signal contested management battles that affect share value and strategy.

The following communication was sent by Scott Bores, President and Chief Executive Officer of Florida Power & Light Company, to employees of Florida Power & Light Company on May 18, 2026.

 

Team,

 

By now, you have seen John's note about our planned combination with Dominion Energy. I wanted to take a moment to speak directly to you about what this means for FPL.

 

First, I want to say what an honor it is to lead this team. I do not take that responsibility lightly, and I am deeply grateful for the trust John and our leadership team have placed in me. I also want to take a moment to recognize Armando. Armando has been an outstanding leader for this organization, and the foundation we stand on today is a direct reflection of his dedication, vision and commitment to our people and our customers. I know I speak for all of us when I say we are grateful for everything he has done for FPL. We are fortunate that he will continue to play a critical role for our company as vice chairman of NextEra Energy, where he will help lead our combination effort and support broader strategic priorities as a special advisor to John.

 

The short answer on what today's merger announcement means for FPL is this: a great deal changes for NextEra Energy as a combined company, and very little changes for us here at FPL.

 

We will continue doing what we do best, delivering safe, reliable, affordable power to the more than six million customers who count on us every single day. Our focus remains the same. And our commitment to our customers and our communities has never been stronger.

 

What does change is the company behind us gets even stronger, and I want to be clear about why that matters. Dominion Energy is an outstanding company. They have served their customers with dedication for more than a century, built a world-class regulated utility business across three high-growth states and established themselves as the leading utility in Virginia, the world's premier large-load market. They bring deep expertise, strong relationships and a management team we genuinely respect. We are proud to be joining forces with them.

 

I am also looking forward to introducing you to Bob Blue and the Dominion Energy team. They are outstanding professionals with a deep commitment to their customers and communities, and I know you will welcome them with the same warmth and pride that defines this organization. We will have more opportunities to connect with them as this process moves forward, and I look forward to building those relationships together.

 

FPL remains one of the most important and valued parts of the NextEra Energy family. The work you do every day is the foundation this company is built on, and that will not change.

 

As always, I am committed to keeping you informed as this process moves forward. In the meantime, please continue to focus on what you do best. Our customers are counting on us, just as they always have.

 

Stay safe and cyber aware.
