forward-looking statements regulatory

"This communication includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor"

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.

Registration Statement regulatory

"The preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4"

A registration statement is a formal document that companies file with a government agency to offer new shares of stock to the public. It provides essential information about the company's finances, operations, and risks, helping investors make informed decisions. Think of it as a detailed product description that ensures transparency and trust before buying into a company.

joint proxy statement/prospectus regulatory

"which includes a preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus of NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy"

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.

safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regulatory

"within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act"

participants in the solicitation regulatory

"may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the proposed"

People or firms who actively seek to influence shareholders’ choices in a corporate action—such as a vote, merger, proxy contest, or tender offer. This can include company insiders, advisers, bankers, lawyers and professional solicitors who contact investors to persuade them. Investors care because knowing who is doing the persuading reveals potential conflicts, resources and credibility behind the campaign, much like checking who is organizing a political campaign before accepting its message.

risk factors financial

"including the risk factors contained in NextEra Energy’s and Dominion Energy’s most recently filed"

Risk factors are elements or conditions that could cause an investment's value to decrease or lead to potential losses.
