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.

Registration Statement on Form S-4 regulatory

"NextEra Energy filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4"

A registration statement on Form S-4 is a formal filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission used when a company issues shares or other securities as part of a merger, acquisition, exchange offer or similar corporate deal. It bundles the transaction terms, financial statements, risk factors and shareholder vote materials so investors can assess the deal; think of it as a detailed prospectus or buyer’s packet that explains what you would own and how the deal could change your stake.

joint proxy statement/prospectus regulatory

"includes a preliminary joint proxy statement of NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy that also constitutes a preliminary 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.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regulatory

"within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"

safe harbor provisions regulatory

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

Safe harbor provisions are rules or legal protections that shield companies or individuals from certain penalties or liabilities when they follow specific guidelines or procedures. They provide a sense of security, encouraging compliance and innovation by reducing the fear of legal repercussions if they act in good faith. For investors, these provisions help ensure that companies are transparent and accountable without the risk of unfair punishment for honest mistakes.
