Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Dominion Energy expanded its equity distribution capacity, making up to $1.8 billion of common stock available for sale under at-the-market sales agency and forward sale agreements. The company added CIBC, MUFG and TD as new agents/forward counterparties and amended its agreement with Goldman Sachs to permit collared forward transactions.

Shares may be sold from time to time under a new automatically effective Form S-3, base prospectus, and a prospectus supplement, all dated October 31, 2025. The company will not initially receive proceeds from sales of borrowed shares by forward sellers. Dominion expects to receive cash only upon future physical settlement of forward agreements; if it elects cash or net share settlement on initially priced forwards, it may receive no proceeds and could owe cash or shares.

Sales can occur through ordinary brokers’ trades, market maker transactions, block trades, electronic networks, or privately negotiated deals, including on the NYSE, up to an aggregate $1.8 billion.

Insights

$1.8B ATM and forwards add flexible equity financing capacity.

Dominion Energy increased its at-the-market (ATM) and forward sale capacity to $1.8 billion, allowing common stock sales over time via multiple agents. The filing also enables initially priced and collared forward transactions, expanding execution methods and pricing structures.

Under forward sales, counterparties borrow shares to hedge, so Dominion receives no cash upfront. Proceeds are expected on physical settlement; cash or net share settlement of initially priced forwards could yield no proceeds and may require Dominion to deliver cash or shares instead.

Execution depends on market conditions and Dominion’s settlement choices. Activity will occur under the automatically effective shelf and prospectus supplement dated October 31, 2025, with aggregate sales capped at $1.8 billion.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On October 28, 2025, Dominion Energy, Inc. (the Company) delivered notice pursuant to its existing sales agency agreements, dated February 27, 2025, to increase the maximum authorized amount by such amount as is necessary to make available $1.8 billion in shares of Company common stock for sales under the sales agency agreements. The existing sales agency agreements were entered into with each of (i) Barclays Capital Inc., as sales agent and forward seller, and Barclays Bank PLC, as forward purchaser; (ii) BMO Capital Markets Corp., as sales agent and forward seller, and Bank of Montreal, as forward purchaser; (iii) BofA Securities, Inc., as sales agent and forward seller, and Bank of America, N.A., as forward purchaser; (iv) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sales agent and forward seller, and Citibank, N.A., as forward purchaser; (v) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as sales agent, forward seller and forward purchaser (Goldman Sachs); (vi) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sales agent and forward seller, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as forward purchaser; (vii) Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as sales agent and forward seller, and Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, as forward purchaser; (viii) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as sales agent, forward seller and forward purchaser; (ix) RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent and forward seller, and Royal Bank of Canada, as forward purchaser; (x) Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as sales agent and forward seller, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as forward purchaser; (xi) Truist Securities, Inc., as sales agent and forward seller, and Truist Bank, as forward purchaser; and (xii) Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sales agent and forward seller, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as forward purchaser. On October 31, 2025, the Company entered into additional sales agency agreements, in substantially the same form as the existing sales agency agreements, with each of (i) CIBC World Markets Corp., as sales agent and forward seller, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as forward purchaser; (ii) MUFG Securities Americas Inc., as sales agent and forward seller, and MUFG Securities EMEA plc, as forward purchaser; and (iii) TD Securities (USA) LLC, as sales agent and forward seller, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, as forward purchaser. Also on October 31, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its sales agency agreement with Goldman Sachs to provide for the parties to effect collared forward transactions as discussed below. The Company may enter into an amendment in the same form with one or more of the other forward purchasers after the date hereof.

The sales agency agreements provide for an at-the-market program pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time shares of its common stock through the sales agents. The sales agency agreements also provide for the Company to enter into one or more separate forward sale agreements with the forward purchasers with respect to one or more initially priced forward transactions or, in the case of Goldman Sachs or one or more of the other forward purchasers, one or more collared forward transactions. In connection with any forward sale agreement, the relevant forward purchaser will borrow shares of Company common stock from third parties and, through the relevant forward seller and in accordance with the applicable sales agency agreement, sell such shares of the Company’s common stock to hedge such forward purchaser’s exposure under the forward sale agreement.

Sales of shares of Company common stock under the at-the-market program, if any, may be made (i) by any method permitted by law to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, sales to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network or sales directly on the New York Stock Exchange, the existing trading market for the common stock, or (ii) by any other method permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the Company in writing, including through an alternative trading system or any other market venue, in the over-the-counter market, and in privately negotiated transactions, including block trades. Any shares of Company common stock offered under the at-the-market program will be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291189) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2025, which was automatically effective upon filing, the related base prospectus, dated October 31, 2025, and a prospectus supplement, dated October 31, 2025. The aggregate offering amount of the shares of Company common stock sold by the Company through the agents or by the forward sellers under the prospectus supplement cannot exceed $1.8 billion.

The Company will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of borrowed shares of Company common stock by a forward seller. In the case of an initially priced forward transaction, the Company expects to receive proceeds upon future physical settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement on the date specified by the Company on or prior to the maturity date of the relevant forward sale agreement. If the Company instead elects to cash settle or net share settle an initially priced forward transaction, it may not (in the case of cash settlement) or will not (in the case of net share settlement) receive any proceeds, and the Company may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or


shares of Company common stock (in the case of net share settlement) to the relevant forward purchaser. In the case of a collared forward transaction, the Company expects to receive proceeds upon future physical settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement on the date specified in accordance with the applicable forward sale agreement.

The foregoing description of the sales agency agreements, the amendment to the sales agency agreement and any forward sale agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of sales agency agreement and form of amendment to sales agency agreement, including the forms of forward sale agreements attached as schedules thereto, which are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 1.2 hereto.
