Kesner Idalene Fay reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

These units are generally payable upon her termination of service and are held directly.

Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC reached a partial settlement with the Public Staff of the North Carolina Utilities Commission in its 2025 rate case and Performance Based Regulation application. The agreement covers certain operating and maintenance costs, project-specific capital spending, rider mechanisms, and accounting adjustments.
The stipulation will trigger a one-time pre-tax accounting charge of approximately $10 million in the second quarter of 2026. A reconciliation table in the attached overview shows the company’s requested revenue requirement increase, reflecting agreed adjustments, leading to a combined total request of $556 million and a net annualized customer rate increase of 8.3% across the historic base case and Multi-Year Rate Plan years.
Key items remain unsettled and will be litigated at hearing, including return on equity, capital structure, certain capital investments such as the overall Multi-Year Rate Plan capital program, depreciation and decommissioning, storm-related cost recovery, and performance incentive mechanisms.
Duke Energy EVP and Chief Customer Officer Alexander J. Weintraub reported routine plan-related movements in his Duke Energy interests. A discretionary transaction under Rule 16b-3(f) involved 394 shares of common stock held indirectly through a 401(k) plan at $123.81 per share, bringing his indirect 401(k) holdings to 3,011 shares.
He also reported a discretionary transaction in the Executive Savings Plan, showing 3,265 phantom stock units at $124.56 per unit, each economically equivalent to one share of Duke Energy common stock and generally settled six months after termination of service.

Duke Energy director and chair Theodore F. Craver Jr. reported a bona fide gift of 2,402 shares of Common Stock on May 18, 2026. The filing describes this as a transfer from directly held shares to a joint trust, so it does not reflect a market sale.
After the transfer, Craver reports 19,193 Duke Energy shares as directly owned, which now includes shares held through the joint trust. The transaction is a non-cash internal reallocation of ownership rather than a change in his overall economic exposure to the stock.

A management proposal to amend the certificate of incorporation to eliminate supermajority voting requirements received 516,664,589 votes for, representing 66.39% of shares outstanding, and therefore failed to meet the required 80% approval threshold.
