As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on May 15, 2026, NextEra Energy, Inc.,
a Florida corporation (“NextEra Energy”), WG Development Corp., a Virginia corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary
of NextEra Energy (“Merger Sub Corp”), CS Holdco, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary
of NextEra Energy (“LLC Sub”), and Dominion Energy, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Dominion Energy”), entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub Corp will merge with and into Dominion Energy, with Dominion Energy as the surviving corporation
(the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy (the “First Merger”), and (ii) immediately
following the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation intends to merge with and into LLC Sub, with LLC Sub as the surviving entity (the
“Surviving Entity”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy (the “Second Merger” and, together with the
First Merger, the “Mergers”). The First Merger will become effective at the time the Clerk of the Virginia State Corporation
Commission issues a certificate of merger with respect to the articles of merger pertaining to the First Merger or at such later time
as may be agreed by NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy in writing and specified in such articles of merger. Consummation of the First
Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.
On July 9, 2026, NextEra Energy filed a registration statement
on Form S-4 (No. 333-297351) (the “Registration Statement”), which contained a preliminary prospectus of NextEra
Energy and a preliminary joint proxy statement of NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy. The Registration Statement was declared effective
by the SEC on July 23, 2026. NextEra Energy filed with the SEC the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “joint
proxy statement/prospectus”) on July 28, 2026 and commenced mailing copies of the Proxy
Statement on or about July 28, 2026.
Since entering into the Merger Agreement, NextEra Energy has received
several demand letters from purported shareholders of NextEra Energy (the “Demand Letters”). The Demand Letters assert that,
among other things, the joint proxy statement/prospectus contains certain disclosure deficiencies and/or incomplete information regarding
the Mergers. It is possible that additional or similar demand letters may be received by NextEra Energy, or that complaints making similar
allegations may be filed naming NextEra Energy as a defendant, regarding the Mergers. NextEra Energy will not necessarily disclose such
additional demands or complaints.
NextEra Energy believes that the disclosures set forth in the joint
proxy statement/prospectus comply fully with applicable law, that no further disclosure beyond that already contained in the joint proxy
statement/prospectus is required under applicable law, and that the allegations asserted in the Demand Letters are entirely without merit.
However, in order to moot these disclosure claims, to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the closing
of the Mergers, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, NextEra Energy is voluntarily supplementing the joint proxy statement/prospectus
with the supplemental disclosures set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures
shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To
the contrary, NextEra Energy specifically denies all allegations in the Demand Letters that any additional disclosure was or is required.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction
with the joint proxy statement/prospectus, which should be read in its entirety and is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov,
along with periodic reports and other information NextEra Energy files with the SEC. To the extent that the information set forth herein
differs from or updates information contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the information set forth herein shall supersede
or supplement the information in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. All page references are to pages in the joint proxy statement/prospectus,
and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. New text within restated language from the joint proxy statement/prospectus is highlighted
with bold, underlined text and removed language within restated language from the joint proxy statement/prospectus is indicated by strikethrough text.
The disclosure in the section entitled “The Mergers—Background of the Mergers” is hereby amended by adding the text
indicated below to the second paragraph on page 66 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus:
On March 26, 2026, Mr. Blue also called
Party A’s CEO and informed him that the board of Dominion Energy required a higher premium from Party A but was prepared to move
forward with diligence subject to the execution of a non-disclosure and standstill agreement so that Party A could have a better understanding
of Dominion Energy and support an increased premium. Mr. Purohit and Ms. Elbert then engaged with Party A’s chief legal
officer on the diligence process and the execution of a non-disclosure and standstill agreement. On March 27, 2026, the Non-Disclosure
and Standstill Agreement with Party A was executed, which included a standstill restriction on Party A that automatically expired
upon Dominion Energy’s entry into a definitive agreement.

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinions of NextEra Energy’s Financial Advisors—Opinion of
Lazard Frères & Co. LLC—NextEra Financial Analyses—NextEra Energy Sum-of-the-Parts Discounted Cash Flow Analysis”
is hereby amended by replacing the second full paragraph on page 90 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus with the following:
For NextEra Energy’s FPL, NEER and
Corporate and Other segments, the discount rate ranges were based on Lazard’s estimate of each segment’s weighted average
cost of capital, and the ranges of exit multiples for each segment were selected by Lazard based upon its professional judgment and experience.
Also supporting the Sum-of-the-Parts Discounted Cash Flow Analysis was a calculation of segment-level net debt based on the NextEra Energy
forecasted financial information. Net Debt is calculated as short-term debt, plus long-term debt, plus finance leases, plus non-controlling
interest, less cash and cash equivalents and less equity method investments

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Mergers— Opinions of NextEra Energy’s Financial Advisors—Opinion of
Lazard Frères & Co. LLC—NextEra Financial Analyses—NextEra Energy Sum-of-the-Parts Company Comparables Analysis”
is hereby amended by replacing the third full paragraph on page 91 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus with the following:
For each of the selected companies, Lazard reviewed
and compared, among other things, (i) with respect to NextEra Energy’s Premium Utility Peers, the price per share as of May 15,
2026, as a multiple of estimated Adjusted EPS (defined as diluted earnings per share, adjusted, as applicable, for non-recurring items
and any other adjustments, as appropriate), based on FactSet Research Systems and the companies’ public filings for fiscal years
2026 and 2027 and (ii) with respect to NextEra Energy’s Premium Independent Power Producer Peers, the enterprise
value of the selected company (defined as equity market capitalization plus total debt, plus preferred equity and noncontrolling interest,
less cash and cash equivalents) as of May 15, 2026, as a multiple of such selected company’s estimated Adjusted EBITDA (defined
as estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted, as applicable, for non-recurring items and any
other adjustments, as appropriate), based on FactSet Research Systems and the companies’ public filings, for fiscal years
2026 and 2027.
For each of NextEra Energy’s Premium
Utility Peers and Premium Independent Power Producer Peers, Lazard calculated the following multiples:

Analysis” is hereby amended by replacing the first full paragraph on page 93 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus with the following:
For Dominion Energy’s Virginia, South
Carolina, Contracted Energy and Corporate and Other segments, the discount rate ranges were based on Lazard’s estimate of each segment’s

Energy for the last three fiscal quarters of 2026 and for the fiscal years 2027 through 2030 as reflected in the Dominion projections
and (b) a range of illustrative terminal values for Dominion Energy, which were calculated by applying a range of LTM (Last Twelve Months)
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, exit multiples of 12.00x to 13.00x, to a
terminal year estimate of the EBITDA to be generated by Dominion Energy, as reflected in the Dominion projections (which analysis implied
perpetuity growth rates ranging from 0.7% to 1.9%). The range of LTM terminal year exit EBITDA multiples was estimated by Goldman Sachs
utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account the Dominion projections, historical trading multiples of Dominion
Energy and the historical trading multiples of certain relevant utility peers, looked at over the last 10 years and the last two years
on a 75th and 25th percentile basis, as well as the mean and median. Those peers included Alliant Energy Corporation, Ameren Corporation,
American Electric Power Co Inc., CMS Energy Corporation, Duke Energy Corporation, Entergy Corporation, Evergy Inc., The Southern Company,
WEC Energy Group, Inc., and Xcel Energy Inc. Utilizing its professional judgment and experience, Goldman Sachs derived such
discount rates by application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), which requires certain company-specific inputs,
including Dominion Energy’s target capital structure weightings, the cost of long-term debt, applicable marginal cash tax rate and
a beta for Dominion Energy, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally.

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion
of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC—Dominion Energy Consolidated Discounted Cash Flow Analyses” is hereby supplemented by adding
the underlined disclosure under that heading on page 119 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus:
J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted
cash flow analysis for the purpose of determining an implied standalone equity present value per share for Dominion Energy common stock.
For the purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, “unlevered free cash flows” were calculated by taking earnings before interest
and taxes, subtracting cash taxes, adding back depreciation and amortization, subtracting capital expenditures and adjusting for other
operating and investing cash flows. The free cash flows and range of terminal values were discounted to present values as of March 31,
2026 using a range of discount rates which were chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon its experience and professional judgment and
analysis of the weighted average cost of capital applicable to comparable companies and businesses. The sum-of-the-parts discounted cash
flow analyses do not imply the value at which the individual Dominion Energy businesses could be sold.
J.P. Morgan conducted discounted
cash flow analyses of Dominion Energy by calculating the estimated present value of the unlevered free cash flows expected to be generated
by Dominion Energy during fiscal years 2026 through 2030 based on Dominion Energy management’s projections, as discussed more fully
in the section entitled “—Certain Dominion Energy Unaudited Prospective Financial Information.” J.P. Morgan also
calculated a range of terminal values for Dominion Energy at the end of this period by applying a terminal growth rate estimated by Dominion
Energy management ranging from 0.70% to 0.90%. The range of unlevered free cash flow and terminal values for Dominion Energy were discounted
to present values (as of March 31, 2026), using discount rates ranging from 5.00% to 5.50%, which were chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon
its experience and professional judgment and an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital applicable to comparable
companies and businesses. The present value of the unlevered free cash flows and the range of terminal values for Dominion Energy were
then adjusted for net debt, non-controlling interest, unconsolidated investments and preferred stock balances as of March 31, 2026, in
each case as provided by Dominion Energy’s management, as well as certain other adjustments to indicate an implied equity value
per share of Dominion Energy common stock.

Morgan calculated a range of terminal values by applying terminal growth rates of 2.90% to 3.10% to the segment’s projected 2032 cash flows (as estimated by Dominion Energy management). J.P. Morgan then discounted those unlevered free cash flows to a present value by using a discount rate range of 5.50% to 6.00%, which range was chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon its experience and professional judgment and its analysis of the weighted average cost of capital applicable to the Energy Resources business segment. |

The unlevered free cash flows and ranges of terminal values of the corporate and other segment were then discounted to present value using a discount rate range of 5.08% to 5.58%, which range was chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon its experience and professional judgment and an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital applicable to the corporate and other segment. |
