Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The disclosure regarding the
Forward Sale Agreements (as defined below) under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On November 20, 2025, OGE
Energy Corp. (NYSE: OGE) (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Offering (as defined below) and issued
a press release announcing that it had priced the Offering. Copies of these press releases are furnished as Exhibits 99.01 and 99.02 hereto
and are incorporated herein by reference.
We anticipate that the net
proceeds of the Offering, together with proceeds from our automatic dividend reinvestment and stock repurchase plan, will satisfy the
external equity amounts required to finance the incremental investments under our updated $7.285 billion five-year capital plan through
2030. There can be no assurances, however, that our equity needs will not change. Among other factors, any updates to our capital plan
or any updates to the assumptions, expectations and projections underlying our existing capital plan may require additional financing,
including equity financing.
The information furnished
is not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not subject to
the liabilities of that section and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”).
Item 8.01. Other Events
On November 20, 2025,
the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”),
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, acting in their capacity as forward sellers (in such capacity, the “Forward
Sellers”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, New York Branch, acting in their
capacity as forward purchasers (in such capacity, the “Forward Purchasers”), in connection with the underwritten public offering
by the Underwriters (the “Offering”) of 8,023,256 shares (the “Offered Shares”) of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). Of the Offered Shares, 4,011,628 shares were issued and sold by the
Company to the Underwriters, and 4,011,628 shares were borrowed from third parties and sold to the Underwriters by the Forward Sellers.
On November 21, 2025,
the Underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 1,203,488 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement.
On November 20, 2025,
the Company entered into forward sale agreements (the “Forward Sale Agreements”) with each of the Forward Purchasers, relating
to an aggregate of 4,011,628 shares of Common Stock, to be borrowed from third parties and sold by the Forward Sellers to the Underwriters.
On November 21, 2025, the Company entered into additional forward sale agreements with each of the Forward Purchasers relating to
an aggregate of 601,744 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Forward Sale Agreements” and, unless the context otherwise
requires, the term Forward Sale Agreements as used in this Current Report on Form 8-K includes the Additional Forward Sale Agreements).
The Forward Sale Agreements
provide for settlement on a settlement date or dates to be specified at the Company’s discretion by May 27, 2027. On a settlement
date or dates, if the Company decides to physically settle the Forward Sale Agreements, the Company will issue shares of Common Stock
to the Forward Purchasers at the then-applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price will initially be $41.71 per share, which
is the price at which the Underwriters have agreed to buy the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The Forward
Sale Agreements provide that the initial forward sale price will be subject to adjustment based on a floating interest rate factor equal
to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread, and will be subject to decrease on each of certain dates specified in the Forward Sale
Agreements by amounts related to expected dividends on shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the term of the Forward Sale
Agreements. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction
of the forward sale price. The forward sale price will also be subject to decrease if the cost to a Forward Seller of borrowing the number
of shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the applicable Forward Sale Agreement exceeds a specified amount.
Before the issuance of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock, if any, upon settlement of the Forward Sale Agreements, the Company expects that the shares issuable
upon settlement of the Forward Sale Agreements will be reflected in the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculations using
the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock used in calculating diluted earnings
per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that would be issued
upon full physical settlement of the Forward Sale Agreements over the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that could
be purchased by the Company in the market (based on the average market price of the Company’s Common Stock during the applicable
reporting period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of
the applicable reporting period). Consequently, the Company anticipates there will be no dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings
per share except during periods when the average market price of shares of the Company’s Common Stock is above the applicable adjusted
forward sale price, which is initially $41.71 per share, subject to increase or decrease based on the overnight bank funding rate, less
a spread, and subject to decrease by amounts related to expected dividends on shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the term
of the Forward Sale Agreements.
However, if the Company decides
to physically or net share settle the Forward Sale Agreements, delivery of shares of the Company’s Common Stock on any physical
or net share settlement of the Forward Sale Agreements will result in dilution to the Company’s earnings per share.
The Forward Sale Agreements
will be physically settled, unless the Company elects to settle the Forward Sale Agreements in cash or to net share settle the Forward
Sale Agreements (which the Company has the right to do, subject to certain conditions). If the Company decides to physically settle or
net share settle the Forward Sale Agreements, delivery of shares of Common Stock upon any physical settlement or net share settlement
of the Forward Sale Agreements will result in dilution to the Company’s earnings per share. If the Company elects cash or net share
settlement for all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Forward Sale Agreements, the Company would expect each of
the Forward Purchasers or their respective affiliates to repurchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the portion for which
the Company elects cash or net share settlement in order to satisfy its obligations to return the shares of the Company’s Common
Stock the Forward Purchasers or their respective affiliates have borrowed in connection with sales of Common Stock in the Offering and,
if applicable in connection with net share settlement, to deliver shares of Common Stock to the Company. If the market value of Common
Stock at the time of such purchase is above the forward sale price at that time, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be,
to the Forward Purchasers under the Forward Sale Agreements, an amount in cash, or a number of shares of Common Stock with a market value,
equal to such difference. Any such difference could be significant. Conversely, if the market value of Common Stock at the time of such
purchase is below the forward sale price at that time, the Forward Purchasers will pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the Company
under the Forward Sale Agreements, an amount in cash, or a number of shares of Common Stock with a market value, equal to such difference.
Each Forward Purchaser will
have the right to accelerate its respective Forward Sale Agreement (or, in certain cases, the portion thereof that it determines is affected
by the relevant event) and require the Company to physically settle such Forward Sale Agreement on a date specified by such Forward Purchaser
if:
| · | in the good faith, commercially reasonable judgment
of such Forward Purchaser, it or its affiliate, is unable to hedge its exposure to the transactions contemplated by such Forward Sale
Agreement because of the lack of sufficient shares of the Company’s Common Stock being made available for borrowing by stock lenders,
or it, or its affiliate, is unable to borrow such number of shares at a rate equal to or less than an agreed maximum stock loan rate; |
| · | the Company declares any dividend or distribution
on shares of the Company’s Common Stock payable in (i) cash in excess of a specified amount (other than an extraordinary dividend),
(ii) securities of another company, or (iii) any other type of securities (other than the Company’s Common Stock), rights,
warrants, or other assets for payment (cash or other consideration) at less than the prevailing market price, as reasonably determined
by such Forward Purchaser; |
| · | certain ownership thresholds applicable to such
Forward Purchaser are exceeded; |
| · | an event is announced that, if consummated, would
result in an extraordinary event (as defined in such Forward Sale Agreement), including, among other things, certain mergers and tender
offers, as well as certain events such as a delisting of the Company’s Common Stock (each as more fully described in the relevant
Forward Sale Agreement); or |
| · | certain other events of default or termination
events occur, including, among other things, any material misrepresentation made by the Company in connection with entry into such Forward
Sale Agreement, the Company’s bankruptcy (except as described in the prospectus supplement) or certain changes in law (each as more
fully described in each Forward Sale Agreement). |
In the ordinary course of
their respective businesses, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers and/or their affiliates have in the past and may in the future
provide the Company and its affiliates with financial advisory and other services for which they have and in the future will receive customary
fees. For example, the Forward Purchasers and affiliates of the Underwriters are lenders under the Company’s credit facilities.
In connection with their participation in the Company’s credit facilities, the Forward Purchasers and such affiliates of the Underwriters
receive customary fees, and to the extent that the Company uses any of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay future borrowings outstanding
under the Company’s credit facilities, the Forward Purchasers and such affiliates of the Underwriters will receive their proportionate
share of any amount of the Company’s credit facilities that is repaid with the net proceeds of the Offering.
The foregoing descriptions
of the Underwriting Agreement and the Forward Sale Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, the Forward Sale Agreements and each of the Additional Forward Sale Agreements,
which are filed as Exhibit 1.01, Exhibit 10.01, Exhibit 10.02, Exhibit 10.03 and Exhibit 10.04, hereto,
respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Offered Shares are being
offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-279061) (the “Registration
