PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(To Prospectus dated February 16, 2024)

PPL Corporation

Common Stock

We may offer and, if applicable, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,000,000,000 under an equity distribution agreement, dated February 14, 2025 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), including pursuant to forward sale agreements entered into pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement.

We have entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement with Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as our agents (each, a “Sales Agent,” and, collectively, the “Sales Agents”), Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (each, in its capacity as purchaser under any forward sale agreement (as described below), a “Forward Purchaser” and collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”) and Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (each, as agent for its affiliated Forward Purchaser in connection with the offering and sale of any shares of our common stock hereunder in connection with a forward sale agreement (as described below), a “Forward Seller” and collectively, the “Forward Sellers”). This prospectus supplement, together with the accompanying prospectus, relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

The shares of our common stock will be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. We will pay each Sales Agent a commission equal to up to 2.0% of the sales price of all shares of our common stock sold through it as our Sales Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

The Equity Distribution Agreement provides that, in addition to the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock by us through or to the Sales Agents, we may also enter into one or more forward sale agreements under the applicable master forward confirmation and the related supplemental confirmation between us and each of the Forward Purchasers. In connection with any forward sale agreement, the relevant Forward Purchaser will borrow from third parties and, through its affiliated Forward Seller, sell a number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the particular forward sale agreement.

In connection with any forward sale agreement, the relevant Forward Seller will receive, in the form of a reduced initial forward sale price under the related forward sale agreement, commissions at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of the gross sales prices of all borrowed shares of our common stock sold during the applicable forward hedge selling period by it as a Forward Seller. In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, each Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to each Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to indemnify each Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser and Forward Seller with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or contribute to payments that such Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PPL.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on February 13, 2025 was $34.41 per share.

Investing in our common stock involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement, page 2 of the accompanying prospectus, and in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus supplement to:

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

Statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement concerning expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements. In addition to the specific factors discussed in “Risk Factors” set forth below and in the accompanying prospectus, in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in “Item 7. Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from the forward-looking statements:

S-iv

S-v

Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with other documents of PPL on file with the SEC.

New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for PPL to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and, except as required by applicable law, PPL undertakes no obligation to update the information contained in such statement to reflect subsequent developments or information.

Investors should note that PPL announces material financial information in SEC filings, press releases and public conference calls. In accordance with SEC guidelines, PPL also uses the Investors section of its website, www.pplweb.com, to communicate with investors.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, you should consider carefully the following factors relating to us and our common stock before making an investment in our common stock offered hereby. In addition to the risk factors set forth below, please read the information included or incorporated by reference under “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. If any of the following risks or those incorporated by reference actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected, which in turn could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. As a result, you may lose all or part of your original investment. You should carefully review the information about these securities set forth in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. As used in this section, “we,” “our,” “us,” “PPL” and the “Company” refer to PPL Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The price of our common stock on the NYSE constantly changes. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate.

Our stock price may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

In addition, in recent years, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect our stock price regardless of our operating results.

The issuance of shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement and any forward sale agreement may be dilutive and there may be future dilution of our common stock.

The issuance of common stock in this offering, as well as any shares issued by us in connection with a physical or net share settlement in respect of a forward sale agreement, the receipt of the expected net proceeds and the use of those proceeds, may have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share. The actual amount of dilution cannot be determined at this time and will be based on numerous factors. We are not restricted from issuing additional securities in the future, including common stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive shares of common stock or any substantially similar securities. The

S-4

market price of our common stock could decline as a result of issuances or sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market after this offering or the perception that such issuances or sales could occur. Additionally, future issuances or sales of a large number of shares of our common stock may be at prices below the offering price of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement and may adversely impact the market price of our common stock.

Provisions contained in a forward sale agreement could result in substantial dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity or result in substantial cash payment obligations.

If we enter into one or more forward sale agreements, the relevant Forward Purchaser will have the right to accelerate its forward sale agreement (with respect to all or any portion of the transaction under such forward sale agreement that the Forward Purchaser determines is affected by an event described below) and require us to physically settle on a date specified by such Forward Purchaser if:

A Forward Purchaser’s decision to exercise its right to accelerate any forward sale agreement and to require us to physically settle any such forward sale agreement will be made irrespective of our interests, including our need for capital. In such cases, we could be required to issue and deliver shares of our common stock under the terms of the physical settlement provisions of the applicable forward sale agreement irrespective of our capital needs, which would result in dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity.

We expect that settlement of any forward sale agreement will generally occur no later than the date specified in the particular forward sale agreement, which will be no earlier than one (1) month or later than twenty-four (24) months following the trade date of that forward sale agreement. However, any forward sale agreement may be settled earlier than that specified date in whole or in part at our option. Subject to certain conditions, we have the right to elect physical, cash or net share settlement under any forward sale agreement. Although we intend to settle each forward sale agreement entirely by delivery of shares of our common stock, we may, subject to certain conditions, elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of our obligations under such forward sale agreement if we conclude that it is in our interest to do so. For example, we may conclude that it is in our interest to cash settle or net share settle a particular forward sale agreement if we have no then-current use for all or a portion of the net proceeds that we would receive upon physical settlement. Delivery of shares of

S-5

our common stock upon physical settlement (or, if we elect net share settlement of a particular forward sale agreement, upon such settlement to the extent we are obligated to deliver shares of our common stock) will result in dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity. If we elect cash settlement or net share settlement with respect to all or a portion of the number of shares of our common stock underlying a particular forward sale agreement, we expect the applicable Forward Purchaser (or an affiliate thereof) to purchase a number of shares of our common stock in secondary market transactions over an unwind period to:

The purchase of shares of our common stock in connection with a Forward Purchaser or its affiliate unwinding such Forward Purchaser’s hedge positions could cause the price of our common stock to increase over such time (or prevent a decrease over such time), thereby increasing the amount of cash we would owe to such Forward Purchaser (or decreasing the amount of cash that such Forward Purchaser would owe us) upon a cash settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement or increasing the number of shares of our common stock we would deliver to such Forward Purchaser (or decreasing the number of shares of our common stock that such Forward Purchaser would deliver to us) upon net share settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement.

If the volume-weighted average price at which a particular Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) is able to purchase (or is deemed able to purchase) shares of our common stock during the applicable unwind period under that particular forward sale agreement is above the relevant forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would pay the relevant Forward Purchaser in respect of such forward sale agreement an amount in cash equal to the difference or, in the case of net share settlement, we would deliver to such Forward Purchaser a number of shares of our common stock having a value equal to the difference. Thus, we could be responsible for a potentially substantial cash payment in the case of cash settlement. If the volume-weighted average price at which a particular Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) is able to purchase (or is deemed able to purchase) shares of our common stock during the applicable unwind period under that particular forward sale agreement is below the relevant forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would be paid the difference in cash by the relevant Forward Purchaser in respect of such forward sale agreement or, in the case of net share settlement, we would receive from such Forward Purchaser a number of shares of our common stock having a value equal to the difference. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” for information on the forward sale agreements.

The forward sale price that we expect to receive upon physical settlement of a particular forward sale agreement will be subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread and will be decreased based on amounts related to expected dividends on our common stock during the term of the applicable forward sale agreement. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than the spread for a particular forward sale agreement on any day, the interest factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale price.

In case of our bankruptcy or insolvency, any forward sale agreement that is in effect will automatically terminate, and we would not receive the expected proceeds from any forward sales of shares of our common stock.

If we or a regulatory authority with jurisdiction over us institutes, or we consent to, a proceeding seeking a judgment in bankruptcy or insolvency or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or we or a regulatory authority with jurisdiction over us presents a petition for our winding-up or liquidation, or we consent to such a petition, any forward sale agreement that is then in effect will automatically terminate. If any such forward sale agreement so terminates under these circumstances, we would not be obligated to deliver to the relevant Forward Purchaser any shares of our common stock not previously

S-6

delivered, and the relevant Forward Purchaser would be discharged from its obligation to pay the applicable forward sale price per share in respect of any shares of our common stock not previously settled under the applicable forward sale agreement. Therefore, to the extent that there are any shares of our common stock with respect to which any forward sale agreement has not been settled at the time of the commencement of any such bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up or liquidation proceedings, we would not receive the relevant forward sale price per share in respect of those shares of our common stock.

S-7

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, (x) from this offering, after deducting the Sales Agents’ commissions and our offering expenses and (y) payable upon settlement of any forward sale agreement, in each case, for general corporate purposes.

We will not initially receive any proceeds from any sales of our common stock by a Forward Seller in connection with any forward sale agreement. We intend to physically settle each forward sale agreement entirely by delivery of shares of our common stock, in which case we will expect to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the product of the forward sale price per share under that particular forward sale agreement and the number of shares of our common stock underlying the particular forward sale agreement. The forward sale price that we expect to receive upon physical settlement of a particular forward sale agreement initially will be equal to the gross sales prices of all borrowed shares of our common stock sold by the relevant Forward Seller during the applicable forward hedge selling period less a forward hedge selling commission of up to 2.0% of the gross sales prices of all borrowed shares of our common stock sold during the applicable forward hedge selling period by it as Forward Seller. The forward sale price will be subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread and will be decreased based on amounts related to expected dividends on our common stock during the term of the particular forward sale agreement. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than the spread for a particular forward sale agreement on any day, the interest factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale price. If we elect to net share settle any particular forward sale agreement, we will not receive any proceeds upon settlement of such forward sale agreement. If we elect to cash settle any particular forward sale agreement, we may receive substantially less (or no) cash proceeds at settlement of such forward sale agreement, and we may owe cash to the forward purchaser under such forward sale agreement.

If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any Forward Purchaser, we expect that the affiliated Forward Seller will attempt to sell borrowed shares of our common stock to hedge such Forward Purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. All of the net proceeds from the sale of any such borrowed shares of our common stock will be paid to the applicable Forward Purchaser. Such entity will be either a Sales Agent or an affiliate of a Sales Agent. As a result, a Sales Agent or one of its affiliates will receive the net proceeds from any sale of borrowed shares of our common stock made in connection with any forward sale agreement. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest).”

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

The following are the material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of your ownership and disposition of our common stock acquired in this offering if you are a “non-U.S. holder’’ (as defined below) that holds our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to the exceptions set forth below, you are a non-U.S. holder if for U.S. federal income tax purposes you are a beneficial owner of our common stock and you are:

You are not a non-U.S. holder, however, if you are a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year in which you sell any of our common stock or if you are a former citizen or former resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which event you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock.

If you are a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and your activities.

This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date hereof may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax and Medicare contribution tax consequences, and does not address any aspect of state, local, or non-U.S. taxation, or any taxes other than income and estate taxes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the application of the U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Dividends

In general, distributions paid on our common stock will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that these distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitute a return of capital that is applied against, and will first reduce, your basis in our common stock, but not below zero, and any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of such stock, as described below under “Gain on Disposition of Our Common Stock.”

Distributions taxable to you as dividends will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax (currently at a rate of 30%) unless you provide to the applicable withholding agent an appropriate Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 documenting your entitlement to an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, withholding tax.

If you receive dividend payments on our common stock that are “effectively connected” with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States), you will generally be taxed on the dividends in the same manner as a U.S. person. However, you will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding on these dividends, as long as you provide an IRS Form W-8ECI to the applicable withholding agent. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock, including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate) if you are a corporation.

S-9

Gain on Disposition of Our Common Stock

You generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” (as defined in the Code) equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. It is possible that we may be or become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In the event that we are or become a USRPHC, as long as our common stock continues to be “regularly traded on an established securities market” within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations, you will be subject to tax on any gain recognized on a disposition of our common stock as if it were effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (as described in the next paragraph) only if you actually or constructively owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition and your holding period for the stock, more than 5% of our common stock. If we are or were to become a USRPHC and our common stock were not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market in the year of the disposition, then, regardless of the percentage of stock owned, you would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any resulting gain (as described above), and in addition a 15% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds from the disposition.

If you recognize gain on a sale or other disposition of our common stock that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States), you will generally be taxed on the gain in the same manner as a U.S. person. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock, including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate) if you are a corporation.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends on our common stock. Unless you comply with certification procedures to establish that you are not a United States person, information returns may also be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock. You may be subject to backup withholding on payments on our common stock or on the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock unless you comply with certification procedures to establish that you are not a United States person or otherwise establish an exemption. The certification procedures required to claim a reduction or exemption from withholding tax on dividends described above will avoid backup withholding as well. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

If you are an individual non-U.S. person or an entity the property of which is potentially includible in an individual non-U.S. person’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by a

S-10

non-U.S. individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), absent an applicable treaty exemption, our common stock will be treated as U.S.-situs property and potentially subject to U.S. federal estate tax.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance

Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as “FATCA”), a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax may apply to any dividends paid on our common stock to (i) a “foreign financial institution” (as specifically defined in the Code) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) its compliance (or deemed compliance) with FATCA (which may alternatively be in the form of compliance with an intergovernmental agreement with the United States) in a manner which avoids withholding, or (ii) a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specifically defined in the Code) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) adequate information regarding certain substantial U.S. beneficial owners of such entity (if any). Under proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, which state that taxpayers may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued, FATCA withholding will not apply to the gross proceeds from any sale or disposition of our common stock. If a dividend payment is both subject to withholding under FATCA and subject to the 30% withholding tax discussed above, the withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these requirements and whether they may be relevant to your ownership and disposition of our common stock.

S-11

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of shares of our common stock by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plans, individual retirement accounts (“IRAs” each, an “IRA”) and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, “Similar Laws”), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan, plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”).

General Fiduciary Matters

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

In considering an investment in shares of our common stock of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

Prohibited Transaction Issues

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code.

The acquisition of the shares of our common stock by an ERISA Plan with respect to which PPL, the Sales Agents or their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Transaction Parties”) is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the shares are acquired and held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or “PTCEs,” that may apply to the acquisition and holding of shares of our common stock. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions, provided that neither the party in interest or disqualified person nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of any ERISA Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the ERISA Plan pays no more than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. Each of the above-noted exemptions contain conditions and limitations on its application. Fiduciaries of ERISA Plans considering acquiring shares of our

S-12

common stock in reliance on these or any other exemption should carefully review the exemption to assure that it is applicable. There can be no assurance that any such exemptions will be available, or that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied, with respect to transactions involving shares of our common stock.

Representation

By acceptance of shares of our common stock, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of shares of our common stock will be deemed to have represented, warranted and acknowledged that either (i) it is not, and is not acting on behalf of or with the assets of, a Plan or (ii)(A) its purchase, holding and subsequent disposition of shares of our common stock will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or violation under any applicable Similar Laws, and (B) none of the Transaction Parties is undertaking to provide investment recommendations or investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the acquisition of shares of our common stock (unless a statutory or administrative exemption applies (all of the applicable conditions of which are satisfied) or the transaction is not otherwise prohibited).

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering purchasing shares of our common stock on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the purchase and holding of shares of our common stock. Neither this discussion nor anything in this prospectus supplement is or is intended to be investment advice directed at any potential purchaser that is a Plan or at such purchasers generally, and such purchasers should consult and rely on their counsel and advisers as to whether an investment in shares of our common stock is suitable and consistent with ERISA, the Code and any Similar Laws, as applicable.

S-13

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

We have entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement, dated February 14, 2025, with the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers and Forward Sellers, under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,000,000,000 from time to time through or to the Sales Agents, as our sales agents and/or principals, or pursuant to forward sale agreements under the applicable master forward confirmation we entered into with the Forward Purchasers. In no event will the aggregate shares of our common stock offered, and if applicable, sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement, including pursuant to the forward sale agreements, have an aggregate offering price in excess of $2,000,000,000.

The sales, if any, of shares of our common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law including, without limitation, an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, or sales made to or through a market maker at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In addition, our common stock may be offered and sold by such other methods, including privately negotiated transactions (including block sales), as we and the Sales Agents may agree.

The Equity Distribution Agreement provides that, in addition to the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock by us through the Sales Agents, as our sales agents and/or principals, we may also enter into one or more forward sale agreements under the applicable master forward confirmation and the related supplemental confirmation between us and each of the Forward Purchasers. In connection with any forward sale agreement, the relevant Forward Purchaser will borrow from third parties and, through its affiliated Forward Seller, sell a number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares of our common stock underlying such forward sale agreement.

Sales of our common stock as contemplated by this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we, the Sales Agents, or the Forward Sellers may agree upon. In connection with any sale of shares of our common stock hereunder, each Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to each Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to indemnify each Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser and Forward Seller with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or contribute to payments that such Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of our common stock sold through or to the Sales Agents, as sales agents and/or principals, in at-the-market offerings and the net proceeds received by us in connection with such sales of our common stock.

We have agreed to pay certain fees, costs and expenses of external counsel to the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers and Forward Sellers in connection with the Equity Distribution Agreement and the offering hereby, including in connection with initial documentation of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement and certain fees and expenses in connection with continuing due diligence. These reimbursed fees and expenses are deemed to be underwriting compensation to the Sales Agents under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5110.

We have represented to the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers and Forward Sellers, that our common stock is an “actively traded security” exempted from the requirements of Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act by Rule 101(c)(1) thereunder. If the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers, Forward Sellers, or we have reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied, that party will promptly notify the others and sales of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement will be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers, Forward Sellers and us.

S-14

The offering of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all of our common stock subject to the Equity Distribution Agreement and (2) termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement by either us or, with respect to any Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller, such Sales Agent, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller at any time in the respective party’s sole discretion, provided, however, that the Equity Distribution Agreement and the obligations thereunder will remain in full force and effect with respect to the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers and Forward Sellers that have not so terminated their obligations.

The Equity Distribution Agreement provides that we may also in the future enter into one or more terms agreements with one or more of the Sales Agents from time to time, on terms mutually satisfactory to us and such Sales Agent, to the extent we determine to sell shares of our common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement directly to such Sales Agent as principal.

The expenses in connection with the initiation of the at-the-market offering incurred by the Company, excluding sale commissions, are estimated at $1 million and are payable by us.

Sales Through Sales Agents

From time to time during the term of the Equity Distribution Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, we may deliver instructions to any of the Sales Agents. Upon receipt of such instructions from us, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, each Sales Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the amount of shares of our common stock specified in our instructions. We or the relevant Sales Agent may suspend the offering of shares of our common stock at any time upon proper notice to the other, upon which the selling period will immediately terminate. Settlement for sales of shares of our common stock will occur on the first trading day following the date on which the sales were made unless another date shall be agreed to in writing by us and the relevant Sales Agent. The obligation of any Sales Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement to sell shares of our common stock pursuant to our instructions is subject to a number of conditions, which such Sales Agent reserves the right to waive in its sole discretion.

We will pay each Sales Agent a commission equal to up to 2.0% of the sales price of all shares of our common stock sold through it as our agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Sales Through the Forward Sellers

From time to time during the term of the Equity Distribution Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and in the related master forward confirmation, we may deliver a forward placement notice relating to a forward sale to any of the Forward Purchasers and the applicable Forward Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement and the applicable forward sale agreement, the Forward Purchaser or its affiliate will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to borrow, and the affiliated Forward Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell, the borrowed shares of our common stock on such terms to hedge such Forward Purchaser’s exposure under that particular forward sale agreement. We or the relevant Forward Seller may immediately suspend or terminate the offer and sale of shares of our common stock in respect of a forward sale agreement at any time upon proper notice to the other.

In connection with each forward sale agreement, the relevant Forward Seller will receive, in the form of a reduced initial forward sale price under the related forward sale agreement with the related Forward Purchaser, commissions at a mutually agreed percentage of the gross sales price of all borrowed shares of our common stock sold during the applicable forward hedge selling period by it as Forward Seller. We refer to this commission rate as the forward selling commission. The forward selling commission will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0%. The forward hedge selling period will be the period of consecutive trading days determined by us in our sole discretion and as specified in the relevant forward placement notice.

S-15

The forward sale price per share under each forward sale agreement will initially equal the product of (1) an amount equal to one minus the applicable forward selling commission and (2) the volume-weighted average price per share at which the borrowed shares of our common stock were sold pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement by the relevant Forward Seller. Thereafter, the forward sale price will be subject to adjustment as described below.

The forward sale agreements, the terms of which may not be less than one (1) month or more than twenty-four (24) months, will provide that the forward sale price, as well as the sales prices used to calculate the initial forward sale price, will be 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 our common stock during the term of the particular forward sale agreement. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than the spread for a particular forward sale agreement on any day, the interest factor will result in a daily reduction of the forward sale price.

Except under limited circumstances described below, we have the right to elect physical, cash or net share settlement under any forward sale agreement. Although we intend to settle each forward sale agreement entirely by delivering shares of our common stock in connection with full physical settlement, we may, subject to certain conditions, elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under a particular forward sale agreement if we conclude that it is in our interest to do so. For example, we may conclude that it is in our interest to cash settle or net share settle a particular forward sale agreement if we have no then-current use for all or a portion of the net proceeds that we would receive upon physical settlement. In addition, subject to certain conditions, we may elect to accelerate the settlement of all or a portion of the number of shares of our common stock underlying a particular forward sale agreement.

If we elect to physically settle any forward sale agreement, we will receive an amount of cash from the relevant Forward Purchaser equal to the product of the forward sale price per share under that particular forward sale agreement and the number of shares of our common stock underlying the particular forward sale agreement. If we elect cash settlement or net share settlement with respect to all or a portion of the number of shares of our common stock underlying a forward sale agreement, we expect the applicable Forward Purchaser (or an affiliate thereof) to purchase a number of shares of our common stock in secondary market transactions over an unwind period to:

If the volume-weighted average price at which a particular Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) is able to purchase (or is deemed able to purchase) shares of our common stock during the applicable unwind period under that particular forward sale agreement is above the relevant forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would pay the relevant Forward Purchaser in respect of such forward sale agreement an amount in cash equal to the difference or, in the case of net share settlement, we would deliver to such Forward Purchaser a number of shares of our common stock having a value equal to the difference. Thus, we could be responsible for a potentially substantial cash payment in the case of cash settlement. If the volume-weighted average price at which a particular Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) is able to purchase (or is deemed able to purchase) shares of our common stock during the applicable unwind period under that particular forward sale agreement is below the relevant forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would be paid the difference in cash by the relevant Forward Purchaser in respect of such forward sale agreement or, in the case of net share settlement, we would receive from such Forward Purchaser a number of shares of our common stock having a value equal to the difference.

S-16

In addition, the purchase of shares of our common stock in connection with the relevant Forward Purchaser or its affiliate unwinding such Forward Purchaser’s hedge positions could cause the price of our common stock to increase over such time (or prevent a decrease over such time), thereby increasing the amount of cash we would owe to such Forward Purchaser (or decreasing the amount of cash that such Forward Purchaser would owe us) upon a cash settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement or increasing the number of shares of our common stock we would deliver to such Forward Purchaser (or decreasing the number of shares of our common stock that such Forward Purchaser would deliver to us) upon net share settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement. See “Risk Factors.”

Each Forward Purchaser will have the right to accelerate its forward sale agreement (with respect to all or any portion of the transaction under such forward sale agreement that such Forward Purchaser determines is affected by such event) and require us to physically settle on a date specified by such Forward Purchaser if (1) in such Forward Purchaser’s good faith commercially reasonable judgment, it or its affiliate (x) is unable to hedge its exposure under such forward sale agreement because an insufficient number of shares of our common stock have been made available for borrowing by securities lenders or (y) would incur a stock loan cost in excess of a specified threshold to hedge its exposure under such forward sale agreement; (2) we declare any dividend, issue or distribution on shares of our common stock (a) payable in cash in excess of specified amounts (unless it is an extraordinary dividend), (b) payable in securities of another company that we acquire or own (directly or indirectly) as a result of a spin-off or similar transaction, or (c) of any other type of securities (other than shares of our common stock), rights, warrants or other assets, for payment at less than the prevailing market price as reasonably determined by such Forward Purchaser; (3) certain ownership thresholds applicable to such Forward Purchaser and its affiliates are exceeded; (4) an event is announced that if consummated would result in a specified extraordinary event (including certain mergers or tender offers, as well as certain events involving our nationalization or insolvency or a delisting of shares of our common stock) or the occurrence of a change in law under the forward sale agreement; or (5) certain other events of default or termination events occur, including, among others, any material misrepresentation made in connection with such forward sale agreement (each as more fully described in each forward sale agreement). A Forward Purchaser’s decision to exercise its right to accelerate any forward sale agreement and to require us to physically settle any such forward sale agreement will be made irrespective of our interests, including our need for capital. In such cases, we could be required to issue and deliver shares of our common stock under the terms of the physical settlement provisions of the applicable forward sale agreement irrespective of our capital needs, which would result in dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity. In addition, upon certain insolvency filings or reorganization relating to us, the forward sale agreement will automatically terminate without further liability of either party. Following any such termination, we would not deliver any shares of our common stock and we would not receive any proceeds pursuant to the forward sale agreement. See “Risk Factors.”

Relationships with Sales Agents

The Sales Agents and their respective affiliates are full-service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, financing and brokerage activities.

Certain of the Sales Agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions and reimbursement of expenses for these transactions. Affiliates of certain Sales Agents are lenders and/or agents under our credit facility, and certain Sales Agents and their affiliates may from time to time hold our securities for their own account. To the extent we use the net proceeds of this offering to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our existing credit facility or any of our securities, such Sales Agents or affiliates thereof, as applicable, will receive a pro rata portion of such payments. Certain of the Sales Agents have acted as underwriters for certain of our securities. Certain of the Sales Agents or their affiliates routinely hedge, certain of the Sales Agents or their affiliates are likely to hedge or

S-17

otherwise reduce, and certain other of the Sales Agents or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these Sales Agents and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of our securities. Certain of the Sales Agents or their affiliates are customers of ours and engage in transactions with us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

You should be aware that the laws and practices of certain countries require investors to pay stamp

taxes and other charges in connection with purchases of securities.

Conflicts of Interest

The Forward Purchasers (or their respective affiliates) will receive the net proceeds of any sale of borrowed shares of our common stock sold pursuant to this prospectus supplement in connection with any forward sale agreement. Because certain Sales Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers or their respective affiliates are expected to receive part of the net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in connection with any forward sale agreement, such Sales Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers would be deemed to have a conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121 to the extent such Sales Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers or their affiliates receive at least 5% of the net proceeds of the offering. Any Sales Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser deemed to have a conflict of interest would be required to conduct the distribution of our common stock in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121. If the offering is conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, such Sales Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser would not be permitted to confirm a sale to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without first receiving specific written approval from the account holder. The appointment of a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in FINRA Rule 5121) is not necessary for this offering because the shares of common stock being offered have a “bona fide public market” (as defined in FINRA Rule 5121).

Other Relationships

If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any Forward Purchaser, we expect that the affiliated Forward Seller will attempt to sell borrowed shares of our common stock to hedge such Forward Purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. All of the net proceeds from the sale of any such borrowed shares of our common stock will be paid to the applicable Forward Purchaser. Such entity will be either a Sales Agent or an affiliate of a Sales Agent. As a result, a Sales Agent or one of its affiliates will receive the net proceeds from any sale of borrowed shares of our common stock made in connection with any forward sale agreement.

In addition, from time to time, certain of the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers, Forward Sellers and their respective affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers, Forward Sellers and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company. The Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers, Forward Sellers and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

No Public Offering Outside of the United States

Accordingly, the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the shares of our common stock may not be distributed or published, in or from any country or jurisdiction except in compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the securities, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measures implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State; and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the shares of our common stock in any Relevant Member State will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the shares of our common stock. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer in that Relevant Member State of the shares of our common stock which are the subject of the transactions contemplated by this prospectus supplement may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or any of the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers or Forward Sellers to produce a prospectus for such offer pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither we nor the Sales Agents, Forward Purchasers or Forward Sellers have authorized, or hereby authorize, the making of any offer of the shares of our common stock in circumstances in which an obligation arises for us or any of the Sales Agents to publish a prospectus for such offer.

Any resale of the shares must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Pursuant to section 3A.3 (or, in the case of securities issued or guaranteed by the government of a non-Canadian jurisdiction, section 3A.4) of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (NI 33-105), the Sales Agents are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding Sales Agent conflicts of interest in connection with this offering.

No advertisement, invitation or document relating to the shares may be issued or may be in the possession of any person for the purposes of issue, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to shares which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance and any rules made under that Ordinance.
