- The agreement involves several major financial institutions as managers, forward purchasers, and forward sellers, including Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. It also includes their banking affiliates as forward purchasers.
- To date, shares of common stock with an aggregate gross sales price of approximately \$630 million have been offered and sold under the agreement.

- The summary provided does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation to buy shares in jurisdictions where such actions would be unlawful.
Price Sensitive Information for Shareholders:
- The continued availability of \$270 million worth of shares for sale is a significant liquidity event. The sale of additional shares could dilute existing shareholdings, potentially affecting the share price.
- The involvement of multiple major financial institutions in the equity distribution agreement reflects robust demand and strong institutional support, which could be viewed positively by the market.
- The Company’s use of forward sellers and forward purchasers indicates the possibility of forward sale agreements, which can impact the timing and pricing of share issuance and may affect volatility and liquidity in the stock.
- Investors should note that this filing does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful, meaning there are regulatory limitations that may impact the timing or scope of the offering.
Additional Details:
- The trading symbol for Pinnacle West Capital Corporation’s common stock is PNW, and it is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
- No written communications, soliciting material, or pre-commencement tender offer communications are intended as part of this Form 8-K filing.
- The Company is not classified as an emerging growth company under SEC rules.
- Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Andrew Cooper signed the document on behalf of Pinnacle West Capital Corporation, with signatures from representatives of all the major financial institutions involved.
Potential Impact on Share Price:
- The announcement of the First Amendment and remaining shares available for sale may be viewed as price-sensitive, as further equity issuance could dilute existing shareholders but may also provide the Company with additional capital to fund growth or improve its balance sheet.
- The scale and structure of the agreement, particularly the use of forward sales, may influence investor perception regarding the Company’s future capital needs and financing strategy.
