The merger creates the dominant regulated utility platform with unmatched scale and growth optionality. The spread between D's current price and the implied NEE-based consideration will track regulatory and shareholder approval timelines. Key catalysts: filing of S-4/joint proxy, shareholder votes, and FERC/NRC/state approvals over the next 12-18 months. The $4.83B regulatory reverse termination fee provides downside protection for D shareholders if regulators block the deal.

Financial Impact
