OGE Energy's At-the-Market Program: Structure and Key Terms

OGE Energy Corp. (NYSE:OGE) disclosed the launch of an at-the-market equity offering program through an 8-K filed October 28, 2026. Under an equity distribution agreement of the same date, shares of OGE common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $750,000,000 may be offered and sold from time to time through a group of agents and, separately, through forward sellers acting on behalf of forward purchasers. The filing states that actual sales "will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding."

The filing describes a forward sale component under which, at the company's request, a relevant Forward Purchaser or its affiliate will borrow shares from third parties and sell them through the relevant Forward Seller. The company disclosed that it "will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of borrowed shares by a Forward Seller." Upon physical settlement with the relevant Forward Purchaser on dates specified by the company, the company expects to receive "per share cash proceeds at settlement equal to the forward sale price under the relevant forward sale agreement." The filing also notes that the company may elect cash settlement or net share settlement, in which cases it "may not receive any proceeds" or "will not receive any proceeds," respectively, and may owe cash or shares to the relevant Forward Purchaser.

Sales under the agreement may occur through privately negotiated transactions, block trades, ordinary brokers' transactions through NYSE facilities, transactions through a market maker or electronic communications network, at market prices or negotiated prices, or through forward purchases. The filing notes that no agent or forward seller is required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of common stock. The company may suspend solicitation and offers or terminate the agreement at any time. Affiliates of certain agents are also disclosed as lenders under the company's existing credit facilities.
