NextEra Energy Partners, LP announces offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026

NextEra Energy Partners, LP today announced an offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Holders may convert all or a portion of their notes at any time prior to their maturity date in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Upon conversion, NextEra Energy Partners will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, NextEra Energy Partners common units or a combination of cash and common units, at NextEra Energy Partners' election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of NextEra Energy Partners' conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted. The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by NextEra Energy Operating Partners, LP, a direct subsidiary of NextEra Energy Partners.

NextEra Energy Partners intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of its previously announced acquisition of a 1,080-megawatt net interest in a renewable portfolio, to repay a portion of the borrowings under the corporate revolving credit facility, to pay the initial cost of the capped call transactions described below and for general partnership purposes.

In connection with the offering of the notes, NextEra Energy Partners intends to enter into one or more capped call transactions with the initial purchaser of the notes or its affiliate or other financial institutions. If, upon conversion of the notes, the price per unit of NextEra Energy Partners common units during the relevant valuation period is above an agreed strike price, the capped call transactions are expected to generally result in a payment to NextEra Energy Partners (if the partnership elects to cash settle) or to reduce the potential dilution to NextEra Energy Partners common units (if the partnership elects to settle in NextEra Energy Partners common units).

The offer and sale of notes, the guarantee and NextEra Energy Partners common units, if any, issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Accordingly, the notes are being offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The notes, the guarantee and NextEra Energy Partners common units issuable upon conversion of the notes are not transferable absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of any such jurisdiction.
