• Secondary Offering Detailed

  Selling stockholders (LS Power affiliates) are offering approximately 12.3 million shares for resale, as indicated in a Free Writing Prospectus filed concurrently. The company will not receive any proceeds from these sales.

• Concurrent Share Repurchase

  NRG Energy will repurchase $300 million of its common stock from the selling stockholders in a privately negotiated transaction, expected to close concurrently with the offering. This repurchase will reduce the net increase in shares in the public float.

• Lock-up Waiver Granted

  NRG waived the lock-up on all 24,250,000 shares issued in the LSP Transaction, enabling this offering. A new 45-day lock-up period applies to any remaining shares not sold in this offering or the repurchase.

• Context of LSP Acquisition

  The shares being sold were part of the consideration for the $10.58 billion LSP Portfolio acquisition, which was completed on January 30, 2026.

This 424B7 prospectus supplement provides the formal terms for a secondary offering by LS Power affiliates, previously announced via an FWP on the same day. The offering allows LS Power to monetize a portion of the 24.25 million shares received as consideration for the LSP Portfolio acquisition completed on January 30, 2026. While the sale of shares by selling stockholders increases the public float, NRG's concurrent $300 million share repurchase from these same selling stockholders mitigates some of the potential dilutive impact and signals management's confidence in the company's valuation. The company will not receive any proceeds from the secondary offering itself.
