This definitive proxy statement (DEF 14A) outlines the agenda for NuScale Power's upcoming Annual Meeting, including the election of two new directors and the departure of one. Most notably, the filing provides full disclosure on an amendment to the Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) from November 2025, which significantly increases NuScale's share of future tax savings from 15% to 57.5%, while reducing Fluor's share. Although the TRA implies a substantial potential obligation of $582.1 million, the company currently assesses this liability as "not probable" given its tax situation, which is a positive financial clarification. The filing also corrects previously reported "Pay versus Performance" data for 2022-2024, enhancing transparency.
