NRG Energy, Inc. has announced the launch of a secondary common stock offering, involving 12,300,000 shares of its common stock held by certain affiliates of LS Power. This offering is part of the consideration the selling stockholders received from NRG in connection with the recently closed acquisition of the LS Power portfolio entities on January 30, 2026. Additionally, the selling stockholders have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,845,000 shares of common stock.
Furthermore, NRG has entered into a stock purchase agreement with the selling stockholders to repurchase $300 million of its common stock in a private transaction at the price per share equal to the public offering price. The closing of the share repurchase is expected to be concurrent with the closing of the secondary offering.
