About this update from Ppl Corporation
2026 PROXY REPORT PPL CORPORATION CRAIG A. ROGERSON INDEPENDENT CHAIR OF THE BOARD Message to Our Shareowners Dear Shareowner: On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued investment in PPL Corporation. We are pleased to invite you to our virtual 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareowners. 2025 was a year of consistent execution against the priorities PPL's Board and management set - operationally, financially and strategically. PPL delivered strong operating results, including top-quartile or near-top-quartile electric reliability, top-decile generation performance, better-than-targeted gas leak response times and consistent storm response. Financially, PPL achieved ongoing earnings in line with the midpoint of its 2025 ongoing earnings forecast and increased the common stock dividend from 2024 by approximately 6 percent. At the same time, the company continued to strengthen and modernize its electric and gas systems, executing $4.4 billion of critical infrastructure investments. These investments are focused on protecting the grid from more frequent and severe storms, preparing it for greater two-way power flows from distributed energy resources, building new generation in Kentucky and deploying smart grid technologies that support efficient operations and long-term reliability. As electricity demand grows - driven by data centers and advanced manufacturing -PPL continues to advance solutions that expand supply responsibly while protecting customers. This included creating a joint venture with Blackstone Infrastructure to develop new generation under long-term contracts to serve new data center demand. By aligning new generation with new demand, this approach will support reliability and mitigate upward pressure on electricity prices for other customers while enabling important economic development. The Board continues to emphasize disciplined planning, customer protections and appropriate cost allocation so large new loads bear the costs they create. PPL also continued modernizing its technology and operating platforms to improve customer and employee experiences and further drive efficiency. In 2025, PPL achieved $170 million in annual operations and maintenance savings, compared to the 2021 baseline, to keep energy affordable. PPL is dedicated to supporting the people and places where our employees live and serve. The company and its affiliated foundations contributed more than $15 million in 2025 to organizations and programs working to improve quality of life and help communities thrive. In addition, PPL employees volunteered more than 28,000 hours of their time last year to directly help those in need. The energy industry is changing rapidly, and PPL is well-positioned for what comes next. With an experienced leadership team, engaged Board oversight and more than 6,500 skilled employees, management remains focused on executing the company's Utility of the Future strategy - creating stronger, smarter, cleaner and more efficient utilities that will affordably deliver value for customers and long-term returns for shareowners. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we appreciate your continued support and encourage you to review the proxy materials and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Sincerely, Craig A.

The information contained on, or available through PPL's internet website is not and shall not be deemed to be, incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. Forward-looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "will," "likely," "believe," "expect," "plans," "intends," "may," "strategy," "target," "goals," "anticipate," and other similar words, and include, without limitation, statements about our future goals, strategy, plans, earnings or dividend growth. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Such risks include those contained in PPL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other documents PPL files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks are not comprehensive and given these and other possible risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Any forward-looking statements made by PPL speak only as of the date on which they are made. PPL is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or otherwise. This proxy statement, including the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, contains references to "earnings from ongoing operations" or "ongoing earnings" or "ongoing earnings per share" of PPL. This is a measure of financial performance used by PPL, among other things, in making incentive compensation grants and awards to executive officers. It is not, however, a financial measure prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure adjusts "net income" also known as "reported earnings" (which is a GAAP financial measure) for certain special items, with potential further adjustments for compensation purposes. For a reconciliation of earnings from ongoing operations to reported earnings, as well as a description and itemization of the special items and other adjustments used to derive earnings from ongoing operations for PPL, please see Annex A to this proxy statement.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE HIGHLIGHTS In 2025, PPL continued to advance its utility of the future strategy. Oversight and guidance by our engaged Board of Directors is a driving force to execute on this strategy and our mission to provide safe, affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy to our customers and competitive, long-term returns to our shareowners. Our Board has given significant time and attention to the most material topics for our business, including the priority of our customers and affordability as we power people's homes; PPL's solution-driven approach to resource adequacy particularly with increased demand from artificial intelligence and other large-load customers; the regulatory position of our utilities; our IT Reinvention as we enable a technology-forward OnePPL; and the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and communities. Board refreshment continues to be a thoughtful and involved process, as more senior members of our Board will retire in the coming years. In light of Natica von Althann's forthcoming retirement, our Governance, Nominating and Sustainability Committee has reviewed our board composition based on the skills and experience more fully set forth in "Proposal 1: Election of Directors" beginning on page 6. In March 2026, the Board appointed Linda Sullivan to succeed as Chair of the People and Compensation Committee immediately following the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareowners. In early 2026, the Board of Directors formed an ad hoc committee to provide focused oversight of workplace safety and culture across the company. The Safety Committee is responsible for overseeing management's ongoing safety efforts, receiving regular and direct updates from the company safety executives, and engaging independent safety experts as appropriate. Safety has long been a core value at PPL and is the lead value in our SPIRIT values (Safety, Passion, Innovation, Responsibility, Integrity and Teamwork), and the Board's focus reflects its commitment to PPL's safety culture and reinforcing clear safety expectations in leadership accountability, decision-making and day-to-day operations across the enterprise. In 2025, we continued our ongoing outreach efforts through dialogue with our shareowners. Senior management, including our CEO, EVP-Utilities and Chief Legal Officer (CLO), and independent Chair of the Board participated in this process and discussed the company's strategy including its approach to meeting increased demand and related disclosures; risk oversight; board composition and refreshment; executive compensation; and corporate governance practices.

The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the director nominees will become unavailable for election. If, however, any nominee should become unavailable prior to the Annual Meeting, the accompanying proxy will be voted for the election of such other person as the Board of Directors may recommend in place of that nominee. The proxies appointed by the Board of Directors intend to vote the proxy for the election of each of the nominees unless you indicate otherwise on the proxy or ballot card. Your Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR each director nominee in Proposal 1. GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY BOARD OF DIRECTORS Attendance The Board of Directors met six times during 2025. Directors are expected to attend all meetings of shareowners, the Board and the committees on which they serve. In 2025, director attendance at Board and committee meetings was 100%. In addition, all of our directors attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareowners. Independence of Directors The Board has established guidelines to assist it in determining director independence, which conform to the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, listing standards. In addition to applying these guidelines, which are available in the Corporate Governance section of our website ( https://www.pplweb.com/governance-documents ), the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination, including transactions and relationships between each director or members of the directors' immediate family and the company and its subsidiaries. In 2026, the Board determined that there were no facts or circumstances that would impair the independence of nine of our ten current directors (and eight of our nine director nominees). Accordingly, all of PPL's non-employee directors - Mr. Beattie, Mr. Rajamannar, Ms. Redman, Mr. Rogerson, Ms. Sullivan, Ms. von Althann, Mr. Williamson, Ms. Wood and Mr. Zagalo de Lima - are independent from the company and management pursuant to the Board's independence guidelines. Outside Board and Audit Committee Memberships Directors are expected to ensure that other commitments, including outside board memberships, do not interfere with their duties and responsibilities to the company. Before accepting a position on another public company board, directors notify the Corporate Secretary and the Chair of the GNSC. The Guidelines for Corporate Governance limit directors to serve on no more than three boards of public companies in addition to PPL. For any director who is a public company CEO, the limit is no more than one board of a public company in addition to PPL. Finally, a director who is a member of the Audit Committee may not serve on the audit committees of more than two public companies in addition to the PPL Audit Committee. Executive Sessions; Independent Chair of the Board The independent directors meet in executive sessions without management present during each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Mr. Rogerson presides at these executive sessions as the independent Chair of the Board. Board Leadership Structure Mr. Rogerson has served as independent Chair of the Board since his appointment in March 2021. Prior to the appointment of Mr. Rogerson as independent Chair, the Board had an independent lead director, who provided independent oversight through the independent lead director's significant authority and responsibilities, as more specifically outlined in our Guidelines for Corporate Governance . The Board has considered the appropriate leadership structure and determined that Mr. Rogerson should continue as the independent Chair. The Board recognizes that Mr. Rogerson has substantial knowledge of our company through his longstanding service on our Board and significant organizational, operational and risk management expertise, as well as extensive environmental oversight and board leadership experience. As the independent Chair, Mr. Rogerson engages effectively with management to question, challenge, provide advice and serve as a liaison to the other independent directors. Based on these facts and circumstances, the Board is confident that Mr. Rogerson offers the valuable insight of an independent outside director, who also has a deep understanding of our business, changes to our company, and changes within our industry. The Board will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the Board's leadership structure, including a review of the need or desire for an independent Chair on at least an annual basis, and will make any future decisions based upon the best interests of the company and its shareowners at that time. The Board believes the company and its shareowners are best served by maintaining the flexibility for the Board to determine who should serve in the roles of Chair and CEO, and whether those roles should be combined or separated. Board and Committee Evaluations Annually, the Board and each committee, other than the Executive Committee, evaluate Board and committee performance. For the 2025 Board evaluation, directors completed a questionnaire evaluating topics such as Board dynamics, Board and committee effectiveness and engagement, access to management, agenda requests and similar matters, encouraging a broad range of commentary from each director. The responses and feedback from the questionnaires were summarized and presented to the full Board, then discussed in executive session at its January 2026 meeting. In alternating years (including the 2024 evaluation and expected for the 2026 evaluation), following a review of the aggregated questionnaire responses, the Chair of the GNSC and the independent Chair of the Board meet individually with each Board member to seek additional input. Such conversations allow each director an opportunity to share more detailed feedback, to reflect on Board and committee performance, and to propose adjustments to improve the Board's effectiveness. Each year following the evaluation, the Board and management take appropriate action to address suggestions and feedback received from this process. The responses to the evaluations also inform Board committee assignments and board succession planning. While every Board member is encouraged to provide comments as to the structure and operation of Board committees, each committee conducts its own annual assessment as well. Guidelines for Corporate Governance The full text of our Guidelines for Corporate Governance can be found in the Corporate Governance section of our website ( https://www.pplweb.com/governance-documents ). Communications with the Board Shareowners or other parties interested in communicating with the Board, the independent Chair, any Board member or with the independent directors as a group may write to the person or persons at our current mailing address: c/o Corporate Secretary's Office PPL Corporation Two City Center 645 Hamilton Street Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101 The Corporate Secretary's Office assists the Board with all correspondence, including providing communications to Board members where appropriate, with the general exception of ordinary course business communications from customers and vendors, commercial solicitations, advertisements or obvious "junk" mail. Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls or financial statement fraud are to be brought immediately to the attention of the Corporate Audit group and are handled in accordance with procedures established by the Audit Committee with respect to such matters. Code of Ethics We maintain a code of business conduct and ethics, our Standards of Integrity, which is applicable to all Board members and employees of the company and its subsidiaries, including the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer and the principal accounting officer of the company. You can find the full text of the Standards of Integrity in the Corporate Governance section of our website ( https://www.pplweb.com/governance-documents ), including any amendments. If a waiver constituting a material departure from a provision of the Standards of Integrity is granted to our CEO, CFO or Controller, a description of the nature of the waiver, the name of the person to whom the waiver was granted and the date of the waiver will be posted on PPL's website. Shareowner Engagement We engage with our shareowners throughout the year in a variety of forums involving our directors, senior management, investor relations group, sustainability officer and legal department. We meet with our shareowners in person, by telephone or videoconference and at external venues, and attend conferences and other forums at which shareowners are present. In the fall, we conduct our annual outreach to our largest shareowners, to receive feedback and engage in dialogue. These conversations allow our management and directors to hear directly from shareowners, understand external perspectives, and consider responsive steps by the company. Our engagement covers a broad range of topics, such as the company's strategy and challenges; sustainability disclosures; risk oversight; board composition and refreshment; executive compensation; corporate governance practices; political spending disclosure; human capital management initiatives; community engagement; and culture and workforce development. These exchanges provide us with valuable insight into our shareowners' perspectives and an opportunity to share the company's progress and positions. The input we have received from shareowners has influenced and informed the following actions related to sustainability, corporate governance, and executive compensation: We communicated our utility of the future strategy and our mission to deliver safe, affordable, reliable, sustainable energy to our customers and competitive, long-term returns to shareowners. The company reaffirmed its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, while acknowledging the challenges ahead. We have established clear lines of oversight by our Board, including the oversight of cybersecurity by the full Board of Directors. We identified a peer group for our compensation program, which is regularly reviewed, consisting of 16 publicly-traded utility companies that are comparably sized and operationally similar to PPL. We included long-term sustainability target metrics in executive compensation beginning in 2022, as more fully discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) beginning on page 36. We adopted enterprise-wide policies on the environment, human rights, and health and safety to clearly articulate our commitment in these areas. BOARD COMMITTEES The Board of Directors has five standing committees: Audit Committee; Executive Committee; Finance Committee; Governance, Nominating and Sustainability Committee; and People and Compensation Committee. In February 2026, the Board of Directors created an ad hoc committee, the Safety Committee, to oversee workplace safety performance, strategy, processes and culture throughout PPL and its utilities. Each non-employee director usually serves on two or more committees. Except for the Executive Committee, all of our standing committees are composed entirely of independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE and the company's standards of independence described under the heading "Independence of Directors." In addition, the Board of Directors has designated each member of the Audit Committee as an "audit committee financial expert." (See the biographies of our Audit Committee members within "Proposal 1: Election of Directors" beginning on page 6) Each committee has a charter, all of which are available in the Corporate Governance section of the company's website ( https://www.pplweb.com/governance-documents ). The following table shows the directors who are currently members or chairs of each of the Board committees and the number of meetings each committee held in 2025. Board Committee Membership The Safety Committee was formed in early 2026 and had no meetings in 2025. Designated as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. As described in Proposal 1, Ms. von Althann will complete her Board service in accordance with our director retirement policy in May 2026. Effective immediately following the 2026 Annual Meeting, Ms. Sullivan will serve as Chair of the People and Compensation Committee and become a member of the Executive Committee. Until her retirement immediately prior to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareowners, Ms. von Althann will continue to serve as the Chair of the People and Compensation Committee and as a member of the Finance Committee and Executive Committee.
