05:50 AM EST, 11/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- PPL (PPL) subsidiary PPL Capital Funding said Wednesday that it priced $1 billion of its 3% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2030 in a private placement.

The company also granted the initial purchasers a 13-day option to buy up to an additional $150 million of notes. Sale of the notes is expected to settle on Monday.

The notes will be exchangeable at an initial rate of 23.4412 common shares per $1,000 of notes, equivalent to an initial exchange price of about $42.66 per share.

The company said it plans to use the net proceeds to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
