Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As discussed in the Introductory Note above, on January 7, 2026, CEG Parent and Constellation completed the previously announced transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) on January 2, 2026, Calpine, New Company and Company Merger Sub completed an internal reorganization pursuant to which Company Merger Sub merged with and into Calpine, with Calpine surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Company and the holders of Company Common Shares and Company Restricted Stock Units becoming holders of Common Shares and Restricted Stock Units of New Company (“RSUs”), and on January 5, 2026, Calpine converted into a Delaware limited liability company (the “Reorganization”), (ii) on January 7, 2026, at the First Effective Time, First Merger Sub merged with and into New Company, with New Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation and (iii) on January 7, 2026, at the Second Effective Time, New Company merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation (clauses (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Reorganization and the Mergers, Calpine became a wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation.

The merger consideration consisted of (i) an aggregate of 50,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock, no par value, of CEG Parent (the “Stock Consideration”) and (ii) $4.50 billion in cash minus the amount of Company Expenses. As a result of the Mergers, the former stockholders of Calpine received approximately 13.8% of the outstanding CEG Parent common stock in the aggregate based upon the outstanding shares of CEG Parent common stock as of January 6, 2026.

In connection with closing of the Mergers, outstanding Calpine equity-based awards were treated as follows:

At the First Effective Time, each outstanding RSU issued by New Company in respect of Company Restricted Stock Units issued by Calpine pursuant to the Calpine Corporation 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (whether vested or unvested) was fully vested, canceled and converted into the right to receive, in respect of each such RSU: (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration, without interest, (ii) the Per Share Stock Consideration, (iii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of CEG Parent common stock was paid in accordance with the Merger Agreement and (iv) an amount in cash (without interest and less any applicable taxes required to be withheld) equal to any dividend equivalents with respect to such RSU that were unpaid as of the First Effective Time (which amounts in respect of such dividend equivalents were first satisfied from any escrow account related thereto).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 13, 2025 (File No. 001-41137) and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about CEG Parent, Constellation, Calpine or any other party. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties thereto made to each other as of a specific date. The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and the transactions and agreements contemplated thereby among the respective parties thereto and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties thereto in connection with negotiating the terms thereof and are not intended to, and do not, confer upon any person other than the parties thereto any rights or remedies thereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth therein. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement rather than establishing matters as facts.

This combined Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished separately by Constellation Energy Corporation and Constellation Energy Generation, LLC, (collectively, the “Registrants”). Information contained herein relating to one of the Registrants has been furnished by such Registrant on its own behalf. Neither Registrant makes any representation as to information relating to the other Registrant.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Words such as “could,” “may,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “will,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “predicts,” and variations on such words, and similar expressions that reflect the Registrants’ current views with respect to future events and operational, economic, and financial performance, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the pro forma combined company and its operations, strategies, plans, synergies, opportunities and anticipated future performance and capital structure. Information adjusted for the Mergers should not be considered a forecast of future results. Although the Registrants believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable, statements made regarding future results are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous assumptions, uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and assumptions that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from the results stated or implied in the forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to the risk that problems may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of the companies, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected, and the risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve synergies or other anticipated benefits of the Mergers or it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies or benefits. Other unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made by the Registrants include those factors discussed herein, as well as the items discussed in (1) the Registrants’ 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K in (a) Part I, ITEM 1A. Risk Factors, (b) Part II, ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and (c) Part II, ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data: Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies; (2) the Registrants’ Third Quarter 2025 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in (a) Part II, ITEM 1A. Risk Factors, (b) Part I, ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and (c) Part I, ITEM 1. Financial Statements: Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies; and (3) other factors discussed in filings with the SEC by the Registrants.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, which apply only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Neither Registrant undertakes any obligation to publicly release any revision to its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
