NextEra Energy (NEE) VP/Controller William Gough Receives Awards

What Happened
William John Gough, VP, Controller & CAO of NextEra Energy (NEE), received equity awards on Feb 12, 2026 and was subject to share-withholding to cover taxes. He was granted 2,178 restricted shares and 1,622 shares in settlement of performance awards (total 3,800 shares), plus a derivative credit of 41 phantom/SMCA shares and an option award covering 4,486 shares. To satisfy tax withholding, 394 shares were withheld/treated as disposed on Feb 12 at $91.93 ($36,220) and 101 shares were withheld/treated as disposed on Feb 15 at $93.80 ($9,474). The option award (4,486 shares) vests in three substantially equal annual installments beginning Feb 15, 2027.

Key Details

  • Transaction dates: awards dated Feb 12, 2026; tax-withholding dispositions Feb 12 and Feb 15, 2026. Form 4 filed Feb 17, 2026.
  • Prices/values: 394 shares withheld @ $91.93 = $36,220; 101 shares withheld @ $93.80 = $9,474; other awards reported at $0 acquisition price (usual for restricted/award grants).
  • Counts: 3,800 shares received (non-derivative awards), 4,527 derivative items credited (4,486 option award + 41 SMCA phantom shares), 495 shares withheld/disposed for taxes.
  • Footnotes: restricted stock grants and performance-share settlements made under NextEra’s LTIP (Rule 16b-3 exemptions). 41 derivative units are annual phantom SMCA credits (cash payable on termination). The 4,486 options vest over three years starting Feb 15, 2027. The filing notes 11 dividend-reinvestment shares included since last report.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing.
  • Timeliness: Form 4 was filed Feb 17 for Feb 12 transactions — beyond the typical 2-business-day filing window (i.e., appears late).

Context
These awards are routine compensation actions (restricted stock, performance-share settlement, deferred/phantom credits, and option grants). The withheld/disposed shares were used to cover tax obligations (not an open-market sale for investment reasons). The option grant is not immediately exercisable—vesting begins Feb 15, 2027—so there was no immediate option exercise or cashless sale tied to these awards.
