What the filing says
Terry Nutt named CEO effective January 1, 2027, replacing Mark McFarland who transitions to senior advisor through March 2027. Nutt receives new employment agreement with $1.2M base salary, 135% target bonus, and 700% base salary LTIP awards. Company announces $1.5B accelerated share repurchase (ASR) with Goldman Sachs and Banco Santander, initially repurchasing ~4M shares (~80% of expected total); upsizes total SRP to $3B through 2028. ASR funded by monetizing ~$1.5B of PJM capacity revenues at SOFR+200bps.
Why this rating
Leadership transition is orderly with 3-month overlap; Nutt is internal promotion (CFO since 2023, President since Dec 2025). $1.5B ASR is ~11% of $13.3B market cap but routine capital allocation. No material business change.
