Annual Meeting Retirement Savings Plans Confidential Voting Instruction Card

SOLICITED

FOR THE FPL GROUP EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN OR THE FPL GROUP BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN (“PLANS”)

The undersigned participant or beneficiary in the Plans, acting as a named fiduciary, hereby provides the voting instructions specified to the trustee of the Plans (the “Trustee”), which instructions shall be taken into account by the Trustee in voting, in person, by limited or general power of attorney, or by proxy, the shares and fractional shares of Common Stock of FPL Group, Inc. (“Common Stock”) that are held by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee of the Plans, as of [•], 2006 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of FPL Group, Inc. to be held on [•], 2006 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. You understand that you have this right because the Plans deem you to be a “named fiduciary” of the shares allocated to your account for voting purposes. As a named fiduciary, the law gives you the right to direct the Trustee how to vote the shares allocated to your FPL Group Stock Fund and FPL Group Leveraged ESOP Fund accounts, and requires the Trustee to follow your directions except in limited circumstances. As a named fiduciary, you, and not the Trustee, will be responsible for the consequences of the voting directions that you give. As to the proposals listed on the reverse side, which are more particularly described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated [•], 2006, the voting instructions on this Confidential Voting Instruction Card will instruct the Trustee how to vote the number of shares of Common Stock reflecting your proportionate interest in the FPL Group Stock Fund and the FPL Group Leveraged ESOP Fund. Your instructions will also determine the vote on a proportionate number of the Leveraged ESOP shares which are held in the Plans but not yet allocated to participants. If you do not give the Trustee voting instructions, the number of shares reflecting your proportionate interest will not be voted, but your proportionate share of the unallocated Leveraged ESOP shares will be voted by the Trustee in the same manner as it votes unallocated shares for which instructions are received.

This Confidential Voting Instruction Card when properly executed will be voted in the manner directed by the undersigned shareholder. If the card is returned but no direction is made, this Confidential Voting Instruction Card will be voted FOR proposal 1, FOR all nominees listed in proposal 2 and FOR proposal 3.
