Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 4, 2024, Talen Energy Corporation (the “Company”) executed an agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) to repurchase (the “Repurchase”) at least $600 million (up to a $1.0 billion maximum) in aggregate purchase price of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), from affiliates of Rubric Capital Management LP (collectively, “Rubric”). Immediately prior to execution of the Repurchase Agreement, Rubric held approximately 22.3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
The Repurchase is priced at a 4% discount to a 15-day volume-weighted average price prior to the closing of the Repurchase and is conditioned on the completion of the Financing (as defined below). The Repurchase Agreement contains customary terms for this type of transaction, including but not limited to mechanics for determining the final share count and corresponding consideration to be delivered at closing, other closing mechanics, termination provisions and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties. The Repurchase is incremental to the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program, which will have approximately $1.2 billion of remaining capacity available through 2026 after the Company closes the Repurchase.
The proceeds from the Financing will be used, together with cash on hand, to fund the Repurchase, and both transactions are expected to close before December 31, 2024. Subject to market demand, the Company may increase the size of the Financing and use the additional proceeds to purchase additional shares of common stock from Rubric on the same terms as described above, or for general corporate purposes.
This description of the Repurchase Agreement is a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Repurchase Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 5, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing (i) its launch of a $600 million incremental term loan B financing (the “Financing”) and the expected replacement of its existing term loan C facility with a new letter of credit facility and (ii) the Repurchase described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 13, 2024, Talen Energy Supply, LLC (the “Borrower”), a direct subsidiary of Talen Energy Corporation (the “Company”), amended its credit agreement to provide for an incremental Term Loan B credit facility (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Borrower obtained a new incremental tranche of $850 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured Term B loans (the “Incremental Term B Loans”).
As more fully described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), the Company used the proceeds from the Incremental Term B Loans, together with cash on hand, to repurchase (the “Repurchase”) shares of its outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) from affiliates of Rubric Capital Management LP (collectively, “Rubric”).
The Incremental Term B Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (1) a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of (A) the rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in effect on such day, plus 0.50%, (B) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States, and (C) Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) for the applicable interest period plus the Applicable ABR Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) or (2) the relevant Applicable Term SOFR Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) plus the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment).
The Incremental Term B Loans have a final maturity date of December 13, 2031, and are subject to the same representations and warranties, guarantees, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and customary events of default as the Borrower’s existing senior secured Term Loan B due in 2030.
This description of the Credit Agreement Amendment is a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The disclosures under Item 1.01 of this Report are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 13, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Incremental Term B Loans and the Repurchase, as further described in Items 1.01 and 8.01 of this Report. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information under this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information under this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 13, 2024, the Company closed the Repurchase, pursuant to which the Company repurchased $1.0 billion in aggregate purchase price of shares of Common Stock from Rubric.
The Repurchase was priced at a 4% discount to a 15-day volume weighted-average price of the Common Stock prior to the closing of the Repurchase, resulting in the repurchase of 4,893,507 total shares of Common Stock at a price of $204.35 per share. Following the Repurchase, 45,961,910 shares of Common Stock remain outstanding.
Common Stock repurchased using the proceeds from the Incremental Term B Loans was incremental to the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). The additional shares repurchased with $150 million of cash on hand used capacity under the Repurchase Program, leaving approximately $1.08 billion of remaining capacity available under the Repurchase Program through 2026.
This description of the Repurchase is a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the repurchase agreement with Rubric, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
