Board Justification

The fundamental objective of NextEra Energy’s executive compensation program is to motivate and reward actions that will increase shareholder value, particularly over the longer term. The Compensation Committee believes the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a strong pay-for-performance philosophy and is well-aligned with the short-term and long-term interests of shareholders and other important Company stakeholders, including customers and employees.

Board Justification

Board Justification

Performance shares generally vest on the last day of the applicable performance period, with payouts determined by the Compensation Committee at its first regular meeting after the end of the year. Because the end of the performance period for the performance shares granted to each of the NEOs in 2019 was December 31, 2022, these performance shares are not included in the outstanding equity awards at fiscal year end and are included in the option exercises and stock vested under columns (D) and (E), "Stock Awards—Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting" and "Stock Awards—Value Realized on Vesting," and discussed in footnote (1) to that table.
