Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting
Why did I only receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials directing me to the Internet instead of the proxy statement and annual report?
Under SEC rules, NextEra Energy is furnishing proxy materials to many of its shareholders on the Internet, rather than mailing paper copies of the
materials to each shareholder.
On or about April 5, 2019, NextEra Energy mailed to many of its shareholders of record a Notice containing
instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials, including the proxy statement and annual report to shareholders, on the Internet. The Notice also instructs shareholders on how to access their proxy card to be able to submit their
proxies on the Internet. Brokerage firms and other nominees who hold NextEra Energy shares on behalf of beneficial owners will be sending their own similar Notice. Other shareholders, in accordance with their prior requests, have received an
e-mail
notification of how to access the proxy materials and submit their proxies on the Internet. On or about April 5, 2019, NextEra Energy also began mailing a full set of proxy materials to certain
shareholders, including shareholders who have previously requested a paper copy of the proxy materials.
Internet distribution of the proxy materials
is designed to expedite receipt by shareholders, lower the cost of the annual meeting and conserve natural resources. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. If you have
previously elected to receive NextEra Energys proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive the materials via
e-mail
unless you elect otherwise.
How do I access the proxy materials if I received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials?
The Notice provides instructions regarding how to view NextEra Energys proxy materials for the 2019 annual meeting on the Internet. As explained in
greater detail in the Notice, to view the proxy materials and submit your proxy, you will need to follow the instructions in your Notice and have available your
16-digit
Control number(s) contained in your
Notice.
How do I request paper copies of the proxy materials?

you hold NextEra Energy shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee (in street name), or hold NextEra Energy shares directly in your name through NextEra Energys transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
