The Tender Offers are open to all registered holders (individually, a \u201cHolder\u201d and collectively, the \u201cHolders\u201d) of the Notes. The purpose of the Tender Offers is to reduce CenterPoint Energy\u2019s and CERC\u2019s outstanding indebtedness.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe sum of the CenterPoint Energy Notes Maximum Amount and the CERC Notes Maximum Amount is $1,000,000,000 (the \u201cAggregate Maximum Amount\u201d), which represents the aggregate purchase price of the Notes subject to the Tender Offers and excludes any Accrued Interest. CenterPoint Energy reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to adjust the Aggregate Maximum Amount or the Maximum Amounts for one or both of the Capped Tender Offers or adjust the CERC 2047 Notes Tender Cap with respect to the CERC Notes Tender Offers as it deems appropriate. If the purchase price (excluding Accrued Interest) of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date or Expiration Date (as defined below) is such that the Maximum Amount with respect to a Capped Tender Offer is exceeded, then such Maximum Amount that was exceeded may, at CenterPoint Energy\u2019s sole discretion, be increased above such Maximum Amount to allow for the purchases of additional amounts of such Notes, subject to applicable law. If the Maximum Amount with respect to a Capped Tender Offer is increased at the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) and all Notes validly tendered with respect to such Capped Tender Offer are accepted for purchase, CenterPoint Energy reserves the right to further adjust the Maximum Amount for such Capped Tender Offer in connection with purchases made at the Expiration Date as it deems appropriate, subject to applicable law. An increase in one or both of the Maximum Amounts will automatically result in a corresponding increase in the Aggregate Maximum Amount.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 8, 2025 (the \u201cEarly Tender Date\u201d) will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes the early tender payment set forth in Note 4 to the tables in this press release (the \u201cEarly Tender Payment\u201d). The Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2025 (the \u201cExpiration Date\u201d) will be eligible to receive the applicable tender offer consideration (the \u201cMaximum Tender Offer Consideration\u201d), namely the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe applicable total consideration (the \u201cTotal Consideration\u201d) payable by CenterPoint Energy for the Notes will be a price per $1,000 principal amount based on the yield to maturity or par call date, as the case may be, of the applicable U.S. Treasury reference securities specified in the tables in this press release (the \u201cUST Reference Security\u201d), as determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 9, 2025 (unless otherwise extended by us as described in the Offer to Purchase), plus a fixed spread, calculated in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicable Total Consideration determined is less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of such series of Notes, then the Total Consideration will be calculated to the stated maturity date and not to the par call date for such series of Notes.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe settlement date for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase is expected to be May 13, 2025, the third business day after the Early Tender Date (the \u201cEarly Settlement Date\u201d). The settlement date for the Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase is expected to be May 28, 2025, the second business day after the Expiration Date (the \u201cFinal Settlement Date,\u201d and along with the Early Settlement Date, each a \u201cSettlement Date\u201d), if either or both of the Maximum Amounts of applicable Notes is not purchased on such Early Settlement Date.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition to the Total Consideration or Maximum Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest (\u201cAccrued Interest\u201d) on those Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to those Notes to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHolders who tender their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 8, 2025 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the \u201cWithdrawal Deadline\u201d) may withdraw such tendered Notes at any time at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline. Following the Withdrawal Deadline, Holders who have tendered their Notes (whether before, on or after the Withdrawal Deadline) may not withdraw such Notes unless CenterPoint Energy is required to extend withdrawal rights under applicable law.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCenterPoint Energy expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to terminate the Tender Offers at any time prior to the Expiration Date. The Tender Offers are not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered but are subject to certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase. Each Tender Offer is a separate offer. The Capped Tender Offers are not conditioned on each other. Each Tender Offer may be individually amended, extended or terminated by CenterPoint Energy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCenterPoint Energy has retained Barclays Capital Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. to act as Dealer Managers for the Tender Offers (the \u201cDealer Managers\u201d).
