Proxy Materials
| 1 | Q: | Why did I receive these proxy materials? |
| A: | You received these proxy materials because you were a shareholder of record or beneficial owner (as defined below) of shares of common stock of FirstEnergy Corp. as of the close of business on March 25, 2024, the record date (the “Record Date”). The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 22, 2024. We began distributing these proxy materials to shareholders on or about March 29, 2024 | |
| 2 | Q: | What is the difference between holding shares as a “shareholder of record” and holding shares in “street name” or as a “beneficial owner”? |
| A: | Shareholder of Record: If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), you are a shareholder of record of the shares. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to vote your shares directly or to grant a proxy to vote your shares to a representative of the Company or to another person. As a record holder you have received either a proxy card to use in voting your shares or a Notice of Internet Availability which instructs you how to vote. | |
| Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held for you in a brokerage, bank or other institutional account, it is likely that you are the beneficial owner of shares, meaning that you hold shares in “street name.” You are also a beneficial owner if you own shares through the FirstEnergy Corp. Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”). | ||
| As a beneficial owner of shares, you have the right to direct the registered holder to vote your shares, and you may attend the Annual Meeting (please see the “Attending the Virtual Annual Meeting” section of the “Questions and Answers about the Annual Meeting” below for instructions on how to register in advance). Your bank, broker or other institution has provided a voting instruction form for you to use in directing how your shares are to be voted. However, since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares virtually at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the registered holder of the shares giving you the right to do so. Additionally, if you are a Savings Plan participant, because the Savings Plan’s Trustee is the only one who can vote your Savings Plan shares, you cannot vote your Savings Plan shares virtually at the Annual Meeting (although you may attend the Annual Meeting by following the instructions on how to register in advance in the “Attending the Virtual Annual Meeting” section of the “Questions and Answers about the Annual Meeting” below). | ||
| 3 | Q: | Can I view future FirstEnergy proxy materials and annual reports on the Internet instead of receiving paper copies? |
| A: | Yes. If you received paper copies of this proxy statement and the annual report and you are a shareholder of record, you can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports on the Internet by marking the designated box on your proxy card or by following the instructions when voting by Internet or by telephone. If you choose this option, prior to the next annual meeting, you will be mailed a paper copy of the proxy card along with instructions on how to access the proxy statement and annual report using the Internet unless applicable regulations require delivery of printed proxy materials. Your choice will remain in effect until you notify us that you wish to resume mail delivery of these documents. | |
| If you previously elected to access your proxy materials over the Internet, you will not receive the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice of Internet Availability”) or paper copies of proxy materials in the mail unless required by law. Instead, you will receive a paper copy of the proxy card along with instructions on how to access the proxy statement and annual report using the Internet. | ||

| If you received a Notice of Internet Availability, you may not receive printed copies of proxy statements and annual reports in the future unless required by law. However, you may elect to be mailed a paper proxy card with instructions on how to access proxy statements and annual reports using the Internet for future meetings by following the instructions when voting. The Notice of Internet Availability also contains instructions on how you may request delivery of proxy materials in printed form for the Annual Meeting or on an ongoing basis, if desired. | ||
| If you are a beneficial owner, refer to the information provided by your broker, bank or other nominee for instructions on how to elect to view future FirstEnergy proxy statements and annual reports on the Internet instead of receiving paper copies. | ||
| 4 | Q: | Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of receiving a full set of printed proxy materials? |
| A: | To reduce the environmental impact and related costs of the Annual Meeting, we are pleased to again furnish the proxy materials over the Internet. As a result, we are sending a number of our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a printed copy of the proxy materials. All shareholders receiving the Notice of Internet Availability will have the ability to access the proxy materials and vote via the Internet and to request a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail, if desired. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet, to vote online, and to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability. The Notice of Internet Availability identifies the items to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, but shares cannot be voted by marking, writing on and/or returning the Notice of Internet Availability. Any Notice of Internet Availability that is returned will not be counted as votes. In addition, the Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how you may request delivery of proxy materials in printed form for this Meeting or on an ongoing basis, if desired. | |
| 5 | Q: | Why did we receive just one copy of the Proxy Statement and annual report when we have more than one stock account in our household? |
| A: | Where possible, we follow the SEC rule that permits us to send one copy each of this Proxy Statement and the annual report to a household if shareholders provide written or implied consent. We previously mailed a notice to eligible registered shareholders stating our intent to use this rule unless a shareholder provided an objection. Using this rule reduces unnecessary publication and mailing costs. Shareholders continue to receive a separate proxy card or opportunity to vote via the Internet, as applicable, for each stock account. If you are a registered shareholder and received only one copy each of the Proxy Statement and the annual report in your household, you can request additional copies for some or all accounts for this year or in the future, either by calling Shareholder Services at 1-800-736-3402 or by writing to FirstEnergy Corp., c/o American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 2016, New York, NY 10272-2016, and we will promptly deliver the requested copies. You also may contact us in the same manner if you are receiving multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and/or the annual report in your household and desire to receive one copy. If you are not a registered shareholder and your shares are held by a bank, broker, or other institution you will need to contact such bank, broker, or other institution to revoke your election and receive multiple copies of these documents, or to request householding. | |
| 6 | Q: | Who is soliciting my vote, how are proxy cards being solicited, and what is the cost? |
| A: | Your Board is soliciting your vote. We have arranged for the services of Morrow Sodali LLC to solicit votes personally or by telephone, mail, or other electronic means for a fee not expected to exceed $19,250, plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses, which shall be paid by the Company. Votes also may be solicited in a similar manner by officers and employees of the Company and members of your Board on an uncompensated basis. The Company will pay all reasonable solicitation costs and will reimburse banks, brokers or other nominees for postage and expenses incurred by them for sending proxy materials to beneficial owners. | |
