EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

PPL Corporation (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister certain securities originally registered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2014 (Registration Statement No. 333-197629 and referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”), which registered 7,300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for issuance under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan for Key Employees (“ICPKE”).

In connection with the adoption of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Second A&R SIP”), no future awards will be made under the ICPKE. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed solely to remove the remaining 559,780 shares of Common Stock from registration under the Registration Statement as any new awards will be made under the Second A&R SIP.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Allentown, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on May 13, 2026.
