Item 8.01 Other Events

On February 26, 2015, PPL Corporation (the “Company”) entered into two separate Equity Distribution Agreements (each, an “Equity Distribution Agreement” and collectively, the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) with each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (each, a “Manager” and collectively, the “Managers”), pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $500.0 million of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), through the Managers. Sales of the Common Stock made pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, if any, may be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or negotiated transactions, or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Manager. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. Any Shares sold will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-202290) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2015.

Copies of the Equity Distribution Agreements are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 1.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
