Duke Energy expects to continue its policy of paying regular cash dividends; however, there is no assurance as to the amount of future
dividends because they depend on future earnings, capital requirements, and financial condition, and are subject to declaration by the Board of
Directors.
Duke Energy’s operating subsidiaries have certain restrictions on their ability to transfer funds in the form of dividends or loans to Duke
Energy. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
for further information regarding these restrictions and their impacts on Duke Energy’s liquidity.

Duke Energy will provide information that is responsive to this Item 5 in its definitive proxy statement or in an amendment to this Annual
Report not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report, in either case under the caption “Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters,” and possibly elsewhere therein. That information
is incorporated in this Item 5 by reference.
