The AES Corporation’s (“AES”) Maritza power plant in Bulgaria is operating under a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) that expires in May 2026. Although negotiations are underway for a new PPA and other alternatives to realize additional value are being considered, no agreements have been reached. Further, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made the decision not to invest in a conversion of the plant to an alternative fuel source. The Company has determined that collectively, these events represent an impairment indicator during the fourth quarter of 2025. An analysis was performed and as a result, a reduction in the Maritza assets’ useful life was deemed appropriate, and it was determined that the carrying value was not recoverable. In connection with these developments, on January 13, 2026, the Company concluded that a pre-tax impairment charge in the range of $250 million to $325 million is required to be recognized as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with U.S. generally ac
