ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement that PPL Corporation and PPL Capital Funding have filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") utilizing a "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf process, we are offering to sell the Notes, using
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement describes the specific terms of this offering. The
accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference therein describe our business and give more general information, some of
which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer only to the "prospectus," we are referring to both parts combined. You should read
this prospectus supplement together with the accompanying prospectus before making a decision to invest in the Notes. If the information in this
prospectus supplement or the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying
prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement or the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement will apply and
will supersede that information in the accompanying prospectus.
Certain affiliates of PPL Capital Funding and PPL Corporation, specifically PPL Electric Utilities Corporation, LG&E and KU Energy LLC,
Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company, have also registered their securities on the "shelf" registration statement
referred to above. However, the Notes are solely obligations of PPL Capital Funding and, to the extent of the Guarantees, PPL Corporation, and
not of any of PPL Corporation's other subsidiaries. None of PPL Electric Utilities Corporation, LG&E and KU Energy LLC, Louisville Gas and
Electric Company or Kentucky Utilities Company or any of PPL Corporation's other subsidiaries will guarantee or provide any credit support for
the Notes.

424B2

Stated Maturity Date
April 15, 2030 (the "Stated Maturity Date").

Interest Payment Dates
Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October
15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2020, and at maturity, or upon earlier
redemption.

Interest Rate
From and including April 3, 2020 until maturity at the rate of 4.125% per annum.

Redemption
We may, at our option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to
time.

If we redeem the Notes before January 15, 2030 (the date that is months prior to the

Stated Maturity Date) (the "Par Call Date"), the Notes will be redeemed by us at a
redemption price equal to the greater of:


(1)
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be so redeemed; and

(2)
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest on the Notes to be so redeemed (not including any portion of such
payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) to the Par Call Date

discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as
defined in this prospectus supplement), plus 50 basis points;

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of

the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.

If we redeem the Notes on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemed by us

redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being

Table of Contents
Ranking, Guarantees
The Notes will be PPL Capital Funding's unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and
will rank equally in right of payment with PPL Capital Funding's existing unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to PPL Capital
Funding's subordinated indebtedness. The Notes will be fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by PPL Corporation as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest. The Guarantees will be PPL Corporation's unsecured obligations and will rank
equally in right of payment with PPL Corporation's other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness. However, because PPL Corporation is a holding company, its obligations
under the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to existing and future liabilities of
its subsidiaries. See "Risk Factors."

Form and Denomination
The Notes will be initially issued in the form of one or more global securities, without
coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof,
and deposited with the Trustee on behalf of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), as
depositary, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. See "Description of the
Notes--General" and "Description of the Notes--Book-Entry Only Issuance--The
Depository Trust Company."

Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay short-term debt
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/922224/000119312520096086/d852936d424b2.htm[4/3/2020 8:16:55 AM]


424B2
obligations and for general corporate purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."

Reopening of the Series
We may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes and subject to certain
limitations, increase the principal amount of the series and issue additional notes of such
series having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, other
than the public offering price, the date of issuance and, in some circumstances, the
initial interest accrual date and the initial interest payment date, if applicable; provided
that any such additional notes either shall be fungible with the original Notes for U.S.
federal income tax purposes or shall be issued under a different CUSIP number. Any
such additional notes may, together with the Notes, constitute a single series of
securities under the Indenture. See "Description of the Notes--General."

Governing Law
The Notes and the Indenture are governed by the laws of the State of New York, except
to the extent the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

Conflicts of Interest
Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates may hold a portion of the commercial paper
that we intend to repay using a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. In such
event, it is possible that one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates could receive
more than 5% of the net proceeds of the offering, and in that case, such underwriter
would be deemed to have a conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121 (Public
Offering of Securities with Conflicts of Interest). In the

S-3
Table of Contents
event of any such conflict of interest, such underwriter would be required to conduct the
distribution of the notes offered hereby in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121. If the

distribution is conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, such underwriter would
not be permitted to confirm a sale to an account over which it exercises discretionary
authority without first receiving specific written approval from the account holder.

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Before making a decision to invest in the Notes, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information
included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Risks Relating to PPL Corporation's Businesses
The spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and resultant impact on business and economic conditions could negatively affect our
operations.
In recent weeks, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to global economic disruption and volatility in the financial markets. It is
possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 and efforts to contain the virus, such as quarantines or closures or reduced operations of
businesses, governmental agencies and other institutions, could cause an economic slowdown, which could adversely affect customer demand,
impact our employees, cause us to experience an increase in certain costs, delayed payments or uncollectable accounts, or cause other
unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
See also the risk factors set forth beginning on page 21 of PPL Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2019 for a discussion of certain risks relating to PPL Corporation's businesses.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/922224/000119312520096086/d852936d424b2.htm[4/3/2020 8:16:55 AM]


424B2
Risks Relating to the Notes
PPL Corporation's cash flow and ability to meet its obligations with respect to its Guarantees of the Notes largely depend on the
performance of its subsidiaries. As a result, PPL Corporation's obligations with respect to its Guarantees of the Notes will be structurally
subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of its subsidiaries.
PPL Corporation is a holding company and conducts its operations primarily through subsidiaries. Substantially all of its consolidated assets
are held by such subsidiaries. Accordingly, its cash flow and its ability to meet its obligations under its Guarantees of the Notes are largely
dependent upon the earnings of these subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment of such earnings to it in the form of dividends, loans or
advances or repayment of loans and advances from it. The subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to pay any
amounts due on the Notes or to make any funds available for such payment.
Because PPL Corporation is a holding company, its obligations with respect to the Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and
future liabilities of its subsidiaries. Therefore, its rights and the rights of its creditors, including rights of a holder of any Note, to participate in the
assets of any subsidiary in the event that such a subsidiary is liquidated or reorganized will be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary's
creditors. To the extent that PPL Corporation may be a creditor with recognized claims against any such subsidiary, its claims would nevertheless
be effectively subordinated to any security interest in, or mortgages or other liens on, the assets of the subsidiary and would be subordinated to any
indebtedness or other liabilities of the subsidiary senior to that held by it. Although certain agreements to which PPL Corporation's subsidiaries are
parties limit their ability to incur additional indebtedness, PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries retain the ability to incur substantial additional
indebtedness and other liabilities.
The debt agreements of some of PPL Corporation's subsidiaries contain provisions that might restrict their ability to pay dividends, make
distributions or otherwise transfer funds to PPL Corporation upon failing to meet certain financial tests or other conditions prior to the payment of
other obligations, including operating expenses, debt service and reserves. PPL Corporation currently believes that all of its subsidiaries are in
compliance with such tests and conditions. Further, if PPL Corporation elects to receive distributions of earnings from its foreign operations, PPL
Corporation may incur United States taxes, net of any available foreign tax credits, on such amounts. Distributions to PPL Corporation from its
international projects are, in some countries, also subject to withholding taxes.

S-5
Table of Contents
An active trading market for the Notes may not develop.
The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We cannot assure that an active trading market for the Notes will
develop. There can be no assurances as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the Notes, the ability of holders to sell their Notes or
the price at which the holders will be able to sell their Notes. Future trading prices of the Notes will depend on many factors including, among
other things, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for similar securities.

S-6
Table of Contents
USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $992,160,000, after deducting the underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay short-term debt
obligations and for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following summary description sets forth certain terms and provisions of the Notes that are being offered by this prospectus supplement.
Because this description is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the Notes or the Indenture under which the Notes will be issued, as
described below. The Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which the accompanying prospectus is a part. The Indenture
and its associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. This summary is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the Notes and the Indenture, including definitions of certain terms used in the Indenture. We also
include references in parentheses to certain sections of the Indenture. Whenever we refer to particular sections or defined terms of the Indenture in
this prospectus supplement, such sections or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein. The Indenture has been qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act, and you should refer to the Trust Indenture Act for provisions that apply to the Notes.
General
PPL Capital Funding will issue the Notes as a series of debt securities under an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1997 (as such indenture
has been and may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), among PPL Capital Funding, PPL Corporation and The
Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)), as trustee (the
"Trustee"). We may issue an unlimited amount of Notes or other securities under the Indenture. The Notes and all other debt securities issued
previously or hereafter under the Indenture are collectively referred to herein as the "Indenture Securities."
The Notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of PPL Capital Funding and will rank equally in right of payment with PPL
Capital Funding's existing unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to PPL Capital Funding's subordinated
indebtedness. The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by PPL Corporation as to payment of principal, premium,
if any, and interest. The Guarantees will be PPL Corporation's unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with PPL
Corporation's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
The Notes will be issued in fully registered form only, without coupons. The Notes will be initially represented by one or more fully
registered global securities (the "Global Securities") deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, as depositary, and registered in the name of
DTC or DTC's nominee. A beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown on, and transfers or exchanges thereof will be effected only
