| Proceeds, before expenses, to The Southern Company |     |                                           |     | 96.85%  |     | $     | 484,250,000 |

(1) Plus accrued interest, if any, from the date of original issuance of the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes, which is expected to be January 13, 2025.

(2) An underwriting discount of $0.7875 per Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Note (or up to $15,750,000 for all Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes) will be deducted from the proceeds paid to The Southern Company by the underwriters. However, the discount will be $0.25 per Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Note for sales to institutions and, to the extent of such institutional sales, the total underwriting discount will be less than the amount set forth in the above table. As a result of sales to institutions, the total proceeds to The Southern Company increased by $2,338,823.75, and the total underwriting discount was $13,411,176.25. Certain other expenses of the offering will be paid by The Southern Company.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus Supplement or the accompanying Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The underwriters will have the option to purchase up to an additional $75,000,000 in principal amount of the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes in order to cover over-allotments, if any. If the option is exercised, any such Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are expected to be delivered on or about the same date set forth in the paragraph below. Should the underwriters exercise this option in full, the total initial public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds, before expenses, to The Southern Company will be $575,000,000, $15,773,676.25 and $559,226,
