On June 25, 2026, Jersey Central Power & Light Company (the "Company" or "JCP&L") filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-297033) (the "Form S-4") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that included a recast of the Company's audited financial information as set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), due to a recent change in its segment reporting.

As previously disclosed, as of January 1, 2026, JCP&L made changes in how management evaluates operating performance and allocates resources. As a result of these changes, JCP&L reassessed its operating segments and determined that its operations are now managed as a single integrated business. Historically, JCP&L reported two operating segments, Distribution and Transmission. Accordingly, JCP&L changed its external segment reporting to present its results, including comparative periods, as a single reportable segment for the first quarter of 2026, and reclassified prior periods for comparability. There are no changes to JCP&L's significant expenses, measure of profit or loss, or other segment items. Similarly, JCP&L's goodwill reporting units were also changed to a single reporting unit as of January 1, 2026. The Company began to report under this revised reporting structure effective with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal year 2026 first quarter ended March 31, 2026, which was filed with the SEC on April 28, 2026.

The Form S-4 includes recast segment information in the following items of the 2025 Form 10-K to reflect the Company's revised reporting structure: Part I, Item 1. Business; Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. In addition, Note 18., "Subsequent Events (Unaudited)" of the Audited Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data contains disclosures representing subsequent events since the original issuance of JCP&L's 2025 Form 10-K.

The information included in this Form 8-K is presented for informational purposes only in connection with the revised reporting structure described above and does not amend or restate the Company's Audited Financial Statements, which were included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

#### SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
