Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	Balance has been updated since the reporting person's last filed Form 4 to include shares acquired through dividend reinvestments.
F2	FirstEnergy Corp.'s (the "Company") 401(k) Savings Plan includes a unitized fund invested in shares of common stock of the Company, in which the reporting person may invest, and includes dividend reinvestment and company match features. The number of shares reported as indirectly held in the 401(K) Savings Plan in this row is an estimate of the number of shares of the Company's common stock held in the unitized stock fund since the reporting person's last filed Form 4 and as allocated to the reporting person's account as of January 31, 2026.
F3	Represents performance-adjusted restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted on December 18, 2023, each of which represents a contingent right to receive an award payable 2/3 in Company common stock and 1/3 in cash following the vesting date. This Form 4 is being filed to report the satisfaction of the performance goals for the RSUs, as certified by the Company's Board of Directors on February 11, 2026. As a result, these RSUs will vest on March 1, 2026, generally subject to the reporting person's continued service.
