Additional 402(v) Disclosure

Amounts reported in this column represent returns on an initial $100 investment in the S&P 500 Utilities Industry Index, which is used by the Company for purposes of compliance with Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. Total Shareholder Return is cumulative for the measurement periods beginning on September 30, 2020, and ending on September 30 of each of 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, calculated in accordance with Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K.In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is required to include in the Pay Versus Performance (“PvP”) table the company-selected measure, which is the “most important” financial performance measure (as determined by the Company and that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the PvP table) used to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. We determined NFEPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, to be our company-selected measure. NFEPS is the NFE per basic share of Common Stock that the Company reports on a quarterly and annual basis to the public and in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual report on Form 10-K that are filed with the SEC. For a full discussion of NFEPS and a reconciliation to GAAP earnings per share, please see Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
