Item 5.04.

Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

On June 7, 2021, DTE Energy Company (the “Company”) sent a notice (the “Blackout Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them that they will be subject to certain trading restrictions with respect to shares of Company common stock (the “Common Stock”) as a result of a blackout imposed in connection with the previously announced spin-off of DT Midstream, Inc. on participants in the DTE Energy Company Savings and Stock Ownership Plan, DTE Electric Company Savings & Stock Ownership Plan for Employees Represented by Local 223 of the Utility Workers Union of America, DTE Electric Company Savings & Stock Ownership Plan for Employees Represented by Local 17 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and DTE Gas Company Investment and Stock Ownership Plan (collectively, the “401(k) Plans”) holding interests in the DTE Energy Company Stock Fund.

The Blackout Notice was sent pursuant to Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Regulation BTR, which generally impose certain restrictions on trading in issuer equity securities by directors and executive officers in the event that 50% or more of an issuer’s plan participants are so restricted with respect to the shares in their plan accounts. As described more fully in the Blackout Notice, the Company has decided to impose restrictions on the interests in the DTE Energy Company Stock Fund held in the 401(k) Plans in order to facilitate the addition of the DTM Stock Fund interests to accounts in the 401(k) Plans. The blackout period is scheduled to begin on July 1, 2021, and end during the week of July 5, 2021. During the blackout period, directors and executive officers will be generally restricted from directly or indirectly purchasing, selling, acquiring, exercising or otherwise transferring equity securities of the Company if those securities were acquired in connection with service or employment as a director or officer of the Company.

Inquiries concerning the Blackout Notice, including the beginning and ending dates of the trading restrictions, may be directed without charge to:
