On January 12, 2026, Spire Inc. (“Spire”) issued $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2086 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement dated January 5, 2026 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Spire and the several underwriters named on Exhibit A thereto for whom BofA Securities, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as representatives.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 24, 2025, as amended or supplemented, including by the second supplemental indenture thereto, dated as of January 12, 2026 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between Spire and Regions Bank, as trustee.

Spire intends to use the net proceeds of this offering, along with other funds, to redeem all of the outstanding shares of its 5.90% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) with an aggregate $250.0 million liquidation preference, upon which the corresponding 10,000,000 outstanding depositary shares representing the Series A Preferred Stock will also be redeemed, or for other general corporate purposes. Spire has applied for listing of the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange. If the application is approved, Spire expects trading in the Notes to begin within 30 days after the date that the Notes were issued.
