#### DTE ENERGY2025 PROXY STATEMENT55

#### Deferred Compensation
For purposes of the following discussion concerning the tax-qualified and nonqualified deferred compensation for which our Named Executive Officers are eligible, we will be using the following terms:

■ "Savings Plan" means the DTE Energy Company Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (tax-qualified 401(k) plan). The Savings Plan is made up of three distinct subdivisions, which originate from the merger of former plans. These subdivisions are generally referred to as the DTE Electric Savings Plan, the MCN Savings Plan and the Citizens Savings Plan. Most Named Executive Officers participate in the DTE Electric Savings Plan and one of the Named Executive Officers participates in the MCN Savings Plan. There are no Named Executive Officers who participate in the the Citizens Savings Plan.

■ "Supplemental Savings Plan" means the DTE Energy Company Supplemental Savings Plan (nonqualified 401(k) plan).

#### Tax-Qualified Deferred Compensation
All Named Executive Officers participate in the Savings Plan. A participant may contribute up to 100% (less applicable FICA taxes and other legally required or voluntary deductions) of eligible compensation to the Savings Plan as pre-tax, Roth, after-tax and, if applicable, a catch-up contribution basis. Participants are 100% vested at all times in the value of their contributions. In the DTE Electric Savings Plan (including Messrs. Norcia, Ruud, Lauer and Stiers), we contribute $1 to the participant’s Savings Plan account for each $1 the participant contributes on the first 4% of eligible compensation and we contribute $0.50 for each $1 contributed on the next 4% of eligible compensation. In the MCN Savings Plan (including Ms. Harris), we contribute $1 to the participant’s Savings Plan for each $1 the participant contributes on the first 6% of eligible compensation. All contributions to the Savings Plan are subject to annual IRS limits. Company contributions are invested in the DTE Energy Stock Fund. All of the Named Executive Officers are vested in their Company matching contributions.

Participants may direct their contributions and redirect any related company contributions from the DTE Energy Stock Fund to any investment option available under the Savings Plan, subject to the trading restriction on Section 16 insiders. Under this trading restriction, participants designated as Section 16 insiders are restricted from transactions involving DTE Energy stock except during the four open window periods that occur each year after corporate earnings are announced. Investment directions and exchanges may be made
