### Notes to Financial Statements

The entire DTE Energy Stock Fund is considered to be the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) portion of the Plans. Quarterly dividends from DTE Energy common stock are automatically reinvested in DTE Energy common stock, unless distributed. DTE Energy common stock dividends may be paid out in cash on a quarterly basis, at the participant's election, and are reported as distributions in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

The Trustee purchases and sells shares of DTE Energy common stock in open market transactions at prevailing market prices.
