(the "Seller"), entered into a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") with Boardwalk Pipelines, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Purchaser"), dated as of March 28, 2026. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Spire agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Spire Marketing Inc., a Missouri corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller ("Spire Marketing") (the "Transaction").

On April 30, 2026, Seller completed the previously announced Transaction for $215.0 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments as provided in the Agreement.

The closing of the Transaction occurred following the satisfaction or waiver of all material closing conditions, including the conversion of Spire Marketing from a Missouri corporation to a limited liability company organized in Delaware and compliance with all applicable regulatory approvals.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Spire's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on March 30, 2026.
