~~ITEM~~On November ~~9.01~~24, ~~Financial~~2025, ~~Statements~~the MoPSC issued an order (the “Large Load Order”) approving an amended non-unanimous global stipulation and ~~Exhibits~~agreement among Ameren Missouri, the staff of the MoPSC, and all other intervenors in the Large Load Customer Rate Plan proceeding, other than the Missouri Office of Public Counsel, which did not object.

The Large Load Order applies to electric service provided to (di)~~Exhibits~~ new facilities with a monthly load demand expected to be 75 megawatts or more, and (ii) existing customers that have a monthly load demand that is expected to expand by 75 megawatts or more. Such customers will be required to enter into an electric service agreement (“ESA”) that specifies certain provisions of their electric service. The ESAs will have a minimum service term of 12 years plus a ramp period of up to five years to reach peak demand. Under the ESAs, customers must pay demand charges on a minimum of 80% of contracted capacity and provide written notice of service termination at least 24 months in advance. Termination of an ESA during the ramp period will result in an exit fee equivalent to the customer’s minimum monthly bill multiplied by the number of months in the remaining term of the ramp period plus 60 months. Termination of an ESA after the ramp period will result in an exit fee equivalent to the customer’s minimum monthly bill multiplied by the lesser of (i) 60 months or (ii) the number of months remaining in the applicable ESA term. An additional fee will apply if a customer seeks termination with less than 24 months’ notice. The Large Load Order further provides for certain customer credit and collateral requirements, including a base collateral requirement equivalent to two years of minimum monthly bills, subject to an exemption of up to 60% of such collateral requirement for customers that meet certain credit rating thresholds.

Exhibit Number:						Title:
99.1*						Press release regarding earnings for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, issued on November 5, 2025, by Ameren.
99.2						Ameren’s unaudited consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, Balance Sheet at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024.

The Large Load Order also includes an earnings sharing mechanism that is expected to apply if Ameren Missouri’s earned return on equity (“ROE”) for the calendar year exceeds the midpoint of the MoPSC staff’s recommended ROE range in Ameren Missouri’s 2024 electric service regulatory rate review (9.74%), as subsequently adjusted by MoPSC orders in future Ameren Missouri electric service regulatory rate reviews. In that event, 65% of the exceedance will be deferred to a regulatory liability to be returned to retail electric customers in a future rate review. In addition, if large-load customer revenues from energy-based charges are reduced in a calendar year due to a force majeure event, as determined by the MoPSC, Ameren Missouri may defer a portion of the reduced revenues to a regulatory asset to be included in Ameren Missouri’s revenue requirement in the next succeeding rate case.
