<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On May&#160;30, 2023, the issuance of <span style="background-color: white">$115&#160;million
aggregate principal amount of 5.24% FMBs due 2026 (&#8220;2026 Bonds&#8221;), $50&#160;million aggregate principal amount of 5.07% FMBs

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Bonds are issued under and secured by that certain Indenture dated
as of September&#160;1, 1945 between Consumers Energy and The Bank of New York Mellon (ultimate successor to City Bank Farmers Trust Company),
as trustee, as supplemented and amended by various supplemental indentures (the &#8220;Indenture&#8221;), including the 149<sup>th</sup>
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May&#160;30, 2023 (the &#8220;Supplemental Indenture&#8221;), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit&#160;4.1
and incorporated herein by reference. Any or all of the Bonds may be redeemed by Consumers Energy, at any time and from time to time prior
to maturity, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds being redeemed plus, in the case of any redemption
prior to the applicable par call date, the applicable premium, if any, thereon at the time of redemption, together with accrued interest,
if any, thereon to the redemption date. In no event will the redemption price be less than 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being
redeemed plus accrued interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Indenture provides for customary events of default, which include
(subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other
agreements in the Indenture; and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs
and is continuing under the Indenture, either the trustee or the holders of at least 20% in aggregate principal amount of the bonds then
outstanding may declare the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the bonds to be immediately due and payable.</p>
