consisting of 3,500,000 Corporate Units) (the &#147;Equity Units&#148;) will be replaced by a portfolio of short-term U.S. Treasury securities in accordance with the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. This portfolio of U.S. Treasury Securities
will be pledged to us through the collateral agent under the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement to secure the obligations of the holders of the Equity Units to purchase shares of our common stock under the purchase contracts forming a part of
the Equity Units. Such purchase contracts are scheduled to be settled on March&nbsp;1, 2024, at which time the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement provides for us to issue up to approximately 2.7&nbsp;million shares of our common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $175,000,000. We intend to use the net proceeds of the settlement of such purchase contracts to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. </P>

September&nbsp;30, 2023, the rating agencies that provide us with credit ratings from time to time implement new requirements for various rating levels, which may require us to take steps to change our business plans in ways that may affect our
results of operations. Our credit ratings are investment grade, but are subject to review and change by the rating agencies. Such ratings are limited in scope and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the Notes, but rather
reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such credit ratings will be issued or remain in
effect for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency&#146;s judgment, circumstances so warrant. It is also possible that such ratings may be
lowered in connection with the application of the proceeds of this offering or in connection with future events, such as future acquisitions. Holders of the Notes will have no recourse against us or any other parties in the event of a change in or
suspension or withdrawal of such ratings. Any lowering, suspension or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price or marketability of the Notes. In addition, any decline in the ratings of the Notes may make it more
difficult for us to raise capital on acceptable terms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We must rely on cash from our subsidiaries to make payments on the Notes. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiaries and substantially all of our consolidated assets are held by our subsidiaries.
Accordingly, our cash flow and our ability to meet our obligations under the Notes are largely dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment of these earnings to us in the form of dividends or, in the case of
non-utility subsidiaries, loans. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the Notes or to make any funds available for payment of amounts due on the Notes. Any payment of dividends,
loans or advances by our subsidiaries to us could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions and will be contingent upon the subsidiaries&#146; earnings and business considerations. Our right to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries
upon their bankruptcy, liquidation or similar reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the Notes to participate in those assets, will be structurally subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors, including trade
creditors, as described below. Even if we are a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our subsidiaries senior to that
held by us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Notes are structurally subordinated to any existing or future preferred stock, indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities of

existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries. Therefore, our rights as sole shareholder and the rights of our creditors, including the rights of the holders of the Notes, to participate in the liquidation of assets of any subsidiary will be
subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary&#146;s creditors. To the extent that we may be a creditor with recognized claims against any of our subsidiaries, our claims would still be effectively subordinated to any security

that held by us. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, our subsidiaries had approximately $2,771.1 million principal amount of outstanding long-term debt to external sources (including securities due within one year), which would be senior to our rights as
sole shareholder and, as applicable, creditor of those companies. Our subsidiaries have no preferred securities outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The indenture does not

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture under which the notes will be issued does not limit the amount of debt that we may incur. The indenture does not contain any
financial covenants or other provisions that would afford the holders of the Notes any substantial protection in the event we participate in a highly leveraged transaction. Also, as of December&nbsp;31, 2023, our subsidiaries had approximately
$2,771.1 million principal amount of outstanding long-term debt to external sources (including securities due within one year), which would be senior to our rights as sole shareholder and, as applicable, creditor of those companies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, all of Spire Missouri&#146;s long-term debt is issued as first mortgage bonds under its mortgage and deed of trust and is secured
by a lien on substantially all of its utility plant. The mortgage and deed of trust contains several restrictions on Spire Missouri&#146;s ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock. These provisions are applicable regardless of whether or
not the stock is publicly held or, as has been the case since the formation of the holding company, held solely by Spire. Under the most restrictive of these provisions, no cash dividend may be declared or paid if, after the dividend, the aggregate
net amount spent for all dividends after September&nbsp;30, 1953 would exceed a maximum amount determined by a formula set out in the mortgage and deed of trust. Under that formula, the maximum amount is the sum of $8 million plus earnings
applicable to Spire Missouri&#146;s common stock (adjusted for stock repurchases and issuances) for the period from September&nbsp;30, 1953 to the last day of the quarter before the declaration or payment date for the dividends. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2023, the amount under the mortgage and deed of trust&#146;s formula that was available to pay dividends was approximately $1,735.6 million. Thus, all of Spire Missouri&#146;s retained earnings were free from such restrictions as
of that date. Spire Alabama&#146;s utility plant is not subject to any mortgage liens and therefore the payment of dividends by Spire Alabama as no similar restrictions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we incur additional debt or liabilities, our ability to pay our obligations on the Notes could be adversely affected. We expect that we
will from time to time incur additional debt and other liabilities. In addition, the indenture does not limit our ability to pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase shares of our common stock. Any such transaction could adversely affect you.

list the Notes for trading on any securities exchange or to include the Notes in any automated quotation system. We cannot provide assurance that an active trading market for the Notes will develop or as to the liquidity or sustainability of any

in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future), the liquidity of the market for the Notes, the market for similar securities and the time remaining to maturity of the Notes. Future trading prices of the Notes also may be affected by our
business, financial condition, results of operations and credit ratings and could be affected by the business, results of operations and credit ratings of our affiliates. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the price at which holders will
be able to sell their Notes. </P>

provide various services including safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Euroclear and Clearstream Banking also deal with domestic securities markets in
several countries through established depository and custodial relationships. Euroclear and Clearstream Banking have established an electronic bridge between their two systems across which their respective participants may settle trades with each
other. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Euroclear and Clearstream Banking customers are world-wide financial institutions including underwriters, securities brokers and

Direct Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Direct Participants&#146; accounts, which eliminates the need for physical movement of
securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing
Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated
subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly
(&#147;Indirect Participants&#148;). The rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the SEC. </P>

which receive a credit for the Notes on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each note (&#147;Beneficial Owner&#148;) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants&#146; records. Beneficial
Owners will not receive written confirmations from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or
Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of
Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Notes except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Notes is discontinued. As a result, the ability of a person having a
beneficial interest in the Notes to pledge such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or to otherwise take actions with respect to such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing
such interest. In addition, the laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own and that security interests in negotiable instruments can only be perfected by delivery of
certificates representing the instruments. Consequently, the ability to transfer the Notes evidenced by the global notes will be limited to such extent. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all of the Notes deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s
partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee do not effect
any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Notes; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts the Notes are credited, which may or may not be the
Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beneficial Owners of the Notes may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with
respect to the Notes, such as tenders, defaults and proposed amendments to the documents related to the Notes. For example, Beneficial Owners of the Notes may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Notes for their benefit has agreed to
obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Notes. Under its usual procedures,
DTC mails an omnibus proxy (&#147;Omnibus Proxy&#148;) to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#146;s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Notes
are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payments of principal, interest and premium, if
any, on the Notes will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit Direct Participants&#146; accounts upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and
corresponding detail information from us on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices,
as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name&#148; and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements

administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This summary only addresses the tax consequences of those persons who are beneficial owners of
the Notes, who purchase the Notes at their offering price for cash pursuant to this offering and who hold such Notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code, who we refer to as &#147;Holders.&#148; This summary does not
purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular Holders in light of their particular investment circumstances or status, nor does it address specific tax consequences that may be relevant to
particular persons (including, for example, banks, financial institutions, broker-dealers, securities and commodities traders, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, partnerships or other pass-through
entities, former U.S. citizens or residents, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, companies that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, tax-exempt organizations, persons subject to the alternative
minimum tax, U.S. persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S.&nbsp;Dollar or who hold Notes through non-U.S. brokers or other non-U.S. intermediaries or persons in special situations, such as those who have elected to mark securities
to market, those who hold the Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment or those required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to a Note as a result of such income
being recognized on an applicable financial statement). In addition, this summary does not address U.S. federal alternative minimum, estate, generation skipping and gift tax consequences, consequences under the tax laws of any state, local or
foreign jurisdiction, or consequences under any U.S. federal tax laws other than income tax law. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in

particular circumstances and on the activities of the partnership. If you are an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes acquiring Notes (or a partner in such a partnership), you should consult your tax

payments made to &#147;foreign financial institutions,&#148; as specially defined under FATCA, and certain other non-U.S. entities. FATCA generally imposes a 30% withholding tax on (i)&nbsp;payments of U.S.-source interest and (ii)&nbsp;subject to
the proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations discussed below, gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of debt instruments that produce U.S.-source income, in each case paid to a foreign financial institution unless the foreign financial
institution is deemed to be compliant with FATCA or enters into an agreement with the IRS to, among other things, undertake to identify accounts held by certain United States persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain
information about such accounts and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements. In addition, FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax on the same types of payments to a
non-financial foreign entity of a certain type unless the entity certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information to the IRS or to the withholding agent regarding each substantial U.S. owner. While
withholding under FATCA also would have applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of Notes on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding
on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations until they are revoked or final U.S. Treasury Regulations are issued. An intergovernmental agreement between the jurisdiction of the
foreign entity and the U.S. may modify the general FATCA rules described in this paragraph. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the Notes. </P>

&#147;shelf&#148; registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer and sell, from time to time, any combination of securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. The registration statement we filed with the SEC of
which this prospectus is a part includes or incorporates by reference exhibits that provide more detail on descriptions of matters discussed in this prospectus. Each time we offer and sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that
will contain specific information about the terms of that offering, including the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities offered. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If
there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement. You should read this prospectus and the related exhibits filed with the SEC and any
prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; </P>

described in our annual, quarterly and current reports filed with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus before making an investment
decision. The prospectus supplement applicable to each type or series of securities we offer may contain a discussion of additional risks applicable to an investment in us and the particular types of securities we are offering under that prospectus
supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="toca165155_3"></A>WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION </B></P>

disclose important information by referring you to those documents. The information we incorporate by reference is an important part of this prospectus or any prospectus supplement relating to an offering of our securities and information that we
file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any future filings made with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15 of the Exchange Act from the
time we file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part until the termination of all offerings under such registration statement. These documents contain important information about us and our finances. We are not, however,
incorporating, in each case, any documents or information that we are deemed to furnish and not file in accordance with SEC rules. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

capital stock, consisting of 70,000,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $25.00 par value per share. Our Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) has designated 10,000 shares of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is not the intent of the Board to discourage legitimate offers to enhance shareholder value. Provisions of our articles of incorporation or
bylaws, however, may have the effect of discouraging unilateral tender offers or other attempts to acquire our business. These provisions include the classification of our directors with three-year staggered terms, the requirement that director
nominations by shareholders be made not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the shareholder meeting, and the ability of the Board, without further action of the holders of common stock, to issue one or more series of preferred
stock from time to time, which may have terms more favorable than the common stock, including, among other things, preferential dividend, liquidation, voting and redemption rights. These provisions might discourage a potentially interested purchaser
from attempting a unilateral takeover bid for us on terms that some shareholders might favor. If these provisions discourage potential takeover bids, they might limit the opportunity for our shareholders to sell their shares at a premium. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, our articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting permits
shareholders to multiply their number of votes by the total number of directors being elected and to cast their total number of votes for one or more candidates in each shareholder&#146;s discretion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our bylaws also include provisions setting forth specific conditions and restrictions under which business may be transacted at meetings of
shareholders. For example, no business may be transacted at a meeting unless it is (a)&nbsp;specified in the notice of meeting, (b)&nbsp;otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or a committee thereof or
(c)&nbsp;brought before the meeting by a shareholder of record who provided notice and other specified information in writing to the corporate secretary not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the meeting. These provisions may restrict the
content of the issues to be discussed at a shareholders meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of our
common or preferred stock may have an anti-takeover effect. These shares might be issued by the Board without shareholder approval in transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of a takeover transaction by, for
example, diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquiror. In this regard, our articles of incorporation grant the Board broad powers to establish the rights and preferences of the authorized but unissued preferred stock, one or more series
of which could be issued entitling holders to vote separately as a class on any proposed merger or consolidation, to convert the stock into shares of our common stock or possibly other securities, to demand redemption at a specified price under
prescribed circumstances related to a change in control or to exercise other rights designed to impede a takeover. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Missouri Shareholder Protection
Statutes </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are subject to Missouri corporate statutes that restrict the voting rights of a person who acquires 20% or more of our

acquisition statute provides that shares acquired that would cause the acquiring person&#146;s aggregate voting power to meet or exceed any of three thresholds (20%, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">33-1/3%</FONT> or a majority) have no voting
rights unless such voting rights are granted by a majority vote of the holders of the shares not owned by the acquiring person or any of our officers or directors or employee-directors. The statute sets out a procedure under which the acquiring
person may call a special shareholders meeting for the purpose of considering whether voting rights should be conferred. Acquisitions as part of a merger or exchange offer arising out of an agreement to which we are a party are exempt from the
statute. </P>

liquidation, dissolution, reclassification of securities, loan, advance, guarantee, pledge or tax credit. Generally, the statute prohibits for five years from the date one becomes an interested shareholder a business combination between us and the
interested shareholder unless the business combination or the interested shareholder&#146;s stock acquisition was approved by the&nbsp;Board&nbsp;on or before that date. An interested shareholder may enter into a business combination with us after
