Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 28, 2026, Spire Resources LLC, a Missouri limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Spire Inc. (the “Seller”), and Boardwalk Pipelines, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”) (collectively the “Parties”), entered into a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Seller has agreed to sell to the Purchaser all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Spire Marketing Inc., a Missouri corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (the “Spire Marketing”), for a cash purchase price of equal to $215.0 million, subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Agreement (the “Transaction”).

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, Seller agrees to cause Spire Marketing to convert from a corporation organized in Missouri into a limited liability company organized in Delaware. The Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and closing conditions agreed to by the Parties, including assurances regarding ownership of the membership interests, compliance with applicable laws, and the accuracy of financial statements. Additionally, the Seller has agreed to certain post-closing covenants, including a four-year non-compete, a non-solicitation restriction and customary indemnification obligations. If the Agreement is terminated due to a failure to obtain clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the Purchaser is required to pay the Seller a termination fee of $12.9 million. The Transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of Spire Inc.’s fiscal year 2026.

In connection with the Transaction, Spire Inc. has entered into a Guaranty Agreement guaranteeing the obligations of the Seller under the Agreement and the other transaction documents.

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, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, Spire released an investor presentation providing additional detail on the Transaction, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information provided in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Actual outcomes or results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of changes in circumstances, assumptions not being realized or other risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to, conditions to the completion of the Transaction, such as receipt of required regulatory clearances, not being satisfied; closing of the Transaction being delayed or not occurring at all; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement; Spire being unable to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Transaction; significant transaction costs associated with the Transaction; the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm the businesses, including current plans and operations; the ability to retain and/or hire key personnel; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed Transaction; and other factors relating to the operations and financial performance discussed in Spire’s filings with the SEC.
