      &#8220;Reporting Persons&#8221;). This statement relates to Shares held for the accounts of certain private investment funds for which Corvex acts as investment adviser, including Corvex Master Fund, LP and Corvex Select Equity Master Fund LP, each a Cayman
      Islands limited partnership, the general partner of each of which is controlled by Mr. Meister (collectively, the &#8220;Corvex Funds&#8221;). The general partner of Corvex is controlled by Mr. Meister. The principal business address of each of Corvex and Mr.
      Meister is 667 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10065. The principal business of Corvex is serving as the investment adviser of private investment funds, whose principal business is investing in securities. Mr. Meister&#8217;s principal occupation is serving
      as the Managing Partner of Corvex. A joint filing agreement of Corvex and Mr. Meister is attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 1</u>.</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">During the last five years, none of Corvex, Mr. Meister or any of the Corvex Funds has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
      misdemeanors) or has been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or

      was approximately $269,568,910.05.</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">Various of the Reporting Persons may effect purchases of securities through margin accounts maintained for the Corvex Funds with brokers, which extend margin credit as and
      when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms&#8217; credit policies. Positions in Shares may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as
      collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts.</div>

    <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">
      <div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares over which they exercise beneficial ownership in the belief that the Shares are undervalued and are an attractive investment.</div>
      <div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">The Reporting Persons commend the Issuer&#8217;s Board and management on their recently announced decision to separate Knife River through a tax-free spinoff to shareholders.&#160; This transaction is a positive first step
        towards removing the significant discount embedded in MDU shares.&#160; The Reporting Persons intend to enter into discussions with the Board and management of the Issuer to discuss: (1) additional strategic alternatives to further maximize shareholder
        value; and (2) plans to enhance the earnings potential of the Issuer&#8217;s assets to levels commensurate with industry peers.</div>
      <div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the
        Issuer&#8217;s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer&#8217;s Board of Directors, price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general
        economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to their investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. These actions may include, without limitation: (i) acquiring additional Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other
        securities, or derivative or other instruments that are convertible into Shares, or are based upon or relate to the value of the Shares or the Issuer (collectively, &#8220;Securities&#8221;) in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of
        their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4
        of Schedule 13D.</div>

    <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">(a)-(b) Corvex may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 10,147,041 Shares, which represents approximately 4.99% of the Issuer&#8217;s outstanding Shares. By virtue of his
      position as control person of the general partner of Corvex, Mr. Meister may be considered to beneficially own such Shares. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of 10,147,041 Shares.</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">The percentage calculated in the immediately foregoing paragraph is calculated based on a total of 203,350,740 Shares outstanding as of July 29, 2022, as reported in the
      Issuer&#8217;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 5, 2022.</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">(c) Except as set forth in <u>Exhibit 2</u> attached hereto, there have been no transactions in the Shares during the sixty days prior to the date hereof by any of the
      Reporting Persons.</div>
    <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">(d) The limited partners of (or investors in) each of the private investment funds for which Corvex or its affiliates acts as general partner and/or investment adviser have
      the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held for the accounts of their respective funds in accordance with their respective limited partnership interests (or investment percentages) in their

    <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">The Corvex Funds have entered into cash-settled swaps that represent economic long-side exposure comparable to a notional interest in <font style="font-weight: normal;">1,194,435</font>
      Shares (representing economic exposure comparable to approximately 0.59% of the outstanding Shares). Under the terms of the swaps, the value to be received or paid upon termination of a swap will be determined by the difference in the market price
      per notional Share on the date of termination as compared to the cost of such notional Share at the time of entry into the swap.&#160; Each swap has a term of<font style="font-weight: bold;"> <font style="font-weight: normal;">3 years from issuance</font>
      </font>and a cost basis of between <font style="font-weight: normal;">$27.65</font> and <font style="font-weight: normal;">$29.72</font> per share, and the counterparties to the swaps are unaffiliated third party financial institutions.&#160; All
      balances will be settled in cash. The swaps do not give the Reporting Persons or Corvex Funds direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the Issuer and do not require the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold,
      vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership of any Shares that may be referenced in the swap contracts or Shares or other securities or financial instruments that may be held
      from time to time by any counterparty to the contracts.</div>
