    <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 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-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; font-size: 12pt;">The Reporting Persons believe the decision by the Issuer&#8217;s Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) announced in a November 3, 2022 press release to review strategic alternatives for MDU
      Construction Services Group, Inc. with the goal of creating two pure-play companies: Knife River, a leading construction aggregates business, and a separate regulated energy distribution company, is the right strategic step for the Issuer.&#160; The
      separation will in our view best position the companies to capitalize on the significant growth and margin expansion opportunities available.&#160; We believe this transaction represents progress toward unlocking the full potential of the Issuer&#8217;s
      assets.&#160; We look forward to continuing to work constructively with the Issuer to help position each of the two pure play companies for maximizing their long term potential.</div>
    <div style="font-size: 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 Board, 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>
