subsidiary of Otter Tail Corporation, filed a request with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission (SDPUC) for an increase in revenue recoverable under general rates in South Dakota. In its filing, OTP requested a net increase in annual revenue of $5.7 million, or 12.5%, based on a requested rate of return on rate base of 8.29% and a requested rate of return on equity of 10.8% on an equity ratio of 53.54% of total capital. Through this proceeding, OTP has proposed changes to the mechanism of cost and investment recovery for certain items, with recovery moving from riders into base rates. OTP has proposed that the change in rates be effective upon the earlier of (i) the SDPUC&#8217;s final disposition of the request or (ii) 180 days from the filing of the request pending the SDPUC&#8217;s final decision, subject to potential refunds for any adjustments upon finalization. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="height:54pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><span><br/></span></div></div></div><div id="i840ced4983b24869a95dcbd440bf3618_10"></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:54pt;width:100%"><div><span><br/></span></div></div><div style="margin-top:18pt;text-align:center"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">SIGNATURE</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:95.000%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:49.630%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:3.285%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/><td style="width:1.0%"/><td style="width:43.785%"/><td style="width:0.1%"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"/><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">OTTER TAIL CORPORATION</span></td></tr><tr style="height:14pt"><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"/><td colspan="6" style="padding:0 1pt"/></tr><tr style="height:14pt"><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"/><td colspan="6" style="padding:0 1pt"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Date: June 5, 2025</span></div></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">By:</span></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">/s/&#160;Todd R.
