The objective of the fund is to provide a guaranteed and stable return to investors. The Synthetic GIC held by the Plan includes a &#8220;wrapper&#8221; contract that provides a guaranteed interest crediting rate, which is reset quarterly and cannot fall below 0%. </span></div><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Plan's investment in the Prudential Stable Value Fund is fully benefit-responsive and is therefore presented in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits at contract value. Contract value represents participant contributions, accreted by the applicable interest crediting rate and reduced by withdrawals and fund management fees. Contract value is also indicative of fair value because it represents the amount that the participant would transact at under the terms of the Plan. There are no required redemption notice periods or restrictions as investments can be liquidated immediately at current market value. </span></div><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Certain events may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value and are contract specific. Examples of such events include the following: (1) announcement of the Company's intention to terminate the Plan, (2) announcement of the Company's intention to merge or consolidate the Plan with another tax qualified plan, and (3) determination by the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan does not meet the requirements of a qualified program under Section 401(a) of the Code. No events are probable of occurring that may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the contract issuers and that also would limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the participants. </span></div><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In addition, certain events may allow the issuer to terminate the contracts with the Plan and settle at an amount different from contract value. Such events are contract specific and include the following: (1) a material breach of the contract provisions and (2) a breach of the Plan's investment guidelines, including prohibition on competing investments, that has not been remediated.</span></div><span></span>

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (&#x201c;ERISA&#x201d;) as amended.

Effective October 1, 2025, the Middlesex 401(k) Retirement Plan was merged into the Plan.

Contributions for all Plan participants are calculated as a percentage of compensation (as defined in the Plan) based on contribution limits established by the Administrator. Non-highly compensated employees (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (the &#x201c;Code&#x201d;)) are allowed to contribute between 1% and 40% of their eligible compensation on either a before-tax, after-tax, or Roth basis in any combination. Highly compensated employees are allowed to contribute between 1% and 20% of eligible compensation, in any combination of before-tax, after-tax or Roth contributions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Plan must meet the actual deferral percentage tests in Section&#160;401(k)(3)(A) of the Code. All participants&#x2019; before-tax contributions are limited, however, to an indexed annual amount prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service (the &#x201c;IRS&#x201d;), which amounted to $23,500 in 2025. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;All employees who are eligible to make deferrals under the Plan and who have attained age 50, or who will attain ages 60 through 63 before the close of the Plan year, may elect to make additional &#x201c;catch-up&#x201d; contributions or "super catch-up" contributions, respectively, for the Plan year. For 2025, the maximum catch-up and super catch-up contribution permitted under  the Code was $7,500 and $11,250, respectively.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:9pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Participants are able to designate part or all of their future contributions as Roth 401(k) contributions.

For Plan participants who were employees of the Company as of April&#160;30, 2002, and elected to be covered under the Traditional Design feature of the Plan, the Plan provides for a Company matching contribution equal to 70% of the first 2.5% of the participant&#x2019;s compensation contributed to the Plan and 40% of the next 5% of the participant&#x2019;s compensation contributed to the Plan. The Company matching contributions are made in cash and immediately invested in accordance with the participant&#x2019;s investment directions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In lieu of the Company matching contributions and other Company contributions described above, Plan participants who are regular/full-time employees of LG&amp;amp;E are immediately eligible for Company contributions as outlined below.

The objective of the fund is to provide a guaranteed and stable return to investors. The Synthetic GIC held by the Plan includes a &#x201c;wrapper&#x201d; contract that provides a guaranteed interest crediting rate, which is reset quarterly and cannot fall below 0%. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The Plan's investment in the Prudential Stable Value Fund is fully benefit-responsive and is therefore presented in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits at contract value. Contract value represents participant contributions, accreted by the applicable interest crediting rate and reduced by withdrawals and fund management fees.
