On August 18, 2025, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Black Hills and Merger Sub, that provides for an all-stock merger of equals between NorthWestern and Black Hills (the Merger). The Merger Agreement provides for Merger Sub to merge with and into NorthWestern, with NorthWestern continuing as the surviving entity and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Black Hills, which would assume the new corporate name of Bright Horizon Energy as the resulting parent company of the combined corporate group. The Merger will combine the strengths of both companies, resulting in an organization with greater scale, financial stability, and operational expertise. It is designed to create a stronger, more resilient energy company focused on delivering safe, reliable, and affordable energy solutions to customers. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock of NorthWestern issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to closing will be converted into the right to receive 0.98 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Black Hills, par value $1.00 per share (Black Hills Common Stock). See Note 3 - Pending Merger with Black Hills Corporation to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information regarding this pending Merger.
