ACQUISITIONS

Grover Hill Wind Project (Applies to AEP and APCo)

In May 2026, APCo completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Grover Hill Wind, LLC, the owner of the Grover Hill wind facility located in Paulding County, Ohio. This facility, placed in service in May 2026, serves both retail and wholesale customers in Virginia and West Virginia. The Virginia and West Virginia jurisdictional shares of the Grover Hill revenue requirement, net of PTC benefits, are recoverable through existing riders until the amounts are reflected in base rates. The acquisition of Grover Hill resulted in the recognition of operating leases for easement and access rights to the land on which the facility is located, as well as the associated ARO. In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition represented an asset acquisition. The table below summarizes the impact at acquisition on APCo’s balance sheets:

Oregon Clean Energy Center (Applies to AEP and I&M)

In March 2026, I&M completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Oregon Clean Energy, LLC, the owner of the Oregon Clean Energy Center (Oregon Plant), a natural gas-powered, combined-cycle electric generation facility located in Oregon, Ohio. The Oregon Plant began commercial operations in 2017. I&M acquired the Oregon Plant to provide capacity and energy to both I&M Indiana and FERC jurisdictional customers. As approved by the IURC in November 2025 and prior to incorporation into the development of Indiana base rates, I&M reflects costs associated with the Oregon Plant either as eligible costs for recovery through existing I&M Indiana riders or in I&M’s ongoing Indiana earnings test evaluation.

In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of the Oregon Plant represented an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is accounted for using a cost accumulation model with the cost of the acquisition allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair value. The table below summarizes the impact at acquisition on I&M’s balance sheets:


Plant Name	Fuel Type	Net Maximum Capacity	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net		Prepayments and Other Current Assets		Materials and Supplies		Accounts Receivable		Accounts Payable


		(MWs)	(in millions)
Oregon Plant	Natural Gas	870	$	918	$	35	$	5	$	16	$	9

Pixley Solar Energy Facility, Flat Ridge IV Wind Energy Facility and Green Country Power Plant (Applies to AEP and PSO)

In May 2025, PSO acquired 100% of the equity interests in Pixley Solar Energy, LLC, the owner of the newly constructed Pixley solar energy facility in Barber County, Kansas. The Pixley facility, placed in service in May 2025, serves both retail and wholesale customers in Oklahoma. PSO’s revenue requirement is recoverable through an authorized rider until it is incorporated into base rates. Regulatory approval of Pixley’s output in retail rates included capital cost, performance and other guarantees, which may subject PSO to future regulatory liabilities. In June 2025, PSO also acquired 100% of the equity interests in Flat Ridge IV Wind, LLC, the owner of the newly constructed Flat Ridge IV Wind Energy Facility located in Kingman and Harper Counties, Kansas. This facility, also placed in service in June 2025, serves both retail and wholesale customers under similar recovery and regulatory provisions as the Pixley facility. The acquisitions of Pixley and Flat Ridge IV also resulted in the recognition of operating leases for easement and access rights to the land on which the facilities are located, as well as the associated ARO. In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisitions of Pixley and Flat Ridge IV represented asset acquisitions.

Additionally, in June 2025, PSO completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Green Country Energy, LLC, the owner of a combined-cycle natural gas facility located in Jenks, Oklahoma, following approvals from both the FERC and the OCC. The transaction included the acquisition of a previously executed capacity sales agreement between Green Country Energy, LLC, as seller, and SWEPCo, as purchaser. Since July 2025, PSO sells a portion of Green Country’s capacity to SWEPCo, and this arrangement will continue through May 2027, when the agreement ends. The acquisition also resulted in the extinguishment of a previously executed capacity sales agreement between Green Country Energy, LLC, as seller, and PSO, as purchaser. In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of Green Country represented an asset acquisition. Asset acquisitions are accounted for using a cost accumulation model, with the cost of the acquisition allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair value. The liabilities recognized for the capacity sales agreements will reduce PSO’s revenue requirement to recover its overall investment in Green Country, which is recoverable through a rider authorized by the OCC until it is included in base rates for the depreciable life of the facility. Management elected the income approach for its nonrecurring valuation of both the intangible liability and regulatory liability. Specifically, management applied a discounted cash flow model based on a forward market price assumption.

In the first half of 2025, PSO expanded its generation portfolio by acquiring three electric generation facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $1.4 billion. The table below summarizes the impact at acquisition on PSO’s balance sheets:


Plant Name	State	Fuel Type	Net Maximum Capacity (MWs)	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net		Operating Lease Assets		Asset Retirement Obligations		Other Liabilities


				(in millions)
Pixley	KS	Solar	189	$	380	$	9	$	12	$	—

(a)$50 million included in Regulatory Liabilities and Deferred Investment Tax Credits, $21 million included in Other Current Liabilities and $20 million included in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on PSO’s balance sheets.
