Assumptions Used to Calculate Fair Value of Awards

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the awards were as follows:

	2023	2022	2021
Risk-free interest rate (a)	4.06% - 4.64%	4.41% - 4.73%	0.39% -0.73%
Expected term (b)	3 years	3 years	3 years
Expected share price volatility (c)	17.88% - 19.92%	19.65% - 21.77%	17.25% - 31.42%

(a)The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve.

(b)The expected term of the Performance RSUs equals the vesting period. The Companies do not expect significant forfeitures to occur.

(c)Based on historical experience. The Companies would reevaluate this assumption if market conditions or business developments would reasonably indicate that future volatility might differ materially from historical experience.

Summary of Changes in Status of Performance RSUs

A summary of changes in the status of the Performance RSUs’ TSR and non-TSR portions during the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

	Con Edison			CECONY
		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (a)			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (a)
	Units	TSR Portion (b)	Non-TSR Portion (c)	Units	TSR Portion (b)	Non-TSR Portion (c)
Non-vested at December 31, 2022	865,091	$80.02	$80.04	647,826	$79.89	$80.16
Granted	266,200	91.93	90.93	204,466	92.27	91.34
Vested	(264,568)	79.69	89.62	(205,078)	79.40	88.75
Forfeited	(28,420)	86.23	82.22	(8,741)	85.24	81.02
Non-vested at December 31, 2023	838,303	$83.70	$80.40	638,473	$83.94	$80.97

(a)The TSR and non-TSR Portions each account for 50 percent of the awards’ value.

(b)Fair value is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation described above. Weighted average grant date fair value does not reflect any accrual or payment of dividends prior to vesting.

(c)Fair value is determined using the market price of one share of Con Edison common stock on the grant date. The market price has not been discounted to reflect that dividends do not accrue and are not payable on Performance RSUs until vesting.
