Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a new temporary certificate on December 3, 2021 authorizing the continued operation of the Spire STL Pipeline (the “Pipeline”). The Pipeline can continue to operate while the FERC reviews the Pipeline’s long-term approval. This temporary certificate – issued under Section 7(c)(1)(B) of the Natural Gas Act – comes after the previously disclosed June 22, 2021 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the Pipeline’s FERC authorization and remanded it back to the FERC for further review.
