Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None of the Company’s directors or officers adopted, modified, or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended Dec. 31, 2024.

The company and CEO entered into an aircraft time sharing agreement allowing the CEO to reimburse the company for costs associated with non-business use of company aircraft. A copy of the agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.30 hereto. Xcel Energy encourages non-business use of the company aircraft by the CEO when that use does not interfere with the use of company aircraft for business purposes and provides non-reimbursable access to the CEO for up to 100 hours per annum. Among other advantages, non-business use of the aircraft provides efficiencies, a confidential work environment and enhanced security.
