Rate Case Update What has Happened FERC initiated a Section 5 Rate Case on 9/19/24. Vector has received 3 sets of data requests from FERC Trial Staff to date 168 Questions with subparts Still working on responses to the last set Vector filed the required Cost & Revenue Study on 12/03/24 Vector received a limited time settlement offer from FERC Trial Staff on 12/10/24 Vector filed a petition for review in Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, challenging FERC s initiation of the proceeding 9
Rate Case Update Upcoming Events Staff / Intervenor Testimony 3/18/25 Vector Answering Testimony 5/7/25 Staff / Intervenor Cross-testimony & rebuttal testimony 6/18/25 Hearing 7/15/25 Initial Briefs 9/2/25 Reply Briefs 9/23/25 Initial Decision 10/28/25 Commission Order implementing rates estimated 4/27 10
Rate Case Update Vector s Perspective Vector s preference is to reach an amicable settlement with its Shippers Vector is unwilling to settle at the rate proposed by the FERC Trial Staff Limited Time Offer of ~$0.072/dth. Although the required Cost & Revenue Study resulted in a rate of ~$0.121/dth, Vector is unwilling to settle at that rate, and Vector's current rate structure is out of date. Vector is considering adding more rate zones to better reflect how its system is used today, which includes bi-directional transportation on a long-haul and short-haul basis 11
Rate Case Update Intro to new rate development Vector is considering breaking the system into more zones (3 or even possibly 4 zones). Rate zones will be additive and the potential separations points could be as follows; Zone 1: Joliet to Indiana/Michigan Border Zone 2: Indiana/Michigan Border to Ingham Co./ Livingston Co. Border Zone 3: Ingham Co./ Livingston Co. Border to International Border Shippers will only be paying for the portion of the system that they are using 12
Rate Case Update Rate Structure Vector s Current Rate Structure - 2 non-additive Zones - Zone 1: Joliet to NIPSCO Crown Point / Rate ~ $0.037/dth - Zone 2: Joliet to the International Border / Rate ~ $0.232/dth Potential Vector Zonal rates Zone 1 & 2: rate will be similar for each of these 2 zones. Higher Net Plant and lower throughput than Zone 3 Zone 3: lower rate due to lower cost of service and higher throughput. Primary Impact to Shippers: Westbound Recourse Shippers will see a 10-20% decrease in rates. Discounted short-haul may also receive a discounted rate. 13

Rate Case Update Path Forward / Next Steps Obtain feedback on zonal rate structure concept. Work with interested Shippers towards settlement. Share more defined zonal rate structure with interested parties. Alternatively, Vector is willing to consider settling under the current rate structure Vector s goal is to reach settlement expeditiously However, Vector is prepared to fully prosecute the Section 5 case and possibly initiate a Section 4 rate case. 16
