MDU RESOURCES GROUP INC

Note 19 -Subsequent event

On October 31, 2024, the Company completed the separation of Everus, its construction services business, resulting in Everus becoming an independent, publicly-traded company. The Company's board of directors approved the distribution of all the outstanding shares of Everus common stock to the Company's stockholders. Stockholders of the Company received one share of Everus common stock for every four shares of the Company's common stock held as of the close of business on October 21, 2024, the record date for the distribution. The distribution is expected to be tax-free to the Company's stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares. More information on the separation and distribution can be found within Everus' Form 10, which is not incorporated by reference herein.

On November 1, 2024, the Company repaid its outstanding balance of $190.0 million on its $375.0 million term loan agreement which the Company entered into on May 31, 2023, with a SOFR-based variable interest rate and a maturity date of May 31, 2025. The Company's repayment was facilitated by the repayment of debt proceeds from Everus in connection with the separation and the term loan agreement was subsequently terminated.
