Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders, At OGE Energy, our purpose is to Energize Life. In 2024, we did just that as we marked another year of strong results for OGE Energy Corp. and OG&E, accelerating momentum for the future powered by electricity. We live our purpose daily as we strive to reach our north star of delivering safe, reliable, and affordable electricity every single day. This year, demand for electricity experienced exceptional growth along with healthy customer growth. These two factors create a bright future for your company, and we will continue to drive economic growth in Oklahoma and Arkansas. Low rates are the foundation of our sustainable business model to drive investment in communities from new and expanding businesses, creating jobs, small business development and, in turn, increasing the number of customers we serve. This virtuous cycle returns value to all stakeholders. In 2024, our team achieved success across the board, and I’m delighted to share some of the highlights with you:•Our system uptime was 99.94% in 2024, and when customers experienced outages last year, 98% were restored within 24 hours;•Construction is underway on nearly 450 MWs of generation at our Horseshoe Lake Power Plant – which also celebrated its centennial as did Muskogee Power Plant;•Another 100 MWs is under construction for Tinker Air Force Base coming online next year for the base expansion in 2028;•We continue to provide customers with enhanced self-service tools like our mobile app and website so they can do business with us 24/7 and use new insights to manage their energy usage and monthly bill;

We are using automation and AI to gain efficiencies and reduce costs;

And, finally, 2024 was another incredibly strong safety year. Our safety culture underpins our entire organization, and our team puts safety first.

I am so proud of Big Orange, those on the front line in our power plants and in our bucket trucks, and those who support our efforts to deliver on our responsibility to our customers. Because of the culture we have built together, our company was once again recognized as one of the Best In-State Employers in Oklahoma by Forbes magazine and a national 2024 Top Workplace. We continue to build a culture of excellence with our employees by living our shared values and taking care of each other every single day.

Increased demand for electricity delivers unique opportunities for us to further strengthen the grid and position OGE Energy to meet today’s rapidly growing energy needs and position us to become home to the industries that will power our future. We are expanding generation capacity to meet continued increasing demand with a balanced energy mix of cost-effective and proven technologies, as we explore the most promising new technologies for tomorrow.

Weather extremes in Oklahoma and Arkansas range from blistering heat to frigid cold and violent storms to ice, the investments we’ve made in reliability pay off for customers. We are strengthening and securing the energy grid to reduce and eliminate outages and recover faster when they happen. Customers expect us to build, maintain and grow a resilient energy grid that is ready for these weather extremes. Our system, from power generation to transmission and distribution, continues to perform well through it all.

Our performance in 2024 isn’t new and we expect it to continue well into the future. Our plans for 2025 build on these results, and if you compare those expectations to the past 10 years, we will have managed to keep:

Rates among the lowest in the nation, lower today than 10 years ago when adjusted for inflation;

Consolidated earnings per share, excluding midstream results, compound annual growth rate of 6%;

Dividend compound annual growth rate of 5%;

Controllable costs per customer increased less than 1% per year, well below inflation for the decade;

All while investing more, as our five-year capital plan has more than doubled.

We are incredibly proud that 30% of our shareholders are retail, or individual, investors – people just like you and me. Late last year, I heard from a woman whose father has been a shareholder for 40 years. He worked as an electrician, a trade he learned while in the Navy in the 1950s, which is one reason he became interested in OGE Energy. The daughter thanked us for being good stewards of the company – their OGE Energy stock dividend has provided income during retirement and helped this family build their American dream. There are countless stories like these across our 123-year history, and we look forward to being part of countless more over the next century and beyond.

History proves that at OGE Energy we do what we say we will. The investments we make deliver real results, build strong communities, and present opportunities that will propel us into the future.

I am excited about what the future holds for our company – thank you for your trust and investment in OGE Energy Corp.
