To the Holders of Our Common Stock:
The 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of NiSource Inc., a Delaware corporation, will be conducted in a virtual format only via live audio webcast on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NI2026, for the following purposes:
| 1 | To elect twelve directors named in the proxy statement to hold office until the next annual stockholders’ meeting and until their respective successors have been elected or appointed and qualified; |
| 2 | To approve the compensation of our named executive officers on an advisory basis; |
| 3 | To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026; and |
| To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. | |
|---|---|
The Annual Meeting will be conducted in a virtual format only to provide access to all of our stockholders regardless of geographic location. There is no in-person meeting for you to attend. A virtual-only meeting enables increased stockholder attendance and participation, improves efficiency, and reduces costs. We designed the format of the Annual Meeting to ensure that our stockholders who attend the Annual Meeting will be afforded similar rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting.
All stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 16, 2026, are eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.
This year, we are pleased to continue to help protect the environment and save costs by using the “Notice and Access” method of delivery. Instead of receiving paper copies of our proxy materials in the mail, many stockholders will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”).
YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. Although you may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website, we urge you to submit your vote as soon as possible as instructed in the Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form. You can vote via mail, telephone or the Internet.

General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
