Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders, As we reflect on 2025, I am both proud and grateful to share with you the remarkable progress OGE Energy Corp. has made during the past year. Our commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and affordable energy while investing in the future of our communities has never been stronger. The successes we achieved in 2025 have positioned us for continued growth and innovation as we move forward together. In 2025, we delivered on plan and met our commitments, and then some: •Delivered earnings at the top half of guidance;•Filed for recovery of power generation needs to meet continued growing demand;•Secured financing for long-term growth;•Leveraged strong local economies to drive job growth and investment in Oklahoma and western Arkansas;•Named an Oklahoma Top Workplace, a reflection of the employee experience and culture of success we foster;•Recognized by the Southeast Electric Exchange for having the best safety performance in the region; and •Continued our 80-year track record of uninterrupted dividend payments. These results aren’t accidental, they are the outcome of a committed and disciplined team of people dedicated to our customers, communities, shareholders, and each other. Strong execution & commitment to affordability: We welcomed thousands of new residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Oklahoma and western Arkansas, underscoring the trust our communities place in us. This growth is a testament to strong local

economies and the ability to leverage our low rates to drive increased external investment as we provide tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of those we serve.

2025 once again brought exceptional demand growth, with overall demand for electricity growing 25% over the last five years. We expect continued solid growth for the foreseeable future and are building the system to continue delivering the reliable and affordable energy our customers expect from us. Our relentless commitment to affordability led to non-fuel rates increasing at half the rate of inflation, even as we achieved a 6% earnings per share compound annual growth rate.

Our grid strengthening investments are paying off in improved reliability for customers with 99.96% system uptime. Our team responded to multiple severe weather events in our service area with agility and resilience, minimizing disruptions and restoring service swiftly. Our performance improves even as we set the bar higher, building on prior success. These achievements demonstrate our unwavering focus on operational excellence and our promise to keep the lights on for our customers, no matter the challenge.

Strategic equity issuance: In November 2025, the Company successfully completed a strategic equity issuance, strengthening our balance sheet and providing the capital needed to fund critical infrastructure projects and new generation investments. The strong response from both existing and new shareholders is a vote of confidence in our vision and execution. This infusion of capital has enabled us to accelerate our plans to meet growing demand with new generation assets, enhance our transmission network, and pursue innovative technologies. We are grateful for your trust and support, and we remain committed to delivering attractive long-term returns.

Compelling growth opportunities: Looking ahead, we are excited to report substantial progress on our new power generation projects and transmission system growth. Over the last 10 years, we’ve built and put approximately 1,000 megawatts of generation into service. In 2026, we will begin putting into service another 1,300 megawatts of generation before 2030. Our team delivers projects on time and under budget, driving costs down for customers as we harness growth opportunities for our states and communities. Transmission opportunities from the Southwest Power Pool will increase capacity and improve reliability for our customers. The growth we experience is the direct result of our low rates, which today are the lowest in the states in which we operate, and well below the regional and national average.

Our commitment to you: Our role extends beyond providing energy—we are a trusted partner in the communities we serve. We are proud to be a force for good, building stronger communities alongside our customers and partners.

As we close the books on 2025, I want to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued confidence and support. The investment case for OGE Energy is strong and we hope you will attend our virtual Annual Meeting. Your vote is important, so please cast it promptly, even if you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting.
