OGE Energy Corporation Annual Shareholder Meeting 2025

On May 15, 2025, OGE Energy Corp. (NYSE: OGE) conducted its Annual Meeting of Shareholders virtually, marking an important event for the company and its stakeholders. The meeting had a positive tone, with Chairman, President, and CEO Sean Trauschke delivering an uplifting speech that thanked the employees for their dedication and execution in serving customers. Trauschke highlighted that 2024 was a successful year with significant growth in community service and customer reliability.

During the meeting, Trauschke emphasized the company's focus on providing safe and reliable electricity at some of the most competitive rates in the U.S. He noted the positive impact of low rates on community development and the commitment of the dedicated team at OGE Energy to uphold a legacy of operational excellence and customer-centric service.

The event also included key corporate governance actions as shareholders voted on important items. A total of 10 new members were elected to the board of directors for one-year terms, which included prominent leaders from various industries:

• - Judy R. McReynolds (Lead Director, CEO of ArcBest Corporation)
• - Frank A. Bozich (CEO of Trinseo PLC)
• - Peter D. Clarke (Former Partner, Jones Day)
• - Cathy R. Gates (Former Assurance Partner, Ernst & Young LLP)
• - David L. Hauser (Former CEO of FairPoint Communications Inc.)
• - Luther C. Kissam, IV (Senior Advisor, Bernhard Capital Partners)
• - David E. Rainbolt (Executive Chairman, BancFirst Corporation)
• - J. Michael Sanner (Former Audit Partner, Ernst & Young LLP)
• - Sheila G. Talton (CEO of Gray Matter Analytics)
• - Sean Trauschke (current Chairman and CEO of OGE Energy Corp.)

Another significant decision made during the meeting was the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the principal independent accountants for the year 2025. Furthermore, shareholders voiced their opinions on executive compensation packages, which were approved on an advisory basis. An attempt to amend the Restated Certificate of Incorporation—aimed at eliminating certain voting provisions—did not succeed, as it fell short of the required votes.

As part of the financial updates presented, the board of directors declared a third-quarter dividend of $0.42125 per common share, consistent with the previous quarter. This dividend is set to be distributed on July 25, 2025, to shareholders recorded by July 7, 2025.

The OGE Energy Corp. serves approximately 909,000 customers across Oklahoma and western Arkansas and has consistently prioritized operational integrity, customer satisfaction, and community development.

Looking ahead, stakeholders are optimistic that OGE's ongoing dedication will yield favorable outcomes, ensuring stability and prosperity in the communities it serves.
