The exceptions as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:\n\n•Certain property is situated on lands occupied under leases, easements, franchises, licenses, or permits. That property includes a portion of Ameren Missouri’s Osage Energy Center reservoir; certain facilities at Ameren Missouri’s Sioux Energy Center; most of Ameren Missouri’s High Prairie and Atchison energy centers; Ameren Missouri’s Boomtown, Cass County, Huck Finn, and Maryland Heights energy centers; certain substations; and most transmission and distribution lines and natural gas mains. The United States or the state of Missouri may own or may have paramount rights with respect to certain lands lying in the bed of the Osage River or located between the inner and outer harbor lines of the Mississippi River on which certain of Ameren Missouri’s energy centers and other properties are located.\n\n•The United States, the state of Illinois, the state of Iowa, or the city of Keokuk, Iowa, may own or may have paramount rights with respect to certain lands lying in the bed of the Mississippi River on which a portion of Ameren Missouri’s Keokuk Energy Center is located.\n\nSubstantially all of the properties and plant of Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois are subject to the liens of the indentures securing their respective mortgage bonds.\n\nAmeren Missouri operates the Huck Finn Energy Center located in Audrain and Ralls Counties, Missouri, and operates the Vandalia Energy Center located in Audrain County, Missouri. Ameren Missouri has rights and obligations as the operator of the energy centers under long-term agreements with Audrain and Ralls Counties. Under the terms of these agreements, Ameren Missouri is responsible for all operation and maintenance for both energy centers. The Vandalia Energy Center agreement is scheduled to expire in December 2050, and the Huck Finn Energy Center agreements are scheduled to expire in December 2059, at which time the property, plant, and equipment will become subject to the lien of the Ameren Missouri mortgage bond indenture."}
