−Removed: • Under both incentive plans (EAIP and LTIP), the potential maximum earned payout achievement was reduced from 200 percent to 150 percent of the CEO's target opportunity.
−Removed: • Under the Severance Plan, the CEO's cash severance was reduced as a result of a change in the cash severance formula from (1) 1.5 times the sum of the CEO's salary and target EAIP to (2) 1.0 times the CEO's salary.
−Removed: The above changes are a cumulative result of specific recommendations presented to the Committee by the Executive Compensation Task Force ("ECTF"), which was created in December 2023 and consisted of a subset of members of the TVA Board.

−Removed: Amendment to Compensation Board Practice
−Removed: On August 22, 2024, the TVA Board approved amendments to the Board Practice adopted on May 9, 2024, to allow the CEO to approve compensation of his or her executive direct reports within ranges of total compensation that are approved annually by the Chair of the Committee.

−Removed: This standard discretionary range allows the TVA Board to account for extraordinary events or significant occurrences that impact TVA's performance.

−Removed: As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, TVA is providing the following information regarding the annual total compensation of TVA's CEO position and the annual total compensation of the median employee of the company:
−Removed: • The total compensation for the CEO position for 2024 was $10,536,962.
−Removed: • F or 2024, the median employee's annual total compensation wa s $163,779.
−Removed: Based o n this information, the pay ratio of the total compensation for the CEO position to the median employee was approximately 64 to 1.
−Removed: To identify the median employee and to determine the annual total compensation of the median employee, TVA took the following steps:
−Removed: • TVA selected Septemb er 30, 2024, as the date on which to identify its median employee.
−Removed: On September 30, 2024, TVA's employee population that had earnings in 2024 (including full-time, part-time, and temporary employees) consisted of 11,267 individual s located in the U.S.
−Removed: • In order to identify the median employee from its employee population, TVA compared the compensation that would be included in Box 5 (Medicare Wages and Tips) of Form W-2, which includes salary, overtime, and incentive compensation, for the period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
−Removed: Box 5 compensation was used as it is representative of the compensation received by all employees and is readily available and objective.
−Removed: • After identifying its median employee, TVA calculated that employee's compensation for 2024 as though that compensation was being calculated for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, resulting in annual total compensation o f $163,779.
−Removed: TVA believes that the above pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.
−Removed: Because Item 402(u) provides companies with flexibility to select the methodology and assumptions used to identify the median employee and to calculate the pay ratio, the pay ratio reported by TVA may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies.

+Added: Non-Qualified Plans.

+Added: the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and the Restoration Plan ("RP").
+Added: The SERP provides supplemental retirement benefits at compensation levels that are higher than the limits specified by Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations for qualified retirement plans.
+Added: The purpose of the SERP is to provide a competitive retirement benefit level that cannot be delivered solely through TVA's qualified retirement plans due to IRS limitations and to provide a benefit level (as a percentage replacement of pre-retirement pay) that is more comparable to that of employees who are not subject to the IRS limitations.
+Added: The RP is a nonqualified excess 401(k) plan designed to allow certain eligible employees whose contributions to the 401(k) plan are limited by IRS rules to save additional amounts for retirement and receive non-elective and matching employer contributions.
+Added: The plan is designed to provide a competitive level of retirement benefits and assist in the recruitment of executive talent for TVA.

+Added: Assessment of Risk

+Added: As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, TVA is providing the following information regarding the annual total compensation of TVA's CEO position and the annual total compensation of the median employee of the company:
+Added: • The total compensation for the CEO position for 2025 was $5,710,167 .
+Added: • F or 2025 , the median employee's annual total compensation wa s $170,254.
+Added: Based o n this information, the pay ratio of the total compensation for the CEO position to the median employee was approximately 34 to 1.
+Added: To identify the median employee and to determine the annual total compensation of the median employee, TVA took the following steps:
+Added: • TVA selected September 30, 2025 , as the date on which to identify its median employee.
+Added: On September 30, 2025 , TVA's employee population that had earnings in 2025 (including full-time, part-time, and temporary employees) consisted of 10,427 individual s located in the U.S.
+Added: • In order to identify the median employee from its employee population, TVA compared the compensation that would be included in Box 5 (Medicare Wages and Tips) of Form W-2, which includes salary, overtime, and incentive compensation, for the period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 .
+Added: Box 5 compensation was used as it is representative of the compensation received by all employees and is readily available and objective.
+Added: • After identifying its median employee, TVA calculated that employee's compensation for 2025 as though that compensation was being calculated for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, resulting in annual total compensation o f $170,254.
+Added: TVA believes that the above pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.
+Added: Because Item 402(u) provides companies with flexibility to select the methodology and assumptions used to identify the median employee and to calculate the pay ratio, the pay ratio reported by TVA may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies.
