Alliant Energy Corporation (the “Company”) has advised participants in the Alliant Energy Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) that there will be a blackout period beginning on August 30, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) and ending during the calendar week beginning September 22, 2024, during which Plan participants will be unable to change contribution rates or enroll in the Plan, change how current or future contributions will be invested, request exchanges (transfers) between investment options, or request or obtain loans or distributions from the Plan. The blackout period is necessary for administrative reasons to implement a change in service provider for the Plan.
The Company received notice from the administrator of the Plan of the impending blackout period (as required by Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) on July 22, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company sent a notice to its directors and executive officers informing them that a blackout period will be in effect beginning on August 30, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) and ending during the calendar week beginning September 22, 2024 and restricting them from purchasing, acquiring, selling or otherwise transferring common stock of the Company. A copy of the notice provided to the Company’s directors and executive officers is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
