    Item 1.01     Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
    On May 1, 2025, NorthWestern Energy Public Service Corporation ("NWE Public Service"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc., d/b/a NorthWestern Energy (Nasdaq: NWE) (“NWE Group”), issued and sold $100 million principal amount of NWE Public Service's South Dakota First Mortgage Bonds (the "SD Bonds"). The SD Bonds were issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, have not been registered under the Securities Act, and will not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
    The SD Bonds were drawn and issued in one series as follows:
    Issue DateMaturity DatePrincipal AmountInterest Rate
    May 1, 2025May 1, 2035$100 million5.49%
    The terms of the SD Bonds were established in the Twenty-second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2025 (the "SD Supplemental Indenture"), between NWE Public Service and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The SD Bonds are governed by the terms of the General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust dated as of August 1, 1993, as amended and supplemented, between NWE Public Service and the trustee, and the SD Supplemental Indenture (collectively, the “SD Indenture”). The SD Bonds will rank equally in right of payment with all current and future debt that is secured by the first mortgage lien of the SD Indenture.
        NWE Public Service may redeem some or all of the SD Bonds at any time at its option prior to maturity at a make-whole price as described in the SD Supplemental Indenture.
        The SD Indenture provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the SD Bonds, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable. In addition, under certain circumstances, and to the extent permitted by law, the trustee may be granted certain powers to take possession of, hold, operate and manage, and sell, the mortgaged property.
    The description set forth above concerning the SD Bonds is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SD Supplemental Indenture which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
    Item 2.03     Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
