style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;">On April 3, 2017, Spire Inc. (&#8220;Spire&#8221;) settled the purchase contracts underlying its 2,875,000 equity units, by issuing up to 2,504,700 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $57.3921 per share. Fractional shares will be settled in cash at $67.50 per share. The purchase price was funded with the proceeds of the remarketing of the $143,750,000 aggregate principal amount of 2014 Series A 2.00% remarketable junior subordinated notes due 2022, comprising a component of the equity units, which was completed on February 27, 2017. The equity units were originally issued at $50 per unit pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement dated as of June 11, 2014 between Spire and U.S. Bank National Association, as purchase contract agent, collateral agent, custodial agent and securities intermediary. Under the contract terms, the equity units were converted to common stock at the rate of 0.8712, with a corresponding adjustment to purchase price. Spire received net cash proceeds of approximately $142.0 million, which it intends to use to repay short-term debt.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">SIGNATURES</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;">Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.</font></div><div style="line-height:100%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="4"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:41%;"></td><td style="width:12%;"></td><td style="width:5%;"></td><td style="width:42%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td colspan="2" style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="padding-bottom:1px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Spire Inc.</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:13px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:13px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:13px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:13px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;">Date:  April 3, 2017</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="padding-bottom:1px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;">By:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="padding-bottom:1px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;">/s/ Steven P.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 3, 2017, Spire Inc. ("Spire") settled the purchase contracts underlying its 2,875,000 equity units, by issuing up to 2,504,700 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $57.3921 per share. Fractional shares will be settled in cash at $67.50 per share. The purchase price was funded with the proceeds of the remarketing of the $143,750,000 aggregate principal amount of 2014 Series A 2.00% remarketable junior subordinated notes due 2022, comprising a component of the equity units, which was completed on February 27, 2017. The equity units were originally issued at $50 per unit pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement dated as of June 11, 2014 between Spire and U.S. Bank National Association, as purchase contract agent, collateral agent, custodial agent and securities intermediary. Under the contract terms, the equity units were converted to common stock at the rate of 0.8712, with a corresponding adjustment to purchase price. Spire received net cash proceeds of approximately $142.0 million, which it intends to use to repay short-term debt.
