Arrangements of Certain Officers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;">On November 8, 2018, the Spire Inc. (&#8220;Spire&#8221;) Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted and approved an amendment to the Spire Deferred Income Plan (&#8220;DIP&#8221;), which becomes effective January 1, 2019. The DIP affords eligible directors and officers of Spire (including its named executive officers) and its designated subsidiaries the ability to defer the receipt of a portion of their compensation, which will accrue earnings, with such deferrals forming the basis for benefits upon termination, death, or disability.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:10pt;">The amendment to the DIP updates the current plan, which was last amended effective January 1, 2018, to add a restorative contribution to the DIP to account for any missed 401(k) match on the amounts that participants defer to the DIP. Spire&#8217;s 401(k) plan provides a five percent (5%) match on eligible 401(k) compensation. Amounts that participants defer into the DIP reduce the amount of eligible 401(k) compensation. Accordingly, the total match received by participants of the 401(k) plan may be reduced due to participation in the DIP. The amendment provides for a contribution equal to the amount of the matching contribution that would have been made to a participant&#8217;s 401(k) plan account if the DIP deferrals had not been deferred and were instead includible in compensation for purposes of calculating the 401(k) plan match, subject to the limits established by Code Section 401(a)(17). This contribution will apply for deferrals made on and after January 1, 2019.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;font-size:10pt;"><font

amendment to the DIP, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, and incorporated herein by reference.</font></div><div

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 8, 2018, the Spire Inc. ("Spire") Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted and approved an amendment to the Spire Deferred Income Plan ("DIP"), which becomes effective January 1, 2019. The DIP affords eligible directors and officers of Spire (including its named executive officers) and its designated subsidiaries the ability to defer the receipt of a portion of their compensation, which will accrue earnings, with such deferrals forming the basis for benefits upon termination, death, or disability.
The amendment to the DIP updates the current plan, which was last amended effective January 1, 2018, to add a restorative contribution to the DIP to account for any missed 401(k) match on the amounts that participants defer to the DIP. Spire's 401(k) plan provides a five percent (5%) match on eligible 401(k) compensation. Amounts that participants defer into the DIP reduce the amount of eligible 401(k) compensation. Accordingly, the total match received by participants of the 401(k) plan may be reduced due to participation in the DIP. The amendment provides for a contribution equal to the amount of the matching contribution that would have been made to a participant's 401(k) plan account if the DIP deferrals had not been deferred and were instead includible in compensation for purposes of calculating the 401(k) plan match, subject to the limits established by Code Section 401(a)(17). This contribution will apply for deferrals made on and after January 1, 2019.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the DIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions, including defined terms, of the amendment to the DIP, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, and incorporated herein by reference.
