Equity compensation analyst

Routine stock grant to AVISTA director as part of annual compensation.

Director Rebecca A. Klein received 3,538 shares of AVISTA CORP Common Stock as a grant tied to director compensation and the annual retainer. The grant price of $40.98 per share reflects the closing market price on May 7, 2026.

This Form 4 shows a non-derivative, compensation-related acquisition rather than an open-market buy, so it carries limited signaling value about the director’s view of the stock.
