  1. F1. Acquired through dividend reinvestment plan, exempt under Rule 16a-11.
  2. F2. In connection with the vesting on September 16, 2026 of performance shares previously granted to the reporting person, the reporting person's receipt of 478 shares of common stock was deferred, resulting in the reporting person's receipt instead of 478 deferred stock units pursuant to National Fuel Gas Company's deferred compensation plan. The reporting person is therefore reporting the disposition of 478 shares of common stock in exchange for an equal number of deferred stock units.
  3. F3. The NFG stock fund under the NFG 401(k) plan is denominated in units, representing ownership interests in a fund that includes both NFG common stock and a reserve of cash. The information reported represents the dollar value of the reporting person's balance in the NFG stock fund as of September 16, 2026, as reported by the plan administrator, divided by the closing price of NFG common stock on that date.
  4. F4. Acquired through dividend reinvestment feature of the National Fuel Gas Company Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers, exempt under Rule 16a-11.
  5. F5. Each deferred stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock.
  6. F6. The deferred stock units become payable, in shares of common stock, after the reporting person's termination of service, pursuant to the reporting person's distribution election under National Fuel Gas Company's Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers.

Deferred Stock Units financial
"resulting in the reporting person's receipt instead of 478 deferred stock units"
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
dividend reinvestment plan financial
"Acquired through dividend reinvestment plan, exempt under Rule 16a-11."
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers financial
"Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers, exempt under Rule 16a-11."
Rule 16a-11 regulatory
"exempt under Rule 16a-11."
economic equivalent financial
"Each deferred stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock."
distribution election financial
"payable, in shares of common stock, after the reporting person's termination of service, pursuant to the reporting person's distribution election"
