GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare this report in conformity with the Uniform System of Accounts (18 CFR Part 101) (USofA). Interpret all accounting words and phrases in accordance with the USofA.
Enter in whole numbers (dollars or MWH) only, except where otherwise noted. (Enter cents for averages and figures per unit where cents are important. The truncating of cents is allowed except on the four basic financial statements where rounding is required.) The amounts shown on all supporting pages must agree with the amounts entered on the statements that they support. When applying thresholds to determine significance for reporting purposes, use for balance sheet accounts the balances at the end of the current reporting period, and use for statement of income accounts the current year's year to date amounts.
Complete each question fully and accurately, even if it has been answered in a previous report. Enter the word "None" where it truly and completely states the fact.
For any page(s) that is not applicable to the respondent, omit the page(s) and enter "NA," "NONE," or "Not Applicable" in column (d) on the List of Schedules, pages 2 and 3.
Enter the month, day, and year for all dates. Use customary abbreviations. The "Date of Report" included in the header of each page is to be completed only for resubmissions (see VII. below).
Generally, except for certain schedules, all numbers, whether they are expected to be debits or credits, must be reported as positive. Numbers having a sign that is different from the expected sign must be reported by enclosing the numbers in parentheses.
For any resubmissions, please explain the reason for the resubmission in a footnote to the data field.
Do not make references to reports of previous periods/years or to other reports in lieu of required entries, except as specifically authorized.
Wherever (schedule) pages refer to figures from a previous period/year, the figures reported must be based upon those shown by the report of the previous period/year, or an appropriate explanation given as to why the different figures were used.
Schedule specific instructions are found in the applicable taxonomy and on the applicable blank rendered form.

Direct control is that which is exercised without interposition of an intermediary. Indirect control is that which is exercised by the interposition of an intermediary which exercises direct control. Joint control is that in which neither interest can effectively control or direct action without the consent of the other, as where the voting control is equally divided between two holders, or each party holds a veto power over the other. Joint control may exist by mutual agreement or understanding between two or more parties who together have control within the meaning of the definition of control in the Uniform System of Accounts, regardless of the relative voting rights of each party.

See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating these amounts. The number of shares realized and the value of the performance shares, if any, will depend on the Company’s performance during a 3-year performance period. The potential payout can range from 0 percent to 200 percent of the target number of performance shares, plus any dividend equivalents. The value of the performance shares will be based on three measures: a Board approved cumulative operating earnings per share measure (Cumulative EPS 50%), a total shareholder return relative to peer companies (Relative TSR 40%) and a carbon free capacity mix (Carbon Free Capacity 10%). The grant date fair value of the 2022 performance shares that are based on Cumulative EPS was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and was measured based on the closing price of AEP’s common stock on the grant date. The maximum amount payable for the 2022 performance shares that are based on Cumulative EPS measured on the grant date was $7,500,054 for Mr. Akins; $1,350,018 for Ms. Sloat; $109,965 for Ms. Kelly, $1,125,029 for Mr. Feinberg; $974,951 for Mr. Zebula; $974,951 for Mr. Chodak and $1,799,996 for Ms. Barton. The maximum amount payable for the 2022 performance shares that are based on

Carbon Free Capacity is equal to $1,500,011 for Mr. Akins; $270,004 for Ms. Sloat; $21,993 for Ms. Kelly; $225,006 for Mr. Feinberg; $194,990 for Mr. Zebula, $194,990 for Mr. Chodak and $359,999 for Ms. Barton. The grant date fair value of the 2022 performance shares that are based on Relative TSR is calculated using a Monte-Carlo model as of the date of grant, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Because the performance shares that are based on Relative TSR are subject to market conditions as defined under FASB ASC Topic 718, they did not have a maximum value on the grant date that differed from the grant date fair values presented in the table. Instead, the maximum value is factored into the calculation of the grant date fair value. The values realized from the 2020 performance shares are included in the Option Exercises and Stock Vested for 2022 table.

(3) The amounts shown in this column reflect annual incentive compensation paid for the year shown.

(4) The amounts shown in this column are attributable to the increase in the actuarial values of each of the named executive officer’s combined benefits under AEP’s qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans determined using interest rate and mortality assumptions consistent with those used in the Company’s financial statements. Negative values of ($41,465), ($131,041) ($245,983) and ($27,352) for Ms. Sloat and Messrs. Feinberg, Zebula and Chodak, respectfully, were replaced with $0 for the purposes of the Summary Compensation Table. See the Pension Benefits for 2022 table and related footnotes for additional information. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of the relevant assumptions. None of the named executive officers received preferential or above-market earnings on deferred compensation.

(5) Amounts shown in the All Other Compensation column for 2022 include: (a) Company matching contributions to the Company’s Retirement Savings Plan, (b) Company matching contributions to the Company’s Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan, (c) perquisites, (d) vacation payout, and (e) severance benefits. The 2022 values for these items are listed in the following table:


Type	Nicholas K. Akins		Julia A. Sloat		Ann P. Kelly		David M. Feinberg		Charles E. Zebula		Paul Chodak, III		Lisa M. Barton
Retirement Savings Plan Match	13,725		13,725		1,212		13,725		13,725		13,725		13,725
Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan Match	182,475		49,829				49,438		41,746		35,516		57,890
Relocation					8,762
Perquisites	20,555		14,256						12,385		14,125		14,125
Vacation Payout	—		—		—		—		—				68,763
Severance	—		—		—		—		—
Total	$	216,755	$	77,810	$	9,974	$	63,163	$	67,856	$	63,366	$	154,503

(6) Ms. Sloat's compensation is provided only for the years in which she was an executive officer of the Company.

Perquisites provided in 2022 included: financial counseling and tax preparation services and, for Mr. Akins, director’s group travel accident insurance premium. Executive officers may also have the occasional personal use of event tickets when such tickets are not being used for business purposes, however, there is no associated incremental cost. From time-to-time executive officers may receive customary gifts from third parties that sponsor events (subject to our policies on conflicts of interest).

Provided Ms. Barton complies with the terms of her Executive Severance, Noncompetition and Release of All Claims Agreement, she will receive $1,520,700 in cash severance benefits and up to $15,650 in outplacement services in 2023 in connection with her 2022 separation from AEP employment.

Mr. Akins has entered into an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement that allows him to use our corporate aircraft for personal use for a limited number of hours each year. The Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement requires Mr. Akins to reimburse the Company for the cost of his personal use of corporate aircraft in accordance with limits set forth in Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Mr. Akins reimbursed the Company all incremental costs incurred in connection with personal flights under the Aircraft Timesharing Agreement including fuel, oil, hangar costs, crew travel expenses, catering, landing fees and other incremental airport fees. Accordingly, no value is shown for these amounts in the Summary Compensation Table. If the aircraft flies empty before picking up or after dropping off Mr. Akins at a destination on a personal flight, the cost of the empty flight is included in the incremental cost for which Mr. Akins reimburses the Company. Since AEP aircraft are used predominantly for business purposes, we do not include fixed costs that do not change in amount based on usage, such as depreciation and pilot salaries.

Due to her promotion to CEO, in February 2023 the Company entered into a TSA with Ms. Sloat on substantively the same terms as Mr. Akins' TSA.
