Xcel Energy Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation place restrictions on the amount of common stock dividends it can pay when preferred
stock is outstanding. As there was no preferred stock outstanding at any time during the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, the restrictions did
not place any effective limit on Xcel Energy Inc.’s ability to pay dividends. See Item 7 and Note 4 to the consolidated financial
statements for further discussion of Xcel Energy Inc.’s dividend policy.
The following compares our cumulative TSR on common stock with the cumulative total return of the EEI Investor-Owned Electrics
Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index over the last five fiscal years (assuming a $100 investment on Dec.
31, 2008, and the reinvestment of all dividends).
The EEI Investor-Owned Electrics Index currently includes 49 companies and is a broad measure of industry performance.
