Xcel Energy Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation place restrictions on the amount of common stock dividends it can pay when
preferred stock is outstanding. On Oct. 31, 2011, Xcel Energy Inc. redeemed all series of its preferred stock. 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 in each vehicle on Dec. 31, 2007, and the reinvestment of all dividends).
The EEI Investor-Owned Electrics Index currently includes 51 companies and is a broad measure of industry performance.
