Approximate number of holders of record as of the certification or notice date: None
Effective December 27, 2017, the Laclede Gas Company Wage Deferral Savings Plan, Laclede Gas Company – Missouri Gas Energy Wage Deferral Savings Plan, Alagasco Employee Savings Plan and Missouri Natural Gas Division of Laclede Gas Company Wage Deferral Savings Plan (collectively, the “Benefit Plans”) were merged, directly or indirectly, into the Spire Employee Savings Plan (formerly known as the Laclede Gas Company Salary Deferral Savings Plan). As a result, the interests in the Benefit Plans, which previously constituted securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no longer exist. Therefore this Form 15 has been filed by the Benefit Plans to suspend their duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Although the duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act has been terminated with respect to the Benefit Plans, the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) remains with respect to Spire Inc. common stock, $1.00 par value per share.
 





Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each of the Benefit Plans has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
