DTE Energy amends executive severance plan and signs new change-in-control agreements

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

DTE Energy amended its Executive Severance Allowance Plan on September 10, 2025, and on September 11, 2025 entered new change-in-control severance and indemnification agreements with its executive officers and non-employee directors. The filing describes enhanced CEO severance terms and agreements that replace earlier versions, but it does not state any dollar cost to the company.

Key points

  • Amendment 1 to the Executive Severance Allowance Plan was adopted September 10, 2025; the CEO may receive 24 months of COBRA premiums and a lump sum of 200% of Base Pay if terminated without Cause.
  • On September 11, 2025, the company entered change-in-control severance agreements with 11 named executive officers, replacing prior agreements.
  • The CIC agreements provide severance if an executive is terminated, actually or constructively, within two years after a change in control, and include a one-year non-compete payment.
  • Indemnification agreements with executives and non-employee directors also took effect September 11, 2025, replacing prior versions.
