Potts Law Firm Files Lawsuit Against Atmos Energy Corporation, After Natural Gas Leak Triggers Explosion, Severely Injuring West Texas Man The Potts Law Firm has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Eric Bailey, who was catastrophically injured in an April 11, 2025, house explosion in Anson, Texas. The explosion, which leveled a residence at 4002 County Road 195, was caused by a leaking natural gas pipe left behind by Atmos Energy during service termination. Bailey, a technician employed by ThompsonGas, was performing routine propane installation work in the home's basement when the residence suddenly exploded. The blast engulfed him in flames, leaving him with devastating burns, permanent disfigurement, a permanent brain injury, and life-altering injuries that require ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation. According to the lawsuit, Atmos Energy technicians first responded to the property days before the explosion, identifying issues with the meter and shutting off gas service after failed pressure tests. But when the homeowners requested termination of service, Atmos removed the meter and left behind a leaking saddle clamp that released natural gas into the home. The accumulation of gas caused the April 11 blast that nearly killed Bailey. The petition alleges negligence, gross negligence, and other claims, and seeks damages for Bailey's extensive medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, disfigurement, and impairment. His wife, Christie Bailey, has also brought a claim for loss of consortium due to the profound impact her husband's injuries have had on their marriage. The Baileys are demanding accountability from Atmos Energy, which is responsible for safely maintaining and terminating gas service. This lawsuit is titled Bailey v. Atmos Energy Corporation d/b/a Atmos Energy, West Texas Division; Cause No.: 026243, to be heard in the Jones County District Court. Announcement • Jul 04

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.6% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (59% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.6% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Aug 08

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 2.7% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (63% net debt to equity). Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.4% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • May 09
