Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, numerous complaints were filed against PacifiCorp following a series of wildfires in Oregon and Northern California in September 2020 (the "2020 Wildfires") and in California in July 2022 (the “2022 McKinney Fire”), collectively referred to as the “Wildfires.” These complaints include demands from federal agencies for suppression costs, natural resource damages and other costs associated with the Wildfires.

On February 20, 2026, the United States Attorney for the District of Oregon and the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California approved a settlement agreement for $575 million between PacifiCorp and the United States of America, acting through federal district attorney’s offices on behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Department of the Interior, resolving all known federal government complaints and demands associated with the Wildfires, including those associated with the 242, Archie Creek, Echo Mountain Complex, McKinney, Slater and South Obenchain fires. In accordance with the settlement agreement, PacifiCorp will remit the $575 million within 10 calendar days of the February 20, 2026, effective date.

Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp in Part I, Item 1 and to Item 1. Legal Proceedings in Part II of PacifiCorp's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, for further discussion of the Wildfires and associated legal proceedings.

The approved settlement agreement (“Long-Form Settlement Agreement”) is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
