In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country imposed varying degrees of restrictions on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. These restrictions significantly impacted economic conditions in the United States in 2020 and continued into 2021. Chesapeake Utilities is considered an “essential business,” which has allowed us to continue operational activities and construction projects while adhering to the social distancing restrictions that were in place. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Throughout 2021, restrictions continued to be lifted as vaccines have become widely available in the United States. For example, the state of emergency in Maryland was terminated in July 2021, resulting in reduced restrictions. The expiration of the states of emergency in our service territories, has concluded our ability to defer incremental pandemic related costs for consideration through the applicable regulatory process. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">We have been closely following the legal process related to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") Emergency Temporary Standard ("ETS") mandating that all employers, with 100 or more employees, require COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly testing, which made its way to the United States Supreme Court. While OSHA has withdrawn the ETS as a temporary standard following the Supreme Court’s ruling, we will continue to monitor its status as a proposed rule, and any developments in the various appeals of the various district court orders enjoining the enforcement of the Executive Order regarding the federal contractor vaccine mandate. In light of the continued emergence and growing prevalence of the new variants of COVID-19, such as the Omicron variant, we continue to operate under our pandemic response plan, monitor developments affecting employees, customers, suppliers, and stockholders and take all precautions warranted to operate safely and to comply with the Center For Disease Control ("CDC") and OSHA standards, in order to protect our employees, customers and the communities we serve. </span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%;padding-left:9.75pt">Summary of Significant Accounting Policies</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%;text-decoration:underline">Use of Estimates</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Our financial statements are prepared based on the accounting requirements of the FERC which require management to make estimates in measuring assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses.

Costs include direct labor, materials and third-party construction contractor costs, allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”) and certain indirect costs related to equipment and employees engaged in construction. The costs of repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses as incurred, and the costs of major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposition of utility plant, the gain or loss, net of salvage value, is charged to accumulated depreciation. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Customer contributions or advances in aid of construction reduce utility plant unless the amounts are refundable to customers. Contributions or advances may be refundable to customers after a number of years based on the amount of revenues generated from the customers or the duration of the service provided to the customers. Refundable contributions or advances are recorded initially as liabilities. The amounts that are determined to be non-refundable reduce utility plant at the time of such determination. There were no non-refundable contributions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">AFUDC represents the estimated cost of funds, from both debt and equity sources, used to finance the construction of major projects. AFUDC is capitalized in rate base for ratemaking purposes when the completed projects are placed in service. The costs of debt and equity funds are segregated between interest expense and other income, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of AFUDC, all of which was reflected as a reduction of interest charges. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Included in utility plant at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.5 million and $0.2 million in assets held for future use related to various permits and easement, which can be used for future expansions of our transmission system.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%;text-decoration:underline">Depreciation</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">We compute depreciation expense by applying composite, annual rates, as approved by the FERC.

For each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $1.2 million and $1.1 million, of such accretion was included in depreciation expense. We also report certain depreciation expense, mainly related to vehicle, computer software and hardware, in operations expense rather than as a depreciation expense to comply with the accounting requirements of the FERC. For each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $0.2 million of such depreciation was reported as operations expense.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%;text-decoration:underline">Regulated Operations</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">We account for our operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 980, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">“Regulated Operations.”</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%"> This Topic includes accounting principles for companies whose rates are determined by independent third-party regulators. When setting rates, regulators often make decisions, the economics of which require companies to defer costs or revenues in different periods than may be appropriate for unregulated enterprises. When this situation occurs, a regulated company defers the associated costs as regulatory assets on the balance sheet and records them as expense on the statement of income as it collects revenues. Further, regulators can also impose liabilities upon a regulated company, for amounts previously collected from customers and for recovery of costs that are expected to be incurred in the future, as regulatory liabilities. If we were required to terminate the application of these regulatory provisions to our operations, all such deferred amounts would be recognized in the statement of income at that time, which could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">We monitor our regulatory and competitive environments to determine whether the recovery of our regulatory assets continues to be probable.

This provision allows a taxpayer to recover taxes previously paid at a 35 percent federal income tax rate during tax years prior to 2018. In addition, the CARES Act removed the taxable income limitation to allow a tax NOL to fully offset taxable income for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021. Chesapeake Utilities’ income tax expense included a tax benefit of $0.9 and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, attributable to the tax NOL carryback provided under the CARES Act for losses generated in 2018 and 2019 and then applied back to our 2013 and 2015 tax years in which we paid federal income taxes at a 35 percent tax rate.</span></div><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). Substantially all of the provisions of the TCJA were effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The provisions that significantly impacted Chesapeake Utilities include the reduction of the corporate federal income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. Chesapeake Utilities federal income tax expense for periods beginning on January 1, 2018 are based on the new federal corporate income tax rate. The TCJA included changes to the Internal Revenue Code, which materially impacted Chesapeake Utilities’ 2017 financial statements. ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes", ("ASC 740") requires recognition of the effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the law is enacted. ASC 740 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are to be realized or settled. During 2018, Chesapeake Utilities completed the assessment of the impact of accounting for certain effects of the TCJA. In 2019, Chesapeake Utilities allocated the tax basis cost of certain liabilities recognized at its corporate entity to its business units. We were allocated $0.2 million which represented the expected future tax deductible amounts associated with deferred compensation plans and its regulatory treatment will be addressed in our next rate case.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New

who have completed three months of service. Chesapeake Utilities matches 100 percent of eligible participants’ pre-tax contributions to the Chesapeake Utilities Retirement Savings Plan up to a maximum of six percent of the eligible compensation. The employer matching contribution is made in cash and is invested based on a participant’s investment directions. In addition, Chesapeake Utilities may make a discretionary supplemental contribution to participants in the plan, without regard to whether or not they make pre-tax contributions. Any supplemental employer contribution is generally made in Chesapeake Utilities common stock. With respect to the employer match and supplemental employer contribution, employees are 100 percent vested after two years of service or upon reaching 55 years of age while still employed by Chesapeake Utilities. New employees, who do not make an election to contribute or do not opt out of the Chesapeake Utilities Retirement Savings Plan, will be automatically enrolled at a deferral rate of three percent, and the automatic deferral rate will increase by one percent per year up to a maximum of ten percent.

Officers may receive a matching contribution on their cash compensation deferrals up to six percent of their compensation, provided it does not duplicate a match they receive in the Retirement Savings Plan. Stock bonuses are not eligible for matching contributions. Participants are able to elect the payment of deferred compensation to begin on a specified future date or upon separation from service. Additionally, participants can elect to receive payments upon the earlier or later of a fixed date or separation from service. The payments can be made in one lump sum or annual installments for up to 15 years. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">All obligations arising under the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan are payable from Chesapeake Utilities’ general assets, although Chesapeake Utilities has established a Rabbi Trust to informally fund the plan. Deferrals of cash compensation may be invested by the participants in various mutual funds (the same options that are available in the Retirement Savings Plan). The participants are credited with gains or losses on those investments. Deferred stock compensation may not be diversified. The participants are credited with dividends on Chesapeake Utilities’ common stock in the same amount that is received by all other stockholders. Such dividends are reinvested into Chesapeake Utilities’ common stock. Assets held in the Rabbi Trust, recorded as Investments on the consolidated balance sheet, had a fair value of $12.1 million and $10.8 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The assets of the Rabbi Trust are at all times subject to the claims of Chesapeake Utilities’ general creditors. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Deferrals of officer base compensation and cash bonuses and directors’ cash retainers are paid in cash. All deferrals of executive performance shares, which represent deferred stock units, and directors’ stock retainers are paid in shares of our common stock, except that cash is paid in lieu of fractional shares. The value of Chesapeake Utilities’ stock held in the Rabbi Trust is classified within the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and has been accounted for in a manner similar to treasury stock. The amounts recorded under the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan totaled $7.2 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are also shown as a deduction against stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet. </span></div><div style="padding-left:27pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:139%;padding-left:18.75pt">Rates and Other Regulatory Activities </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Del-Mar Energy Pathway Project:</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%"> In December 2019, the FERC issued an order approving the construction of the Del-Mar Energy Pathway project. The order approved the construction and operation of new facilities that provides an additional 14,300 Dts/d of firm service to four customers. This includes six miles of pipeline looping in Delaware; 13 miles of new mainline extension in Sussex County, Delaware and Wicomico and Somerset Counties in Maryland; and new pressure control and delivery stations in these counties. The benefits of this project include: (i) additional natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure in eastern Sussex County, Delaware, and (ii) extension of Eastern Shore’s pipeline system, for the first time, into Somerset County, Maryland. The project is now fully in service as the construction of the Somerset County, Maryland expansion was completed in the third quarter of 2021.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Capital Cost Surcharge:</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%"> In June 2021, Eastern Shore submitted a filing with the FERC regarding a capital cost surcharge to recover capital costs associated with two mandated highway relocate projects that required the replacement of existing Eastern Shore facilities. The capital cost surcharge is an approved item in the settlement of Eastern Shore’s last rate case. In conjunction with the filing of this surcharge, pursuant to the settlement agreement, a cumulative adjustment to the existing surcharge to reflect additional depreciation was included in this filing. The FERC issued an order approving the surcharge as filed on July 7, 2021. The combined revised surcharge became effective July 15, 2021. In 2021, there was $0.7 million of additional adjusted gross margin pursuant to the program. Eastern Shore expects to produce adjusted gross margin of approximately $2.0 million in 2022 and 2023 from relocation projects, which is ultimately dependent upon the timing of filings and the completion of construction.    </span></div><div style="padding-left:22.5pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-22.5pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:100%;padding-left:14.25pt">Other Commitments and Contingencies</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">From time to time, we may be involved in legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business.

Accordingly, we record assets and liabilities that result from the regulated ratemaking process that may not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities. We continually assess whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders to other regulated entities. Based on this assessment, we believe our existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are mostly classified on the Comparative Balance Sheet as Deferred Debits and Deferred Credits.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:118%">Revenue Recognition.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%"> Revenues from the transportation of natural gas are recognized when the service is provided. Revenues related to these services provided but not yet billed are estimated each month. These estimates are generally based on contract data, regulatory information, and preliminary throughput and allocation measurements. Final bills for the current month are billed and collected in the following month. Differences between actual and estimated revenues are immaterial. We also have certain customer contracts with billed amounts that decline annually over the terms of the contract. Differences between the amounts billed and recognized are deferred on the Comparative Balance Sheet.

Income taxes are continuing to be recorded in this manner in light of the purchase by Spectra Energy Corp, a corporate subsidiary of Enbridge, in December 2018, of all of the outstanding publicly-traded units of Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP), our immediate partner. AGT is now wholly owned by two U.S. corporations that are subject to U.S. income tax. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or results from the final review of tax returns by federal or state tax authorities.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">On March 15, 2018, in Docket No. PL17-1-000, the FERC changed its long-standing policy on the treatment of income tax included in the rates of pipelines and other entities subject to cost of service rate regulation within a Master Limited Partnership (MLP).

Indirect costs include general engineering, taxes, and the cost of funds used during construction. The costs of renewals and betterments that extend the useful life or increase the expected output of utility plant are also capitalized. The costs of repairs, replacements and major maintenance projects, that do not extend the useful life or increase the expected output of utility plant, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is generally computed over the asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The composite weighted-average depreciation rates were 2.52% for 2021 and 2.30% for 2020.

For such long-lived assets, an impairment exists when its carrying value exceeds the sum of estimates of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. When alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration, a probability-weighted approach is used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable based on these estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, such that the asset’s carrying value is adjusted to its estimated fair value.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:118%">We assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one source.

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made and is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset.

While the changes are broad and complex, the most significant change is the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or results from the final review of tax returns by federal or state tax authorities. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the maximum corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning January 1, 2018, which resulted in a regulatory liability of approximately $110.5 million being established for the portion of the reduction related to utility plant (Account 282), which also includes a gross-up calculation of $30.9 million that was offset to a regulatory asset (Account 182). The regulatory liability began amortizing to utility income effective January 1, 2018, over the life of the utility plant, which was estimated to be 29 years. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the regulatory liability balance associated with the tax rate reduction was $95.1 million and $99.0 million.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">The amounts of excess deferred federal income tax that are considered protected as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, were $95.1 million and $99.0 million.

contracts with customers by providing transportation and storage services for natural gas on a firm and interruptible basis. Texas Gas also provides interruptible natural gas PAL services. Texas Gas’ customers choose, based upon their particular needs, the applicable mix of services depending upon availability of pipeline and storage capacity, the price of services and the volume and timing of customer requirements. The maximum rates that may be charged by Texas Gas are established through the FERC's cost-based rate-making process; however, rates actually charged by Texas Gas may be less than those allowed by the FERC. Under the FERC regulations, certain revenues that Texas Gas collects may be subject to possible refunds to its customers. Accordingly, during a rate case, estimated refund liabilities are recorded considering regulatory proceedings, advice of counsel and estimated risk-adjusted total exposure, as well as other factors. Texas Gas’ service contracts can range from one to twenty years although Texas Gas may enter into shorter- or longer-term contracts, and services are invoiced monthly with payment from the customer generally expected within ten to thirty days, depending on the terms of the contract.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Firm Service Contracts</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">: Texas Gas offers firm services to its customers. Texas Gas’ customers can reserve a specific amount of pipeline capacity at specified receipt and delivery points on Texas Gas’ pipeline system (transportation service) or can reserve a specific amount of storage capacity at specified injection and withdrawal points at Texas Gas’ storage facilities (storage service). Texas Gas accounts for firm services as a single promise to stand ready each month of the contract term to provide the committed capacity for either transportation or storage services when needed by the customer, which represents a series of distinct monthly services that are substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Although several activities may be required to provide the firm service, the individual activities do not represent distinct performance obligations because all of the activities must be performed in combination in order for Texas Gas to provide the firm service.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">The transaction price for firm service contracts is comprised of a fixed fee based on the quantity of capacity reserved, regardless of use (capacity reservation fee), plus variable fees in the form of a usage fee paid on the volume of commodity actually transported or injected and withdrawn from storage. Both the fixed and usage fees are allocated to the single performance obligation of providing transportation or storage service and recognized over time based upon the output measure of time as Texas Gas completes its stand-ready obligation to provide contracted capacity and the customer receives and consumes the benefit of the reserved capacity, which corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. The fixed fee is recognized ratably over the contract term, representative of the proportion of the committed stand-ready capacity obligation that has been fulfilled to date, and the usage fee is recognized upon satisfaction of each distinct monthly performance obligation, consistent with the allocation objective and based upon the level of effort required to satisfy the stand-ready obligation in a given month. Capacity reservation revenues derived from a firm service contract are generally consistent during the contract term, but can be higher in winter periods than the rest of the year based upon seasonal rates.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Interruptible Service Contracts</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">: In providing interruptible services to its customers, Texas Gas agrees to transport or store natural gas for a customer when capacity is available. Texas Gas does not account for interruptible services with a customer as a contract until the customer nominates for service and Texas Gas accepts the nomination based upon available pipeline or storage capacity because there are no enforceable rights and obligations until that time. The nomination and acceptance process is a daily activity and acceptance is granted based upon priority of service and availability of capacity. Upon acceptance, Texas Gas accounts for interruptible services similarly to its firm services.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">The transaction price for interruptible service contracts is comprised of a variable fee in the form of a usage fee paid on the volume of commodity actually transported or injected and withdrawn from storage.

The bankruptcy courts approved the rejection of the transportation agreements, which relieved Texas Gas from providing further transportation services to that customer and allowed Texas Gas to remarket that capacity to other customers. Texas Gas first applied the proceeds from the letters of credit to any outstanding receivables related to the applicable customer and then recognized as transportation revenues the remaining $34.4 million of proceeds in December 2020, which represents a portion of the future performance obligations that were eliminated under the transportation agreements.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">Environmental and Safety Matters</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Texas Gas is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations in connection with the operation and remediation of various operating sites.

Under the CAA, Texas Gas may be required to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. The need to obtain permits has the potential to delay the development or expansion of Texas Gas’ projects. Over the next several years, Texas Gas may be required to incur certain capital expenditures for air pollution control equipment or other air emissions related issues. For example, in 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule under the CAA, lowering the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone to 70 parts per billion under both the primary and secondary standards to provide requisite protection of public health and welfare, respectively. Since that time, the EPA issued area designations with respect to ground-level ozone, issued final requirements that apply to state, local and tribal air agencies for implementing the 2015 NAAQS for ground-level ozone and, on December 31, 2020, published notice of a final action to retain the 2015 ozone NAAQS without revision on a going-forward basis. However, several groups have filed litigation over this December 2020 final action, and the NAAQS may be subject to further revision under the Biden </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Administration. States are expected to implement more stringent regulations that could apply to Texas Gas’ operations. Compliance with this final rule could, among other things, require installation of new emission controls on some of Texas Gas’ equipment, result in longer permitting timelines and significantly increase its capital expenditures and operating costs. Additionally, the threat of climate change continues to attract considerable public, governmental and scientific attention. As a result, numerous proposals have been made and are likely to continue to be made at the international, national, regional, state and local levels of government to monitor and limit emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). These efforts have included consideration of cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes and GHG reporting and tracking programs, and regulations that directly limit GHG emissions from certain sources. The EPA has determined that GHG emissions endanger public health and the environment and, as a result, has adopted regulations under the CAA related to GHG emissions. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">Commitments for Construction</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Texas Gas’ future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for materials ordered but not received and firm commitments under binding construction service agreements.

Collectively, Texas Gas refers to the Pension Plan and the SRP as Retirement Plans.

Texas Gas is permitted to seek future rate recovery for amounts of annual Pension Plan costs in excess of $6.0 million and is precluded from seeking future recovery of annual Pension Plan costs between $3.0 million and $6.0 million. As a result, Texas Gas would recognize a regulatory asset for amounts of annual Pension Plan costs in excess of $6.0 million and would reduce its regulatory asset to the extent that annual Pension Plan costs are less than $3.0 million.

In particular, the basis for the discount rate selection was the yield on indices of highly rated fixed income debt securities with durations comparable to that of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners' plan liabilities. The yield curve was applied to expected future retirement plan payments to adjust the discount rate to reflect the cash flow characteristics of the plans.

Use of the Master Trust permits the co-investing of trust assets of the Pension Plan with the assets of the Loews Corporation Cash Balance Retirement Plan for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets of all plans are co-invested in the Master Trust, the custodian maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the net gain or loss of the investment account to the participating plans. The net investment income of the investment assets is allocated by the custodian to each participating plan based on the relationship of the interest of each plan to the total of the interests of the participating plans. The Master Trust assets are measured at fair value. The fair value of the interest in the assets of the Master Trust associated with the Pension Plan as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $103.5 million (or 43.2%) and $102.7 million (or 43.9%), of the total Master Trust assets.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">Equity securities are publicly traded securities which are valued using quoted market prices and are considered a Level 1 investment under the fair value hierarchy. Short-term and other asset investments that are actively traded or have quoted prices, such as money market funds or treasury bills, are considered Level 1 investments. Fixed income mutual funds include highly liquid government securities and exchange traded bonds, valued using quoted market prices, and are considered a Level 1 investment. The limited partnership investments held within the Master Trust are recorded at fair value, which represents the Master Trust’s shares of the net asset value of each partnership, as determined by the general partner. The limited partnership and other invested assets consist primarily of hedge fund strategies that generate returns through investing in marketable securities in the public fixed income and equity

trust and are measured at fair value. Short-term investments that are actively traded or have quoted prices, such as money market or mutual funds, are considered Level 1 investments. Fixed income mutual funds are actively traded and valued using quoted market prices and are considered Level 1 investments. Tax exempt securities, consisting of municipal securities, corporate and other taxable bonds and asset-backed securities are valued using a methodology based on information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, a discounted cash flow methodology or a combination of both when necessary. Common inputs for tax exempt securities include pricing for similar securities, marketplace quotes, benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, interest rates and United States Treasury or swap curves and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs and are considered Level 2 investments. Specifically for asset-backed securities, key inputs include prepayment and default projections based on past performance of the underlying collateral and current market data.</span></div><div

total-return approach using a mix of equities and fixed income securities to maximize the long-term return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk and generate cash flows adequate to meet plan requirements. The intent of this strategy is to minimize plan expenses by generating investment returns that exceed the growth of the plan liabilities over the long run. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of the plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial conditions. The target allocation of plan assets is 40% to 60% of the investment portfolio to equity and limited partnerships, with the remainder primarily invested in fixed income securities. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of fixed income, equity and short-term securities. Alternative investments, including limited partnerships, have been used to enhance risk adjusted long-term returns while improving portfolio diversification. At December 31, 2021, the pension trust had committed approximately $2.0 million to future capital calls from various third party limited partnership investments in exchange for an ownership interest in the related partnerships. Investment risk is monitored through annual liability measurements, periodic asset and liability studies and quarterly investment portfolio reviews.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%"> PBOP: The investment strategy for the PBOP assets is to reduce the volatility of plan investments while protecting the initial investment given the overfunded status of the plan.
