Washington Street Boise, ID 83702 Case No. AVU-U-21-03 We are submitting the following information in compliance with the Commission’s Order No. 35286 under Case No. AVU-U-21-03 for the sale of securities not to exceed $400,000,000. On March 29, 2023, Avista Corp. issued $250 million of 5.66 percent First Mortgage Bonds (“FMBs”) due in 2053 under a bond purchase agreement with certain institutional investors in the private placement market. The new First Mortgage Bonds were issued under and in accordance with the Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of June 1, 1939, from the Company to Citibank, N.A., trustee, as amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures and other instruments. In connection with pricing of the First Mortgage Bonds, which took place prior to the issuance of these bonds, we cash settled four interest rate swap contracts and received a total of $7.5 million, which will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the life of the debt. The total net proceeds from the sale of the new bonds will be used for the construction or improvement of utility facilities, and to refinance existing indebtedness incurred for these purposes.

Sincerely, Jason Lang Director of Finance, Risk and Assistant Treasurer Avista Corporation Private Placement of First Mortgage Bonds Summary of Proposed Terms The securities being offered will be a new series of First Mortgage Bonds issued under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of June 1, 1939, from Avista Corporation (the “Company”) to Citibank, NA., successor trustee, as amended and supplemented (the “Mortgage”). The new series of bonds will be created, and the terms thereof will be set forth, in the Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture, to be dated as of March 1, 2023 (the “Supplemental Indenture”). The form of Supplemental Indenture, which has been prepared by Bracewell LLP, counsel to the Company, has been posted to the Intralinks site, together with a blackline showing changes from the Sixty-fifth Supplemental Indenture, which created the series of bonds issued in the Company’s most recent private placement. The new bonds will be sold pursuant to a Bond Purchase Agreement between Avista Corporation and the Purchasers. The form of Bond Purchase Agreement, which has been prepared by Choate, Hall & Stewart LLP, counsel to the Purchasers has also been posted to the Intralinks site, together with a blackline showing changes from the agreement used in the Company’s last private placement of bonds. The Bond Purchase Agreement is based on the Model Form No. 2, except that the provisions relating to the new bonds, the terms thereof and the security therefor are found in the Mortgage including the Supplemental Indenture. This summary does not cover all aspects of the transaction and is qualified in its entirety by the Mortgage. See the Description of Avista Mortgage which has also been posted on Intralinks. Issuer Avista Corporation Issue(s) First Mortgage Bonds (the “Bonds”) to be issued under the Mortgage, which, at the election of the Company, may be issued in multiple series if there is more than one maturity. Principal Amount Aggregate of $200,000,000 which, at the option of the Company, may be increased or decreased. Maturity 30-year bullet maturity (April 1, 2053). Closing and Funding March 30, 2023 Issue Price Par. Interest Rate Margin will be determined via an auction process and added to the yield on the comparable Treasury Notes (will be priced off the 30 year US Treasury 3.625% due February 15, 2053). Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears, computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months in a year of 360 days. Ranking The Bonds will be senior secured obligations of the Company, ranking pari passu in all respects with the Company’s other First Mortgage Bonds outstanding under the Mortgage. Security The Bonds (but not the Bond Purchase Agreement) will be secured, pari passu with other bonds outstanding under the Mortgage, by a first lien on the Company’s facilities for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy and the storage and distribution of natural gas, subject to “excepted encumbrances” (as defined in the Mortgage) and other encumbrances, defects or irregularities that are not material in the operation of the Company’s business. Use of Proceeds Net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used for the construction or improvement of utility facilities, to refinance existing indebtedness incurred for such purposes, or to reimburse the treasury for moneys expended for such purposes. Optional Redemption Prior to October 1, 2052, the Bonds shall be redeemable at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the Make-Whole Price. The “Make-Whole Price” will be defined as the greater of (i) par or (ii) (ii) the present value of the remaining principal and interest payments due on the Bonds discounted by the yield on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity corresponding to the remaining life of the Bonds (assuming for this purpose that the stated maturity date were October 1, 2052) plus 50 basis points, less accrued interest to the redemption date, plus, in any case, accrued and unpaid interest. On or after October 1, 2052, the Bonds may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent of the principal amount of the series being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest but without make-whole premium.

Events of Default Events of default under the Mortgage are • Failure to pay principal or premium when due at maturity or otherwise; • Failure to pay interest within 60 days of due date; • Failure to perform any of the covenants for 90 days after notice to the Company from the Trustee; • Failure to pay interest on, or principal of any qualified prior lien bonds beyond any grace period specified in the prior lien securing such prior lien bonds; or • Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successor or successors in such trust under the Mortgage, as follows: ARTICLE I Sixty-eighth Series of Bonds SECTION 1. (I) There shall be a series of bonds designated "First Mortgage Bonds, 5.66% Series due 2053" (herein sometimes referred to as the "Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series" or the "Bonds"), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof is set forth on Exhibit D hereto. The Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of One Thousand Dollars and, at the option of the Company, any amount in excess thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof) and shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Original Mortgage provided. (II) The Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall have the following terms and characteristics: 6 (a) the Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be limited in aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000 (except for Bonds of such series authenticated and delivered upon transfer of or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Bonds of such series); (b) the principal of the Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall (unless theretofore paid) be payable on the Stated Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined); (c) the Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall bear interest at the rate of five and sixty-six one-hundredths per centum (5.66%) per annum; interest on the Bonds shall accrue from and including March 29, 2023, except as otherwise provided in the form of bond attached hereto as Exhibit D; interest on the Bonds shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date and at Maturity (as hereinafter defined); and interest on the Bonds during any period less than one year for which payment is made shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-days months; (d) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each Bond of the Sixty-eighth Series payable at Maturity shall be payable to the registered owner thereof upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. The interest on each Bond of the Sixty-eighth Series (other than interest payable at Maturity) shall be payable by check, in similar coin or currency, mailed to the registered owner thereof as of the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter defined) next preceding each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if such registered owner shall be a securities depositary, such payment may be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee and such registered owner; and, provided, further, that, so long as any Bond of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be held by (i) the original purchaser thereof under the Bond Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any other Institutional Investor (as hereinafter defined) that (A) is the direct or indirect transferee of such Bond from such original purchaser and (B) has made the same agreement relating to such Bond as such original purchaser made in Section 8.2 of the Bond Purchase Agreement, payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be payable in the manner specified in the Bond Purchase Agreement. Interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the person to whom principal shall be paid. (e) (i) Prior to the Par Call Date (as hereinafter defined), the Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be redeemable in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed and (B) (I) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds being redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Bonds were stated to mature on the Par Call Date), discounted to the date of redemption on a 7 semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield (as hereinafter defined) plus 50 basis points, less (II) interest accrued to the redemption date, plus, in the case of either (A) or (B) above, whichever is applicable, accrued and unpaid interest on such Bonds to the date of redemption. (ii) On or after the Par Call Date, the Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be redeemable in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Bonds to the date of redemption. (f) (i) "Par Call Date" means October 1, 2052. (ii) "Treasury Yield" means, with respect to any redemption of Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series, the yield to maturity determined as follows for the latest day for which yields for Treasury constant maturities are reported on H.15 (as hereinafter defined) as of the Calculation Date (as hereinafter defined): (A) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the "Remaining Life"); or (B) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 having a term exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the yield to maturity determined by linear interpolation on a straight-line basis between (I) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity reported on H.15 with the term next longer than the Remaining Life and (II) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term next shorter than the Remaining Life, or (C) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than the Remaining Life, or there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. The Treasury Yield shall be rounded to three decimal places. The Treasury Yield shall be calculated as of the third Business Day (as hereinafter defined) preceding the earlier of (X) the date notice of redemption is mailed to holders of Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series and (Y) the date irrevocable arrangements with the Trustee for the mailing of such notice shall have been made, as the case may be (the "Calculation Date"). For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity shall be deemed to have a term equal to the number of years, months and days, as applicable, from the redemption date of the Bonds to be redeemed to the Par Call Date. 8 If, on the third business day preceding the Calculation Date, H.15 is no longer published or, if published, no longer contains the yields for nominal Treasury constant maturities, the Treasury yield shall be the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding the Calculation Date of: (A) the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable; or (B) if there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date; or (C) if there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such securities at such time. In determining the Treasury yield in accordance with this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, rounded to three decimal places. (iii) "H.15" means the daily statistical release entitled "Selected Interest Rates (Daily) – H.15", or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor entity; or, if such Board of Governors no longer publishes the information contained in such statistical release, a publication containing similar information published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or any successor or other U.S. governmental body; and, in any case, references to H.15 shall be deemed to contemplate, in particular, the information under the caption "U.S. governmental securities – Treasury constant maturities – Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading containing similar information). (iv) The Company's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (g) If less than all of the outstanding Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series are to be redeemed, the principal amount to be redeemed shall be prorated among all of the holders of the Bonds in the proportion that their respective holdings bear to the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding on the date of selection. The portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof and such rounding allocations as may be requisite for this 9 purpose shall be made by the Trustee in its uncontrolled discretion. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the distinctive numbers of the Bonds and the portions thereof so selected for redemption. (h) Except as provided in this subsection (II) of Section 1, (i) the Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall not be redeemable prior to the Stated Maturity Date; and (ii) no amount other than the principal of and interest on the Bonds of the Sixty-eighth Series shall be payable in respect of the Bonds at Maturity (as hereinafter defined) or otherwise. (i) in the event of any conflict between the provisions of Section 12.2(c) of the Bond Purchase Agreement and the provisions of the Mortgage, Section 12.2(c) of the Bond Purchase Agreement shall govern.

This bond shall bear interest from March 29, 2023 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date on or prior to the date of this bond to which interest on the bonds of this series has been paid. Dated: AVISTA CORPORATION By: Name: Title: ATTEST: Name: Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE This bond is one of the bonds of the series herein designated, described or provided for in the within-mentioned Mortgage. CITIBANK, N.A. Trustee By Authorized Signatory D-2 The principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this bond payable at Maturity shall be payable to the registered owner hereof upon presentation hereof at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. The interest on this bond (other than interest payable at Maturity) shall be paid by check, in the similar coin or currency, mailed to the registered owner hereof as of the close of business on the seventh Business Day (as defined in the Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture referred to below) preceding each Interest Payment Date (each such date being herein called a "Record Date"); provided, however, that if such registered owner shall be a securities depositary, such payment shall be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee and such registered owner; and provided further that, so long as this Bond shall be held by (a) the original purchaser hereof under the Bond Purchase Agreement (as defined in such Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture) or (b) any other Institutional Investor (as defined in such Supplemental Indenture) that (i) is the direct or indirect transferee of this bond from such original purchaser and (ii) has made the same agreement relating to this bond as such original purchaser made in Section 8.2 of the Bond Purchase Agreement, payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond shall be payable in the manner specified in the Bond Purchase Agreement. Interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the person to whom principal shall be paid. As used herein, the term "Maturity" shall mean the date on which the principal of this bond becomes due and payable, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption or acceleration, or otherwise. This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company issuable in series and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 5.66% Series due 2053, all bonds of all such series being issued and issuable under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking or other fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of June 1, 1939 (the "Original Mortgage"), executed by the Company (formerly known as The Washington Water Power Company) to City Bank Farmers Trust Company and Ralph E. Morton, as Trustees (Citibank, N.A., successor Trustee to both said Trustees). The Original Mortgage has been amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures, including the Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2023 (the "Sixty- seventh Supplemental Indenture"), and, as so amended and supplemented, is herein called the "Mortgage". Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are and are to be secured and the circumstances under which additional bonds may be issued. If there shall be a conflict between the terms of this bond and the provisions of the Mortgage, the provisions of the Mortgage shall control to the extent permitted by law. The holder of this bond, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and, further, in the event that such holder shall not be the sole beneficial owner of this bond, shall be deemed to have agreed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause all direct and indirect beneficial owners of this bond to have knowledge of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and of this bond and to comply therewith, including particularly, but without limitation, any provisions or restrictions in the Mortgage regarding the transfer or exchange of such beneficial interests and any legend set forth on this bond. D-3 The Mortgage may be modified or altered by affirmative vote of the holders of at least 60% in principal amount of the bonds outstanding under the Mortgage, considered as one class, or, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds then outstanding are to be affected, then such modification or alteration may be effected with the affirmative vote only of 60% in principal amount of the bonds outstanding of the series so to be affected, considered as one class, and, furthermore, for limited purposes, the Mortgage may be modified or altered without any consent or other action of holders of any series of bonds. No modification or alteration shall, however, permit an extension of the Maturity of the principal of, or interest on, this bond or a reduction in such principal or the rate of interest hereon or any other modification in the terms of payment of such principal or interest or the creation of any lien equal or prior to the lien of the Mortgage or deprive the holder of a lien on the mortgaged and pledged property without the consent of the holder hereof. Each initial and subsequent holder of bonds of this series, by virtue of its acquisition of an interest therein, shall be deemed, without further act, to have consented to the prospective amendments to the Original Mortgage set forth or referred to in the Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture. The principal hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereon (but without premium), may be declared or may become due prior to the Stated Maturity Date on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a Completed Default as in the Mortgage provided. As provided in the Mortgage and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee moneys or direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America, the principal of and interest on which when due, and without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with moneys so deposited, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this bond when due. The Mortgage contains terms, provisions and conditions relating to the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, and the conveyance or other transfer, or lease, of assets to, another corporation and to the assumption by such other corporation, in certain circumstances, of all of the obligations of the Company under the Mortgage and on the bonds secured thereby. In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, this bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, together with a written instrument of transfer whenever required by the Company duly executed by the registered owner or by its duly authorized attorney, and, thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage. The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes. In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, any bonds of this series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of D-4 Manhattan, The City of New York, are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations. Prior to the Par Call Date (as hereinafter defined), the bonds of this series shall be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon notice mailed as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds being redeemed and (b) (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the bonds being redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the bonds of this series were stated to mature on the Par Call Date), discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30- day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield (as hereinafter defined) plus 50 basis points, less (ii) interest accrued to the redemption date, plus, in the case of either (a) or (b) above, whichever is applicable, accrued and unpaid interest on such bonds to the date of redemption. On or after the Par Call Date, the bonds of this series shall be redeemable in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon notice mailed as aforesaid, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the bonds being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such bonds to the date of redemption. "Par Call Date" means October 1, 2052. "Treasury Yield" has the meaning set forth in the Sixty-seventh Supplemental Indenture. Except as provided above, (a) the bonds of this series are not redeemable prior to the Stated Maturity Date and (b) no amount other than the principal of and interest on the bonds of this series shall be payable in respect of such bonds at Maturity or otherwise. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage. This bond shall not become obligatory until Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Mortgage, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon. ____________________ D-5 ASSIGNMENT FORM FOR VALUE RECEIVED the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers unto ________________________________________________________________________ [please insert social security or other identifying number of assignee] ________________________________________________________________________ [please print or typewrite name and address of assignee] ________________________________________________________________________ the within bond of AVISTA CORPORATION and does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint ____________________________________________, Attorney, to transfer said bond on the books of the within-mentioned Company, with full power of substitution in the premises.
