Knife River Corporation Completes Spinoff from MDU Resources<\/b><\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nKnife River Corporation (NYSE: KNF) today announced the successful completion of its spinoff from MDU Resources Group, Inc. (NYSE: MDU). As a result of the spinoff, Knife River is now an independent, public company that will begin \u201cregular way\u201d trading this morning on the New York Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe opportunity to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange this morning, representing nearly 6,000 dedicated Knife River team members, is truly an honor and is an exciting moment in our company\u2019s history,\u201d said Brian R. Gray, president and CEO of Knife River. \u201cOur team is well-established and well prepared to be on our own as a pure-play construction materials and contracting services company. We are focused on building America\u2019s infrastructure and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAs previously announced, the separation of Knife River Corporation occurred through a pro rata distribution of approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of KNF common stock to MDU Resources\u2019 stockholders. In connection with the spinoff, MDU Resources\u2019 stockholders retained their shares of MDU common stock and received one share of KNF common stock on May 31 for every four shares of MDU common stock held on May 22, 2023, the record date for the distribution. MDU Resources retained approximately 10% of Knife River\u2019s common stock. Additional details about the distribution and Knife River\u2019s management and business can be found in the information statement attached to Knife River\u2019s Registration Statement on Form 10 as Exhibit 99.1, which can be found at https:\/\/investors.kniferiver.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nIn connection with the completion of the spinoff, effective today, the company changed its name from Knife River Holding Company to Knife River Corporation.<\/p>\n
