Dear Shareholders,

As you know, this year shareholders can submit questions prior to our annual meeting. We are posting answers to those questions now, rather than waiting for the annual meeting. The answers can be found on our website at cmsenergy.com, 2021ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY MATERIALS. We plan to continue to respond to questions as they are received, and all answers should be posted prior to the annual meeting.

Thank you for your interest.
