F1: Grant of restricted share units (RSUs) which vest in three equal installments on February 8, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Restricted share units are distributable in Eversource Energy common shares on a one-for-one basis. RSU holders are entitled to receive dividend equivalents, exempt from line item reporting under SEC Rule 16a-11, to the same extent dividends are paid on common shares.

F2: Includes restricted share units and dividend equivalents thereon.

F3: Performance shares and dividend equivalent shares for the 2018-2020 Long-Term Incentive Program as determined on February 8, 2021.

F4: Shares held in trust under the Eversource 401k Plan, a qualified plan, according to information supplied by the Plan's record keeper.

F5: Reporting Person's deferred compensation under the Eversource Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, that is nominally invested as common shares. Each phantom share represents the right to receive one Eversource Energy common share upon a distribution event, following vesting. Additional phantom shares are issued upon the automatic reinvestment of dividend-equivalents exempt from the line item reporting under SEC Rule 16a-11.
