ITEM 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers. Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)    On September 18, 2020, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ameren Corporation (“Ameren”) granted to each of Martin J. Lyons, Jr., Chairman and President of Union Electric Company, doing business as Ameren Missouri, and Michael L. Moehn, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Ameren, a special award of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), effective as of September 18, 2020, which will cliff-vest after three years on September 17, 2023. The RSUs are intended to serve as critical retention tools for these two executives whose demonstrated track record of strong performance and leadership skills are integral to the execution of Ameren’s long-term business strategy and the delivery of superior value to Ameren’s customers and shareholders, as well as for prudent succession planning purposes.

The number of RSUs granted to Mr. Lyons and Mr. Moehn was 19,067 and 18,037, respectively. The terms and conditions of the awards are substantially the same as those applicable to Ameren’s annual RSU awards generally; however, because of the intended retentive nature of these awards, they do not provide for pro rata vesting in connection with the executive officer’s retirement.
