Schedule A: Schedule of Investors
Exhibit A: Form of Lock-Up Agreement
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 11, 2025, by and among Centuri Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the investors listed on Schedule A attached hereto (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”).
WHEREAS, each Investor has a substantive, pre-existing relationship with the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-287300) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), containing a base prospectus, which covers the issuance, offer and sale from time to time in one or more offerings by the Company of up to $500,000,000 in the aggregate of the Company’s equity securities, including the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”);
WHEREAS, the Company intends to file a prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement with the SEC, in connection with the Company’s proposed sale of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering (the “Follow-On Offering”);
WHEREAS, concurrently with the completion of the Follow-On Offering, the Company desires to sell to the Investors, and the Investors desire to purchase from the Company in a private placement, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, such number of Shares (as defined below) of the Company’s unregistered Common Stock as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, such purchase and sale of the Shares shall occur immediately after, and be conditioned on, the closing of the Follow-On Offering.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, agreements and warranties herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Stock.
1.1 Sale of Common Stock.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell to each Investor, the number of shares (collectively, as may be adjusted in accordance with the Closing Adjustment (as defined herein), the “Shares”) of Common Stock equal to the purchase price set forth next to such Investor’s name on Schedule A hereto divided by the price per share equal to the per share Follow-On Offering price set forth on the cover page of the final prospectus relating to the Follow-On Offering (before underwriting discounts and expenses) (the “Follow-On Offering Price”), rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock; provided, that, if, as a result of either Investor’s acquisition of the Shares allocated thereto in accordance with this Agreement, such Investor or its Affiliates or Associates would Beneficially Own (as such terms are defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation)) in the aggregate 15% or more of the outstanding Voting Stock (as defined in the
Certificate of Incorporation) upon Closing, the Company and the Investors agree that the aggregate number of Shares that the Company has agreed to sell to the Investors, and the Investors have agreed to purchase from the Company, in accordance with this Agreement shall be adjusted downward only to the extent necessary to prevent the Investors or their respective Affiliates or Associates from Beneficially Owning in the aggregate 15% or more of the outstanding Voting Stock upon Closing (the “Closing Adjustment”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Shares be sold to, or purchased by, the Investors pursuant to this Agreement for any price per share other than the Follow-On Offering Price.
(b) All references to numbers of shares and prices per share in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or other recapitalization or reclassification of shares by the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the determination of the Follow-On Offering Price.
1.2 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signature pages at the time immediately subsequent to the closing of the Follow-On Offering (which time and place are designated as the “Closing”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 hereof. At the Closing, each Investor shall make payment of the aggregate purchase price (as adjusted downward as a result of the Closing Adjustment, if applicable (the “Adjusted Aggregate Purchase Price”)) for the Shares allocated thereto in accordance with this Agreement by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company against delivery to such Investor of the Shares registered in the name of such Investor, which Shares shall be uncertificated shares. If the Closing Adjustment is required, the parties hereto shall agree in writing, prior to the Closing, as to the amount of the Closing Adjustment, including the resulting allocation of Shares between the Investors, and the Adjusted Aggregate Purchase Price, including the resulting allocation of such price between the Investors.
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. THE COMPANY HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO EACH INVESTOR THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND AS OF THE DATE OF THE CLOSING:
2.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and has all power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity, or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
2.2 Authorization. The Company has full corporate right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and to perform its obligations hereunder; and all corporate action required to be taken by the Company for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery by it of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
hereby has been duly and validly taken, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
2.3 The Shares. The Shares to be issued and sold by the Company hereunder have been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued and delivered and paid for as provided herein, will be duly and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable; and the issuance of the Shares is not subject to any preemptive or similar rights.
2.4 No Violation or Default. The Company is not (i) in violation of its charter or bylaws; (ii) in default, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any property or asset of the Company is subject; or (iii) in material violation of any applicable law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, except, in the case of clauses (ii) above for any such default or violation that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.5 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, result in the termination, modification or acceleration of, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property, right or asset of the Company pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any property, right or asset of the Company is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws of the Company or (iii) result in a material violation of any applicable law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, except, in the case of clauses (i) above, for any such conflict, breach, violation, default, lien, charge or encumbrance that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.6 Brokers or Finders. The Company is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person that would give rise to a valid claim against it for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares. The Shares to be sold by the Company to each Investor as contemplated by this Agreement will not be subject to any underwriting or other discount that is payable to the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named in Schedule 1 to the underwriting agreement to be entered into by and between the Company, on the one hand, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, on the other hand, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the Underwriters (the “Underwriting Agreement”), pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement with respect to the Common Stock sold in the Follow-On Offering.
2.7 Lock-Up Agreements. The Company represents and warrants that as of the Closing, all lock-up agreements required to be delivered to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, each in substantially the same form as the Lock-Up Agreement, shall have been delivered.
2.8 Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties and covenants of each Investor set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is required for the sale of the Shares by the Company to such Investor under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would require such a registration.
2.9 Common Stock Outstanding. As of the date hereof, the Company has 88,649,154 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
2.10 No Additional Representations. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY THE COMPANY IN THIS SECTION 2, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OTHER PERSON MAKES (AND EACH INVESTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES AND REPRESENTATIVES THAT IT HAS NOT RELIED UPON) ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE SHARES OR THE COMPANY OR ITS BUSINESSES, OPERATIONS, ASSETS, LIABILITIES, OR CONDITION, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY INVESTOR TO RELY ON THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NOR WILL ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OPERATE TO LIMIT ANY CLAIM BY ANY INVESTOR FOR FRAUD.
3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investors. EACH INVESTOR HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT, AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND AS OF THE DATE OF THE CLOSING:

3.16 No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice.

If any of the representations and warranties made by such Investor herein are no longer accurate in all material respects prior to the Closing, such Investor shall promptly notify the Company.

In the event of any such termination, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by the parties hereto, in each case, except (i) as set forth in the preceding sentence and (ii) that the provisions of Section 8 (Miscellaneous) and this Section 7.1 (Effect of Termination) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Publicity. No party shall issue any press release or make any other public announcement, including any website posting or social media post, that includes the name or any logo or brand name of any party, or discloses the terms of this Agreement or the fact that the Investors have made or propose to make an investment in the Company, except as may be required by law, the SEC or the NYSE or with the prior written consent of the other party. Each party will provide reasonable advance notice to the other parties prior to making any disclosure of this Agreement or the terms hereof in any filings made with the SEC or in any submissions made to the NYSE, and will provide the other party with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such proposed disclosures; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.1 shall delay any required filing or other disclosure with the SEC or the NYSE or otherwise hinder the Company’s ability to timely comply with all laws or rules and regulations of the NYSE, the SEC or other governmental authority.
8.2 Survival of Warranties. The warranties, representations and covenants of the Company and each Investor contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing and shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of any Investor or the Company.
8.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and any and all rights, duties and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned, transferred, delegated or sublicensed by any Investor without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, the Shares and the rights, duties and obligations of such Investor hereunder may be assigned to another Investor without the prior written consent of the Company but any such assignment shall not relieve such Investor of its duties and obligations hereunder. Any attempt by any Investor without such permission to assign, transfer, delegate or sublicense any rights, duties or obligations that arise under this Agreement in a manner that is not permitted by the foregoing sentence to be made without such permission shall be void. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.
8.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal law of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York.
8.5 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.5.
8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
8.7 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:
(a) if to an Investor, to such Investor’s address or electronic mail address as shown on such Investor’s signature page to this Agreement, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to Thompson Hine LLP, 300 Madison Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, New York 10017-6232, Attention: Todd E. Mason ([***]) and Corby J. Baumann ([***]).
(b) if to the Company, to Centuri Holdings, Inc., 19820 North 7th Avenue, Suite 120, Phoenix, Arizona 85027, Attention: Jason S. Wilcock ([***]), or at such other current address or electronic mail address as the Company shall have furnished to the Investors, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to Baker Botts L.L.P., 910 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention: Clinton W. Rancher ([***]) and Eileen S. Boyce ([***]).
Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given (i) if delivered by hand, messenger or courier service, when delivered (or if sent via a nationally-recognized overnight courier service, freight prepaid, specifying next-business-day delivery, one (1) business day after deposit with the courier), (ii) if sent via mail, at the earlier of its receipt or five (5) days after the same has been deposited in a regularly-maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or (iii) if sent via electronic mail, when directed to the relevant electronic mail address, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, or if not sent during normal business hours of the recipient, then on the recipient’s next business day. In the event of any conflict between the Company’s books and records and this Agreement or any notice delivered hereunder, the Company’s books and records will control absent fraud or error.
8.8 Brokers or Finders. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a brokerage or finder’s fee or agent’s commission (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Investor or any of its constituent partners, members, officers, directors, employees or representatives is responsible to the extent such liability is attributable to
any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.7, and such Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a brokerage or finder’s fee or agent’s commission (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Company or any of its constituent partners, members, officers, directors, employees or representatives is responsible to the extent such liability is attributable to any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.7.
8.9 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Investors.
8.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement, and such court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
8.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties. No party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner with regard to the subjects hereof or thereof by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.
8.12 Specific Performance. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by any Investor, and each Investor would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by the Company, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that will be suffered by the aggrieved party in the event that this agreement is breached. Therefore, each of the parties to this Agreement agree to the granting of specific performance of this Agreement and injunctive or other equitable relief in favor of the aggrieved party as a remedy for any such breach, without proof of actual damages, and the parties to this Agreement further waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the aggrieved party. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
8.13 Expenses. Each of the parties to this Agreement will bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement.
8.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto, including entities that become parties hereto after the date hereof or that agree in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Investors, and no former, current or future equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates of any party hereto or any former, current or future equityholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any covenants, obligations, agreements or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of any party against the other parties hereto, in no event shall any party or any of its affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party.
