Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 19, 2009, AGL Resources Inc. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jefferson Island Storage & Hub, LLC (JISH) has negotiated a tentative agreement with the state of Louisiana that, subject to approval, would resolve the pending lawsuit between the parties over a disputed mineral lease. The agreement would enable JISH to resume its plans to expand its existing storage facility. This agreement is expected to be presented at a public hearing in Iberia Parish shortly, and must be approved by the state's Mineral Board to be valid.
