ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On July 11, 2006, the management of Washington Gas Light Company (the Company or Washington Gas), a wholly owned subsidiary of WGL Holdings, Inc., informed its employees that the Company will pursue an exploratory step for possible business outsourcing by developing and issuing Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to potential service providers. This action is consistent with the Company’s strategic objective of achieving improvements in the performance of its utility business and is based on its commitment to provide safe, reliable gas delivery service to customers at a reasonable cost. The issuance of a RFP does not commit the Company to outsource any functions and follow up action will be determined after completing a thorough evaluation of the proposals. However, if the Company does ultimately outsource certain functions, it will do so with the intent of providing improved performance and reducing certain expenses. The timing and amount of any expense savings that may be realized and any costs that are incurred to achieve those savings if outsourcing occurs can not be determined at this time.
