ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
The Philadelphia Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) has approved the voluntary delisting of the three series of preferred stock of Washington Gas Light Company (the “Company”). These three series of preferred stock are the Company’s $4.25 series preferred stock; $4.80 series preferred stock and $5.00 series preferred stock. The Company applied to voluntarily delist this preferred stock in response to a notice from the Exchange that there are not a sufficient number of preferred shares outstanding to meet the Exchange’s requirements for continued listing on the Exchange.
The decision to delist the preferred stock of Washington Gas Light Company does not change any rights of the holders of such preferred shares nor the obligations of Washington Gas Light Company.
The Company’s preferred stock will continue to be quoted on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board and in the Pink Sheets.
The delisting will become effective upon entry of an order by the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is anticipated that this order will be issued during the month of May 2002. The Company intends to register the preferred stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon its delisting.
Washington Gas Light Company is a natural gas utility subsidiary of WGL Holdings, Inc.
