ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On January 4, 2006, the Office and Professional Employees International Union, Local No. 2 (A.F.L.-C.I.O.) (Local 2), ratified a thirty-nine month labor contract effective on January 1, 2006 with Washington Gas Light Company (Washington Gas), a wholly owned subsidiary of WGL Holdings, Inc. The provisions of this new contract include the following terms:

• General wage increases of 2.75 percent effective January 1, 2006, 3.0 percent effective April 1, 2007, and 3.5 percent effective April 1, 2008. The new contract expires on March 31, 2009;

• A bonus of $775 for members to recognize their early ratification of the agreement;

• An increase in the amount of the employee medical plan contribution to 15 percent of the total cost, beginning January 1, 2007 and adjusting annually to maintain this cost-sharing arrangement. This is consistent with the current cost-sharing arrangement for management employees and the cost-sharing arrangement that will become effective on January 1, 2007 for retirees who participate in Washington Gas’ medical benefits program;

• An enhanced pension benefit formula for Local 2 employees who retire from company service beginning in calendar year 2007;

• Simplified short-term disability and sick time programs, which will be aligned with other Washington Gas, union eligible employees’ programs; and

• Employment security for Local 2 employees hired on or before April 1, 1995.

This contract covers approximately 290 employees, and replaces a previous collective bargaining agreement that was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2006.
