Item 8.01 Other Events
Vectren Corporation (the Company), and its intermediate holding company, Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc., announced that, on October 5, 2005, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved the settlement agreement between Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana, Inc. and the Indiana Office of the Utility Consumer Counselor for a normal temperature adjustment (NTA) billing mechanism. The NTA mechanism will compare the actual weather experienced to normal weather and will adjust the distribution charge portion of the customer bill accordingly. The mechanism will mitigate swings in distribution charges created by weather fluctuations by lowering customer bills when weather is colder than normal and increasing customer bills when the weather is warmer than normal. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. The Company’s subsidiaries, Indiana Gas Company, Inc. and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, generally do business as Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana, Inc.
In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company has included cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Indiana Gas Company, Inc., Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, and Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio, Inc. to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made by, or on behalf of, the Company and its subsidiaries. These cautionary statements are attached as Exhibit 99.2.
