Item 8.01 — Other Events
On August 15, 2006, Sierra Pacific Resources made a $200 million contribution to the capital of NPC, which NPC will use to repay certain indebtedness to be determined by NPC at a future date. Sierra Pacific Resources made such capital contribution from the proceeds of the sale of 20,000,000 shares of its common stock to Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., which transaction settled on August 15, 2006 and yielded approximately $280 million of proceeds to Sierra Pacific Resources. The remaining proceeds from the offering may be used by Sierra Pacific Resources from time to time (i) to make additional capital contributions to NPC or, to its other wholly-owned subsidiary, Sierra Pacific Power Company, (ii) to repay a portion of its outstanding indebtedness, and/or (iii) for general corporate purposes.
