Item 8.01 Other Matters.
On June 11, 2019, Aqua America, Inc. (the “Company”) and its Pennsylvania subsidiary participated in a hearing before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (the “PaPUC”) with respect to its previously announced potential acquisition of LDC Parent, LLC (“Peoples Gas”) (the “Transaction”) and filed a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the PaPUC. All but two of the intervenors to the case have entered into or chosen not to oppose the Settlement Agreement, and the Company completed the hearing with the remaining two intervenors. The closing of the Transaction is anticipated to occur in the fall of 2019. The Company has updated its investor presentation to reflect this event and the related potential impact on the timing of its anticipated receipt of regulatory approval from the PaPUC. The updated presentation will be posted to the Company’s website. The updated presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
