acquisition of Vectren Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) through a merger (the &#147;Merger&#148;) of Pacer Merger Sub, Inc., an Indiana corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), with and into the Company
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April&nbsp;21, 2018, by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent as
of the Effective Time (as defined below). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the
Merger (the &#147;Effective Time&#148;), each share of common stock, no par value, of the Company (&#147;Company common stock&#148;) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive
$72.00 in cash, without interest. At the Effective Time, each stock unit that was payable in Company common stock or whose value was determined with reference to the value of Company common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether
vested or unvested, was cancelled at the Effective Time with cash consideration paid therefor in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The aggregate value of the consideration paid by Parent in connection with the Merger was
approximately $6&nbsp;billion, which was funded through a combination of various issuances by Parent of its common and preferred stock, unsecured senior notes and unsecured commercial paper. </P>

listing on Form 25 to delist the Company common stock from the NYSE and to withdraw the registration of the Company common stock under Section&nbsp;12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). The Company
also intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of the Company common stock with the SEC under Section&nbsp;12(g) of the Exchange Act and its reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d)

Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 1, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), CenterPoint Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Parent"), completed its previously announced
acquisition of Vectren Corporation (the "Company") through a merger (the "Merger") of Pacer Merger Sub, Inc., an Indiana corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), with and into the Company
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 21, 2018, by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub (the "Merger Agreement"). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent as
of the Effective Time (as defined below).
On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the
Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of common stock, no par value, of the Company ("Company common stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive
$72.00 in cash, without interest. At the Effective Time, each stock unit that was payable in Company common stock or whose value was determined with reference to the value of Company common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether
vested or unvested, was cancelled at the Effective Time with cash consideration paid therefor in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The aggregate value of the consideration paid by Parent in connection with the Merger was
approximately $6 billion, which was funded through a combination of various issuances by Parent of its common and preferred stock, unsecured senior notes and unsecured commercial paper.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified
in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form
8-K
filed on April 23, 2018, and which is incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 3.01.    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
Effective as of the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the Closing Date, the shares of the Company common stock,
which traded under the symbol "VVC", were suspended from trading on the NYSE. On the Closing Date, the Company requested that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a notification of removal from
listing on Form 25 to delist the Company common stock from the NYSE and to withdraw the registration of the Company common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company
also intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of the Company common stock with the SEC under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and its reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d)
of the Exchange Act. The disclosure set forth in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03.    Material
Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The disclosure set forth in Items 2.01, 3.01 and 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.01.    Changes in Control of Registrant.
As a result of the consummation of the Merger, a change of control of the Company occurred, and each of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
including Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc. ("VUHI"), is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The disclosure set forth in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In connection with the Merger, at the Effective Time, all of the existing directors of the Company and VUHI ceased
to be directors, and Scott M. Prochazka, the sole director of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, became the sole director of the Company and the sole director of VUHI. None of the departing directors stated that his or her departure
related to any disagreement with the Company or VUHI on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of such company.
Following the
Merger, Carl L. Chapman ceased to be the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VUHI; M. Susan Hardwick ceased to be the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
the Company and VUHI; Eric J. Schach ceased to be the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and the President of VUHI; and Ronald E. Christian ceased to be the Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and External Affairs
Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company and the Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and External Affairs Officer and Secretary of VUHI.
Item 5.03.    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At the Effective Time and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time became
the articles of incorporation of the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, and (ii) the bylaws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time became the bylaws of the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger.
Copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company after giving effect to the Merger are included as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and are
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On February 1, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the amount of its previously announced "stub period" dividend. A dividend in the
amount of $0.41145 per share will be paid no later than February 8, 2019 to shareholders of record immediately prior to the Effective Time. The amount equals $0.005275 per day times 78 days, which is the number of days from
November 16 through and including February 1, 2019, the Effective Time. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
