Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On September 25, 2013, UIL Holdings Corporation
("UIL Holdings") announced that it intends to offer approximately 5,000,000 shares of its common stock in a registered

to $2.08 to $2.23 per diluted share. The revised earnings guidance, including the non-recurring items, is revised from $2.00 to

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
UIL Holdings believes forecasted earnings
per share (EPS) information by line of business is useful in understanding and evaluating projected financial performance and contribution
of UIL Holdings' businesses. EPS by business is calculated by taking the forecasted pretax amounts determined in accordance
with GAAP of each line of business, and applying the effective statutory federal and state tax rate and then dividing the results
by the average number of diluted shares of UIL Holdings common stock outstanding for the period presented. Total consolidated EPS
is a GAAP-basis presentation.
