SEC Approves AGL Resources' Acquisition of NUI Corp.
AGL RESOURCES TO BE EAST COAST'S LARGEST NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTOR
MANAGEMENT APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED
ATLANTA, Ga. — Nov. 26, 2004 — The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today approved the acquisition by AGL Resources Inc. (NYSE:ATG) of NUI Corp. (NYSE:NUI), a diversified energy company with natural gas utilities, storage and pipeline operations, for $13.70 per share in cash and the assumption of NUI's debt at closing. The transaction is expected to close Nov. 30, 2004.
The addition of NUI will expand AGL Resources' base of urban utility operations to 2.2 million customers in six states and strengthens its position as the largest operator of natural gas utility assets in the eastern United States. In 2003, AGL Resources was named Gas Company of the Year by Platts Global Energy.
"AGL Resources and NUI had requested expedited approval to close the transaction prior to year end - before the peak of the winter so that NUI customers would continue to receive natural gas service without interruption," said Paula Rosput Reynolds, chairman, president and chief executive officer of AGL Resources. "We are gratified that regulators in three states and the federal government agreed with this priority and approved this acquisition in an expedited time frame."
Eric Martinez, formerly senior vice president at AGL Resources division, Pivotal Energy Development, will report to Linginfelter and will become vice president and general manager of Elizabethtown Gas. Charles Rawson, formerly managing director, wholesale services, at Atlanta Gas Light, will report to Sitherwood as vice president and general manager, City Gas of Florida.
Three Atlanta Gas Light region managers will assume duties in the NUI franchise areas as AGL Resources seeks to unify and improve operational efficiencies across the company. Eddie V. Wood and Don Carter will assume responsibilities at Elizabethtown Gas, while Eduardo Noriega will take on duties at City Gas of Florida.
Beth Reese will become vice president, customer service, and Scott Carter is newly appointed as vice president, regulatory affairs. Jodi Gidley succeeds Sitherwood as vice president of gas operations and capacity planning. Patricia Keefe, who was vice president at Elizabethtown Gas, will join the AGL Resources regulatory affairs organization.
Other recent appointments at AGL Resources include Melanie Platt, who became senior vice president of human resources and chairman of the AGL Resources Foundation. In addition, Ralph Cleveland will serve as senior vice president, engineering and operations while Bryan Batson will become senior vice president, regulatory affairs and customer service.
Myra Coleman has been named executive director of corporate governance and securities counsel. John Ebert was named executive vice president of Pivotal Energy Development, and Dat T. Tran will become chief counsel for regulatory affairs.
NUI's shareholders overwhelmingly approved the AGL Resources acquisition on Oct. 21, 2004. On Nov. 15, AGL Resources made a public offering of 11,044,000 shares of its common stock. The net proceeds from the offering of approximately $332 million will be used to purchase the outstanding capital stock of NUI and to fund AGL Resources' recently completed purchase of Louisiana-based Jefferson Island Storage & Hub LLC. The remaining net proceeds will be used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes.
