AGL RESOURCES NAMES NEW CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, October 27, 1999 -- AGL Resources Inc. (NYSE: ATG) today
announced the appointment of Donald P. Weinstein as senior vice president and
chief financial officer.
Weinstein comes to AGL Resources from Citizens Utilities Company, where he
served as vice president, planning and development. He held a number of
positions at Citizens Utilities in the areas of strategic development, mergers
and acquisitions, financial planning and analysis, and tax accounting. He has
also worked at the regional public accounting firm of Desanto, Bertoline &
Company, where he specialized in audit services to the banking and real estate
industries.
"Don's strong background in strategy, financial planning and accounting,
coupled with his experience with merger and acquisition activities, will be a
tremendous asset to AGL Resources as we continue our transition in the
competitive marketplace," said Walter M. Higgins, AGL Resources' chairman and
chief executive officer. "This is an affirmative step in realizing our
strategic direction to grow and gain scale."
Weinstein led the merger and acquisition activities while at Citizens
Utilities. Citizens Utilities is a telecommunications company with diversified
utility holdings in electric distribution, natural gas distribution and water
and wastewater treatment.
At AGL Resources, Weinstein will have functional accountability for
investor relations, corporate secretary, financial systems, treasury, strategic
planning, budgeting, financial planning and analysis, and strategic
development/merger and acquisitions. He joins AGL Resources on November 1.

Weinstein replaces J. Michael Riley, who is leaving AGL Resources after 26
years to pursue new opportunities. "I'd like to personally thank Mike for his
dedication and capable work on behalf of the company and his help during the
past year," said Higgins. "I wish him success as he moves forward," he said.
AGL Resources Inc. is a regional energy holding company with operations in
the Southeast. Atlanta Gas Light Company, the largest natural gas distributor in
the Southeast and the company's primary subsidiary, provides delivery service
for nearly 1.5 million customers in Georgia and, through Chattanooga Gas
Company, in southern Tennessee. Although natural gas distribution is AGL
Resources' core business, it also is engaged in other energy-related businesses,
including retail energy marketing, customer care services for energy marketers
and wholesale and retail propane sales.
