Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On October 6, 2000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May
8, 2000, as amended by the First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated as
of October 1, 2000, among AGL Resources Inc. (the "Company"), Consolidated
Natural Gas Company ("CNG"), Virginia Natural Gas, Inc. ("VNG") and Dominion
Resources, Inc. ("Dominion"), the Company acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of VNG, a gas public utility and wholly-owned subsidiary of CNG (and
indirect subsidiary of Dominion). The purchase price of approximately $533
million, paid in cash, was determined through arms-length negotiations between
the parties, and included approximately $4.8 million in working capital.
Following the purchase, VNG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior
to the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company had no material
relationship with CNG, VNG or Dominion.

     The Company financed the acquisition through the offer and sale of
commercial paper in the form of short-term promissory notes (the "Notes") by AGL
Capital Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned financing subsidiary
of the Company. The Notes are guaranteed by the Company with respect to
principal and interest.

     The transaction was conditioned, among other things, upon approvals from
the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1935, which approvals were received prior to the closing of the transaction.
