The Application/Declaration in this File, as amended, is hereby amended and
restated as follows:
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION
Item 1 is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraph after the fourth
full paragraph of Item 1 (page 1):
"Indiana Gas Company, Inc. is a holding company under the 1935 Act and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Indiana Energy. It has claimed an
exemption from all provisions of the 1935 Act (except for Section
9(a)(2) thereof) pursuant to Rule 2 under the 1935 Act. See Indiana Gas
Form U-3A-2, "Statement by Holding Company Claiming Exemption Under
Rule U-2 from the Provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1935," dated February 25, 1999, attached hereto as Exhibit G-8."
Item 1 is hereby further amended by restating, in its entirety, the third full
paragraph of Section B(1)(iii) (page 12) to read as follows:
"Approval of the Merger by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast
by all holders of SIGCORP Common Stock and by a majority of all votes
entitled to be cast by all holders of Indiana Energy Common Stock is a
condition precedent to the consummation of the Merger. The Merger was
voted upon for approval by SIGCORP shareholders at a meeting held on
December 17, 1999, and by Indiana Energy shareholders at a meeting held
on December 17, 1999. Proxies for such meetings were solicited pursuant
to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934
Act"). The joint proxy statement for the shareholders meeting is
included in the Registration Statement on form S-4 filed by Vectren
with the Commission on November 12, 1999, and amended on November 15,
1999, for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "1933 Act") the shares of Vectren Common Stock to be issued in the
Merger. The Registration Statement was declared effective on November
15, 1999. The Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus are included as Exhibits C-1 and C-2 to this
Application/Declaration. Approximately 77 percent of SIGCORP's
outstanding shares were represented at the SIGCORP meeting with 96
percent voting in favor of the Merger. Approximately 76 percent of
Indiana Energy's outstanding shares were represented at the Indiana
Energy meeting with more than 95 percent voting in favor of the
Merger."
Item 1 is hereby further amended by adding the following to the end of the
second paragraph of Section C (page 33):
"As a result of settlement discussions with respect to that proceeding,
on February 17, the IURC was advised that the Indiana Office of the
Utility Consumer Counselor, SIGCORP, Southern Indiana Gas and Electric
Company, Indiana Energy, and Indiana Gas Company, Inc. had reached an
agreement-in-principle regarding the IURC's review of the affects of
the Merger on the utilities and their customers. The two intervenors to
the proceeding, a group of 3 industrial customers and a citizens action
group, have both been given notice of this agreement-in-principle. They
must indicate to the IURC and the other parties whether they intend to
oppose the agreement by March 1, 2000. If the intervenors oppose the
agreement then the IURC has established a hearing in April to consider
evidence supporting and opposing the agreement. However, because IURC
authorization is not
<PAGE> 3
required, it is the intent of SIGCORP and Indiana Energy to consummate
the Merger at the end of March 2000 regardless of whether or not the
agreement has been approved."
