Item 1. Change in Control of Registrant
Vectren Corporation (Vectren) is an Indiana corporation
organized on June 10, 1999 solely for the purpose of
effecting the merger of Indiana Energy, Inc. (Indiana
Energy) and SIGCORP, Inc. (SIGCORP) with and into Vectren
and carrying on the combined business of Indiana Energy and
SIGCORP. Following the merger of Indiana Energy and SIGCORP
into Vectren, all the outstanding common shares of the
direct subsidiaries of Indiana Energy and SIGCORP will
be owned by Vectren and former holders of Indiana Energy and
SIGCORP common shares will own all of the outstanding
Vectren common shares.
On March 31, 2000, Indiana Energy and SIGCORP were merged
with and into Vectren. Vectren, as the successor to Indiana
Energy, is now the parent of Indiana Gas Company, Inc. (Indiana
Gas). Vectren now owns all of the outstanding common shares
of Indiana Gas. Indiana Gas's outstanding long-term debt of
$211,849,000 at December 31, 1999 is unaffected by the
merger.
Indiana Gas is an operating public utility. Indiana Gas
provides gas utility service in central and southern
Indiana. In 1999 Indiana Gas supplied gas to approximately
500,000 residential, small commercial and contract (large
commercial and industrial) customers in 311 communities in
49 of 92 counties in the state of Indiana. Its service area
has a population of approximately 2 million and contains
diversified manufacturing and agricultural related
enterprises. The principal industries served include
pharmaceuticals, automotive parts and accessories, feed,
flour and grain processing, metal casting, aluminum
products, gypsum products, electrical equipment, metal
specialties and glass.
The largest communities served include Muncie, Anderson,
Lafayette - West Lafayette, Bloomington, Terre Haute,
Marion, New Albany, Columbus, Jeffersonville, New Castle and
Richmond. While Indiana Gas does not provide utility
services in Indianapolis, it does serve the counties and
communities which border that city.
Item 8. Change in Fiscal Year
On March 31, 2000 Indiana Gas determined to change its
fiscal year to the twelve months ended December 31. Indiana
Gas's former fiscal year was the twelve months ended
September 30. The transition period of October 1, 1999 to
December 31, 1999 will be filed on an amended Form 10-K on
or before May 15, 2000.
