Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 25, 2010, UIL Holdings Corporation (the Company) disclosed the information contained in
the slides attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which include information with respect to the Purchase
Agreement by and between Iberdrola USA, Inc. (f/k/a Energy East Corporation) and the Company
relating to the sale to the Company of the stock of (i) Connecticut Energy Corporation, the owner
of The Southern Connecticut Gas Company, (ii) CTG Resources, Inc., the owner of Connecticut
Natural Gas Corporation, and (iii) Berkshire Energy Resources, the owner of The Berkshire Gas
Company.
Certain statements contained in Exhibit 99.1 regarding matters that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995).
These include statements regarding managements intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or
forecasts for the future, including, without limitation, the Companys expectations with respect to
the benefits, costs and other anticipated financial impacts of the proposed transaction; future
financial and operating results of the Company; the Companys plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions with respect to future operations and services; approval of the proposed transaction by
governmental regulatory authorities; the availability of financing; the satisfaction of the
closing conditions to the proposed transaction; and the timing of the completion of the proposed
transaction. Such forward-looking statements are based on the Companys expectations and involve
risks and uncertainties; consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or
implied in the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: general
economic conditions, conditions in the debt and equity markets, legislative and regulatory changes,
changes in demand for electricity and other products and services, changes in financial markets,
unanticipated weather conditions, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and
other economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting the operations,
timing, markets, products, services, and prices of the Company and its subsidiaries. Examples of
such risks and uncertainties specific to the transaction include, but are not limited to: the
possibility that the proposed transaction is delayed or does not close, including due to the
failure to receive required regulatory approvals, the taking of governmental action (including the
passage of legislation) to block the transaction, or the failure of other closing conditions; the
possibility that the expected benefits will not be realized, or will not be realized within the
expected time period; and the ability to issue equity and debt securities upon terms and conditions
that the Company believes are appropriate. The foregoing and other factors are discussed and
should be reviewed in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other subsequent
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements included in
Exhibit 99.1 speak only as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or
update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances.
The Company is furnishing the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in Exhibit 99.1 to
comply with Regulation FD. Such information, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed filed
for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The
information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed
incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act regardless of any general
incorporation language in such filing.
