Item 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
    As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K of AGL Resources Inc. (the “Company”) filed on January 11, 2013 (the “Prior Report”), the Company issued a press release on January 10, 2013 announcing that it expects its 2012 earnings results to be negatively impacted by mark-to-market accounting hedge losses in its wholesale services segment and warmer than normal weather in the distribution operations and retail operations segments.  The Company announced that it currently expects preliminary adjusted diluted earnings per share of approximately $2.45 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
 
    Adjusted earnings per share excludes expenses related to the Company’s merger with Nicor Inc. (“Nicor”) and expense adjustments related to the former performance-based rate (“PBR”) plan for natural gas costs of the Company’s subsidiary, Northern Illinois Gas Company, doing business as Nicor Gas Company (“Nicor Gas”). Adjusted earnings per share is not a financial measure presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  As the Company does not routinely engage in transactions of the magnitude of its merger with Nicor, and consequently does not regularly incur transaction and integration-related expenses of correlative size, and because of the non-recurring nature of any liability arising from a resolution of the Nicor Gas PBR case, the Company believes presenting earnings per share excluding these expenses provides investors with an additional measure of the Company’s core operating performance.
 
    A reconciliation of the Company’s expected adjusted earnings per share for 2012 of $2.45 to its expected earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2.
   
    This Amendment No. 1 to the Prior Report amends and supplements the Prior Report.

    The information under this Item, 2.02, as well as Exhibit 99.2 referenced herein, shall not be deemed “filed”  for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless the Company expressly so incorporates such information by reference.
