As previously reported, on December 11, 2013, UNS Energy Corporation (UNS Energy) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which a subsidiary of Fortis Inc. (Fortis) would merge into UNS Energy (Merger) and UNS Energy would become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortis.
On June 13, 2014, the United States Federal Trade Commission granted UNS Energy's request for early termination of the waiting period with respect to the proposed acquisition by Fortis under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
The Merger was approved by UNS Energy shareholders on March 26, 2014 and by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on April 2, 2014. On May 20, 2014, the United States Department of the Treasury informed UNS Energy that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States completed its review of the Merger.
Completion of the Merger remains subject to the approval of the Arizona Corporation Commission and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
UNS Energy expects the Merger to close by the end of 2014.
