Other Events.
 
On December 16, 2014, Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) announced that it has agreed to purchase Carolina Gas Transmission (CGT) from SCANA Corporation for approximately $492.9 million.  CGT owns and operates nearly 1,500 miles of FERC-regulated interstate natural gas pipeline in South Carolina and southeastern Georgia. Dominion plans to close on the acquisition in January 2015.

Subject to board approvals by Dominion and Dominion Midstream Partners, LP (Dominion Midstream), Dominion expects to contribute CGT into Dominion Midstream for a combination of debt and units by mid-year 2015.  Dominion, through certain of its subsidiaries, currently owns an approximate 68.5 percent limited partner interest in Dominion Midstream, in addition to its general partner, and all associated incentive distribution rights.
