ITEM 8.01 | OTHER EVENTS |
On February 26, 2016, WGL Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiary, WGL Midstream, Inc. (“WGL Midstream”), acquired a 35% equity interest in an entity that owns and operates certain assets known as the Stonewall Gas Gathering System (the “Stonewall System”). WGL Midstream invested $89 million pursuant to an option that WGL Midstream previously acquired. The Stonewall System has the capacity to gather up to 1.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Marcellus production region in West Virginia, and connects with an interstate pipeline system that serves markets in the mid-Atlantic region. WGL Midstream’s ownership interest is expected to decrease to 30% during fiscal year 2016, as certain other participants are expected to exercise their rights to invest in the project.
A copy of WGL Holdings’ news release, dated February 29, 2016, is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
