Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 27, 2018, Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule 1 thereto (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 3,100,000 shares of its common stock, $1.00 par value per share (“common stock”), at a public offering price of $75.50 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 465,000 shares of common stock, which the Underwriters exercised in full on November 28, 2018. The common stock was offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated November 27, 2018, and a base prospectus, dated December 13, 2017, relating to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222047). The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund part of the purchase price of its previously announced acquisition of an 80% interest in Linetec Services, LLC, which closed on November 30, 2018.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary of the Underwriting Agreement set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 1.1.
