Name, State of organization, location, and nature of business of Claimant and every subsidiary thereof, other than any exempt wholesale generator (EWG) or foreign utility company in which Claimant directly or indirectly holds an interest. Vectren Corporation (Vectren or Claimant), an Indiana corporation, is an energy and applied technology holding company headquartered in Evansville, Indiana. Vectren was organized on June 10, 1999, solely for the purpose of effecting the merger of Indiana Energy, Inc. (Indiana Energy) and SIGCORP, Inc. (SIGCORP). On March 31, 2000, the merger of Indiana Energy with SIGCORP and into Vectren was consummated with a tax-free exchange of shares and has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 "Business Combinations." Vectren is a "holding company," as such term is defined by the Public Utility Holding Act of 1935 (the Act). Utility Group Operations Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc. (VUHI), an Indiana corporation, is a "subsidiary company" of Vectren and a "holding company" (as such terms are defined by the Act). VUHI is the intermediate holding company for Vectren's three operating public utilities: Indiana Gas Company, Inc.
