Item 5. Other Events
ITEM 4
The Securities and Exchange Commission will publish a new notice reflecting the previously revised terms of Xcel Energy’s offer. The notice will extend the earliest date by which the SEC could enter an order authorizing Xcel Energy to consummate the offer under the Public Utility Holding Company Act to May 7, 2002. As a result, Xcel Energy has extended the expiration of the offer to midnight, Eastern Daylight Time, on May 8, 2002. The other terms and conditions of the offer remain unchanged.
Although Xcel Energy believes its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include the satisfaction of all conditions to the exchange offer that cannot be waived, including the approval of the SEC under the Public Utility Holding Company Act, and the satisfaction or waiver of conditions to the exchange offer that may be waived. Some of the conditions to the exchange offer include the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the tender by the public stockholders of a minimum number of their shares and the absence of an injunction or litigation concerning the exchange offer. In light of these uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the exchange offer will be completed.
