release regarding the downgrade of credit ratings on various debt instruments
issued by certain of Vectren Corporation's (Vectren) wholly owned subsidiaries,

Company and Indiana Gas Company, Inc. Moody's also confirmed the existing

stable outlook for all ratings. A copy of the press release is attached.

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is hereby filing cautionary

Gas Company, Inc. and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, to differ
materially from those projected in forward-looking statements of the Company and
its subsidiaries made by, or on behalf of, the Company and its subsidiaries.
