Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 11, 2014, Vectren Corporation (“Vectren” or the Company) announced that the required review waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR”) relating to the sale of its coal business expired at midnight on Wednesday, August 6, 2014. The HSR filing was made in connection with Vectren’s previously announced sale of its wholly owned coal mining subsidiary, Vectren Fuels, to Sunrise Coal, LLC, an Indiana-based wholly owned subsidiary of Hallador Energy Company. This completes another required step in the process to close the transaction. The transaction is proceeding as planned, with closing expected in the third quarter of 2014. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is hereby attaching cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results of the Company and its subsidiaries 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. These cautionary statements are attached as Exhibit 99.2.
