Item 8.01                       Other Events
 
On March 24, 2010, AGL Resources Inc. announced it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its AGL Networks dark-fiber telecommunications business to Colorado-based Zayo Group, LLC.  Subsequently, on March 25, 2010, Zayo posted on its website (www.zayo.com) a Letter of Notice, in the form of a Current Report on Form 8-K, Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, and disclosed Zayo will acquire 100 percent of the ownership interest of AGL Networks from AGL Resources for a purchase price of $71.5 million, subject to certain adjustments in connection with closing.  AGL Resources determined that the definitive agreement between AGL Resources and Zayo is not a material definitive agreement for AGL Resources; however, the purchase price is disclosed herewith for consistency with the subsequent disclosure made by Zayo and to inform our analysts, investors, regulators, the media and others.

The actual press release dated March 24, 2010 announcing the definitive agreement reached between AGL Resources and Zayo as published is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
