Item 5.  Other Events

On April 23, 2002, Vectren Corporation (Vectren), the parent company of Vectren
Utility Holdings, Inc, along with Citizens Gas & Coke Utility (Citizens), the
Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC), the Citizens Action
Coalition (CAC), and a group of industrial customers filed an agreement in
principle at the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (Commission). The
agreement sets forth the basic framework for an anticipated settlement of
numerous pending issues related to ProLiance Energy, LLC (ProLiance). The
parties' final agreement, if approved by the Commission, would bring closure to
over six years of litigation related to Citizens' and Vectren's receipt of gas
supply services from ProLiance. The tentative settlement is outlined in the
press release attached as Exhibit 99-1 to this filing.

Proliance is a jointly-owned unconsolidated energy marketing affiliate of
Vectren and Citizens.
