THE YORK WATER COMPANY
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 24, 2009, The York Water Company (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”), entered in to an Underwriting Agreement with Boenning & Scattergood, Inc. and J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, LLC as underwriters, which provides for the issuance and sale by the Company (the “Offering”) and the purchase by the underwriters of 950,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of our common stock at $14.00 per share. We have also granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to 142,500 additional shares of our common stock (collectively with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”), to cover over-allotments, if any. The sale of the Firm Shares will result in net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $12,461,411. The Shares being offered by the Company in this Offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158837), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2009. The prospectus supplement describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2009. We expect the transaction to close on September 29, 2009. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report. A copy of the opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
In addition, on September 24, 2009, we issued a press release announcing the pricing of the public offering described above. The press release is being furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. The press release is not being filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company.
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that we believe to be reasonable as of today’s date. Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties concerning specific factors described in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other SEC filings. Such information contained herein represents our management’s best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available. We do not intend to update this information and disclaim any legal obligation to the contrary.
