Item
2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On
August
4, 2005, Vectren Capital, Corp. (“Vectren Capital”), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Vectren Corporation, accepted an offer from certain institutional buyers
in
the private placement market to purchase $125 million of Vectren Capital’s
Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Notes”). Subject to the satisfaction of customary
closing conditions, the Notes will be issued in three series on or about
December 20, 2005. One series of the Notes in the amount of $25 million will
bear interest from the issuance date at an annual rate of 4.99% and will be
scheduled to mature in December 2010; the second series of the Notes in the
amount of $25 million will bear interest from the issuance data at an annual
rate of 5.13% and will be scheduled to mature in December 2012; and the third
series of the Notes in the amount of $75 million will bear interest from the
issuance date at an annual rate of 5.31% and will be scheduled to mature in
December 2015. The Notes also will be redeemable at the option of Vectren
Capital at the designated “make-whole” redemption prices. The Notes will be
issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement. Vectren Capital intends to use
the
proceeds from the Notes to refinance existing senior unsecured notes and for
general corporate purposes.
