Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 27, 2007, the Board of Directors of CH Energy Group extended and amended
the Common Stock Repurchase Program (the "Program") of the Company, which
Program was originally authorized on July 25, 2002. As amended, the Program
authorizes the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares (excluding shares purchased
before July 31, 2007) or approximately 13% of the Company's outstanding common
stock, from time to time, during the next five years, i.e., through July 31,
2012.
The extended and amended Program is effective as of July 31, 2007. The Program
does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and the
Program may be modified, suspended, renewed or terminated at any time without
notice. The extent to which the Company repurchases any of its common stock and
the timing of any such repurchases will depend upon various factors, including
market conditions, share price, share availability, and other factors, and will
be at the discretion of the Company.
