Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective October 31, 2011, Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company (SIGECO) d/b/a Vectren Power Supply, Inc. (“Vectren Power”) entered into amendments to its coal supply agreements with Vectren Fuels, Inc. (“Fuels”), for its Warrick Unit 4, F.B. Culley and A.B. Brown generating plants, which amendments, among other things, fix the per ton price of coal for the remaining term of these contracts.  These prices are market based and were arrived at as the result of a competitive bidding process conducted by Vectren Power pursuant to a request for coal supply proposals.  In addition, the amendment to the Warrick Unit 4 agreement redacts the amount of the previously agreed-upon handling fee that is waived in the amendment.  These amounts have been redacted from the amendments pursuant to a request for confidential treatment as noted below.  In the amendment to the A.B. Brown Coal Supply Agreement (the “Brown Agreement”), the original commitment to purchase 1,000,000 tons has been revised and SIGECO has agreed to purchase 600,000 tons of coal from Fuels in 2013 and 2014 subject to 15% volume optionality.  In the amendment to the F.B. Culley Coal Supply Agreement (the “Culley Agreement”), the original commitment to purchase 1,100,000 tons has been revised and SIGECO has agreed to purchase 1,000,000 tons of coal from Fuels in 2013, 2014 and 2015, subject to 15% volume optionality.  Under the amendments to the Brown Agreement and Culley Agreement, SIGECO has agreed to purchase its incremental supply needs for 2012 from Fuels at a set price without a minimum volume requirement.  In the amendment to the Warrick Unit 4 Coal Supply Agreement, the original commitment to purchase 480,000 tons has been maintained in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Copies of the amendments are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3. In 2012, SIGECO will also purchase 348,500 tons of coal under an additional existing contract with Fuels.
