Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 12, 2014, UNS Energy issued a press release related to the status of its proposed merger with Fortis Inc. (Fortis) described in Item 8.01. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported, on January 10, 2014, UNS Energy and Fortis filed an application with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) requesting that the ACC approve a proposed merger (Merger) in which UNS Energy would become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortis.
Also as previously reported, on May 16, 2014, UNS Energy, Fortis, ACC Staff, the Residential Utility Consumer Office and other parties to the Merger proceedings entered into a settlement (Settlement) in which the parties agreed that the Merger is in the public interest and recommended approval of the Merger by the ACC, subject to certain conditions. On July 29, 2014, the ACC administrative law judge assigned to the Merger proceeding issued a recommended opinion and order (ROO) that recommended the ACC approve the Merger as conditioned by the Settlement.
On August 12, 2014, the ACC issued a final written order that approved the Merger by adopting the ROO. As a result, all conditions precedent to completing the Merger have been fulfilled other than certain customary closing conditions which, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the closing date. UNS Energy expects to close the Merger before the end of August 2014.
