Vectren Declares Dividend

Evansville, Ind. - Vectren Corporation (NYSE: VVC) announced the Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.005275 per share of common stock, per day, which reflects the dividend of $0.48 per share as approved by the Board in November 2018, divided by 91 which represents the number of days between November 15, 2018, the last shareholder record date, and the next regular shareholder record date of February 14, 2019. As previously announced, Vectren entered into a definitive merger agreement with CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (CenterPoint), pursuant to which Vectren will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CenterPoint (the Merger).

In the event that the Effective Time occurs before February 14, 2019, the dividend per common share will reflect the actual number of days from the last shareholder record date of November 15, 2018, to the Effective Time multiplied by $0.005275.
