CASE NO. PUF940036 and THE COLUMBIA GAS SYSTEM, INC. For approval of intercompany financing for 1995 ORDER GRANTING AUTHORITY On November 29, 1994, Commonwealth Gas Services, Inc. ("Applicant" or "Commonwealth") and The Columbia Gas System, Inc. ("System") filed an application under Chapters 3 and 4 of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia requesting authority to enter into intercompany financing arrangements during 1995. Applicant has paid the requisite fee of $250. Commonwealth requests authority to enter into the following financing arrangements with System, its parent company, during the calendar year of 1995: 1) from time to time, to issue and sell, to System up to $26,000,000 of Common Stock; 2) to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $19,000,000 at any one time in short-term loans from the System and/or other affiliated companies through the Intrasystem Money Pool ("Money Pool"); and 3) to invest temporary excess funds, from time to time, in the Money Pool. The $19,000,000 of short-term debt is in excess of five percent of capitalization as defined in Section 56-65.1. 2 PAGE 2 Commonwealth proposes to issue and sell to System, from time to time, up to 520,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $50. Total proceeds from the common stock issuance(s) will not exceed $26,000,000. The proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock will be used to fund construction and to retire currently outstanding long- term debt which matures during 1995. Money Pool borrowings will be used to fund peak short-term requirements such as gas purchases and storage. THE COMMISSION, upon consideration of the application and having been advised by its Staff, is of the opinion and finds that approval of the above proposed financing will not be detrimental to the public interest. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED: 1) That Applicant is hereby authorized to: (a) issue and sell up to $26,000,000 in Common Stock to System; (b) borrow through the Money Pool from System and/or other affiliates in excess of five percent of capitalization up to an aggregate amount of $19,000,000; and (c) invest temporary excess funds in the Money Pool from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, all in the manner, under the terms and conditions, and for the purposes set forth in the application; 2) That Applicant shall account for all allocated fees associated with System's debtor-in-possession financing agreements such that administrative, commitment, structuring, and facility fees may be separately and individually discernible; 3) That approval of the application shall have no implications for ratemaking purposes; 4) That approval of the application shall not preclude the Commission from applying the 3 PAGE 3 provisions of Sections 56-78 and 56-80 of the Code of Virginia hereafter; 5) That the Commission reserves the right to examine the books and records of any affiliate, whether or not such affiliate is regulated by this Commission, in connection with the authority granted herein; 6) That within 30 days of its issuance, Applicant shall file, with the Division of Economics and Finance, a copy of the Securities and Exchange Commission Order authorizing financing transactions between Columbia and its affiliates as outlined in paragraph 9 of the application; 7) That Applicant shall file quarterly reports within 60 days of the end of each calendar quarter following the date of this Order, to include: (a) monthly schedules of Money Pool borrowings, segmented according to System notes and notes issued to other affiliates; (b) monthly schedules that separately reflect interest expenses and each type of allocated fee; (c) monthly schedules of System's borrowings under its Letter of Credit Agreement; and (d) a report detailing the issuance(s) of Common Stock, to include the number of shares and price per share, date of issuance, and use of the proceeds; 8) That Applicant shall file a final report of action on or before February 28, 1996, to include data for the fourth quarter of 1995 as prescribed in ordering paragraph 66 herein; and 9) That this matter shall be continued, subject to the continuing review, audit, and appropriate directive of the Commission. 4 PAGE 4 AN ATTESTED COPY hereof shall be sent to the Applicant, attention of Rodney W. Anderson, Attorney, Post Office Box 117, Columbus, Ohio 43216-0117; and to the Division of Economics and Finance of the Commission. /s/ William J.
