Section 8  -Other Events

Item 8.01  Other Events.

     Public Service Company of New Hampshire (“PSNH”) intends to seek to amend and restate its First Mortgage Indenture, dated as of August 15, 1978 (the “PSNH Indenture”), substantially in its entirety (the “Restatement”). To become effective under the PSNH Indenture, most of the changes in the Restatement require the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all bonds then outstanding under the PSNH Indenture. These changes will become effective as soon as PSNH receives the required majority consent. The remaining changes require the consent of the holders of 100% in principal amount of all bonds then outstanding under the PSNH Indenture. As a result, these remaining changes will not become effective until PSNH receives the required unanimous consent. PSNH has already obtained the required approvals for the Restatement from the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission.

     At this time, PSNH does not plan to hold a bondholder meeting to seek consent of existing bondholders to the Restatement. PSNH intends to include the Restatement as an exhibit to future indentures supplemental to the PSNH Indenture, and each purchaser of bonds issued under any such supplemental indenture, solely by acquiring the bonds, will have consented, and will be deemed to have consented, without the need for any further action or consent by such holder, to the Restatement.

     A copy of the proposed form of PSNH Indenture, giving effect to the Restatement, is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.
