DOMINION COMPLETES MERGER OF CNG SUBSIDIARY

INTO HOLDING COMPANY

RICHMOND, Va. – Dominion (NYSE:D) announced today that it has completed the merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, Consolidated Natural Gas Company, into the parent holding company, Dominion Resources, Inc., as part of a move to streamline its corporate structure.

The merger was effective at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, June 30. As a result of the merger, Dominion has assumed all obligations related to CNG indebtedness as well as any other financial obligations such as guarantees. First-tier CNG subsidiaries have become first-tier Dominion subsidiaries instead of second-tier subsidiaries.

Dominion is one of the nation’s largest producers of energy, with a portfolio of more than 26,500 megawatts of generation and 7,800 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline.
