(&#147;Laclede&#148;) to assume Laclede&#146;s rights to purchase the assets of New England Gas Company (&#147;New England Gas&#148;) from an affiliate of Southern Union Company. New England Gas is a natural gas distribution utility serving over

attractive utility operations in the United States particularly in supportive regulatory environments such as Massachusetts.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">New

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain statements included in this news release contain information that is forward-looking within the meaning of certain securities laws, including information and statements regarding prospective
results of operations, financial position or cash flows. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. APUC cautions that although it
is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk
factors include those set out in the management&#146;s discussion and analysis section of APUC&#146;s most recent annual report and quarterly report, and APUC&#146;s Annual Information Form. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on
these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, APUC undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information to reflect new information, subsequent or
otherwise. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">SOURCE: Algonquin Power&nbsp;&amp; Utilities Corp. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
