in our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws may delay or make more difficult unsolicited acquisitions or changes of control of Unitil. We believe that such provisions will enable us to develop our business in a manner that will foster our long-term
growth without disruption caused by the threat of a takeover not deemed by our Board of Directors to be in the best interest of Unitil and our shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The provision in our Articles of Incorporation relating to classification of the Board could have the effect of making it difficult and time-consuming to change majority control of the Board. Such a change in control
could take up to two annual meetings of shareholders to effect. As a result, this provision could perhaps limit the vulnerability of Unitil to an unsolicited proposal to acquire Unitil or its assets. Takeovers which are proposed and effected without
prior consultation and negotiation with management are not necessarily detrimental to a company and its shareholders. The difficulties, if any, which may exist in effecting a surprise change in control of Unitil&#146;s Board of Directors could
benefit Unitil by protecting the Board&#146;s ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited takeover proposal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Our Articles of Incorporation provide that shares of common stock when duly authorized may be issued from time to time for such consideration as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Under the laws of the State of New Hampshire and our
Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, we can issue additional shares of common stock without further approval of our shareholders; however, the New York Stock Exchange requires that we obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of common
stock in excess of 20% of the amount outstanding prior to the issuance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our By-Laws require advance notice for annual and special
meetings, which notices are always required to state the purposes for which the meetings are called. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a public utility holding
company under the laws of the State of New Hampshire. Section&nbsp;374:33 of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes provides that no public utility or public utility holding company may directly or indirectly acquire more than 10 percent of the stocks
or bonds of another public utility holding company incorporated or doing business in the State of New Hampshire, without the approval of the Public Utilities Commission of New Hampshire. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
