<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>APRIL 15, 2013 Hampton, New Hampshire &#150; </B>Unitil Corporation (NYSE:UTL) (<U>www.unitil.com</U>) announced today that its New Hampshire local
natural gas distribution utility filed a rate case requesting approval to change its natural gas distribution base rates with the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Unitil has requested an increase of $5.2 million in base revenue, or an increase of approximately 9.4 percent over current operating revenue. This filing is subject to review by the New Hampshire Public
Utilities Commission, and includes a request for temporary rates effective July&nbsp;1, 2013. A final order on the filing is expected in mid-2014. If approved, the proposed filing would allow the recovery of costs associated with operational and
safety-related improvements and upgrades Unitil is making to its gas distribution system in New Hampshire over the next several years. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;Currently, natural gas is approximately half the cost of oil, and our proposed rate case will not appreciably impact the cost advantage our
customers enjoy,&#148; Unitil Chief Financial Officer Mark Collin said. &#147;This rate case will provide an opportunity to bring revenues in line with current operating expenses and rate base, allowing us to continue to improve and expand Unitil
gas distribution system in New Hampshire to meet the state&#146;s growing demand for natural gas.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>About Unitil Corporation
