 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers</B> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October 21, 2015, upon the recommendation of Unitil Corporation&#146;s
(&#147;registrant&#148;) Compensation Committee, the registrant&#146;s Board of Directors approved a new Employment Agreement (the &#147;Employment Agreement&#148;) between the registrant and Robert G. Schoenberger, its Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer. The registrant initially entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Schoenberger when he joined the registrant on November 1, 1997, and then again on November 1, 2000, November 1, 2003, November 1, 2006, November 1, 2009, and
November 1, 2012, which was amended on June 5, 2013. The Employment Agreement, which is effective as of November 1, 2015, is generally similar to Mr. Schoenberger&#146;s current employment agreement (as amended) except that (i) his employment will
continue through to October 31, 2018, (ii) the registrant will pay him an initial base salary of $614,168 per year, which is subject to annual review by the Board of Directors for discretionary periodic increases, and (iii) upon Mr.
Schoenberger&#146;s retirement, the registrant will remit on his behalf all applicable Medicare taxes due and payable on the then present value of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (&#147;SERP&#148;) benefits, as well as any Federal, State,
city, local or payroll taxes payable upon the Medicare tax payment. In addition, the Employment Agreement continues to generally provide that Mr. Schoenberger will participate in the registrant&#146;s Management Incentive Plan, SERP, other employee
benefit plans available to executives, and stock plans. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Employment Agreement also generally provides that the registrant may
terminate Mr. Schoenberger&#146;s employment for any reason. If Mr. Schoenberger&#146;s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, death, or disability, or if he terminates his employment for good reason, then the registrant
generally will pay him, in lump sum cash payments, (i) all accrued and unpaid salary, bonus and expense reimbursements, (ii) the present value of 24 monthly base salary payments, (iii) the present value of two annual bonus payments, and (iv) the
present value of the cost that the registrant would have incurred to provide group medical, dental and life insurance coverage to him and his eligible dependents for two years, grossed up for tax purposes. If Mr. Schoenberger&#146;s employment is
terminated for cause, death, or disability, or if he terminates his employment other than for good reason, then the registrant will have no further obligation to him under the Employment Agreement (except for accrued and unpaid salary, bonus and
expense reimbursement). The Employment Agreement protects the registrant&#146;s interests during and for 12 months following Mr. Schoenberger&#146;s termination by prohibiting him from competing with the registrant, from recruiting or soliciting the
registrant&#146;s officers or employees, and from diverting the registrant&#146;s customers to the registrant&#146;s competitors. It also prohibits Mr. Schoenberger from disclosing the registrant&#146;s confidential information following his
termination, subject to certain exceptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to summarize all of
the provisions of the Employment Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. </P>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i)&nbsp;it is determined that any payments or benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement upon a separation from service (as that term is used in
Section&nbsp;409A) constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section&nbsp;409A (after taking into account the exception for short-term deferrals set forth in Treasury Regulation &#167;1.409A-1(b)(4), the exception for separation pay due to an
involuntary separation set forth in Treasury Regulation &#167;1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), the exception for limited payments as set forth in Treasury Regulation &#167;1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(D) and/or any other applicable exception from Section&nbsp;409A) and
(ii)&nbsp;the Executive is a &#147;specified employee,&#148; as determined under the Company&#146;s policy for determining specified employees, on the date on which the termination of employment occurs, no such payments or benefits shall be provided
prior to the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive&#146;s termination of employment or, if the Executive dies during such six month period, on the first business day after the date of the Executive&#146;s
death. The first payment that can be made shall include the cumulative amount of any amounts that could not be paid during such six-month period. In addition, interest will accrue at the Federal short-term rate determined under Section&nbsp;1274(d)
of the Code (as in effect on the date of the separation from service or, if such date is not a business day, the first business day prior to such date) on all payments not paid to the Executive prior to the first business day after the sixth month
anniversary of termination of employment that otherwise would have been paid during such six-month period had this delay provision not applied to the Executive and shall be paid with the first payment after such six-month period. For all purposes
under this Agreement, references to termination of employment, employment termination or words of similar import shall be interpreted to mean &#147;separation from service,&#148; as that term is used in Section&nbsp;409A, and the Executive&#146;s
employment shall in no event be deemed to have terminated unless and until a separation from service shall have occurred for purposes of Section&nbsp;409A. </P>

Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration to be conducted in Hampton, New Hampshire under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, as the sole and exclusive remedy of either party, and judgment upon any such award rendered by the
