APRIL&nbsp;29, 2016 &#151;</B> Unitil Corporation (NYSE: UTL) <U>(www.unitil.com)</U> announced today that its New Hampshire electric distribution utility, Unitil Energy Systems, Inc., (&#147;Unitil Energy&#148;) filed a base rate case with the New
Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (&#147;Commission&#148;) requesting approval to change distribution rates for all customers. This filing will be subject to comprehensive review by the Commission in a base rate case proceeding that may last up
to a year. The Company&#146;s last base rate case was filed six years ago. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unitil Energy requested an electric base rate increase of $6.26 million, or
3.6 percent, over total annual revenue at present rates. The proposed rates are designed to provide revenues in support of the company&#146;s growing electric distribution system investments and operations. The filing includes a proposed rate plan
and other associated rate design and tariff changes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the rates are approved as filed, the typical residential electric customer using an average of
600 kWh a month would see an increase of $5.27 per month, or 5 percent. Impacts on other individual customers will vary depending upon rate class and usage characteristics. </P>
