ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On March 3, 2017, the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (PSC of DC) issued an Order approving an overall increase in rates for Washington Gas of $8.5 million. This increase is based on a hypothetical 55.7% equity component of the Washington Gas' capital structure and an overall return of 7.57%, which retained the current return on equity of 9.25%. Washington Gas had requested an increase of $17.3 million, assuming a 57.1% equity component and a 10.25% return on equity. Any appeal of the Order must be filed on or before April 3, 2017. Washington Gas is currently considering its options in this matter.
