Value Creation Through Fair Returns

Strategic Initiatives

MLP Structure

üSUG currently intends to create an MLP by the end of 3Q2007 with Southwest Gas Storage assets

Optimize Corporate Structure to Create Value

Investment Grade Focus

üPreservation of investment grade ratings is important for:

•Lower financing costs while accessing capital markets

•Rate making and reduced regulatory scrutiny

üSUG must balance the maintenance of investment grade credit ratings with all strategic options

•Share repurchase

•Increased dividends

•Debt repayment

üStandard & Poor’s (BBB-), January 19, 2007:

“[T]he current rating does not leave any room for leveraging transactions. Any efforts to appease [shareholder] discontent to the detriment of bondholders could trigger an adverse rating action.”
