ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 24, 2008, Southern Union Company (the “Company”) senior management is conducting investor meetings as part of the Bank of America 2008 Utilities Mini Conference in Chicago, Illinois. The presentation materials for the investor meetings focus on Company overview, strategic initiatives, organic growth and value creation. In particular, the presentation contains information with respect to previously issued 2008 earnings guidance, projected pro forma EBITDA by business segment and projected capital expenditures by segment with the expenditures broken out by growth and maintenance capital.

The Company is furnishing the presentation as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and has also made the presentation materials available on its website at www.sug.com. The presentation materials attached hereto under Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

In the attached presentation, the Company uses pro forma earnings before interest and taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a non-GAAP financial measure, as the performance measure to evaluate segment performance. As defined in Regulation G, "Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes (includes) amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding (including) amounts, that are included (excluded) in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The Company defines EBITDA as net earnings (loss) available for common shareholders, adjusted for: (i) items that do not impact earnings (loss) from continuing operations, such as extraordinary items, discontinued operations and the impact of changes in accounting principles; (ii) income taxes; (iii) interest; (iv) depreciation and amortization and (v) dividends on preferred stock. EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. Additionally, EBITDA should be considered in conjunction with net earnings and other performance measures such as operating income or operating cash flow.
