In February 2014, Virginia Power provided irrevocable notice to redeem the stock. In March 2014, the stock was redeemed at the applicable price per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends at a rate reset in March 2011 of 6.12%. Dividends ceased accumulating on the stock upon payment of the redemption price, thus the rate was not reset in March 2014.
