Equity Forward Transaction

During 2012, PHI entered into an equity forward transaction in connection with a public offering of PHI common stock. Pursuant to the terms of this transaction, a forward counterparty borrowed 17,922,077 shares of PHI’s common stock from third parties and sold them to a group of underwriters for $19.25 per share, less an underwriting discount equal to $0.67375 per share. Under the terms of the equity forward transaction, upon physical settlement thereof, PHI was required to issue and deliver the shares of PHI common stock to the forward counterparty at the then applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price was initially determined to be $18.57625 per share at the time the equity forward transaction was entered into and was subject to reduction from time to time in accordance with the terms of the equity forward transaction. On February 27, 2013, PHI physically settled the equity forward at the then applicable forward sale price of $17.39. The proceeds of approximately $312 million were used to repay outstanding commercial paper, a portion of which had been issued in order to make capital contributions to the utilities, and for general corporate purposes.

Treasury Stock

Premium on stock and other capital contributions on PHI’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 includes approximately $2 million of treasury stock outstanding, representing 102,933 shares with a weighted-average price of $19.93. These shares were repurchased during the first quarter of 2013 to cover minimum withholding taxes of certain participants in PHI’s Long-Term Incentive Plan.
