EffectiveAugust 16, 2006, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) amended its articles of incorporation to reduce, from 6,649 to 5,049, the number of authorized shares of SCE&G’s Cumulative Preferred Stock ($50 par value) 4.50% Series, (the “4.50% Series”), to reduce from 7,878 to 5,878 the number of authorized shares of SCE&G’s Cumulative Preferred Stock ($50 par value) 4.60% (A) Series (the “4.60% (A) Series”) and to reduce, from $296,033,311.50 to $295,853,311.50, SCE&G’s stated capital. The articles of amendment filed on August 16, 2006 (the “Prior Articles of Amendment”) were adopted to reflect SCE&G’s acquisition of 1,600 shares of the 4.50% Series and 2,000 shares of the 4.60% (A) Series that, pursuant to SCE&G’s articles of incorporation, may not be reissued.

On September 6, 2006 SCE&G filed articles of correction to the Prior Articles of Amendment to make the following corrections:

·   In Item 4(a), SCE&G’s stated capital should total $295,952,911.50 (not $295,853,311.50 as previously stated in the Prior Articles of Amendment).

·   In Item 4(b), the number of shares of the 4.50% Series and the 4.60% (A) Series should be reduced by 1,608 and zero (0) shares, respectively (not 1,600 and 2,000, respectively, as previously stated in the Prior Articles of Amendment).

·   In Item 4(c), the total number of shares which SCE&G has authority to issue should be 53,592,405 (not 53,590,412 as previously stated in the Prior Articles of Amendment), including 5,041 shares of the 4.50% Series and 7,878 shares of the 4.60% (A) Series (not 5,049 and 5,878, respectively, as previously stated in the Prior Articles of Amendment).

South Carolina law provides that articles of correction are effective on the effective date of the document they correct except as to persons relying on the uncorrected document and adversely affected by the correction. As to those persons, articles of correction are effective when filed.
