Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.

A "safe harbor" for forwarding-looking statements is provided by
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act
of 1995).  The Reform Act of 1995 was adopted to encourage such
forward-looking statements without the threat of litigation,
provided those statements are identified as forward-looking and
are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying
important factors that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the statement.  Forwardlooking
statements have been and will be made in written documents and
oral presentations of Vectren Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Such statements are based on management's beliefs, as well as
assumptions made by and information currently available to
management.  When used in Vectren Corporation and its
subsidiaries' documents or oral presentations, the words
"believe," "anticipate," "endeavor," "estimate," "expect,"
"objective," "projection,"
"forecast," "goal," and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.  In addition to any
assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in
connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that
could cause Vectren Corporation and its subsidiaries' actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated in any
forward-looking statements included, among others, the following:
