Unitil (UTL) Announces Exercise of 300K Share Over-Allotment Option by Underwriters
Unitil Corporation (NYSE: UTL) today announced that its underwriters exercised an over-allotment option to purchase an additional 300,000 shares of its common stock. Unitil granted the option to the underwriters in connection with its previously announced public offering of 2,400,000 shares, which priced on May 21, 2009 at a public offering price of $20.00 per share and closed on May 27, 2009. The net proceeds of approximately $51.2 million (after payment of the underwriting discount, but excluding estimated offering expenses) from this public offering, including the over-allotment, were used (i) to repay the remaining portion outstanding under the bridge credit facility (approximately $39.1 million) that Unitil used to finance the acquisitions of Northern Utilities, Inc. and Granite State Gas Transmission, Inc., which closed on December 1, 2008, and the related costs and expenses and (ii) for other general corporate purposes.
