Dominion Announces Early Results of Cash Tender Offer

RICHMOND, Va., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Resources, Inc. (NYSE: D), today announced the early results of its previously announced tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase up to $200,000,000 maximum aggregate principal amount (subject to increase by Dominion, the "Tender Cap") of the following series of notes issued by Dominion:

• 2006 Series A Enhanced Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066 (the "Series A Notes"); and
• 2006 Series B Enhanced Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066 (the "Series B Notes" and, together with the Series A Notes, the "Notes").

The Tender Offer is described in the offer to purchase dated July 5, 2016 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the "Offer Documents"), previously sent to holders of the Notes.

According to information received from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Tender Offer (the "Information and Tender Agent"), as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 18, 2016 (the "Early Tender Time"), Dominion had received valid tenders of Notes as outlined in the table below.

As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Full Tender Offer Consideration, which includes the applicable Early Tender Premium, as set forth in the table above, plus Accrued Interest. Dominion has exercised its right to early accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time. The Notes will be purchased on the "Early Settlement Date", which will be determined at Dominion's option and is currently expected to occur on July 19, 2016, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been either satisfied or waived by Dominion.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Aug. 1, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated by Dominion (the "Expiration Time"). Holders who have not already tendered their Notes may continue to do so at any time prior to the Expiration Time, but to the extent those Notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase, the holders will be entitled to receive only the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the applicable Full Tender Offer Consideration less the Early Tender Premium, subject to Acceptance Priority Levels, proration and the Tender Cap. No tenders submitted after the Expiration Time will be valid. The Settlement Date, if necessary, for Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and on or before the Expiration Time and which are accepted for purchase is expected to occur on the first business day following the Expiration Time. 

The Withdrawal Time for the Tender Offer was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 18, 2016, and has not been extended. Accordingly, previously tendered Notes and Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Time and prior to the Expiration Time may not be withdrawn, subject to applicable law.

Capitalized terms used in this press release and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.
