ITEM 5.  Other Matters

Attached is a press release discussing the recent settlement
between the Indiana Gas Company, Inc. (IGC) (subsidiary company
of Vectren Corporation), the Indiana Office of the Utility
Consumer Counselor, and the Citizens Action Coalition of the
appeals surrounding the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission's
January 4, 2001 order that disallowed $3.8 million of gas cost
recovery by IGC.  As detailed in the press release, the
settlement provides for immediate rate reductions to IGC
customers and for additional contributions to low-income
assistance programs to assist customers in paying heating bills.
The agreement provides that the $3.8 million disallowance, which
was recognized as a charge to IGC's 2000 fiscal year results,
will be satisfied by the contributions described in the press
release.  As a result of the disallowance and amounts previously
recognized, it is expected that the additional expense recorded
in 2001 will be less than $2 million.
