Other Events

On March 7, 2016, Dominion Resources, Inc. (the Company) completed the optional remarketing (the Remarketing) of $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2013 Series A 1.07% remarketable subordinated notes due 2021 (the Series A Notes), originally issued as components of its 2013 Series A Equity Units (the Equity Units) issued on June 7, 2013. The Remarketing of the Series A Notes was registered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which registration statement became effective on December 19, 2014 (File No. 333-201149).

In connection with the Remarketing, the Company entered into the Remarketing Agreement, dated as of February

11, 2016 (the Remarketing Agreement), among the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the reset agents and the remarketing agents, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, solely in its capacity as purchase contract agent and as attorney-in-fact of the holders of purchase contracts, a form of which is included as Exhibit P to the Series A Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2013, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as purchase contract agent and attorney-in-fact of the holders of the purchase contracts, collateral agent, custodial agent and securities intermediary, filed as Exhibit 4.7 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 7, 2013. Under the Remarketing Agreement and the indenture referenced below, the interest rate on the Series A Notes was reset in connection with the Remarketing to 4.104% per annum.

The Series A Notes were issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture II, dated as of June 1, 2006, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) (referred to herein as the Indenture Trustee), as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental and Amending Indenture thereto, dated as of June 1, 2009, among the Company, the Indenture Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as series trustee, for the series of which the Series A Notes are a part and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 1, 2013 (the fourth supplemental indenture). The fourth supplemental indenture has been supplemented and amended by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 7, 2016, which, among other things, redesignated the Series A Notes as the 4.104% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2021 following the Remarketing.

The Company did not receive any proceeds from the Remarketing. The proceeds were used to purchase a portfolio of treasury securities maturing on March 24, 2016. The Company expects that a portion of the funds generated upon maturity of the portfolio will be used to settle with the Company on April 1, 2016 the purchase contracts issued as part of the Equity Units.
