Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans.
On May 15, 2014, Questar Corporation (“Questar”) transmitted a notice (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them of blackout trading restrictions in Questar’s common stock due to the transition of recordkeeping services for the Questar Corporation 401(k) Retirement Income Plan. As a result of the transition, activity in the Questar Stock Fund under the plan may be closed for participant transactions (i.e. investment election changes, loans, distributions and withdrawals). The blackout period will begin on June 23, 2014 and could last until July 11, 2014. The blackout is necessary to ensure all information and assets are accurately transitioned and reconciled to the new service provider.
The Notice, which was provided in accordance with Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR, advises Questar’s directors and executive officers that they will be unable to trade in Questar common stock (or related securities) during the blackout period. A copy of the Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
During the blackout period and for a two-year period thereafter, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period may be obtained, without charge, by contacting Questar Corporation, Attention: Julie Wray; P.O. Box 45433, Salt Lake City, UT 84145-0433; telephone: 801-324-2736.
