Vectren S&P 500 2013 Peer Group
Companies that qualify for inclusion in the 2013 Peer Group include US domiciled companies that meet certain criteria
involving primary business as defined by SIC, utility assets, nonutility activities and market capitalization. The specific
criteria are provided in Vectren's 2013 Proxy Statement in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section under the
caption "Long-term Incentive Compensation."
At its February 2013 meeting, the Compensation and Benefits Committee reviewed and approved the established criteria
for inclusion in the 2013 Peer Group. Northeast Utilities was removed from the peer group having exceeded the 3-year
average market capitalization threshold of $8 billion. No company was added to the prior existing peer group.
The following 19 companies comprise the 2013 Peer Group: ALLETE, Alliant Energy, Ameren, Avista, Black Hills,
CenterPoint Energy, CH Energy Group, CMS Energy, Empire District Electric, Integrys Energy, NiSource, NorthWestern,
NV Energy, Pepco Holdings, SCANA, TECO Energy, UIL Holdings, UniSource Energy and Wisconsin Energy. The Peer
Group does not include Vectren.
