Summary Annual Report
Dominion has published its 2009 annual report to share-
holders in a smaller, more cost-effective format. Many of
our shareholders have told us they would prefer to see the
chairman’s letter and other basic information published in
a smaller, easier-to-handle document. Others have told us
they only want the detailed information contained in our
annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. By separating the documents, we
are working to serve the needs of both. View all Dominion
publications at our Web site, www.dom.com.
