UTL: 8-K · material agreement
Unitil Corporation filed an 8-K reporting the execution of Amendment No. 3 to its Purchase and Sale Agreement with Aquarion Water Authority and South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority. The amendment extends the 'Termination Date' of the agreement from May 25, 2026, to June 30, 2026, providing additional time for the parties to satisfy closing conditions.
The filing also acknowledges that the Seller has delivered notice of an amendment to a related Eversource Agreement, consistent with the terms of the original Purchase Agreement. This is the third amendment to the deal since its initial signing in May 2025, reflecting the complex regulatory approval process inherent in utility acquisitions.
No changes were made to the core economic terms or structure of the acquisition of Aquarion’s water subsidiaries in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The extension is a procedural adjustment rather than a strategic shift, keeping the transaction on track for a potential close in late June 2026.
