Coming by Mail: Important Transaction Information

Employees who own UIL Holdings Corporation common stock entitled to vote as of the close of business on the record date of October 2, 2015, will soon receive an important package in the mail.

This package includes a notice of a Special Meeting of Shareowners of UIL scheduled for Dec. 11, 2015, and a proxy statement containing information about the proposed transaction currently pending between UIL and Iberdrola USA. The package will also include a proxy card asking shareowners to vote in favor of the transaction on or before the Special Meeting on December 11.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares of UIL common stock that you own. The merger cannot be completed unless the merger agreement is approved by the affirmative vote of the owners of at least a majority of the shares of UIL common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date. Details about the meeting, along with a proxy card and instructions on how to vote, will be included as part of the package.

Employees are encouraged to look for the information package in the mail and review it carefully.
