UPDATE ON NATIONAL GRID ACQUISITION OF KEYSPAN

 

National Grid today announces further progress on the proposed acquisition of KeySpan. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has completed its review of the transaction and has determined there are no issues of national security sufficient to warrant an investigation.

 

This follows the announcement on 10 July 2006, that the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR).

 

Remaining approvals for the acquisition include authorisation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and by state public utility regulatory commissions, including from the New York Public Service Commission and the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission.
