Item
5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s
Employee Benefit Plans.
|
The SCANA
Corporation Stock Purchase-Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is transitioning to a new
recordkeeping system. The transition will require a blackout period
during which eligible employees will be unable to enroll in the Plan and
participants in the Plan will be temporarily unable to change their contribution
rates, direct or diversify investments in their individual accounts (including
accounts that hold SCANA Corporation common stock), or obtain loans or
distributions from the Plan. The blackout period will also apply to
the SCANA Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan to the extent that
the same or similar rights normally are available under that plan.
On
February 5, 2008, SCANA Corporation (“SCANA”) received notice of the blackout
period from the Plan administrator. On February 11, 2008, SCANA sent
a notice of the blackout period (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive
officers informing them that a blackout period is expected to be in effect
beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern Time on March 13, 2008 and ending at 8 a.m. Eastern
Time on March 19, 2008. The Notice was provided to the Company’s
directors and executive officers pursuant to the requirements of Section 306 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s Regulation BTR, and a copy of the Notice is attached as Exhibit
99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by
reference.
