Item
5.03(a) AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR
BYLAWS;
CHANGE
IN FISCAL YEAR.
Effective May 15,
2008, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) amended its
articles of incorporation to reduce, from 37,037 to 33,637, the number
of authorized shares of SCE&G’s Cumulative Preferred Stock ($50 par
value) 4.60% (B) Series and to reduce, from $295,491,461.50 to $295,321,461.50,
SCE&G’s stated capital. The articles of amendment were adopted to reflect
SCE&G’s acquisition of 3,400 shares of its Cumulative Preferred Stock ($50
par value) 4.60% (B) Series that, pursuant to SCE&G’s articles of
incorporation, may not be reissued.
Further, on May 20,
2008, SCE&G filed related articles of correction upon determination that
Part 4 of the above referenced articles of amendment inadvertently included an
incorrect date of adoption (August 21, 2007 rather than May 15,
2008). South Carolina law provides that articles of correction are
effective on the effective date of the document they correct, except as to
persons relying on the uncorrected document and adversely affected by the
correction. As to those persons, articles of correction are effective when
filed.
