MDU Resources Completes Holding Company Reorganization

 

BISMARCK, N.D. — Jan. 2, 2019 — MDU Resources Group, Inc. (NYSE: MDU) today said it has completed its previously announced holding company reorganization. MDU Resources Group, Inc. is now the parent holding company of Montana-Dakota Utilities Co., formerly known as MDU Resources Group, Inc., as the reorganized entity has assumed the name MDU Resources Group, Inc.

 

This holding company reorganization is intended to simplify the organizational structure and provide additional financing flexibility.  The reorganization was not implemented in connection with any particular corporate transaction, and no material operational or financial impact is expected.

 

In the holding company reorganization, stockholders automatically became stockholders of the new MDU Resources, on a one-for-one basis, with the same number of shares and same ownership percentage of common stock that they held immediately prior to the reorganization. The ticker symbol of MDU Resources common stock remains “MDU” and the CUSIP number remains the same.

 

The holding company reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for stockholders.
