AGL RESOURCES ANNOUNCES
EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT APPOINTMENT
Names Kevin P. Madden executive vice president
of distribution and pipeline operations
(ATLANTA - April 10, 2002) AGL Resources (NYSE: ATG) today announced that Kevin P. Madden has been named executive vice president of distribution and pipeline operations. Madden, who has been serving as executive vice president of legal, regulatory and governmental strategy, will continue to report to Paula G. Rosput, chairman and chief executive officer of AGL Resources. Madden replaces Susan A. McLaughlin, who has resigned to pursue other opportunities.
In his new role, Madden will oversee AGL Resources' regulated gas distribution and pipeline activities, including the operations of Atlanta Gas Light Company, Chattanooga Gas Company, and Virginia Natural Gas. He also will continue to be responsible for AGL Resources' regulatory functions.
"Kevin's demonstrated leadership makes him well qualified to take on the responsibility of AGL Resources' regulated gas distribution businesses," said Paula G. Rosput, chairman and chief executive officer of AGL Resources. "He has vast deep knowledge of pipeline operations and broad national perspectives on energy policy." She added, "We are disappointed to lose an executive of Sue McLaughlin's caliber. We are fortunate, however, to have the management depth to fill this key role in our organization without missing a beat."
Madden joined AGL Resources last year from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), where he served as general counsel and was responsible for the development of all legal and regulatory policies for FERC.
