other cities served by Atmos Energy Mid-Tex Division ("Atmos Mid-Tex"or"Company"), is
a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee ("ACSC"or"Steering Committee"). On
March 6, 2009, Atmos Mid-Tex filed with the City an application to increase natural gas
rates pursuant to the Rate Review Mechanism ("RRM")tariff approved by the City as part
of the settlement of the Atmos Mid-Tex 2007 Statement of Intent to increase rates.
The Atmos Mid-Tex March RRM filing sought a $20.2 million rate increase. The City
worked with ACSC to analyze the schedules and evidence offered by Atmos Mid-Tex to
support its request to increase rates. The Ordinance and RRM tariff are the result of
negotiation between ACSC and the Company to resolve issues raised by ACSC during the
review and evaluation of ACSC's RRM filing. The Ordinance and RRM tariffs approve
rates that will increase the Company's revenues by$2.6 million effective for bills rendered
on or after August 1, 2009. The monthly bill impact for the average residential customer
will be a $0.15 increase (about a 0.22% increase in the total bill).

approval of the ordinance.
