Frequently Asked Questions

This filing is an amendment to a previous Form 8-K. Its main purpose is to provide the required historical financial statements of NSTAR (the acquired company) and pro forma financial information for the combined Northeast Utilities entity following their merger.

The amendment includes the audited consolidated financial statements of NSTAR for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the three years prior. It also includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements for Northeast Utilities as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The pro forma financial information is important because it shows how the combined company (Northeast Utilities and NSTAR) would have performed financially had the merger occurred at an earlier date. This helps investors understand the potential financial impact and synergies of the merger on the consolidated entity.

This filing does not introduce new information about the merger terms or its completion status beyond what was disclosed in the initial Form 8-K filed on April 10, 2012. Its focus is strictly on supplementing that report with the necessary financial statements and related exhibits.
