Insights
Unitil adds regulated water scale using new term debt while keeping leverage covenants defined.
Unitil is expanding further into regulated water by buying AWC-NH and Abenaki for a total purchase price of $55.8 million, including assumption of $13.7 million of debt. The acquired systems serve about 11,000 customers with an estimated $47.0 million rate base as of December 31, 2025.
Financing is anchored by an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with The Bank of Nova Scotia, providing an $86.0 million Tranche A loan and a $50.0 million Tranche B loan. Unitil has already drawn $86.0 million for Maine Natural Gas Corporation and $42.7 million for the Aquarion companies, with a single financial covenant capping Funded Debt to Capitalization at 65%, tested quarterly.
The long-term Operating and Transition Services Agreement with Aquarion Water Authority and Eversource, running up to 60 months and priced at cost plus a 5% margin subject to limits, is intended to maintain operations during integration. Subsequent company filings may provide additional detail on how quickly the acquisition contributes toward the stated 5%–7% long-term EPS growth objective.

1. |
Amendment No. 4 to Purchase and Sale Agreement. |
As previously reported, on May 6, 2025, Unitil Corporation, a New Hampshire corporation (“Unitil” or the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and Aquarion Water Authority, a public corporation and political subdivision of the state of Connecticut (“AWA” or “Seller”), and, solely with respect to Section 9.25 and Section 9.26 thereof, South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (“RWA”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Aquarion Water Company of Massachusetts, Inc. (“AWC-MA”), Aquarion Water Company of New Hampshire, Inc. (“AWC-NH”), and Abenaki Water Co., Inc. (“Abenaki”) from Seller. The Company summarized the material terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 6, 2025.
As previously reported, on January 23, 2026, February 23, 2026 and May 25, 2026, the Company, Seller and RWA entered into amendments to the Purchase Agreement that, among other things, amended the definition of “Termination Date” in Section 8.1(d) of the Purchase Agreement by ultimately replacing the Purchase Agreement’s initial reference to “January 23, 2026” with a reference to “June 30, 2026”. Except as specifically modified and amended by those amendments, the Purchase Agreement remained unchanged. The Company summarized the material terms and conditions of each amendment in Current Reports on Form 8-K dated January 23, 2026, February 23, 2026 and May 25, 2026.
On June 30, 2026, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 4 to Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) by and between the Company, Seller and RWA. Amendment No. 4, among other things, further amended the Purchase Agreement by limiting the entities that the Company would purchase from Seller under the Purchase Agreement to AWC-NH and Abenaki. Except as specifically modified and amended by Amendment No. 4, the Purchase Agreement remained unchanged.
Neither the Company nor any of its controlled affiliates has any material relationship with Seller or RWA, other than with respect to the Purchase Agreement and the amendments thereto (including Amendment No. 4) and the Operating and Transition Services Agreement (as defined below).
The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 4 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of Amendment No. 4 attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
Amendment No. 4 has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. Amendment No. 4 is not intended to provide any factual information about the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in Amendment No. 4 were made only for purposes of Amendment No. 4 and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties to Amendment No. 4. Moreover, the representations and warranties contained in Amendment No. 4 generally were made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk among the parties to Amendment No. 4 instead of establishing matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties to Amendment No. 4 that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under Amendment No. 4 and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants contained therein or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Additionally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties contained in Amendment No. 4 may change after the date of Amendment No. 4, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
2. |
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement |
On June 30, 2026, Unitil Corporation (“Unitil”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2026 among the following parties (the “Credit Agreement”): Unitil; The Bank of Nova Scotia, as agent; and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as lender (the “Lender”).
The Credit Agreement has a borrowing limit of $86.0 million with respect to the Tranche A Loan thereunder (which relates to the Company’s acquisition of Maine Natural Gas Corporation) and $50.0 million with respect to the Tranche B Loan thereunder (which relates to the Company’s acquisition of AWC-NH and Abenaki). Subject to certain notice requirements, Unitil may irrevocably reduce or terminate the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time without penalty.
Unitil may borrow and receive delayed draw term loans on a senior unsecured basis under the Credit Agreement until October 31, 2026 with respect to the Tranche A Loan and June 30, 2027 with respect to the Tranche B Loan. The Credit Agreement terminates on June 30, 2027 and all amounts outstanding under the Tranche A Loan are due and payable on October 31, 2026 and under the Tranche B Loan are due and payable on June 30, 2027. Unitil may prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty, other than breakage costs. Unitil must prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at any time under certain circumstances, including (i) from the net proceeds of issuance of debt other than certain permitted debt, (ii) from the net proceeds of issuance of equity other than certain permitted equity, (iii) subject to a minimum threshold of $25 million and other exceptions, from the net proceeds of asset sale and casualty insurance policies and (iv) from the net proceeds of certain
indemnification, damages and working capital adjustment rights related to the acquisition of Maine Natural Gas Corporation and the acquisitions of AWC-NH and Abenaki.
The Credit Agreement generally provides Unitil with the ability to elect that borrowings bear interest:
|
(i) |
at a rate per annum equal to (a) the forward-looking SOFR term rate administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited and published on the applicable Reuters screen page two business days prior to the commencement of a one-month interest period, plus (b) 0.1000%, plus (c) a margin of 1.25%; and |
|
(ii) |
at a daily fluctuating rate equal to (a) the highest of (I) the federal funds effective rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.50%, (II) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the Lender as its “prime rate,” and (III) Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus 1.00%, plus (b) a margin of 0.25%. |
“SOFR” means the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Unitil generally may borrow under the Credit Agreement to finance its acquisition of Maine Natural Gas Corporation, its acquisitions of AWC-NH and Abenaki, and for general corporate purposes. On October 31, 2025, Unitil borrowed $86.0 million to partially finance its acquisition of Maine Natural Gas Corporation. On June 30, 2026, Unitil borrowed $42.7 million to finance its acquisitions of AWC-NH and Abenaki.
The Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including affirmative and negative covenants. There are restrictions on, among other things, Unitil’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens or incur indebtedness, restrictions on making investments, paying dividends and other distributions, providing guarantees and restrictions on Unitil’s ability to merge or consolidate with another entity or change its line of business. The affirmative and negative covenants under the Credit Agreement apply to Unitil until the Credit Agreement terminates and all amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement are paid in full. The only financial covenant in the Credit Agreement provides that Unitil’s Funded Debt to Capitalization (as each term is defined in the Credit Agreement) cannot exceed 65% tested on a quarterly basis.
The events of default under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) failure to pay outstanding principal or interest; (2) failure of representations or warranties to be correct, in any material respect; (3) failure to perform negative covenants and certain affirmative covenants; (4) failure to perform any other covenants or agreement, if the failure is not remedied within 30 days; (5) a cross-default with other debt in certain circumstances; (6) a change of control; (7) certain judgments against Unitil and/or its subsidiaries in excess of $25 million; (8) certain defaults on obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act; or (9) certain bankruptcy-related or insolvency-related events. Such events of default could result in the acceleration of all obligations and the termination of the right to borrow additional funds under the Credit Agreement; however, upon the entry of an order for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the obligations would be automatically accelerated and the right to borrow would be automatically terminated.
Neither Unitil nor any of its controlled affiliates has any material relationship with The Bank of Nova Scotia, other than with respect to (i) the Credit Agreement, (ii) the debt commitment letter dated May 6, 2025 between Unitil and The Bank of Nova Scotia relating to the acquisition of AWC-MA, AWC-NH, and Abenaki, (iii) advice provided by The Bank of Nova Scotia or its affiliates in connection with the acquisition of AWC-MA, AWC-NH, and Abenaki, (iv) the debt commitment letter dated March 31, 2025 between the Company and The Bank of Nova Scotia relating to the acquisition of Maine Natural Gas Corporation, a Maine corporation, (vi) advice provided by The Bank of Nova Scotia or its affiliates in connection with the acquisition of Maine Natural Gas Corporation, (v) the debt commitment letter dated July 8, 2024 between the Company and The Bank of Nova Scotia relating to the acquisition of Bangor Natural Gas Company, a Maine corporation, (vi) advice provided by The Bank of Nova Scotia or its affiliates in connection with the acquisition of Bangor Natural Gas Company, and (vii) other customary banking and investment banking relationships.

The Aquarion Companies’ rate base is estimated to be approximately $47.0 million as of December 31, 2025. With this acquisition, Unitil serves approximately 226,100 customers throughout New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts.

“The acquisition of the Aquarion Companies represents a unique opportunity for Unitil to expand into a complementary regulated utility service within a state we already serve,” said Thomas P. Meissner Jr., Unitil’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to welcome the Aquarion Companies’ experienced, locally managed teams and remain committed to delivering the high-quality service that customers and communities across New Hampshire have come to expect.”
The purchase price was $55.8 million, including the assumption of approximately $13.7 million of debt, plus approximately $0.6 million for estimated working capital and reimbursable capital expenditures. Unitil funded the purchase price through a term loan from Scotiabank.
