Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) This disposition represents the performance adjustment forfeiture relating to the January 1, 2005 grant under the Vectren Corporation At-Risk Compensation Plan. This grant is exempt under Section 16b-2 and was previously approved by the Board of Directors. This grant is subject to forfeiture as provided under the Plan.
(3) The Stock Unit Award was acquired pursuant to the Vectren Corporation At-Risk Compensation Plan and is subject to forfeiture as provided by the plan. The lifting of restrictions and forfeitability provisions are dependent upon performance during a measurement period from 1/1/08 through 12/31/10 and continued employment until 12/31/11. Upon lifting of restrictions, Grantee shall be paid, for each Stock Unit Award, in cash, the Fair Market Value of one share of common stock on the date restrictions lapse, provide Grantee is in compliance with share ownership guidelines established by the board of directors. If Grantee is not in compliance with share ownership guidelines, the value of each Stock Unit Award shall be paid in unrestricted Vectren common stock. The board of directors approved the acquisition in accordance with Rule 16b-3(d). Given the performance-based nature of the award, it is possible that this award is not a derivative security and may not be reportable.
(2) The reporting person elected not to defer restricted stock vesting in 2007 resulting in the sale of securities to cover tax withholding due upon the lifting of restrictions and receipt of shares. This transaction was previously approved by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors and is exempt under Rule 16b-3.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
