Electric Company (WMECo) and Yankee Gas Services Company (Yankee

Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and employing a
workforce of more than 8,000 New Englanders, Eversource represents
one unified company across three states.
“We’re proud of our history and our future as New England's
energy provider,” said Tom May, chairman, president and chief
executive officer of Eversource Energy. “Our new brand represents
the commitment of these six historic institutions, and our more
than 8,000 employees, who make sure the energy that powers our
corner of the world is always there. We are a single, united
company with the mission of delivering reliable energy and superior
customer service.”
The Eversource brand stands for the company’s resolute
commitment to always work to improve and to always make the right
energy investments and innovations for customers. Beginning today,
the company’s new one-company website, Eversource.com, will serve
all customers in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
“Energy is what brings us all together and as Eversource, we
will proudly continue to meet our promises to our customers,” added
May. “Whether it’s heading out in the storm while others head home,
or taking care of problems before they arise, with a new name our
focus remains the same - powering our region’s homes, businesses,
offices, families, neighbors and friends.”
Business and residential customers do not need to take any
action as the company becomes Eversource. All web log-in
information will continue to work and customers will be
automatically redirected to Eversource.com if they visit the former
operating companies’ websites. No company phone numbers will
change. Customers can continue to call the same phone numbers for
account information, outage reporting, moving and any

under the ticker symbol ES. Changes to the company’s ticker symbol
