Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 5, 2015, the Vectren Corporation board of directors selected board member Jean L. Wojtowicz as the Company’s next lead director, subject to her reelection at the Company’s May 24, 2016 annual shareholder meeting. Assuming her reelection, Wojtowicz would assume this role effective immediately following the 2016 annual shareholder meeting. Wojtowicz has served as a member of the Company’s board since the inception of operations in April of 2000. She currently serves as chair of the board’s Compensation and Benefits committee and as a member of the board’s Audit and Risk Management committee, where she has been designated a financial expert. Wojtowicz will succeed J. Timothy McGinley, who, as previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement, will retire from the board at the 2016 annual shareholder meeting. Wojtowicz was selected to fill the lead director position as part of the Company’s continuing director succession planning process that is led by the board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance committee.

A copy of the press release announcing Ms. Wojtowicz's appointment is attached and filed as exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
