EXPLANATORY NOTE
DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement Nos. 333-181305 and 333-181305-01) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 10, 2012 by UNS Energy Corporation and Tucson Electric Power Company (the “Registrants”) and immediately declared effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrants registered (1) an offering by UNS Energy Corporation of its common stock, without par value, pursuant to the UNS Energy Corporation Investment Plus Plan, (2) an unspecified aggregate initial offering by UNS Energy Corporation of its common stock, without par value, and (3) an unspecified aggregate initial offering by Tucson Electric Power Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNS Energy Corporation, of its unsecured debt securities.
On August 15, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 11, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by UNS Energy Corporation with FortisUS Inc. (“Fortis”), Color Acquisition Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortis (“Merger Sub”), and, for limited purposes, Fortis Inc., the parent company of Fortis, Merger Sub merged with and into UNS Energy Corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and UNS Energy Corporation continued as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortis.
As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement have been terminated. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrants in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remained unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrants hereby remove from registration any of the securities of the Registrants registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the filing date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
