Delta Natural Gas Company, Inc. President and CEO Glen R. Jennings announced that on Feb. 17, Delta Natural Gas Company, Inc. declared a 2-for-1 stock split for common shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 17.
Subject to regulatory approval, the additional stock is expected to be issued and the stock split completed, on or about May 1.

No action is required by shareholders at this time.
Once Delta Natural Gas receives the required regulatory approvals, expected in April 2012, additional information will be sent to shareholders.
