Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 24, 2009, The York Water Company ("we", "us", "our" or the
"Company"), entered in to an Underwriting Agreement with Boenning & Scattergood,
Inc. and J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, LLC as underwriters, which provides for
the issuance and sale by the Company (the "Offering") and the purchase by the
underwriters of 950,000 shares (the "Firm Shares") of our common stock at $14.00
per share. We have also granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to
142,500 additional shares of our common stock (collectively with the Firm
Shares, the "Shares"), to cover over-allotments, if any. The sale of the Firm
Shares will result in net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting
commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $12,461,411. The Shares
being offered by the Company in this Offering were registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an existing shelf registration
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158837), which was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2009. The prospectus supplement
describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 25, 2009. We expect the transaction to close on
September 29, 2009. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1
to this report. A copy of the opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP relating to
the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached
as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
In addition, on September 24, 2009, we issued a press release announcing the
pricing of the public offering described above. The press release is being
furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. The press
release is not being filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any
filing of the Company.
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that we believe to be reasonable as of today's
