Andrew Evans

• Former CEO/COO of AGL Resources (NYSE: AGL) and CFO of Southern Company (NYSE: SO)

Has significant experience in the energy and utility industry with a career spanning more than 30 years, across a broad spectrum of capital intensive businesses.

Mr. Evans currently serves on the boards of Georgia Power (a subsidiary of Southern Company (NYSE: SO)), Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SWX), and Centuri Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CTRI). Mr. Evans has significant experience as a public company CEO (AGL Resources, Inc. (formerly NYSE: AGL)), CFO (Southern Company and AGL Resources), and COO (AGL Resources).

Prior to his retirement in 2021, Mr. Evans served as Executive Vice President and CFO of Southern Company from 2018 until 2021, where he was responsible for all investor interaction, public reporting, information technology and cyber security, business development, and risk. He had oversight of all capital deployment and served on the board and investment committees of all material unregulated subsidiaries, including Southern Power. Mr. Evans also served as a Senior Advisor to Southern Company in 2021, following his tenure as Executive Vice President and CFO.

Prior to Southern Company, Mr. Evans served as Chairman, President and CEO of AGL Resources, Inc. (now Southern Gas Company), among other positions, and helped grow that company from $2 billion in enterprise value until its sale to Southern Company for $12 billion. Growth was achieved through both acquisition (NUI and NICOR) and new business development. As CEO, Mr. Evans had an unwavering focus on employee and public safety, and operations.

During his 15 years at AGL Resources, Mr. Evans spent more than a decade as CFO. In addition to the customary financial duties, he had direct responsibility for a variety of unregulated businesses. He has significant competency in cost management and systems modernization, and has had direct responsibility for technology and cyber security for more than a decade. There are not many areas of public and private finance that Mr. Evans has not executed in directly.

Prior to AGL Resources, Mr. Evans spent 9 years with Mirant Corp (and its predecessors). His most significant experience there was in the development and operating of a commodity trading business. Mr. Evans has extensive experience in the structuring of derivative financial products, and has been involved in risk management throughout his career. Mr. Evans worked on its initial public offering of both equity and debt securities.

Mr. Evans also spent six years working in Boston for N/E/R/A and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. His focus at the former was emissions trading in the utility industry. He previously served as the Finance Chair for the American Gas Association and as a member of the Edison Electric Institute. Mr. Evans has a B.A. in Economics from Emory University.

We believe that Mr. Evans’ experience serving on other public company boards of directors, his extensive experience in the gas and electric utility industry, his general management experience, and his corporate strategy experience would add significant value to the Board.
