Seattle, July 25 – Dominion Resources Inc.’s $800 million of 5.25% 2016 series A $25-par enhanced junior subordinated notes due July 30, 2076 began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday.

The new notes will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including to finance a previously announced tender offer for up to $200 million of the outstanding 2006 series A enhanced junior subordinated notes due 2066 and 2006 series B enhanced junior subordinated notes due 2066, and to repay short-term paper.
