Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously announced, on June 27, 2018, South Jersey Industries, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Marina Energy LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Marina”), entered into a series of agreements whereby Marina will sell its portfolio of solar energy assets (the “Transaction”) to an entity managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“Buyer”) for total consideration of approximately $350 million in cash.

As previously disclosed, the Company has been transferring ownership of these assets through multiple closings, as conditions precedent are met. Effective December 31, 2018, the Company closed on the disposition of additional solar sites across Maryland, New Jersey and Massachusetts with a total capacity of 49.2 megawatts. Total net consideration received for the sale of these divestitures is approximately $65.5 million in cash.

To date, the Company has closed on a total of $284.2 million in cash related to the projects that have already closed. There are remaining sites that have not closed due to outstanding conditions precedent. The Company and Buyer are seeking to resolve the open issues and close on these remaining projects, however, there is no assurance that all remaining projects will close as part of the Transaction.

The information provided in Exhibit 99.1 hereto is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
