    BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI In the Matter of Spire Inc.’s ) Acquisition of EnergySouth, Inc. ) File No. GM-2016-0342 and Related Matters ) SPIRE INC.’S RESPONSE TO STAFF INVESTIGATION REPORT COMES NOW Spire Inc. (“Spire”), formerly known as The Laclede Group, Inc. (“LG”), and submits its Response to the Staff Investigation Report filed in this case on September 1, 2016 (the ‘Report”). In support thereof, Spire states as follows: 1. In its Report, the Staff provides its views of how Spire’s acquisition of Alabama Gas Corporation (“Alagasco”) some two years ago and its potential acquisition of EnergySouth may impact the utility customers of Laclede Gas Company (“Laclede”) and its operating unit, Missouri Gas Energy (“MGE”) in the future. Staff also provides its legal views of the Commission’s jurisdiction over the proposed transaction as well as Spire’s and Laclede’s compliance with the terms of the 2001 Stipulation and Agreement in Case No. GM-2001-342 which authorized The Laclede Group to form a holding company. 2. As discussed below, the Staff’s Report unfortunately contains an incorrect summary of its own experts’ conclusions that falsely suggests that the Alagasco acquisition has had resulted in higher rates currently being charged and lower quality services currently being provided by Laclede Gas Company. This incorrect summary has, in turn, been relied upon by the media to misinform the customers of Laclede Gas and MGE into believing something that is simply not true – a result that unfairly tarnishes the reputation of Spire and Laclede Gas and does a real disservice to customers, employees and shareholders.
