ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2003

AGL Resources Inc. (NYSE: ATG) today announced that the Audit Committee of the company's Board of Directors has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company's independent auditor.

PricewaterhouseCoopers will replace Deloitte & Touche LLP.

The appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as part of a periodic evaluation process.

The decision to change auditors is not the result of any disagreement between AGL Resources and Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The decision will be effective for the company's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2003.
