Biography: EUGENE V. ROZGONYI, JR.

Eugene Rozgonyi was named Vice President and Chief Risk Officer of AGL resources in November 2001. He has

over 25 years experience with trading and risk management in the energy, commodity and financial markets.

Upon graduating from Regis University in Denver, Colorado with a degree in Economics, he joined Tudor

Investment Corporation in New York as a commodity floor trader, floor broker, and analyst. Mr. Rozgonyi, went

on to become an independent trader in the energy, metals, and financial futures markets acting as both a “local”

floor trader and an executing floor broker. In 1993, with the introduction of electricity futures on the New York

Mercantile Exchange, he was one of the first independent traders to execute electricity futures contracts and to

offer floor brokering services to utilities across the country while also assisting them with their risk management

and hedging strategies. Shortly thereafter, as a result of his unique experience, he was recruited by Xcel Energy, a

Fortune 500 utility, and for several years led its unregulated wholesale power and natural gas risk management

initiatives. He later joined CQG Inc., an industry leader that provides analytics software and trading solutions

globally to 90 exchanges and over 100 banks in 67 countries. He was responsible for implementing and launching

new products and services targeted at energy traders worldwide.

As AGL Resources’ Chief Risk Officer, Mr. Rozgonyi has built upon his success during the early years of

deregulation and has led the development of new policies, processes and procedures to embed risk management

throughout the company. AGL Resources has been cited as having one of the most evolved enterprise risk

management (ERM) programs in the energy industry. Mr. Rozgonyi has also been successful in developing and

fostering a new corporate culture that embraces, facilitates and values enterprise risk management and the

contribution it makes to the various operating units as well as to the overall company. His responsibilities include

development and oversight of all enterprise wide risk management and risk control activities including risks

related to the company’s unregulated trading, asset management, weather, operations and treasury. He has created

a “pipeline” of relevant reporting that gathers data along a process that begins with what can initially be the

complicated and nuanced area of transaction/deal entry, followed by uniquely transforming that data, broadening

it with enterprise wide risk assessments, and finally delivering it as simple and coherent risk reporting to various

operating groups, and personal and eloquently delivered Board of Director presentations.

Mr. Rozgonyi currently serves as on the Board of Directors of Georgia Natural Gas (Chair) and the Commodity

Markets Council, a Washington D.C. think tank and trade association. He has also served on the Board of

Directors for Senior Housing Options of Colorado and the New York Mercantile Exchange Charitable

Foundation. He completed the NASD Series 3 National Commodity Futures Exam (1984), has ethics

certifications and has held memberships on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the Commodity Exchange Inc.,

and two divisions of the New York Board of Trade: the New York Futures Exchange and the Financial Instrument

Exchange.

Over the years, Mr. Rozgonyi has been a periodic volunteer at the University of Houston’s Bauer College of

Business for the education of MBA students studying energy market trading and practices and has lectured on risk

management in the distinguished leadership series at the Foster School of Business at the University of

Washington. He has also acted as an industry consulting expert for a New York law firm. He was recognized by

Pat Wood, former Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), for his contributions

assisting in their efforts to ensure accurate, reliable and transparent industry reporting for increased market

liquidity, energy price discovery, and the reporting of natural gas and electricity price indices.
