Explanatory Note

Unitil Corporation (“Unitil” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 21, 2011 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2011) solely for the purpose of disclosing under Item 5.07 of Form 8-K its decision, following its annual meeting of shareholders, as to the frequency with which it expects to include a shareholder vote on the compensation of executives in future annual meeting proxy materials. This Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise revise the April 21, 2011 Form 8-K in any way.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

At Unitil Corporation’s annual meeting of shareholders held on April 21, 2011, Unitil’s shareholders voted on an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. As reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 21, 2011, at the meeting, consistent with the Company’s Board of Directors’ recommendation, shareholders cast the highest number of votes for a triennial (every three years) frequency instead of a biennial (every two years) or annual frequency. In light of this vote and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Unitil will hold a triennial advisory vote on executive compensation. The Company will re-evaluate this determination in connection with its next shareholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
