ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On November 25, 2008, Roanoke Gas Company (“Roanoke”), a utility subsidiary of RGC Resources, Inc. (“Resources”), entered into a Modification Number One to Promissory Note dated June 30, 2008, in the original principal amount of $28,000,000 in favor of Wachovia. This Modification reduces the available borrowing limits under the original Note for the balance of term, which expires March 31, 2009. The reduction in limits was justified by lower working capital needs due to the significant decrease in the commodity price of natural gas. When combined with the Promissory Note currently in place for Resources, these Notes provide for the following tiered aggregate borrowing limits:
