Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.






    (a)  On April 12, 2021, NiSource Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release
         announcing its intention to offer to sell, subject to market and other
         conditions, 7,500,000 Equity Units, each with a stated amount of $100.
         Each Equity Unit will initially be in the form of a Corporate Unit
         consisting of a contract to purchase shares of the Company's common stock
         in the future and a 1/10th, or 10%, undivided beneficial ownership
         interest in one share of Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock,
         par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per
         share.




    (b)  In addition, in connection with the offering of the Equity Units, the
         Company provided a preliminary estimate of its net income available to
         common shareholders (also referred to as earnings per share) as of
         March 31, 2021.

The following estimates are not a comprehensive statement of the Company's financial condition or results for the period ended March 31, 2021. The Company's actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 may differ materially from these estimates, which are given only as of the date hereof, as a result of the completion of its financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments, which may arise between now and the time that its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are finalized. This information is inherently uncertain.

As of the date hereof, the Company estimates that its net income available to common shareholders (also referred to as earnings per share) as of March 31, 2021 was between $0.70 and $0.74.

The preliminary financial estimates provided herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management. Neither Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants have audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial data.

Accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express an opinion or any form of assurance with respect thereto and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaims any association with, this information.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and the information set forth therein is incorporated herein by reference and constitutes a part of this report. The information included in this Item 7.01 of this report and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 are for informational purposes only and do not constitute an offer to sell the Equity Units.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
