TABLE OF CONTENTS
Section 8 — Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 24 and 25, 2007, Exelon Corporation (Exelon), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation)
and Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) filed current reports on Form 8-K disclosing the material
terms of a settlement agreement to address concerns about higher electric bills in Illinois without
a rate freeze, generation tax or other legislation that would be harmful to consumers of
electricity, electric utilities, generators of electricity and the State of Illinois (the
Settlement). The Settlement will be effective only upon enactment of certain proposed legislation,
House Amendment No. 5 to Senate Bill 1592, which was described in the Form 8-K filed on July 25,
2007. A copy of House Amendment No. 5 to Senate Bill 1592 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. On
July 26, 2007, Senate Bill 1592 was amended by House Amendment No. 6, which makes a technical
correction and adds provisions related to minority and female owned businesses and businesses owned
by persons with disabilities. A copy of House Amendment No. 6 to Senate Bill 1592 is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.2. On July 26, 2007, Senate Bill 1592 (the Legislation) was passed by both
the Illinois House of Representatives, by votes of 80 votes for, 33 votes against, and 1 voting
present, and the Illinois Senate, by a vote of 40 votes for, 13 votes against, and 1 voting
present. These votes are both in excess of the three-fifths supermajority required for a law to
become effective immediately when passed in an extended session of the Illinois General Assembly.
To be enacted into law, the Legislation must be signed by the Governor of Illinois (the Governor).
The Governor has indicated that he will sign it. However, there can be no assurance that the
Governor will sign the Legislation. The parties to the Settlement have agreed that enactment of
the Legislation will satisfy conditions of the Settlement relating to the enactment of legislation.
