This presentation contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward looking
statements.” Discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations of
Dynegy is contained in Dynegy's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Specifically, Dynegy makes reference to, and incorporates herein by
reference, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in its most recent Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements” in its preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on January 10, 2011 and the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” in its
preliminary consent revocation statement filed with the SEC on November 26, 2010. In addition to the risks and uncertainties set forth in Dynegy's SEC filings, the
forward-looking statements described in this presentation could be affected by, among other things, (i) the timing and anticipated benefits to be achieved through
Dynegy's 2010-2013 company-wide cost savings program; (ii) beliefs and assumptions relating to liquidity, available borrowing capacity and capital resources generally;
(iii) expectations regarding environmental matters, including costs of compliance, availability and adequacy of emission credits, and the impact of ongoing proceedings
and potential regulations or changes to current regulations, including those relating to climate change, air emissions, cooling water intake structures, coal combustion
byproducts, and other laws and regulations to which Dynegy is, or could become, subject; (iv) beliefs about commodity pricing and generation volumes; (v) anticipated
liquidity in the regional power and fuel markets in which Dynegy transacts, including the extent to which such liquidity could be affected by poor economic and financial
market conditions or new regulations and any resulting impacts on financial institutions and other current and potential counterparties; (vi) sufficiency of, access to and
costs associated with coal, fuel oil and natural gas inventories and transportation thereof; (vii) beliefs and assumptions about market competition, generation capacity
and regional supply and demand characteristics of the wholesale power generation market, including the potential for a market recovery over the longer term; (viii) the
effectiveness of Dynegy's strategies to capture opportunities presented by changes in commodity prices and to manage its exposure to energy price volatility; (ix) beliefs
and assumptions about weather and general economic conditions; (x) beliefs regarding the U.S. economy, its trajectory and its impacts, as well as Dynegy's stock price;

capacity, credit facility compliance, collateral demands, capital expenditures, interest expense and other payments; (xiii) Dynegy's focus on safety and its ability to
efficiently operate its assets so as to maximize its revenue generating opportunities and operating margins; (xiv) beliefs about the outcome of legal, regulatory,
administrative and legislative matters; (xv) expectations and estimates regarding capital and maintenance expenditures, including the Midwest Consent Decree and its
associated costs; (xvi) uncertainties associated with the consent solicitation (the “Seneca Capital Solicitation”) engaged in by Seneca Capital International Master Fund,

consummation of the Transaction and the ability to complete the Transaction. Any or all of Dynegy's forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be

Seneca’s Factual Errors in Valuing Dynegy

requiring estimates and/or predictions such as $/Kw or DCF):
– Dynegy’s net debt as of September 30, 2010 (adjusted to reflect January
5, 2011 cash balances) is $3.565 billion, NOT $3.307 billion as Seneca
stated. This error is especially glaring considering the data is publicly

Reduction in value: $2.13 per share
– Seneca assigns $88 million of value to Other Western Gas(1) (South Bay
& Black Mountain or 352 MWs); however, Dynegy is obligated to
decommission the South Bay plant beginning 2011, which has been
publicly disclosed, and Black Mountain’s value is not material.

Reduction in value: $0.73 per share
– In addition to incorrectly assigning value to Other Western Gas assets,
Seneca does not account for the fact that Dynegy is obligated to
decommission the South Bay plant. Dynegy will incur a net cash expense
of ~$50 million over several years.
Reduction in value: $0.41 per share
Seneca does not account for the fact that Dynegy is obligated to
decommission the South Bay plant. Dynegy will incur a net cash expense
of ~$50 million over several years.
Reduction in value: $0.41 per share
– Seneca has not even reflected correctly the preliminary work of its Big 4
accounting firm regarding cost estimates. Without debating the validity of
the work, Seneca included G&A of $75 million while the Big 4 accounting
firm’s report, disclosed publicly in Seneca’s SEC filings, indicated a G&A
range of $93-$116 million, which compares to Dynegy’s 2011 estimate of
$125 million (2). Seneca applied a 6x multiple in its valuation.
