Item 7.01                                             Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On September 15, 2011, Dynegy Inc. (“Dynegy,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) announced that it has commenced offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) up to $1,250,000,000 principal amount of certain outstanding notes, debentures and capital income securities (collectively, the “Old Notes”) of Dynegy Holdings, LLC (“DH”), its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary, for Dynegy’s new 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “New Notes”) and cash.

 

To announce the launch of the Exchange Offers, Dynegy issued a press release on September 15, 2011. A copy of Dynegy’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In connection with the Exchange Offers, Dynegy intends to distribute to certain eligible holders of the Old Notes, a confidential Offering Circular, dated September 15, 2011 (the “Offering Circular’), which contains, among other things, information regarding the risks to eligible holders considering participating in the Exchange Offers.  Certain information included in the Offering Circular may constitute material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.  Such information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K and Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 33-8176, the information contained herein and in the documents furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are not subject to the liabilities of that section and are not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. In addition, the exhibits contain statements intended as “forward-looking statements” which are subject to the cautionary statements about forward-looking statements set forth in the press release or in this Current Report on Form 8-K, as applicable.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements,” including statements as to Dynegy’s reorganization and financing plans. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Management cautions that any or all of Dynegy’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. Please read Dynegy’s annual, quarterly and current reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, for additional information about the risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting these forward-looking statements and Dynegy generally. Dynegy’s actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All of Dynegy’s forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking statements. In addition, Dynegy disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
