Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 29, 2014, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, (“Exelon Generation”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Integrys Energy Group, Inc. (“Integrys”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Integrys agreed to sell its competitive retail electric and natural gas businesses through a sale of all of the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrys Energy Services, Inc. (“IES”), to Exelon Generation for an all cash purchase price of $60 million plus adjusted net working capital at the time of the closing. IES’s adjusted net working capital balance was approximately $183 million as of May 31, 2014. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Exelon Generation has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the guarantees and other credit support currently being provided by Integrys for IES in support of the ongoing competitive retail businesses and to reimburse Integrys for any payments arising pursuant to such arrangements continuing for any post-closing period. The generation and solar asset businesses of IES are excluded from the transaction.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014 or the first quarter of 2015. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the transaction has not been consummated by the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, subject to an extension of up to 180 days, if necessary, to obtain regulatory approval. The Purchase Agreement also includes various representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification and other provisions customary for a transaction of this nature.

On July 30, 2014, Exelon Corporation and Integrys issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
