On September 28, 2015, PPL Electric Utilities Corporation (“PPL Electric”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the offering and sale by PPL Electric of $350 million of 4.150% First Mortgage Bonds due 2045 (the “Bonds”).

The Bonds were issued on October 1, 2015, under PPL Electric’s Indenture (the “2001 Indenture”), dated as of August 1, 2001, to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as previously supplemented and as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 17 thereto (the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of October 1, 2015 (collectively, the “Indenture”). The Bonds will be secured by the lien of the Indenture, which creates a lien on substantially all of PPL Electric’s distribution properties and certain of its transmission properties, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions, as described therein.

The Bonds are due October 1, 2045, subject to early redemption. PPL Electric will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to repay short term indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

The Bonds were offered and sold under PPL Electric’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-202290-01).

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1(a) to this report and incorporated herein by reference. The Supplemental Indenture and Officer’s Certificate are filed with this report as Exhibits 4(a) and 4(b), respectively.
