Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

OGE Energy Corp. (the "Company") is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), a regulated electric utility with approximately 822,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. In addition, the Company holds a 26.3 percent limited partner interest and a 50 percent general partner interest in Enable Midstream Partners, LP.

On December 2, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors elected a new director, Frank A. Bozich, to a term expiring at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for May 2016, at which time he is expected to be nominated for approval by the Company's shareholders. Mr. Bozich will serve on the Audit Committee. Mr. Bozich will receive compensation for his Board service consistent with compensation received by the Company's other non-employee directors (which is described in Exhibit 10.33 to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014).

Mr. Bozich, 56, is President and Chief Executive Officer at the SI Group, a leading global developer and manufacturer of phenolic resins and electronic chemicals used in the production of semiconductors, imaging products, packaging, rubber compounds, dyes and fuel additives. Prior to joining SI Group in 2013, Mr. Bozich held several executive management positions at BASF Corporation including President of BASF’s Catalysts Division, Group Vice President of Precious and Base Metal Service and Group Vice President of the Integration Management Office. He was previously Group Vice President of Enterprise Technologies and Ventures at Engelhard Corporation, which was acquired by BASF in 2006. Mr. Bozich holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Chicago, as well as a master’s degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois.

For further information, see the attached press release which is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events
 
On December 2, 2015, OG&E received an order from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ("OCC") regarding a plan to comply with the Federal Clean Air Act as well as the Mustang Modernization project. By a two to one vote, the OCC denied OG&E’s plan to comply with the environmental mandates of the Federal Clean Air Act and the Regional Haze and Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.  The OCC also denied OG&E’s request for pre-approval of its Mustang Modernization Plan, revised depreciation rates for both the retirement of the Mustang units and the replacement combustion turbines and pre-approval of early retirement and replacement of generating units at its Mustang site, including cost recovery through a rider. At this time, OG&E is still reviewing the impact of this order.

A copy of the OCC's order is attached as Exhibit 99.02 and incorporated herein by reference.
