2 The U.K. Finance Act of 2015 reduced the U.K.'s statutory income tax rate. As a result, PPL Global, LLC reduced its net deferred tax liability and recognized a deferred tax benefit in 2015. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements of the 2015 10-K for additional information.

3 Relates to the 2015 settlement of the IRS audit for the tax years 1998-2011. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements of the 2015 10-K for additional information.

4 In March 2014, Ofgem issued its final decision on the DPCR4 line loss incentives and penalties mechanism. As a result, WPD increased its existing liability for over-recovery of line losses. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements of the 2015 10-K for additional information.
