7.00% Tangible Equity Units

On June 21, 2016, Dynegy issued 4,600,000 7.00% tangible equity units (the “Units”), each with a stated amount of $100.00 and each comprised of (i) a prepaid stock purchase contract issued by Dynegy (each, a “Purchase Contract”), pursuant to which Dynegy will deliver to the holder, not later than July 1, 2019 (subject to postponement in certain limited circumstances), unless earlier redeemed or settled, not more than 6.1996 shares of Dynegy Common Stock and not less than 5.0201 shares of Dynegy Common Stock per Purchase Contract based upon the applicable fixed settlement rate, and (ii) a senior amortizing note issued by Dynegy (each, an “Amortizing Note”), with an initial principal amount of $18.94911 that pays an equal quarterly cash installment of $1.7500 per Amortizing Note, which in the aggregate will be equivalent to a 7.00% cash payment per year with respect to each $100.00 stated amount of Units.

On April 9, 2018, the Company assumed the obligations of Dynegy as the issuer of the Units by executing (i) a First Supplement (the “PCA Supplement”) to the Purchase Contract Agreement, dated June 21, 2016 (the “Purchase Contract Agreement”), between Dynegy and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as purchase contract agent (in such capacity, the “Purchase Contract Agent”) and as trustee, providing for the assumption by the Company of Dynegy’s obligations with respect to the Purchase Contracts (which form a component part of the Units) and (ii) a Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Amortizing Note Supplement”) to the Indenture, dated June 21, 2016 (the “Amortizing Notes Indenture”), between Dynegy and the Trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated June 21, 2016 (the “Amortizing Notes First Supplemental Indenture”), between Dynegy and the Trustee, providing for the assumption by the Company of Dynegy’s obligations with respect to the Amortizing Notes (which form a component part of the Units).

The PCA Supplement also reflects the adjustment of the fixed settlement rates for the Purchase Contracts to reflect the Merger, which constitutes a Merger Event (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) under the Purchase Contract Agreement. As a result, the right to settlement of each Purchase Contract into Dynegy Common Stock was changed into a right of settlement into shares of common stock of the Company and, from and after the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), (i) the adjusted Minimum Settlement Rate (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) shall be 3.2731 shares of common stock of the Company and (ii) the adjusted Maximum Settlement Rate (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) shall be 4.0421 shares of common stock of the Company, in each case, subject to further adjustment from time to time as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement. This adjustment effectively changes the Reference Price (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) per share to $24.7393 from $16.13 and the Threshold Appreciation Price (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) to $30.5521 from $19.92, in each case, subject to further adjustment from time to time as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement. The Fundamental Change Early Settlement Rates (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) and Stock Prices (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) were also changed to reflect this adjustment.

A description of the Units is contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Dynegy filed with the SEC on June 21, 2016 (the “June 2016 Form 8-K”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Units are and will continue to be listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “DYNC”. The separate Purchase Contracts and Amortizing Notes are not listed on any securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system.

The foregoing summary of the Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Contracts and the Amortizing Notes), the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Amortizing Notes Indenture (as supplemented by the Amortizing Notes First Supplemental Indenture) does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase Contract Agreement (a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the June 2016 Form 8-K), the text of the Amortizing Notes Indenture (a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the June 2016 Form 8-K), the text of the Amortizing Notes First Supplemental Indenture (a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the June 2016 Form 8-K), the text of the PCA Supplement (a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.5 to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on April 9, 2018 by the Company relating to the Units) and the text of the Amortizing Note Supplement (a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on April 9, 2018 by the Company relating to the Units), each of which document is incorporated herein by reference.

On the Closing Date, the Company completed the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

At the Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Dynegy Common Stock, other than shares owned by the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries, held in treasury by Dynegy or held by a wholly owned subsidiary of Dynegy, was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.652 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Vistra Energy Common Stock”, and such ratio of Dynegy Common Stock to Vistra Energy Common Stock, the “Exchange Ratio”).


As of the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding Dynegy stock option was automatically converted into an option to purchase shares of Vistra Energy Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions that were applicable under such Dynegy stock option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (including any accelerated vesting provisions), equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Dynegy Common Stock subject to such Dynegy stock option and (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Vistra Energy Common Stock.

As of the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Dynegy Common Stock other than Dynegy phantom stock units (“Dynegy RSUs”) was automatically converted into a number of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Vistra Energy Common Stock (“Vistra RSUs”) equal to the product of (A) the number of Dynegy RSUs held by such holder immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, and remains outstanding on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such award prior to the Merger Effective Time (including any accelerated vesting provisions).

As of the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding Dynegy performance stock unit (a “Dynegy PSU”) was automatically converted into the right to receive from Vistra Energy, at the Merger Effective Time, a number of shares of Vistra Energy Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid by the surviving corporation to the holder) equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Dynegy Common Stock that would be payable in respect of such Dynegy PSU (1) in the case of Dynegy PSUs with respect to which the Merger Effective Time occurred after the first twelve months of the applicable performance period, (x) at the actual level of performance applicable to such portion of such Dynegy PSU that relates to total stockholder return, as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement, and (y) at the target level of performance applicable to such portion of such Dynegy PSU that relates to free cash flow, and (2) in the case of Dynegy PSUs with respect to which the Merger Effective Time occurred within the first twelve months of the applicable performance period, (x) at the target level of performance applicable to such portion of such Dynegy PSU that relates to total stockholder return, as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement, and (y) at the target level of performance applicable to such portion of such Dynegy PSU that relates to free cash flow, and (B) the Exchange Ratio.

As of the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding Dynegy phantom stock unit was automatically converted into phantom stock units relating to the number of shares of Vistra Energy Common Stock equal to the product of (A) one share of Dynegy Common Stock and (B) the Exchange Ratio, and remains outstanding on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

As of the Merger Effective Time, the number of hypothetical shares of Dynegy Common Stock credited to the company deferral account of each participant in Dynegy’s deferred compensation plan which company deferral account had an outstanding balance as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time was automatically converted into that number of hypothetical shares of Vistra Energy Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the total number of hypothetical shares of Dynegy Common Stock credited to such company deferral account and (B) the Exchange Ratio, and such company deferral account has the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such company deferral account immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement contained in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on October 31, 2017, and is incorporated by reference herein.
