SUMMARY

OF MEETING WITH CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY (CP&L)

TO DISCUSS THEIR INTENT TO REQUEST STAFF APPROVAL FOR THE INDIRECT TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF OPERATING LICENSES FOR THEIR ROBINSON 2, BRUNSWICK 1 & 2 AND SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS TO CP&L HOLDINGS, INC.

This is a summary of the meeting with Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) conducted on September 14, 1999, at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) office in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting was for the licensee to discuss their intent to request NRC staff approval for the indirect transfer of their operating licenses to a holdings company. The meeting attendees are listed in the Enclosure.

Background and Project Schedule CP&L discussed their plans to create a holdings company for CP&L. Under the proposal, CP&L would become a wholly owned subsidiary of CP&L Holdings, Inc. CP&L Holdings, Inc., with a slightly different structure from the current company, will afford the licensee greater flexibility by providing clearer separation of regulated businesses from each other and from unregulated businesses. CP&L will operate its utility business as a subsidiary of the holdings company.

The formation of the new company will transfer, one-for-one, existing stockholders' shares of common stock to the holdings company, and will require approvals from the North Carolina Utilities Commission, the South Carolina Public Service Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, in addition to the NRC. Formation of the holdings company will require the indirect transfer of the NRC operating licenses for Brunswick Units 1 and 2, Harris, Robinson, and the license for the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Robinson. CP&L expects to submit its request for approval of the indirect license transfers (under 10 CFR 50.80) to the NRC later this week and requested that the review be completed by December 15, 1999.

According to CP&L representatives, the potential acquisition of Florida Progress Corporation is not part of the current application and will be addressed separately.
