As detailed in Reference 1, commencing on May 9, 2022, Talen Energy Supply and certain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Chapter 11 Cases).
The need for NRC consent is based upon the comprehensive restructuring of Talen Energy as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Applicants, as identified in Reference 1, will update or supplement the Application as required.
In Reference 2, Applicants submitted a supplement to the Application to provide the NRC with updated information regarding the planned transaction. More specifically, the Applicants indicated that Talen Energy Supply made certain updates to its business plans as a result of developments in the Chapter 11 Cases, which resulted in changes to the pro forma projected income statement and cash flow statement for Susquehanna Nuclears share of SSES included in the Application. The Applicants also indicated in Reference 2 that they were considering the addition of two wholly-owned intermediate parents of Susquehanna Nuclear in the ownership structure.
Applicants are submitting the enclosed second Supplement to the Application (Second Supplement) to provide the NRC with updated information regarding the planned transaction, the Application, and the status of the Chapter 11 Cases. First, Applicants hereby notify the NRC that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas confirmed the Joint Plan of Reorganization on December 15, 2022. Second, upon further review of tax and other considerations, Applicants have determined not to proceed with the addition of two-wholly-owned intermediate parents of Susquehanna Nuclear in the ownership structure as identified in the First Supplement. Third, this Second Supplement notifies the NRC that, for certain reasons specified in its filing and related to the reorganization of Talen Energy Supply in the Chapter 11 Cases, the parent of Talen Energy Supply, Talen Energy Corporation, has itself filed a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, which is jointly administered with its subsidiary debtors Chapter 11 Cases. Fourth, Applicants inform the NRC of the names of the initial board members of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation, which were not known at the time of the Application. Finally, the Application stated that the Applicants did not expect that there would be a shareholders voting agreement among the expected shareholders of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation, but such shareholders have since determined to enter into one. The enclosed Second Supplement provides more information on each of these points, but none change the facts or conclusions regarding governance or control contained in the Application.

Enclosure 1 to PLA-8039 Page 1 of 4 Application for Order Approving Indirect Transfer of Licenses and Approving Conforming License Amendments Supplemental Information In Reference 1, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna Nuclear), acting on behalf of itself and certain Unsecured Creditors (as defined in Reference 1) of Talen Energy Supply, LLC (Talen Energy Supply) (collectively, the Applicants), submitted a request pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 10 CFR 50.80, and 10 CFR 72.50 for NRC consent to the indirect transfer of control of Susquehanna Nuclears interests in Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-14 and NPF-22 for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) Units 1 and 2, as well as the general license for the SSES Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).1 In addition, Applicants requested conforming administrative license amendments to reflect a change in the entity responsible for providing a financial support agreement to Susquehanna Nuclear.
As detailed in Reference 1, commencing on May 9, 2022, Talen Energy Supply and certain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Chapter 11 Cases).
The need for NRC consent is based upon the comprehensive restructuring of Talen Energy as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Applicants, as identified in Reference 1, will update or supplement the Application as required based on developments in the Chapter 11 Cases.
In addition, the Application stated that the Unsecured Creditors planned to take ownership of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation,2 a Delaware corporation, upon the completion of the reorganization. Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation in turn would own 100% of the membership interests in Talen Energy Supply, which in turn would own 100% of Susquehanna Nuclear.
In Reference 2, Applicants submitted a supplement to the Application to provide the NRC with updated information regarding the planned transaction. More specifically, Talen Energy Supply made certain updates to its business plans as a result of developments in the Chapter 11 Cases, which resulted in changes to the pro forma projected income statement and cash flow statement for Susquehanna Nuclears share of SSES included in the Application. The Applicants also 1
As noted in the Application, Allegheny Electric Cooperative owns a 10% share of SSES. There are no proposed changes to Allegheny Electric Cooperatives ownership share of SSES in this request.
2 As stated in the Application, Applicants expect that Reorganized Talen will be Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation. This outcome has been made more likely by the fact, addressed herein, that Talen Energy Corporation has now filed a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code.

Enclosure 1 to PLA-8039 Page 2 of 4 indicated in Reference 2 that they were considering the addition of two wholly-owned intermediate parents of Susquehanna Nuclear in the ownership structure.
Applicants are submitting this second Supplement to the Application (Second Supplement) to provide the NRC with updated information regarding the planned transaction, the Application, and the status of the Chapter 11 Cases. First, Applicants hereby notify the NRC that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court) confirmed the Joint Plan of Reorganization on December 15, 2022. Second, upon further review of tax and other considerations, Applicants have determined not to proceed with the addition of two-wholly-owned intermediate parents of Susquehanna Nuclear in the ownership structure as identified in the First Supplement. Third, this Second Supplement notifies the NRC that, for certain reasons specified in its filing and related to the reorganization of Talen Energy Supply in the Chapter 11 Cases, the parent of Talen Energy Supply, Talen Energy Corporation, has itself filed a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code and is jointly administered with the Chapter 11 Cases. Fourth, Applicants inform the NRC of the names of the initial board members of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation, which were not known at the time of the Application. Finally, the Application stated that the Applicants did not expect that there would be a shareholders voting agreement among the expected shareholders of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation, but such shareholders have since determined to enter into one (styled as a Stockholders Agreement). The enclosed Second Supplement provides more information on each of these points, but none change the facts or conclusions regarding governance or control contained in the Application. More information follows.
First, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Joint Plan of Reorganization on December 15, 2022.
The Bankruptcy Courts confirmation does not result in any material changes to the Application, but it is an essential step toward resolving the Chapter 11 Cases and toward effecting the indirect transfer of control set forth in the Application.
Second, Applicants indicated in Reference 2 that for tax and other considerations, Applicants were considering the addition of two wholly-owned intermediate parents of Susquehanna Nuclear in the ownership chain between it and Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation. Upon further review, Applicants have determined not to proceed with the addition of any intermediate parents of Susquehanna Nuclear in the ownership structure. Exhibit B to this Second Supplement replaces the existing Exhibit B - Updated Simplified Organization Chart (After Transaction) provided with Reference 2, and is included as Exhibit B to this Supplement. The post-transaction organization chart in Exhibit B to this Supplement is identical to the post-transaction organization chart in Exhibit B of Reference 1. The determination that no additional intermediate parents will be included in the Transaction does not change the facts regarding governance or control contained in the Application and is being provided for NRCs information and convenience only.

Enclosure 1 to PLA-8039 Page 3 of 4 Third, on December 12, 2022, after Reference 1 was submitted, Talen Energy Corporation filed a voluntary case under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of United States Code in the Bankruptcy Court.
The voluntary filing by Talen Energy Corporation was made, among other reasons, to support the emergence from bankruptcy of Susquehanna Nuclear, Talen Energy Supply, and the other participants in the Chapter 11 Cases. Talen Energy Corp.s entrance into bankruptcy does not alter the conclusions on control of SSES or the ISFSI set forth in the Reference 1 as it is expected to emerge from bankruptcy at the same time as the other debtors under the Plan.
Fourth, Reference 1 stated that members of the board of directors of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation were not yet known and that Applicants would file a supplement when the board members were identified. Applicants have now identified the independent directors who will serve on the board of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation along with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation.3 Exhibit C to this Supplement replaces Exhibit C - General Corporate Information Regarding NRC- Licensed Entities and their Corporate Parents provided with Reference 1.
Finally, Reference 1 stated that no shareholder voting agreements were anticipated for the Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation as part of the Plan. Since submitting Reference 1, however, Applicants have determined that Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation will have a Stockholders Agreement. The form of the Stockholders Agreement for Reorganized Talen Energy Corporation is included as Exhibit D to this Second Supplement. This Stockholders Agreement will become effective at the closing of the transactions that complete the emergence from bankruptcy. The Stockholders Agreement does not materially alter the facts regarding governance or control of licensed activities at SSES contained in the Application, as it relates primarily to certain information rights and drag-along rights for potential future transactions, which may be subject to a separate NRC review and consent prior to consummation. Therefore, the addition of the Stockholders Agreement does not materially change the conclusions the NRC must make to consent to the proposed transfers.
The enclosures to this Second Supplement provide replacements for the existing Exhibit C -
General Corporate Information Regarding NRC-Licensed Entities and their Corporate Parents (Redacted Version) provided with Reference 1, and Exhibit B - Updated Simplified Organization Chart (After Transaction) provided with Reference 2. The enclosures also provide Exhibit D - Stockholders Agreement. This Supplement includes a non-public, separately bound Addendum with Enclosure 1 Exhibits C (unredacted). The unredacted version of Exhibit C contains personally identifiable information, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Susquehanna Nuclear and Talen Energy Supply request that this information be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(a)(6).
3 As stated in the Application, each of the directors, other than the CEO, are independent directors, and no shareholder or group of shareholders has any allocated ability to select any individual director or group of directors.

(viii) Each Tag-along Seller shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Selling Stockholder.
