  • ExpandingScale.Themergerwillcreateoneoftheleadingcompetitiveenergybusinessesbysize.ThemergerwillcreatethesecondlargestNorthAmericanenergycompanybyaggregatemarket capitalization(approximately$34billionasofApril27,2011)andthirdlargestNorthAmericanenergy companybyaggregateenterprisevalue(approximately$52billionasofApril27,2011).Themerger willalsocreatethenumberonecompetitiveenergyproductsandservicessupplierbyload (approximately165terawatt-hours)andcustomers(approximately35,000commercialandindustrial andmillionsofhouseholdsthroughretailandwholesalesales)across38states,theDistrictof Columbia,andtheCanadianprovincesofAlbertaandOntario,thesecondlargestelectricutility company(withapproximately6.6millioncustomers)andthelargestcompetitivepowergenerator (withmorethan34.4gigawattsofpowergenerationand226terawatt-hoursofexpectedoutput),

  • IncreasingtheStrengthoftheBalanceSheet.Relatedtotheexpandedscaleofthecombinedcompanynotedabove,thecombinedcompanywillhaveastrongerandlargerbalancesheetthanConstellation hasalone.Aftercompletionofthemerger,thecombinedcompanywillhaveapproximately$72billion inassetsandsubstantialcashflowfromoperations.Thestrongbalancesheetofthecombinedcompany willexpandopportunitiesforproductive,newcapitaldeployments,providegreaterandmorecost-efficientaccesstothecreditmarkets,supportthegrowthofthecompetitiveenergybusinessand provideastrongerandmorestableplatformforthebusinessduringnegativeeconomiccycles.The ConstellationboardalsoinquiredabouttheviewofConstellationsmanagementaboutthepossible effectsofthemergeronthecreditratingsofthecompanies.Inthisregard,Constellationsmanagement hadexpresseditsviewthatthecombinedcompanywouldbeexpectedtomaintainaninvestmentgrade ratingafterthemerger(andthecreditratingsofthecombinedcompanymaybebetterascomparedto Constellationscreditratings).
