ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

 

On May 21, 2003, Dynegy Inc. (“Dynegy”) entered into agreements (the “Agreements”) with Southern Power Company (“Southern”) and one of its affiliates to terminate three power tolling arrangements among the parties. Pursuant to the Agreements, which relate to the Dahlberg, Daniel and Goat Rock projects, Dynegy made cash payments to Southern and its affiliates aggregating $155 million. In return, two of the power tolling arrangements were terminated effective May 21, 2003; the third such arrangement terminates effective October 31, 2003, and Dynegy is no longer required to make capacity payments under this arrangement for capacity made available from June 2003 through October 2003. Dynegy also deposited $7 million as collateral for its continuing obligations under this third arrangement, and had returned to it approximately $96 million in existing letters of credit that previously supported its obligations under all three arrangements.

 

As indicated in its Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed on May 2, 2003 (the “May 2nd Form 8-K”), these terminations eliminate Dynegy’s obligation to make $1.7 billion in capacity payments to Southern and its affiliates through the year 2030. Please read the May 2nd Form 8-K for further discussion of Dynegy’s commercial financial obligations after giving effect to these terminations.
