In 2014, the PUCT determined that Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) was excluded from the Turk Plant&#8217;s Texas Capital Cost Cap and that decision was upheld by the Texas District Court in 2017. Subsequently, intervenors filed appeals with the Texas Third Court of Appeals.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:72pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">On August 11, 2021, the Texas Third Court of Appeals reversed the Texas District Court&#8217;s judgment affirming the PUCT&#8217;s order on AFUDC, concluding that the language of the PUCT&#8217;s original 2008 order included AFUDC in the Texas Capital Cost Cap, and remanded the case to the PUCT for further proceedings.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:72pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Following the remand of the case to the PUCT, SWEPCo, certain intervenors and PUCT Staff filed a list of recommended issues, including issues related to the Texas Capital Cost Cap and potential revenue refunds, to be addressed in the remand proceeding.  On December 14, 2023, the PUCT approved a preliminary order stating the PUCT will not address SWEPCo&#8217;s request that would allow the PUCT to find cause to allow SWEPCo to exceed the Texas Capital Cost Cap in the current remand proceeding.  As a result of the PUCT&#8217;s approval of the preliminary order, SWEPCo believes it is probable the PUCT will disallow capitalized AFUDC in excess of the Texas Capital Cost Cap and anticipates recording a pretax, non-cash disallowance ranging from $80 million to $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Although SWEPCo does not currently believe any refunds are probable of occurring, SWEPCo estimates it could be required to make customer refunds, including interest, ranging from $0 million to $200 million related to revenues collected from February 2013 through December 2023.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:72pt"><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Item 7.01.

Although AEP and Southwestern Electric Power Company believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changes in economic conditions, electric market demand and demographic patterns in AEP service territories; the impact of pandemics and any associated disruption of AEP&#8217;s business operations due to impacts on economic or market conditions, costs of compliance with potential government regulations, electricity usage, supply chain issues, customers, service providers, vendors and suppliers; the economic impact of increased global trade tensions including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the adoption or expansion of economic sanctions or trade restrictions; inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends; volatility and disruptions in the financial markets precipitated by any cause, including failure to make progress on federal budget or debt ceiling matters, particularly developments affecting the availability or cost of capital to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt; the availability and cost of funds to finance working capital and capital needs, particularly if expected sources of capital, such as proceeds from the sale of assets or subsidiaries, do not materialize, and during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material; decreased demand for electricity; weather conditions, including storms and drought conditions, and AEP&#8217;s ability to recover significant storm restoration costs; the cost of fuel and its transportation, the creditworthiness and performance of fuel suppliers and transporters and the cost of storing and disposing of used fuel, including coal ash and spent nuclear fuel;
