<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">The financial risks that FirstEnergy faces as a result of this ongoing energy transition are imminent and substantial. In fourth quarter of 2016, FirstEnergy reported an impairment charge of $9.2 billion as a result of the company&#8217;s determination that &#8220;the carrying value of long-lived assets of the competitive business were not recoverable.&#8221;<sup style="vertical-align: text-top; line-height: 1; font-size: smaller">1</sup> These types of impairments represent the classic example of a stranded asset, i.e., an asset that becomes economically unviable before the end of its original expected useful life. Although FirstEnergy has sold or deactivated 6,770 MWs of its competitive portfolio since 2012, it maintains 13,162 MWs, 46.6% of which is made up of coal-fired capacity.</div>

Historically, utility regulators regularly granted rate increases requested by utilities for coal operations.

In this way, climate change is creating direct pressure on coal-centric utilities like FirstEnergy.

FirstEnergy&#8217;s failure to successfully address recent market changes highlights the need for integrating better risk management tools and processes to ensure portfolio resilience. Conducting an analysis of the proposed and potential pathways for achieving the two-degree target, among others, will provide FirstEnergy and its investors with valuable information about the costs and financial risks associated with investing in particular types of reserves and resources.</div>
