<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;19, 2017, FirstEnergy Corp. (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into an underwriting agreement, dated June&nbsp;19, 2017 (the &#147;Underwriting
Agreement&#148;), with Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner&nbsp;&amp; Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the
&#147;Underwriters&#148;), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters $3.0&nbsp;billion, in the aggregate, of its senior notes in three separate series (i) $500&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of the
Company&#146;s 2.85% Notes, Series A, due 2022 (the &#147;Series A Notes&#148;), (ii) $1.5&nbsp;billion aggregate principal amount of the Company&#146;s 3.90% Notes, Series B, due 2027 (the &#147;Series B Notes&#148;) and (iii) $1.0&nbsp;billion
aggregate principal amount of the Company&#146;s 4.85% Notes, Series C, due 2047 (the &#147;Series C Notes&#148; and, together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the &#147;Notes&#148;). The Notes are registered under the Company&#146;s
automatic shelf registration statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-3</FONT> (File <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-204422)</FONT> which was filed and became effective on May&nbsp;22, 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company received net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes of approximately $2.96&nbsp;billion after deducting the underwriters&#146; discount and
estimated expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay its 2.75% Notes, Series A, due 2018, and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of its short-term borrowings under its revolving
credit facility, which borrowings were used for working capital. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Series A Notes will mature on July&nbsp;15, 2022, the Series B Notes will mature on
July&nbsp;15, 2027, and the Series C Notes will mature on July&nbsp;15, 2047. The Notes will initially bear interest at the rates set forth above but are subject to adjustment if a credit rating assigned to the Notes is downgraded (or subsequently
upgraded). Interest on the Notes is payable on July&nbsp;15 and January&nbsp;15 of each year, beginning on January&nbsp;15, 2018 until their respective maturity. The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part from time to time, at the Company&#146;s
option, prior to the date that is two months prior to maturity for the Series A Notes, the date that is three months prior to maturity for the Series B Notes and the date that is six months prior to maturity for the Series C Notes, at a
&#147;make-whole&#148; redemption price. After the date that is two months prior to maturity for the Series A Notes, the date that is three months prior to maturity for the Series B Notes and the date that is six months prior to maturity for the
Series C Notes, the Notes are redeemable at par. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued on June&nbsp;21, 2017 under an Indenture, dated as of November&nbsp;15, 2001, as
amended (the &#147;Indenture&#148;), by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;). The disclosure in this Item 8.01 is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of
the Indenture, the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, the form of Series A Note, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto, the form of Series B Note, which is filed as Exhibit 4.3 hereto, and the form of Series C Note, which

statements based on information currently available to management. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These statements include declarations regarding management&#146;s intents, beliefs and current expectations. These
statements typically contain, but are not limited to, the terms &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;target,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148;
&#147;project,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;plan&#148; and similar words. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, which may include the following: the ability to experience growth in the Regulated Distribution and
Regulated Transmission segments and the effectiveness of our strategy to transition to a fully regulated business profile; the accomplishment of our regulatory and operational goals in connection with our transmission investment plan, including, but
not limited to, our planned transition to forward-looking formula rates; changes in assumptions regarding economic conditions within our territories, assessment of the reliability of our transmission system, or the availability of capital or other
resources supporting identified transmission investment opportunities; the ability to accomplish or realize anticipated benefits from strategic and financial goals, including, but not limited to, the ability to continue to reduce costs and to
successfully execute our financial plans designed to improve our credit metrics and strengthen our balance sheet through, among other actions, our cash flow improvement plan and other proposed capital raising initiatives; success of legislative and
regulatory solutions for generation assets that recognize their environmental or energy security benefits; the risks and uncertainties associated with the lack of viable alternative strategies regarding the Competitive Energy Services (CES) segment,
thereby causing FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (FES), and possibly FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC), to restructure its debt and other financial obligations with its creditors or seek protection under United States bankruptcy laws and the
losses, liabilities and claims arising from such bankruptcy proceeding, including any obligations at FirstEnergy Corp.; the risks and uncertainties at the CES segment, including FES and its subsidiaries and FENOC, related to continued depressed
wholesale energy and capacity markets, and the viability and/or success of strategic business alternatives, such as pending and potential CES generating unit asset sales, the potential conversion of the remaining generation fleet from competitive
operations to a regulated or regulated-like construct or the potential need to deactivate additional generating units; the substantial uncertainty as to FES&#146; ability to continue as a going concern and substantial risk that it may be necessary
for FES, and possibly FENOC, to seek protection under United States bankruptcy laws; the risks and uncertainties associated with litigation, arbitration, mediation and like proceedings, including, but not limited to, any such proceedings related to
vendor commitments, such as long-term fuel and transportation agreements; the uncertainties associated with the deactivation of older regulated and competitive units, including the impact on vendor commitments, such as long-term fuel and
transportation agreements, and as it relates to the reliability of the transmission grid, the timing thereof; the impact of other future changes to the operational status or availability of our generating units and any capacity performance charges
associated with unit unavailability; changing energy, capacity and commodity market prices including, but not limited to, coal, natural gas and oil prices, and their availability and impact on margins; costs being higher than anticipated and the
success of our policies to control costs and to mitigate low energy, capacity and market prices; replacement power costs being higher than anticipated or not fully hedged; our ability to improve electric commodity margins and the impact of, among
other factors, the increased cost of fuel and fuel transportation on such margins; the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of the capital expenditures that may arise in connection with any litigation, including New Source Review litigation, or
potential regulatory initiatives or rulemakings (including that such initiatives or rulemakings could result in our decision to deactivate or idle certain generating units); changes in customers&#146; demand for power, including, but not limited to,
changes resulting from the implementation of state and federal energy efficiency and peak demand reduction mandates; economic or weather conditions affecting future sales and margins such as a polar vortex or other significant weather events, and
all associated regulatory events or actions; changes in national and regional economic conditions affecting us, our subsidiaries and/or our major industrial and commercial customers, and other counterparties with which we do business, including fuel
suppliers; the impact of labor disruptions by our unionized workforce; the risks associated with cyber-attacks and other disruptions to our information technology system that may compromise our generation, transmission and/or distribution services
and data security breaches of sensitive data, intellectual property and proprietary or personally identifiable information regarding our business, employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, business partners and other individuals in our data
