(the &#8220;Company&#8221;) has been engaged in substantive negotiations (the &#8220;Settlement Discussions&#8221;) with two groups of key FES creditors regarding a comprehensive resolution of claims among the FES Debtors and the Company.  The steering committee of one such group (the &#8220;FES Ad Hoc Noteholder Group&#8221;) collectively holds a majority in the aggregate of (i) the pollution control revenue bonds supported by notes issued by FirstEnergy Generation, LLC and FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC, and (ii) the senior notes issued by FES, and the other group (the &#8220;FES Mansfield Group&#8221;) holds a majority of pass-through certificates issued in connection with the sale-leaseback transaction for Unit 1 of the Bruce-Mansfield plant (the FES Mansfield Group and the FES Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, collectively, are referred to as the &#8220;FES Creditor Groups&#8221;).  During the course of the Settlement Discussions and subject to the terms of non-disclosure agreements that the Company entered into with certain members of the FES Creditor Groups, the Company provided the FES Creditor Groups with certain confidential information.  The Company and the FES Creditor Groups have reached an agreement in principle (the &#8220;Agreement in Principle&#8221;) to resolve certain claims by the Company against the FES Debtors and all claims by the FES Debtors and their creditors against the Company.  The Company and the FES Creditor Groups have commenced discussions with the FES Debtors (approval by FES Debtors&#8217; boards of directors ultimately required) and expect to engage with the official committee of unsecured creditors that was appointed in connection with the FES Debtors&#8217; chapter 11 cases with respect to the Agreement in Principle.  The Agreement in Principle is subject to, among other things, execution of definitive agreements, the approval by the boards of directors of the Company and Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC, and approval by the Bankruptcy Court.  In addition, the FES Mansfield Group&#8217;s support for the Agreement in Principle is subject to and conditioned upon the ultimate implementation of the agreement between the FES Creditor Groups concerning the treatment of certain Mansfield-related claims set forth on the term sheet attached to the summary of material terms of the Agreement in Principle described in the immediately following sentence  (the &#8220;Mansfield Claims Term Sheet&#8221;).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">A summary of the material terms of the Agreement in Principle (including the Mansfield Claims Term Sheet) is set forth on Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith and incorporated herein by reference thereto. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed &#8220;filed&#8221; for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company&#8217;s filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

(PJM)  wholesale energy and capacity markets and cost-of-service rates, as well as FERC&#8217;s compliance and enforcement activity, including compliance and enforcement activity related to North American Electric Reliability Corporation&#8217;s mandatory reliability standards; the uncertainties of various cost recovery and cost allocation issues resulting from American Transmission Systems, Incorporated's realignment into PJM; the ability to comply with applicable state and federal reliability standards and energy efficiency and peak demand reduction mandates; other legislative and regulatory changes, including the federal administration's required review and potential revision of environmental requirements, including, but not limited to, the effects of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan, Coal Combustion Residuals, Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and Mercury and Air Toxics Standards programs, including our estimated costs of compliance, Clean Water Act (CWA) waste water effluent limitations for power plants, and CWA 316(b) water intake regulation; changing market conditions that could affect the measurement of certain liabilities and the value of assets held in our pension trusts and other trust funds, and cause us and/or our subsidiaries to make additional contributions sooner, or in amounts that are larger, than currently anticipated; the impact of changes to significant accounting policies; the impact of any changes in tax laws or regulations, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, adopted December 22, 2017, or adverse tax audit results or rulings; the ability to access the public securities and other capital and credit markets in accordance with our financial plans, the cost of such capital and overall condition of the capital and credit markets affecting us and our subsidiaries; further actions that may be taken by credit rating agencies that could negatively affect us and/or our subsidiaries&#8217; access to financing, increase the costs thereof, letters of credit and other financial guarantees, and the impact of these events on the financial condition and liquidity of FirstEnergy Corp. and/or its subsidiaries; issues concerning the stability of domestic and foreign financial institutions and counterparties with which we do business; and the risks and other factors discussed from time to time in our United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and other similar factors.

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. These forward-looking statements are also qualified by, and should be read together with, the risk factors included in our filings with the SEC. The foregoing review of factors also should not be construed as exhaustive. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor assess the impact of any such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise, except as required by law, any forward-looking statements contained herein as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">3</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="s2ab1ee94a6174297a4855da764f7f43b"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;">SIGNATURE</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">April&#160;23, 2018</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:78.515625%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="2"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:58%;"></td><td style="width:42%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">&#160;FIRSTENERGY CORP.</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">&#160;Registrant</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:right;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">&#160;By:&#160;&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:middle;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:center;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">/s/&#160;Jason S.
