<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Before investing in the Notes you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information contained in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein or therein from our other filings with the SEC, to which we refer you for more detailed information on our business, industry, and financial and corporate
structure. These are risks we consider to be material to your decision whether to invest in the Notes. There may be risks that you view in a different way than we do, and we may omit a risk that we consider immaterial, but you consider important. If
any of the risks discussed below or in our documents incorporated by reference occur, our business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to our Business, Industry and Financial Structure </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For a discussion of these risks please see the risks disclosed and discussed in the sections entitled &#147;Risk Factors,&#148; and
&#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition&#148; in our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on
Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2020. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to this Offering </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We Must Rely on Cash from Our Subsidiaries to Make Payments on the Notes. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiaries and substantially all of our consolidated assets are held by our subsidiaries.
Accordingly, our cash flow and our ability to meet our obligations under the Notes are largely dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment of these earnings to us in the form of dividends. Our subsidiaries
are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the Notes or to make any funds available for payment of amounts due on the Notes. Some of our subsidiaries may require a disproportional commitment of our cash
flows. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we are a holding company, our obligations under the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future
liabilities of our subsidiaries. Therefore, our rights and the rights of our creditors, including the rights of the holders of the Notes, to participate in the liquidation of assets of any subsidiary will be subject to the prior claims of the
subsidiary&#146;s creditors. To the extent that we may be a creditor with recognized claims against any of our subsidiaries, our claims would still be effectively subordinated to any security interest in, or mortgages or other liens on, the assets
of the subsidiary and would be subordinated to any indebtedness, other liabilities, and preferred securities, of the subsidiary, that is senior to that held by us. As of March&nbsp;31, 2020, our subsidiaries had approximately $14.2&nbsp;billion of
indebtedness outstanding consisting of first mortgage bonds, senior notes, securitizations, promissory notes and obligations under bank credit facilities. Our subsidiaries have no preferred securities outstanding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We May Be Able to Issue Substantially More Debt, A Portion of Which Could Be Secured Debt. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture does not limit the amount of indebtedness we may issue; however, the limitation on liens provision of the Indenture does limit
the amount of secured debt that we may issue without ratably securing the Notes. In addition to liens expressly permitted under that provision of the Indenture, which is summarized in the accompanying prospectus, we are permitted by the Indenture to
pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or grant a security interest in, or permit any mortgage, pledge, security interest or other lien upon, capital stock of any subsidiary now or hereafter owned by us to secure aggregate indebtedness in an amount not to
exceed 10% of our consolidated net tangible assets. As of March&nbsp;31, 2020, our consolidated net tangible assets were $32.6&nbsp;billion. Consequently, as of March&nbsp;31, 2020, the Indenture would have allowed us to incur up to
$3.3&nbsp;billion of secured debt under this test. Such secured debt would be senior to the Notes and all other notes issued under the Indenture, all of which are currently unsecured. Notwithstanding this Indenture provision, we note that our
current revolving credit facility generally prohibits us, subject to certain exceptions, from pledging capital stock or limited liability interests in our subsidiaries. </P>

Notes, but it does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder and
administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This summary is limited to the tax consequences of those persons who are original beneficial
owners of the Notes, who purchase the Notes in this offering at their original issue price for cash and who hold such Notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code, who we refer to as &#147;Holders.&#148; This summary
assumes that the Notes are not issued with &#147;original issue discount&#148; of more than a de minimis amount as that term is defined in the Code and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;1.1273-1</FONT> of the Treasury Regulations. This
summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular Holders in light of their particular investment circumstances or status (such as the effects of Section&nbsp;451(b) of the Code
conforming the timing of certain income accruals for U.S. federal income tax purposes to financial statements), nor does it address specific tax consequences that may be relevant to particular persons (including, for example, banks, financial
institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities and investors therein, expatriates, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT>
organizations, &#147;controlled foreign corporations,&#148; &#147;passive foreign investment companies,&#148; United States Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S.&nbsp;Dollar or persons in special situations,
such as those who have elected to mark securities to market or those who hold the Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment). In addition, this summary does not address U.S. federal alternative
minimum, estate and gift tax consequences, consequences under the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, or consequences under any U.S. federal tax laws other than income tax law. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in this summary, and we cannot assure you that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This summary is for general information only. Prospective purchasers of the Notes are urged to consult their independent tax advisors
concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of acquiring, owning and disposing of the Notes, as well as the application of state, local and foreign tax laws and U.S. federal tax laws other than income tax law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of the following summary, &#147;United States Holder&#148; is a Holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i)&nbsp;a
citizen or individual resident of the U.S.; (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (iii)&nbsp;an estate, the income of which is
subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source; or (iv)&nbsp;a trust, if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust&#146;s administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all
its substantial decisions or if a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person is in effect with respect to such trust. A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;Non-United</FONT> States Holder&#148; is a Holder that is neither a United States
Holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes will hold the Notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Any entity or arrangement that is classified for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as a partnership and that will own Notes, and any partners of such partnership, are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Notes. </P>

vehicles and other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities generally must comply with certain information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or confront a withholding tax on U.S.-source payments
made to them (whether received as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary for another party). A foreign financial institution or such other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA reporting requirements will generally be subject to a 30%
withholding tax with respect to any &#147;withholdable payments.&#148; For this purpose, withholdable payments generally include U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax (e.g., U.S.-source interest) and also include the
entire gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any debt instruments of U.S. issuers, even if the payment would otherwise not be subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., because it is capital gain). Under the applicable final
Treasury Regulations, withholding under FATCA will generally apply to payments of interest and gross proceeds on the Notes. However, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that would eliminate the application of this regime with respect to
payments of gross proceeds (but not interest). Pursuant to these proposed Treasury Regulations, we and any other applicable withholding agent may (but are not required to) rely on this proposed change to FATCA withholding until final regulations are
issued or until such proposed Treasury Regulations are rescinded. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. </P>

other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into
transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect
future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at

the provisions of statutory or common law, and are qualified in their entirety by express reference to our Amended Articles of Incorporation and Amended Code of Regulations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are authorized by our Amended Articles of Incorporation to issue 700,000,000&nbsp;shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share. The
common stock outstanding is, and the common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus will be, fully paid and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-assessable.</FONT> We are also authorized by our Amended Articles of Incorporation to issue
5,000,000&nbsp;shares of preferred stock, par value $100 per share, of which 1,616,000 shares have been designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Amended Articles of Incorporation give our board of directors authority to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more classes
or series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock that we choose to issue, including, without limitation, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of
redemption and liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting each such series. Such preferred stock could be issued with terms that could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of FirstEnergy. Prior to the issuance of a new
series of preferred stock, we will amend our Amended Articles of Incorporation, designating the stock of that series and the terms of that series. We will describe the terms of the preferred stock in the prospectus supplement for such offering and
will file a copy of the amendment to our Amended Articles of Incorporation establishing the terms of the preferred stock with the SEC. On January&nbsp;22, 2018, we issued shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and amended our Amended

the holders of the common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock participates in declared dividends on the common stock on
an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">as-converted</FONT> basis based on the number of shares of common stock a holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would receive if its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted on the
dividend record date at the Conversion Price (as defined in our Amended Articles of Incorporation) in effect at that time. Such dividends will be paid at the same time that the dividends on common stock are paid. </P>

of directors will declare a dividend. Future dividends will depend on our future earnings and the ability of our regulated subsidiaries to pay cash dividends to us, which are subject to certain regulatory limitations and also subject to charter and
contractual limitations for some of those subsidiaries that may, in general, restrict the amount of retained earnings available for these dividends. These limitations, however, do not currently materially restrict payment of these dividends. </P>

available for distribution after payment in full of all of our liabilities. Shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock immediately prior to a bankruptcy or liquidation in accordance with

shareholder&#148; is defined as a shareholder who, directly or indirectly, exercises or directs the exercise of 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. </P>

of the interested shareholder&#146;s acquisition of shares of the corporation prior to the date that the shareholder became an interested shareholder, approval by disinterested shareholders of the corporation or the transaction meeting certain
statutorily defined fair price provisions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Section&nbsp;1701.831 of the ORC, unless the articles of incorporation, the regulations

Company, N.A., as successor trustee. The indenture gives us broad authority to set the particular terms of each series of debt securities, including the right to modify certain of the terms contained in the indenture. The particular terms of a
