STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In its Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011 and in subsequent periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, The AES Corporation (&#147;AES&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;)
disclosed that it had recorded substantial goodwill of $2.6 billion in connection with its acquisition of DPL Inc. (&#147;DPL&#148;) and that as a result of market conditions and other factors, there was a risk that the goodwill could be subject to
impairment. On October&nbsp;31, 2012, the Company concluded that it will recognize an estimated non-cash impairment charge related to the goodwill at DPL Inc. in the range of approximately $1.7 billion to $2.0 billion. The non-cash impairment charge
will not impact the Company&#146;s cash flows or cash balances and is not expected to result in any material future cash expenditures. The non-cash impairment charge represents the Company&#146;s best estimate of the impairment range based on the
latest information available and the results of the preliminary interim impairment test of goodwill and will be recognized as of September&nbsp;30, 2012 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Management expects to conclude
the interim impairment test of goodwill and finalize the estimation of the non-cash impairment charge with the submission of its December&nbsp;31, 2012 Form 10-K. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On October&nbsp;5, 2012, The Dayton Power and Light Company (&#147;DP&amp;L&#148;), DPL&#146;s wholly-owned regulated utility in Ohio, filed for approval an Electric Security Plan (&#147;ESP&#148;) with
the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio which reflects a shift in our outlook of the regulatory environment. Within the ESP filing, DP&amp;L has agreed to request a separation of its generation assets from its transmission and distribution assets in
recognition that a restructuring of DP&amp;L operations will be necessary, in compliance with Ohio law. Also, during 2012, North American natural gas prices fell significantly from the previous year, exerting downward pressure on wholesale
electricity prices in the Ohio power market. Falling power prices compressed wholesale margins at DP&amp;L. Furthermore, these lower power prices have led to increased customer switching from DP&amp;L to other competitive retail electric service
(&#147;CRES&#148;) providers, who are offering retail prices lower than DP&amp;L&#146;s current standard service offer. Also, several municipalities in DP&amp;L&#146;s service territory have passed ordinances allowing them to become government
aggregators and some municipalities have contracted with CRES providers, further contributing to the switching trend. Combined, these new developments have reduced DP&amp;L&#146;s forecasted profitability, operating cash flows, liquidity and may
impact DPL and DP&amp;L&#146;s ability to access the capital markets and maintain their respective current credit ratings in the future. Collectively, in the third quarter of 2012, these events were considered an interim impairment indicator for
DPL&#146;s goodwill. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Item&nbsp;5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;

and Reaffirms Guidance </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>ARLINGTON, VA, November&nbsp;1, 2012</B> &#150; The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) announced today that it will
restructure its corporate support and subsidiary business operations, in line with its strategy, which will result in additional cost savings. &#147;The changes we announce today build on what we started a year ago, as we continue to streamline the
organization to reflect our focus on platform expansions in fewer markets,&#148; said Andr&eacute;s Gluski, AES President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;Our goal is to&nbsp;minimize overhead and strengthen accountability, pulling all levers to
meet our commitments while achieving world class operations in every market we serve.&#148;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The reorganization will consolidate operations
into market-oriented strategic business units under one Chief Operating Officer (COO). These changes are expected to yield an additional $45 million of recurring cost savings, increasing total run rate savings to $145 million for 2014 as compared to
2011. Of this incremental $45 million in savings, $25 million will be achieved in 2013. In addition, one-time restructuring expenses are forecasted to be approximately $20 million from 2012 through 2013. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The new Global Operations organization will be led by Andrew Vesey, currently Executive Vice President and COO of Global Utilities. Ned Hall, Executive
Vice President and COO of Global Generation, intends to leave the Company by early next year. Also, as part of the reorganization, the Strategy group led by Gardner Walkup has been eliminated and its functions have been absorbed into the Corporate
Planning and Investment Committee teams. &#147;Ned made major contributions to AES over the last 24 years, particularly over the last few years, by spearheading our&nbsp;renewables and energy storage businesses,&#148; said Gluski. &#147;Gardner laid
the foundation for the focused strategy we are now implementing.&#148;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AES also disclosed a non-cash impairment charge in the range of $1.7 to
$2.0 billion related to goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of DPL Inc. (DPL). During 2012 power prices in Ohio trended downward, compressing margins as customers increasingly moved towards competitive retail electric services. On
October&nbsp;5, 2012, DPL&#146;s wholly owned regulated utility in Ohio filed for an Electric Security Plan with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. As a result of these developments, forecasted profitability and cash flow have been reduced and
related impaired goodwill has been estimated pending finalization by year-end.</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company reaffirmed its 2012 cash flow and Adjusted EPS
guidance at the low end of the range as previously disclosed, based on foreign exchange and commodity prices as of September&nbsp;30, 2012. &#147;Despite challenging market conditions, we continue to expect modest earnings growth next year,
following 17% to 21% growth this year,&#148; said Tom O&#146;Flynn, AES Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.&nbsp;&#147;We remain committed to delivering a competitive total shareholder return and will provide more color on the
impact of DPL and other factors to our total return target on our November&nbsp;7, 2012 earnings call.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>About AES </B></FONT></P>
