style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On June 23, 2016, The AES Corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) addressed a June 20, 2016 ruling by the Supreme Court of Ohio.  On that date, the court issued an opinion in the appeal of the current electric security plan of The Dayton Power and Light Company (&#8220;DP&amp;L&#8221;), the principal subsidiary of DPL Inc. (&#8220;DPL&#8221; and, together with DP&amp;L, the &#8220;Subsidiaries&#8221;), which had been approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (&#8220;PUCO&#8221;) for the years 2014-2016 (the &#8220;ESP&#8221;) and which, among other matters, permitted DP&amp;L to collect a non-bypassable service stability rider equal to approximately $9.2 million per month for each of those years.  In the attached opinion, the court stated briefly, without expanding upon the basis, that the PUCO&#8217;s approval of the ESP was reversed on the authority of one of the court&#8217;s prior rulings in a separate case not involving the Subsidiaries.    </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under Supreme Court of Ohio rules, the court is expected to issue a mandate with respect to its ruling within 10 days of the date that the opinion was issued, which may provide clarity on the Subsidiaries&#8217; options in response to the ruling.   If such options prove to be unavailable, the loss of the service stability rider is expected to have a material impact on the Company.  However, the Subsidiaries do not pay dividends to the Company and therefore, the loss of the service stability rider would not impact expectations for Parent Free Cash Flow. The Company&#8217;s 2016 guidance and 2017-18 expectations were provided on May 9, 2016 and are not being updated at this time.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Additional information about DP&amp;L&#8217;s February 22, 2016 filing with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio for a new electric security plan beginning January 1, 2017, is included in the Annual Report on 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those related to future earnings, growth and financial and operating performance. Forward-looking statements are not intended to be a guarantee of future results, but instead constitute AES&#8217; current expectations based on reasonable assumptions. Forecasted financial information is based on certain material assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, our accurate projections of future interest rates, commodity price and foreign currency pricing, continued normal levels of operating performance and electricity volume at our distribution companies and operational performance at our generation businesses consistent with historical levels, as well as achievements of planned productivity improvements and incremental growth investments at normalized investment levels and rates of return consistent with prior experience.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Actual results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements due to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Important factors that could affect actual results are discussed in AES&#8217; filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;), including, but not limited to, the risks discussed under Item&#160;1A &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; and Item&#160;7: Management&#8217;s Discussion&#160;&amp; Analysis in AES&#8217; 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
