 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our subsidiaries face various restrictions in their ability to distribute cash. Most of the
subsidiaries are obligated, pursuant to loan agreements, indentures or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recourse</FONT> financing arrangements, to satisfy certain restricted payment covenants or other conditions before they may make
distributions. Business performance and local accounting and tax rules may also limit dividend distributions. Subsidiaries in foreign countries may also be prevented from distributing funds as a result of foreign governments restricting the
repatriation of funds or the conversion of currencies. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and, unless they have expressly guaranteed The AES Corporation&#146;s indebtedness, have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay
any amounts due pursuant to such debt or to make any funds available whether by dividends, fees, loans or other payments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be unsecured general obligations of The AES Corporation, and therefore will be effectively subordinated to all of the secured
debt of The AES Corporation to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. As of March&nbsp;31, 2021, The AES Corporation had no secured debt. However, our revolving credit facility and our Senior Secured Notes Indenture each contain a
collateral reinstatement provision that would apply in the event that our senior unsecured debt securities are not rated investment grade by at least two rating agencies (without giving effect to third party credit enhancements). In any liquidation,
dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding, holders of our secured debt may assert rights against any assets securing such debt in order to receive full payment of their debt before those assets may be used to pay the holders of the notes.
To the extent that such assets cannot satisfy in full our secured debt, the holders of such secured debt would have a claim for any shortfall that would rank equally in right of payment with the notes. In such an event, we may not have sufficient
assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the notes. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks we could face would be magnified. The indenture governing the notes limits but does not prohibit The AES
Corporation from incurring additional secured debt and there are significant exceptions to this covenant. See <I>&#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Certain Covenants of AES&#151;Restrictions on Secured Debt</I>.&#148; </P>

Triggering Event</I>&#148;), we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes of each series at 101% of the principal amount of such series plus accrued and unpaid interest. The source of funds for any such repurchase of the notes
will be our available cash or cash generated from our subsidiaries&#146; operations or other sources, including borrowings, issuance of additional debt, sales of assets or sales of equity. We may not be able to satisfy our obligations to repurchase
the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event because we may not have sufficient financial resources to repurchase all of the notes of each series that are tendered upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. </P>

effect on the value of the notes, in the event that AES or its Subsidiaries incur additional debt, whether through recapitalizations or otherwise. In addition, holders of the notes may not be entitled to require AES to repurchase their notes in
certain circumstances involving a significant change in the composition of AES&#146; Board of Directors, including in connection with a proxy contest where AES&#146; Board of Directors does not endorse a dissident slate of directors but approves
them as directors. In this regard, a decision of the Delaware Chancery Court (not involving AES or its securities) considered a change of control provision of an indenture governing publicly traded debt securities substantially similar to the change
of control event described in clause (iii)&nbsp;of the definition of &#147;Change of Control.&#148; In its decision, the court noted that a board of directors may &#147;approve&#148; a dissident shareholder&#146;s nominees solely for purposes of
such an indenture provision; <I>provided</I> the board of directors determines in good faith that the election of the dissident nominees would not be materially adverse to the interests of the corporation or its stockholders (without taking into
consideration the interests of the holders of debt securities in making this determination). See the definitions for &#147;Change of Control Triggering Event&#148; and &#147;Change of Control&#148; below. With respect to a sale of assets, the phrase
&#147;all or substantially all,&#148; which appears in the definition of Change of Control, has not gained an established meaning. In interpreting this phrase, courts have made subjective determinations, considering such factors as the value of the
assets conveyed and the proportion of an entity&#146;s income derived from such assets. Accordingly, there may be uncertainty as to whether a holder can determine whether a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and can exercise any
remedies such holder may have upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event,

Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers&#146; securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries. All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream,
may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain persons take
physical delivery in definitive form of securities they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in
turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests,
may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests. </P>

intends to engage in a distribution of the new notes or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the new notes to be acquired pursuant to the exchange offers, such holder could not rely on the applicable

civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than any action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, which is hereinafter referred to as a &#147;derivative action&#148;) by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or is or was serving in such capacity or as an agent at the request of the Company for another entity, to the full extent authorized by Delaware law, against expenses (including,
but not limited to, attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. Agents of the Company may be similarly indemnified, at the

unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
