CEG Master Services Agreement
The Company, along with certain of its subsidiaries, is a party to the CEG Master Services Agreement, pursuant to which CEG and certain of its affiliates or third-party service providers provide certain services to the Company, including operational and administrative services, which include human resources, information systems, cybersecurity, external affairs, accounting, procurement and risk management services, in exchange for the payment of fees in respect of such services. Until January 1, 2025, the Company provided certain services to CEG under a separate Master Services Agreement, including accounting, internal audit, tax and treasury services, in exchange for the payment of fees in respect of such services.
On April 30, 2024, the CEG Master Services Agreement was amended and restated as a result of a reorganization effected by the Company pursuant to which all of the employees of the Company transferred to CEG as of January 1, 2025. On February 13, 2025, but effective as of January 1, 2025, the CEG Master Services Agreement was amended and restated again to engage CEG in a payroll sharing agreement, such that the Company directly bears all labor costs for certain employees of CEG who perform work on behalf of the Company. Under the amended and restated agreement, CEG and certain of its affiliates or third-party service providers continued providing the operational and administrative services outlined above, and, effective January 1, 2025, also began providing accounting, internal audit, tax, legal and treasury services to the Company, in exchange for the payment of fees in respect of such services. Certain independent functions of the Company are directed by the Corporate Governance, Conflicts and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors and paid for by the Company, while being administered by CEG.
The Company incurred net expenses of $6 million under the CEG Master Services Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $5 million under this agreement for each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, included in cost of operations in the consolidated statements of income. There was a balance of $5 million and zero due to CEG as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
