On July 22, 2021, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio (“USAO-SDOH”) charged FirstEnergy Corp. by Information with Conspiracy to Commit Honest Services Wire Fraud and entered a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with FirstEnergy Corp. (Doc. 1, 3.) The DPA included a provision under which FirstEnergy Corp. was required to perform certain obligations for three years. (Doc. 3, PageID 60, 67.)1 The USAO-SDOH has determined that FirstEnergy Corp. has successfully completed those required obligations. For example, FirstEnergy Corp. has undertaken remedial measures and implemented a compliance and ethics program designed to detect and deter violations of U.S. law as required by the DPA. Consequently, FirstEnergy Corp.’s annual reporting obligations, as detailed in DPA Attachment C, and its obligations set forth in DPA paragraphs 5 (B), (C), (E), and (F), will end within 30 days of July 22, 2024. (See id.)

1 “Within thirty (30) days of the successful completion of the Term, FirstEnergy’s obligations pursuant to paragraphs 5 (B), (C) (E) and (F) will end. FirstEnergy’s remaining obligations under paragraph 5 will continue until the completion of any investigation, criminal prosecution, or civil proceeding brought by the USAO-SDOH related to any conduct set forth in the Statement of Facts.” (Id. at PageID 67.)
