     AMEREN CORPORATION, ET AL.    (70-[___])
     --------------------------

     Ameren Corporation ("Ameren"), a registered holding company whose principal
executive offices are at 1901 Chouteau Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103, and
its direct and indirect wholly-owned non-utility subsidiaries, Union Electric
Development Corporation ("UEDC") and CIPSCO Investment Company ("CIC"), of the
same address, have filed an application-declaration in this proceeding
designating Section 9(c)(3) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended (the "Act"), as applicable to the proposed transactions. Ameren's
public-utility subsidiaries are Union Electric Company and Central Illinois
Public Service Company, which together serve approximately 1.5 million electric
and 300,000 retail gas customers in portions of Missouri and Illinois, including
St. Louis.


                                        1



     Ameren, through UEDC and CIC, or one or more other non-utility subsidiaries
formed specifically for such purpose, requests authority to invest up to $125
million in total from time to time through December 31, 2006 in existing or new
low-income housing projects, historic building or other qualified rehabilitated
building projects, and/or "brownfield" remediation projects (collectively, "Tax
Credit Projects") that qualify or are expected to qualify for Federal and/or
State tax credits. Ameren will not take any active role in the development,
management or operation of any Tax Credit Project and will not acquire any
interest in any venture holding a Tax Credit Project if, as a result thereof,
such venture would become an "affiliate" of Ameren. Ameren and its subsidiaries
will, however, conduct appropriate due diligence activities in connection with
making investments and manage such investments in order to protect the tax
credits that each Tax Credit Project is entitled to and to assure that the
physical properties are properly maintained. These activities will include
reviewing and analyzing financial statements generated by the general partners,
managing member or third-party property manager against the approved budget for
the investments and conducting due diligence assessments to determine that the
properties remain in compliance with the provisions of all applicable Federal
and State regulations. Investment management in this context may also include
on-site inspections to determine that the physical structures and grounds are
maintained as quality affordable housing.

     The applicants state that, in general, a separate limited partnership or
manager-managed LLC would be established for each new qualifying Tax Credit
Project. This structure will allow for financing each Tax Credit Project on a
stand-alone basis under the control of an unaffiliated third party, insulate
each investment property from any liabilities that may arise in connection with
the development or management of any other Tax Credit Project, and facilitate
compliance with the requirements of Sections 42 of the Internal Revenue Code
("Code") (as applicable to low income housing properties) and Section 47 of the
Code (as applicable to certified historic structures and other qualified
rehabilitated buildings), or other laws.

     The applicants state that the low income housing tax credit ("LIHTC")
program provides Ameren a major incentive to invest in low-income housing
projects by generating a stream of tax credits that would reduce Ameren's
federal and state income tax liability. Under the LIHTC program, equal annual
tax credits are available over a ten-year period payable over eleven years, with
the first and last years prorated. Under Section 42(h)(6)(A) of the Code, no
credit is allowed for any taxable year unless an agreement between the housing
project owner and the applicable state housing credit agency is in effect as of
the end of such taxable year. Furthermore, pursuant to Sections 42(h)(6)(B)(i),
42(h)(6)(D) and 42(h)(6)(E)(ii) of the Code, such an agreement must prohibit any
increase in gross rent for a period ending on the later of (a) the date
specified by such agency in the agreement or (b) 15 years after the date when
the building is placed in service. Thus, even though the flow of tax credits for
an LIHTC property stops after ten years, the property remains subject to rent
and income restrictions for at least fifteen years.

     Likewise, Ameren seeks to earn tax credits under Section 47 of the Code
through investments in "certified historic structures" (defined as structures


                                        2



that are either listed in the National Register or located in a registered
historic district and certified by the Secretary of the Interior as being of
historic significance), as well as other types of "qualified rehabilitated
buildings" (which could include apartment and office buildings, factories,
warehouses, etc.) that were first placed in service before 1936. The tax credit
is based on the qualified rehabilitation expenditures, as defined under the Code
and regulations. It is equal to 20% in the case of "certified historic
structures" and 10% in the case of other rehabilitated buildings. These credits
are subject to possible recapture if the rehabilitated property is transferred
before five years after it is placed in service. In addition to the federal tax
credits, Ameren may also qualify for tax credits that are available under state
law (including in Missouri) with respect to investments in historic building
rehabilitation projects.

     In addition, Ameren also may obtain state income tax credits under
Section 447 of the Missouri State Tax Code through qualified investments in
so-called "brownfield" sites that require environmental remediation in order to
extend the useful life of a business property. The tax credit is based on a
combination of qualified expenditures for environmental remediation and job
creation by the businesses that occupy the renovated properties, as defined in
the tax regulations. The credit is equal to 2.1% of the qualified investment in
purchased or leased real estate or purchased or leased equipment per year, and
is cumulative. Ameren requests authority to make passive investments in projects
qualifying for these tax credits in Missouri or similar credits that may be
available from time to time under the laws of other States in which Ameren or
its subsidiaries have a state income tax liability.

     The applicants state that no State commission and no Federal commission,
other than this Commission, has jurisdiction over the proposed transactions.
