Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, of Ameren Corporation (“Ameren”) for a discussion of the variance granted by the Illinois Pollution Control Board (“IPCB”) to Ameren Energy Resources Company, LLC (“AER”) in September 2012, and (ii) Note 2 – Divestiture Transactions and Discontinued Operations under Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements in Ameren’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, for a discussion of the transaction agreement between Ameren and Illinois Power Holdings, LLC (“IPH”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Dynegy, Inc., for a discussion of the divestiture of Ameren’s merchant generation business to IPH.

On November 21, 2013, the IPCB granted a variance (the “IPH Variance”) in favor of IPH with respect to certain SO2 emissions compliance dates contained in the Illinois Multi-Pollutant Standard. IPH, together with AER and AmerenEnergy Medina Valley Cogen, LLC, had jointly requested the IPH Variance in July 2013. Receipt of the IPH Variance was a condition to the consummation of Ameren’s divestiture of its merchant generation business to IPH, which is expected to be completed in December 2013.
