ITEM 8.01 Other Events.

Reference is made to Overview and Outlook under Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011, of registrant Ameren Corporation (“Ameren”) and its registrant subsidiary, Union Electric Company, doing business as Ameren Missouri (“Ameren Missouri”), for a discussion of Ameren’s plans to take actions to align its overall spending to be consistent with regulatory outcomes and economic conditions.

On October 21, 2011, Ameren announced that, as part of its efforts to reduce its operations and maintenance expenses, it is extending a voluntary separation offer to approximately 715 management and labor union-represented employees who are 58 years of age or older as of December 31, 2011. This program is being offered to eligible employees at Ameren Missouri and at Ameren Services Company. Employees who accept the separation offer will receive benefits consistent with Ameren’s standard management severance benefits. Employees must decide whether to accept the separation offer by December 22, 2011, and those accepting are expected to leave their employment by December 31, 2011.

 

 

This combined Form 8-K is being filed separately by Ameren Corporation and Union Electric Company (each a “registrant”). Information contained herein relating to any individual registrant has been filed by such registrant on its own behalf. No registrant makes any representation as to information relating to any other registrant.
