Explanation of Responses:

1. Balance includes shares acquired through dividend reinvestment.

2. FE's 401(k) Plan includes a unitized fund invested in FE stock, in which the reporting person may invest, which includes dividend reinvestment and company match features. The number of shares reported as indirectly held in the 401(k) Plan in this row is an estimate of the number of shares of FE's common stock held in the unitized stock fund and allocated to the reporting person's account as of March 31, 2015.

3. These amounts are performance-adjusted restricted stock units of which 50% of the total award is reflected in Table II. Of the total number of RSUs granted, 50% of the RSUs are subject to forfeiture if the performance goals are not met. The number of RSUs can be adjusted upward by an additional 50% of the total award if the 3-year goals are achieved. Includes restricted stock units acquired through dividend reinvestment.
