Exelon Launches Exchange Offer for NRG Energy, Inc.

CHICAGO (Nov. 12, 2008) — Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) announced today that it has launched an exchange offer for all of the outstanding shares of NRG Energy, Inc. common stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.485 Exelon shares for each NRG share and that the company has filed a prospectus/offer to exchange on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Exelon said its exchange offer ensures that NRG investors have the opportunity to consider for themselves the merits of Exelon’s proposal. Exelon remains hopeful that NRG will ultimately recognize the value of working with Exelon in a direct and constructive fashion to complete this strategic transaction in a way that is tax-efficient, minimizes regulatory hurdles, and produces the greatest value for shareholders of both companies.

The exchange offer will be subject to customary conditions, including the tender of a majority of NRG shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis. The exchange offer was launched today by publication of the offer in the financial press. NRG shareholders will be receiving a copy of the complete exchange offer document shortly following receipt of a shareholder list from NRG. The exchange offer document will fully detail the conditions and required regulatory approvals needed to complete the transaction. The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. eastern time on January 6, 2009.

Shareholder questions regarding the exchange offer or requests for offering materials should be directed to Exelon’s Information Agent for the exchange offer, Innisfree M&A Incorporated, toll-free at 877-750-9501.
