(a) The derivative asset and liability balances are presented net of counterparty credit considerations.
(b) Includes amounts for Ameren registrant and nonregistrant subsidiaries and intercompany eliminations.
(c) Generally, significant increases (decreases) in this input in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
(d) Generally, significant increases (decreases) in this input in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(e) Counterparty credit risk is only applied to derivative asset balances. Ameren, Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois, and Genco credit risk is only applied to derivative liability balances.
(f) Power valuations utilize visible third party pricing evaluated by month for peak and off-peak through 2015. Valuations beyond 2015 utilize fundamentally modeled pricing by month for peak and off-peak.
