Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 13, 2017, DPL Inc. (“DPL”) and The Dayton Power and Light Company (“DP&L”), a subsidiary of DPL and The AES Corporation (“AES”), entered into an Amended Stipulation and Recommendation (the “Amended Settlement”) with various intervening parties and the Staff of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (“PUCO”) with respect to DP&L’s electric security plan pending at the PUCO. The Amended Settlement amends a prior Stipulation and Recommendation (the “Original Settlement”), which had been entered into on January 30, 2017, with various intervening parties, and previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by DPL and DP&L with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2017.

The Amended Settlement is subject to, and conditioned upon, approval by the PUCO. In addition to addressing energy rates, riders and other matters, the Amended Settlement also includes certain other commitments. The Amended Settlement would provide for a six-year electric security plan and, in addition to other items, provides for, or requires, the following:

• Bypassable standard offer energy rates for DP&L’s customers based on competitive bid auctions.

• A three-year non-bypassable Distribution Modernization Rider designed to collect $105 million in revenue per year to pay debt obligations at DPL and DP&L and position DP&L to modernize and/or maintain its transmission and distribution infrastructure, with an option for DP&L to file for an extension of the rider for an additional two years in an amount to be subsequently approved by the PUCO.

• A non-bypassable Distribution Investment Rider to recover incremental distribution capital investments.

• DP&L to transfer its generation assets and non-debt liabilities (the “Generation Separation Transaction”) to AES Ohio Generation, LLC, a subsidiary of DPL and affiliate of DP&L (“AES Ohio Gen”), within 180 days of the PUCO’s approval of the Amended Settlement, subject to approval of the Federal Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). DP&L’s application filed with the FERC to complete the Generation Separation Transaction is pending as of the time this report is filed.

• DP&L (or its affiliate, in light of the proposed Generation Separation Transaction) to commence a sale process to sell its ownership interests in the following coal-fired generating plants to a third party, and for all sale proceeds to be used to pay debt of DPL and DP&L: (i) Zimmer - Unit 1, (ii) Miami Fort - Units 7 and 8; and (iii) Conesville - Unit 4. DP&L co-owns each of these coal-fired generating plants and the sale of a plant is subject to agreement by all the co-owners of the plant and FERC approval.

• Restrictions on DPL making dividend payments to AES or AES Ohio Gen or tax-sharing payments to AES, and an obligation to convert existing tax payments owed by DPL to AES, and similar tax payments that accrue during the term of the electric security plan, into equity investments in DPL.

• The threshold for DP&L’s Significantly Excessive Earnings Test, which measures DP&L’s earnings to determine whether there have been significantly excessive earnings during a

given calendar year, to continue to be 12% during the term of the electric security plan.

• DP&L to implement a Smart Grid Rider, Economic Development Rider, Economic Development Fund, Reconciliation Rider, Regulatory Compliance Rider and certain other new, or changes to existing, riders and tariffs and competitive retail market enhancements.

Certain parties to the Amended Settlement are customers, or are organizations representing customers, of DP&L.

The foregoing description of the Amended Settlement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Settlement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. DP&L’s electric security plan docket, which includes copies of the Amended Settlement and Original Settlement, is available at the website of the PUCO at www.puco.ohio.gov by searching Case No. 16-0395-EL-SSO. The information on the website of the PUCO is not incorporated herein.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 14, 2017, DP&L issued a press release announcing the Amended Settlement. A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. Such information is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.

In connection with any sale of generation plants as contemplated by the Amended Settlement or otherwise, DPL and DP&L would expect to incur certain cash and non-cash charges, some or all of which could be material to the business and financial condition of DPL and DP&L.
