Item 8.01.
Other Events

Reference is made to page 53 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended June 30, 2010 of American Electric Power Company, Inc. (the “Company”), under the discussion subtitled “Enron Bankruptcy”.  The following text updates and supplements that disclosure.

In an order issued October 29, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”) affirmed the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York’s decision (“District Court Decision”) as to the final judgment of $346 million ($445 million, including accrued interest through June 30, 2010).  A liability related to the outcome of this uncertainty was recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on the Company’s June 30, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This decision has no impact on the Company’s earnings for 2010.

The Court of Appeals also reversed the District Court Decision as to the judgment dismissing our claims of breach of contract, fraud and negligent misrepresentation against Bank of America in the proceeding in the District Court for the Southern District of Texas. We intend to pursue these claims in the District Court in Texas.
