CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT On February 5, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Board's Audit Committee, approved the engagement of the accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent public accountants to audit and certify the Company's financial statements for 2002, subject to ratification and approval by the shareholders of the Company. The services of the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who previously served as Great Plains Energy Incorporated's and Kansas City Power & Light Company's independent public accountants, were notified on February 8, 2002 that their services would be discontinued effective with the completion of the audit of the December 31, 2001 financial statements. The Company solicited bids from independent public accounting firms and the Audit Committee of the Board recommended a change of auditors after reviewing and evaluating the audit services offered by the accounting firms and the costs associated with such services. In connection with the audits of the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 and the subsequent interim period through February 25, 2002, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make references thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's reports on the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
