Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an off-balance sheet arrangement of a registrant.

On June 23, 2006, KU completed a financing transaction involving the issuance of $50 million in long-term indebtedness. The indebtedness is represented by a $50 million, 30-year, unsecured loan from Fidelia Corporation (“Fidelia”), an indirect subsidiary of E.ON AG and an affiliate of KU, which will carry a 6.33% rate of interest. KU is using the proceeds in connection with distribution and transmission system upgrades or expansions and other capital projects, including pollution control faciities at its Ghent generating station.

As part of the transaction, KU entered into a Loan Agreement with Fidelia, under which agreement the Company has agreed to repay the loan by making principal and interest payments as and when due with respect to the indebtedness.

The Loan Agreement contains standard representations, covenants and events of default for arrangements of this type, including acceleration of indebtedness upon certain events of default. Events of default under the Loan Agreement or other transaction documents include a failure to punctually make payments associated with the loan when due; certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related conditions relating to the Company, and departure of the Company from the E.ON group.
