OTHER EVENTS. ------------- As previously reported, in October 1998, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission ("PaPUC") issued final orders ("Restructuring Orders") approving settlement agreements entered into by Metropolitan Edison Company ("Met-Ed") and Pennsylvania Electric Company ("Penelec") in their restructuring proceedings with all but two parties to the restructuring proceedings. Those two parties filed separate appeals with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court on various grounds. Met-Ed and Penelec subsequently settled with one appellant which then withdrew its appeal. On August 12, 1999, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, in a 5-2 decision, denied the remaining appeal filed by State Representative George and upheld the PaPUC's actions in issuing the Restructuring Orders. Among other things, the Commonwealth Court upheld the process used by the PaPUC in approving the settlement agreements underlying the restructuring orders and the related divestitures by Met-Ed and Penelec of their electric generating facilities. Met-Ed and Penelec do not know whether Rep. George will seek review of the Commonwealth Court's decision.
