Section 8 — Other Events.
Item 8.01. Other Events.

On February 8, 2006, Exelon Corporation (Exelon) and Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG) issued a joint press release including an update on the schedule for the review by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) of the proposed merger of PSEG and Exelon. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99 to this Report on Form 8-K. There are a number of regulatory approvals or other regulatory actions required to consummate the merger, including those described in previous Reports on Form 8-K.

Remaining regulatory reviews include the U.S. Department of Justice, among others. Exelon and PSEG now expect to complete all of the regulatory reviews and close the merger in the third quarter of 2006. It may occur earlier if a settlement is concluded and accepted by the NJBPU.

Although Exelon and PSEG believe that the expectations as to timing of the regulatory proceedings described above are reasonable, no assurances can be given as to the timing of the receipt of any required regulatory approvals or that all required approvals will be received.

NJ OAL Hearing Extended 30 Days

Will allow additional market power analysis by PJM

NEWARK, NJ (Feb. 8, 2006) — Exelon Corporation and Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) announced today that hearings at the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for the proposed merger of the two companies, currently pending at the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), have been extended 30 days. The extension will allow for a full discussion of the PJM Market Monitor’s analysis of asset sales by the companies, and the impact that those sales would have on market power. Hearings are now expected to conclude on March 27, 2006, but that date could be adjusted depending on the ability of the Market Monitor to respond to additional requests.

Scheduled dates for the New Jersey Administrative Law Judge’s initial decision and the final order from the NJBPU will be extended, but firm dates have not been set. Exelon and PSEG now expect the completion of all regulatory reviews and close of the merger to be pushed into the third quarter, although the merger could close earlier if a settlement is reached and accepted by the NJBPU.

“While we’re disappointed with the schedule delay, we fully appreciate the need to satisfactorily address market power concerns raised by the proposed merger,” said Elizabeth A. Moler, executive vice president, Exelon. “Both Exelon and PSEG continue to look forward to a timely completion of the merger.”
