DAYTON, Ohio, April 17, 2009 — DPL Inc. (NYSE: DPL) was selected this month as one of Forbes’ “100 Most Trustworthy Companies.”

The list highlights those companies that “have consistently shown transparent and conservative accounting practices and solid corporate governance and management,” according to Forbes.  DPL Inc., parent company of Dayton Power & Light, Inc. headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, was one of seven electric utilities that appeared on the list.  It was also one of 38 mid cap companies out of the 100.

“We are extremely proud to be acknowledged by Forbes and Audit Integrity as one of the top 100 most trustworthy companies,” said DPL president and CEO Paul Barbas.  “The board of directors, executive officers and employees have made values, integrity and trustworthiness a priority in all that we do at DPL, and it is great to have our efforts recognized.  We believe these core values are the foundation for our long term success.”

The list was compiled by an independent financial analytics firm based in Los Angeles, Audit Integrity, that assigns an accounting and governance risk score to more than 8,000 companies traded on U.S. exchanges.

According to Forbes, “To qualify for the roster, the 100 companies had to have market caps of $200 million or more at the time Audit Integrity prepared the list, AGR (Accounting and Governance Risk ) ratings of ‘conservative’ or ‘average’ over each of the last four quarters and no amended filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or material restatements over the last year. They also had to rank high in Audit Integrity’s Equity Risk Ranking, which indicates a positive forecast for equity returns.”
