Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions (Exelon, Generation, PHI, Pepco and DPL)
Acquisition of James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Generating Station (Exelon and Generation)
On March 31, 2017, Generation acquired the 838 MW single-unit James A. FitzPatrick (FitzPatrick) nuclear generating station located in Scriba, New York from Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick LLC (Entergy) for a total purchase price of $289 million, which consisted of a cash purchase price of $110 million and a net cost reimbursement to and on behalf of Entergy of $179 million. As part of the acquisition agreements, Generation provided nuclear fuel and reimbursed Entergy for incremental costs to prepare for and conduct a plant refueling outage; and Generation reimbursed Entergy for incremental costs to operate and maintain the plant for the period after the refueling outage through the acquisition closing date. These reimbursements covered costs that Entergy otherwise would have avoided had it shut down the plant as originally intended in January 2017. The amounts reimbursed by Generation were offset by FitzPatrick's electricity and capacity sales revenues for this same post-outage period. As part of the transaction, Generation received the FitzPatrick NDT fund assets and assumed the obligation to decommission FitzPatrick. The NRC license for FitzPatrick expires in 2034. As of September 30, 2017, Generation had remitted purchase price consideration of $289 million (including $235 million of cash and $54 million of nuclear fuel) to and on behalf of Entergy.
The fair values of FitzPatrick’s assets and liabilities were determined based on significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including projected future cash flows (including timing), discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows and future power and fuel market prices. The valuations performed in the first quarter of 2017 to determine the fair value of the FitzPatrick assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminary. Accounting guidance provides that the allocation of the purchase price may be modified up to one year from the date of the acquisition to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
During the third quarter of 2017, certain modifications were made to the initial preliminary valuation amounts for acquired property, plant and equipment, the decommissioning ARO, pension and OPEB obligations and related deferred tax liabilities, resulting in a $3 million net increase in assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Additionally, in the third quarter a purchase price settlement payment of $4 million was received from Entergy. Consequently, Exelon and Generation recorded an additional after-tax bargain purchase gain of $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the after-tax bargain purchase gain of $233 million is included within Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and primarily reflects differences in strategies between Generation and Entergy for the intended use and ultimate decommissioning of the plant. There are no further adjustments expected to be made to the allocation of the purchase price. See Note 13 - Nuclear Decommissioning and Note 14 - Retirement Benefits for additional information regarding the FitzPatrick decommissioning ARO and pension and OPEB updates.

Includes a $110 million asset associated with a contractual right to reimbursement from the New York Power Authority (NYPA), a prior owner of FitzPatrick, associated with the DOE one-time fee obligation. See Note 24-Commitments and Contingencies of the Exelon 2016 Form 10-K for additional background regarding SNF obligations to the DOE.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Exelon and Generation incurred $6 million and $53 million, respectively, of merger and integration related costs which are included within Operating and maintenance expense in Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Acquisition of ConEdison Solutions (Exelon and Generation)
On September 1, 2016, Generation acquired the competitive retail electricity and natural gas business of Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (ConEdison Solutions), a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc. for a purchase price of $257 million including net working capital of $204 million. The renewable energy, sustainable services and energy efficiency businesses of ConEdison Solutions are excluded from the transaction.
The fair values of ConEdison Solutions' assets and liabilities were determined based on significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including projected future cash flows (including timing), discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows and future power and fuel market prices. The purchase price equaled the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and, therefore, no goodwill or bargain purchase was recorded as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is now final.

Merger with Pepco Holdings, Inc. (Exelon)
Description of Transaction
On March 23, 2016, Exelon completed the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement among Exelon, Purple Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon (Merger Sub) and Pepco Holdings, Inc. (PHI). As a result of that merger, Merger Sub was merged into PHI (the PHI Merger) with PHI surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon and Exelon Energy Delivery Company, LLC (EEDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon which also owns Exelon's interests in ComEd, PECO and BGE (through a special purpose subsidiary in the case of BGE). Following the completion of the PHI Merger, Exelon and PHI completed a series of internal corporate organization restructuring transactions resulting in the transfer of PHI’s unregulated business interests to Exelon and Generation and the transfer of PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE to a special purpose subsidiary of EEDC.
Regulatory Matters
Approval of the merger in Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and the District of Columbia was conditioned upon Exelon and PHI agreeing to certain commitments including where applicable: customer rate credits, funding for energy efficiency and delivery system modernization programs, a green sustainability fund, workforce development initiatives, charitable contributions, renewable generation and other required commitments. In addition, the orders approving the merger in Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland include a “most favored nation” provision which, generally, requires allocation of merger benefits proportionally across all the jurisdictions.
During the third and fourth quarters of 2016, Exelon and PHI filed proposals in Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland for amounts and allocations reflecting the application of the most favored nation provision, resulting in a total nominal cost of commitments of $513 million, excluding renewable generation commitments (approximately $444 million on a net present value basis amount, excluding renewable generation commitments and charitable contributions). These filings reflected agreements reached with certain parties to the merger proceedings in these jurisdictions. In 2016, the DPSC and NJBPU approved the amounts and allocations of the additional merger benefits for Delaware and New Jersey, respectively. On April 12, 2017, the MDPSC issued an order approving the amounts of the additional merger benefits for Maryland, but amending the proposed allocations of the benefits. The amended allocations do not have a material effect on any of the Registrants' financial statements. No changes in commitment cost levels are required in the District of Columbia.
During the second quarter of 2017, Exelon finalized the application of $8 million funding for low- and moderate-income customers in the Pepco Maryland and DPL Maryland service territories.  This resulted in an adjustment to merger commitment costs recorded at Exelon Corporate, Pepco, and DPL.  Exelon Corporate recorded an increase of $8 million and Pepco and DPL recorded a decrease of $6 million and $2 million, respectively, in Operating and maintenance expense.
The following amounts represent total commitment costs for Exelon, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE that have been recorded since the acquisition date:

Pursuant to the orders approving the merger, Exelon made $73 million, $46 million and $49 million of equity contributions to Pepco, DPL and ACE, respectively, in the second quarter of 2016 to fund the after-tax amounts of the customer bill credit and the customer base rate credit commitments.
In addition, Exelon is committed to develop or to assist in the commercial development of approximately 37 MWs of new generation in Maryland, District of Columbia, and Delaware, 27 MWs of which are expected to be completed by 2018. These investments are expected to total approximately $137 million, are expected to be primarily capital in nature, and will generate future earnings at Exelon and Generation. Investment costs will be recognized as incurred and recorded on Exelon's and Generation's financial statements. Exelon has also committed to purchase 100 MWs of wind energy in PJM, to procure 120 MWs of wind RECs for the purpose of meeting Delaware's renewable portfolio standards, and to maintain and promote energy efficiency and demand response programs in the PHI jurisdictions.
Pursuant to the various jurisdictions' merger approval conditions, over specified periods Pepco, DPL and ACE are not permitted to reduce employment levels due to involuntary attrition associated with the merger integration process and have made other commitments regarding hiring and relocation of positions.
In July 2015, the OPC, Public Citizen, Inc., the Sierra Club and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) filed motions to stay the MDPSC order approving the merger. The Circuit Court judge issued an order denying the motions for stay on August 12, 2015. On January 8, 2016, the Circuit Court judge affirmed the MDPSC’s order approving the merger and denied the petitions for judicial review filed by the OPC, the Sierra Club, CCAN and Public Citizen, Inc.  On January 19, 2016, the OPC filed a notice of appeal to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, and on January 21, the Sierra Club and CCAN filed notices of appeal. On January 27, 2017, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals affirmed the Circuit Court's judgment that the MDPSC did not err in approving the merger. The OPC and Sierra Club filed petitions seeking further review in the Court of Appeals of Maryland, which is the highest court in Maryland. On June 21, 2017, the Court of Appeals granted discretionary review of the January 27, 2017 decision by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. The Maryland Court of Appeals will review the OPC argument that the MDPSC did not properly consider the acquisition premium paid to PHI shareholders under Maryland’s merger approval standard and the Sierra Club’s argument that the merger would harm the renewable and distributed generation markets. The two lower courts examining these issues rejected these arguments, which Exelon believes are without merit. All briefs have been filed and oral arguments were presented to the court on October 10, 2017.
Between March 25, 2016 and April 22, 2016, various parties filed motions with the DCPSC to reconsider its March 23, 2016 order approving the merger.  On June 17, 2016, the DCPSC denied all motions. In August 2016, the District of Columbia Office of People’s Counsel, the District of Columbia Government, and Public Citizen jointly with DC Sun each filed petitions for judicial review of the DCPSC’s March 23, 2016 order with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. On July 20, 2017, the Court issued an opinion rejecting all of appellants’ arguments and affirming the Commission’s decision approving the merger.
Accounting for the Merger Transaction
The total purchase price consideration of approximately $7.1 billion for the PHI Merger consisted of cash paid to PHI shareholders, cash paid for PHI preferred securities and cash paid for PHI stock-based compensation equity awards as follows:

_________
(a)
PHI’s unvested time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units issued prior to April 29, 2014 were immediately vested and paid in cash upon the close of the merger.  PHI’s remaining unvested time-based restricted stock units as of the close of the merger were cancelled.  There were no remaining unvested performance-based restricted stock units as of the close of the merger.
PHI shareholders received $27.25 of cash in exchange for each share of PHI common stock outstanding as of the effective date of the merger. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Exelon entered into a Subscription Agreement under which it purchased $180 million of a new class of nonvoting, nonconvertible and nontransferable preferred securities of PHI prior to December 31, 2015. On March 23, 2016, the preferred securities were cancelled for no consideration to Exelon, and accordingly, the $180 million cash consideration previously paid to acquire the preferred securities was treated as purchase price consideration.
The preliminary valuations performed in the first quarter of 2016 were updated in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2016. There were no adjustments to the purchase price allocation in the first quarter of 2017 and the purchase price allocation is now final.
Exelon applied push-down accounting to PHI, and accordingly, the PHI assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values on Exelon’s and PHI's Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

_________
(a)
Amounts shown reflect the final purchase price allocation and the correction of a reporting error identified and corrected in the second quarter of 2016. The error had resulted in a gross up of certain assets and liabilities related to legacy PHI intercompany and income tax receivable and payable balances.

On its successor financial statements, PHI has recorded, beginning March 24, 2016, Membership interest equity of $7.2 billion, which is greater than the total $7.1 billion purchase price, reflecting the impact of a $59 million deferred tax liability recorded only at Exelon Corporate to reflect unitary state income tax consequences of the merger.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed totaled $4.0 billion, which was recognized as goodwill by PHI and Exelon at the acquisition date, reflecting the value associated with enhancing Exelon's regulated utility portfolio of businesses, including the ability to leverage experience and best practices across the utilities and the opportunities for synergies. For purposes of future required impairment assessments, the goodwill has been assigned to PHI's reportable units Pepco, DPL and ACE in the amounts of $1.7 billion, $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. None of this goodwill is expected to be tax deductible.
Immediately following closing of the merger, $235 million of net assets included in the table above associated with PHI's unregulated business interests were distributed by PHI to Exelon. Exelon contributed $163 million of such net assets to Generation.
The fair values of PHI's assets and liabilities were determined based on significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including projected future cash flows (including timing), discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows, future market prices and impacts of utility rate regulation. There were also judgments made to determine the expected useful lives assigned to each class of assets acquired.
Through its wholly owned rate regulated utility subsidiaries, most of PHI’s assets and liabilities are subject to cost-of-service rate regulation.  Under such regulation, rates charged to customers are established by a regulator to provide for recovery of costs and a fair return on invested capital, or rate base, generally measured at historical cost.  In applying the acquisition method of accounting, for regulated assets and liabilities included in rate base or otherwise earning a return (primarily property, plant and equipment and regulatory assets earning a return), no fair value adjustments were recorded as historical cost is viewed as a reasonable proxy for fair value.
Fair value adjustments were applied to the historical cost bases of other assets and liabilities subject to rate regulation but not earning a return (including debt instruments and pension and OPEB obligations).   In these instances, a corresponding offsetting regulatory asset or liability was also established, as the underlying utility asset and liability amounts are recoverable from or refundable to customers at historical cost (and not at fair value) through the rate setting process.  Similar treatment was applied for fair value adjustments to record intangible assets and liabilities, such as for electricity and gas energy supply contracts as further described below.  Regulatory assets and liabilities established to offset fair value adjustments are amortized in amounts and over time frames consistent with the realization or settlement of the fair value adjustments, with no impact on reported net income.  See Note 5 - Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding the fair value of regulatory assets and liabilities established by Exelon and PHI.
Fair value adjustments were recorded at Exelon and PHI for the difference between the contract price and the market price of electricity and gas energy supply contracts of PHI’s wholly owned rate regulated utility subsidiaries. These adjustments are intangible assets and liabilities classified as unamortized energy contracts on Exelon’s and PHI’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2017.  The difference between the contract price and the market price at the acquisition date of the Merger was recognized for each contract as either an intangible asset or liability.  In total, Exelon and PHI recorded a net $1.5 billion liability reflecting out-of-the-money contracts. The valuation of the acquired intangible assets and liabilities was estimated by applying either the market approach or the income approach depending on the nature of the underlying contract. The market approach was utilized when prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable transactions were available. Otherwise the income approach, which is based upon discounted projected future cash flows associated with the underlying contracts, was utilized. In certain instances, the valuations were based upon certain unobservable inputs, which are considered Level 3 inputs, pursuant to applicable accounting guidance. Key estimates and inputs include forecasted power prices and the discount rate.  The unamortized energy contract fair value adjustment amounts and the corresponding offsetting regulatory asset and liability amounts are amortized through Purchase power and fuel expense or Operating revenues, as applicable, over the life of the applicable contract in relation to the present value of the underlying cash flows as of the merger date.
As mentioned, under cost-of-service rate regulation, rates charged to customers are established by a regulator to provide for recovery of costs and a fair return on invested capital, or rate base, generally measured at historical cost.  Historical cost information therefore is the most relevant presentation for the financial statements of PHI’s rate regulated utility subsidiary registrants, Pepco, DPL and ACE.  As such, Exelon and PHI did not push-down the application of acquisition accounting to PHI's utility registrants, and therefore the financial statements of Pepco, DPL and ACE do not reflect the revaluation of any assets and liabilities.
The current impact of PHI, including its unregulated businesses, on Exelon's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income includes:

Asset Divestitures (Exelon, Generation, PHI, Pepco and DPL)
EGTP, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in 2014 with the purpose of financing a portfolio of assets comprised of two combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) and three peaking/simple cycle facilities consisting of approximately 3.4 GW of generation capacity in ERCOT North and Houston Zones.  EGTP is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon and Generation. Each of the aforementioned facilities are held through a wholly owned direct subsidiary of EGTP. EGTP also owns two equity method investments in shared facility companies. EGTP, its direct parent and its wholly owned subsidiaries secured a nonrecourse senior secured term loan facility, a revolving loan facility and certain commodity and interest rate swaps.
On May 2, 2017, EGTP entered into a consent agreement with its lenders to permit EGTP to draw on its revolving credit facility and initiate an orderly sales process to sell the assets of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the proceeds from which will first be used to pay the administrative costs of the sale, the normal and ordinary costs of operating the plants and repayment of the secured debt of EGTP, including the revolving credit facility. See Note 11 - Debt and Credit Agreements for details regarding the nonrecourse debt associated with EGTP. As a result, as of September 30, 2017, certain EGTP assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale at their respective fair values less costs to sell and included in the other current assets and other current liabilities balances on Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 6 - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets for further information.
In July 2016, DPL completed the sale of a 9 acre land parcel located on South Madison Street in Wilmington, DE, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $4 million. Due to the fair value adjustments recorded at Exelon and PHI as part of purchase accounting, no gain was recorded in the Exelon and PHI Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. 
On June 16, 2016, Generation initiated the sales process of its Upstream business by executing a forbearance agreement with the lenders of the nonrecourse debt. See Note 11 - Debt and Credit Agreements for more information. In December 2016, Generation sold substantially all of the Upstream assets, see Note 4 - Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Exelon 2016 Form 10-K for further information.
