Item 1. Description of Proposed Transactions.
-------------------------------------
The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E) is a utility company
and wholly-owned subsidiary of CINergy Corp. (CINergy), a registered
holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended (the Act). The Union Light, Heat and Power Company (Union
Light) is a utility company and wholly-owned subsidiary of CG&E and an
affiliate of CINergy. CG&E and Union Light are sometimes hereinafter
referred to individually as an "Operating Affiliate" and collectively
as the "Operating Affiliates." CG&E hereby requests authorization to
issue and sell, from time to time through March 31, 1996, an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $500 million of a combination of senior
unsecured indebtedness (the Senior Debentures) and junior unsecured
subordinated indebtedness (the Junior Securities). In addition, Union
Light hereby requests the authorization of the Commission to issue and
sell, from time to time through March 31, 1997, an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $55 million of unsecured indebtedness (the Union
Debentures). The Senior Debentures and the Union Debentures are
hereinafter referred to collectively as "the Senior Securities", and
the Senior and Junior Securities are hereinafter referred to
collectively as "the Securities".
The Operating Affiliates, in conjunction with potential
underwriters, have developed parameters under which the Securities are
to be sold. The parameters, as hereinafter discussed, are designed to
provide a reasonable allowance for potential changes in financial
market conditions between the time of Commission authorization and the
actual sale of the Securities. The parameters allow each Operating
Affiliate to sell the Securities on any day when it believes it is
prudent to do so provided the terms are within the parameters.
A. The Senior Securities
---------------------
The Operating Affiliates have several high coupon series of first
mortgage bonds that are, or will shortly become, optionally redeemable
and can be re-financed through the issuance of lower cost debt.
Potential candidates for such redemptions are:
Redemption
Price
Principal as a % of
Issuer Description Outstanding Principal \1\
------ ----------- ----------- -----------
CG&E 10-1/8% Series Due 2020 $100,000,000 107.27%
CG&E 10.20% Series Due 2020 $150,000,000 107.44%
CG&E 9.70% Series Due 2019 $100,000,000 107.13%
ULH&P 10-1/4% Series Due 6/1/20 $15,000,000 107.34%
ULH&P 10-1/4% Series Due 11/15/20 $15,000,000 107.20%
ULH&P 9.70% Series Due 2019 $20,000,000 106.98%
Proceeds from the sale of the Senior Securities will be used
directly or indirectly to refund some or all of these high-coupon debt
issues. Any balance of net proceeds from the sale of the Senior
Securities will be used for general corporate purposes. None of such
proceeds will be used by CG&E or Union Light to acquire, directly or
indirectly, an interest in an exempt wholesale generator (EWG) or foreign
utility company (FUCO) as defined in the Act.
The Senior Securities will be issued at a price no higher than
101.5% nor less than 98% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest,
if any, with underwriting commissions and agents' fees not to exceed
1.25% of the principal amount.
The Senior Securities may be issued in one or more new series for
terms not to exceed 40 years. The interest rate applicable to any
series of the Senior Securities shall not exceed the following maximum
spread over United States Treasury Notes and United States Treasury Bonds
of comparable maturities:
Maturity of Maturity of
10 Years Greater Than
Or Less 10 Years
--------------- ------------
(Basis Points)
Senior Debentures 175 225
Union Debentures 150 200
Interest on the Senior Securities will be paid on a semi-annual
basis.
B. The Junior Securities
---------------------
CG&E currently has preferred stock that is or will become optionally
redeemable. Potential candidates for redemption are:
Redemption
Balance Price Per
Description Outstanding Share
----------- ----------- -----------
Cumulative Preferred Stock, 7.44% Series $40,000,000 $101.00
Cumulative Preferred Stock, 9.15% Series $50,000,000 $106.10
Proceeds from the sale of the Junior Securities are anticipated to
be used directly or indirectly to redeem outstanding preferred stock.
Any balance of net proceeds from the sale of the Junior Securities will
be used for general corporate purposes. None of such proceeds will be
used by CG&E to acquire an interest in, directly or indirectly, an EWG or
FUCO.
CG&E believes the redemption of preferred stock with Junior
Securities will provide substantial benefits over traditional preferred
stock issuances. While CG&E expects that the Junior Securities will
carry a somewhat higher interest rate than a preferred issue, the
expected tax deductibility of interest payments on Junior Securities will
afford increased cash flow and net income, and ultimately lower customer
rates. In addition, CG&E's current preferred stock ratio is
approximately 8%, while the latest available industry average is about
6%. By refunding preferred stock with junior debt, CG&E will bring the
preferred stock component of its capital structure to a level more in
line with the utility industry.
The Junior Securities may be issued by CG&E in one or more new
series for terms not to exceed 40 years. The Junior Securities will be
issued at a price no higher than 101.5% nor less than 98% of the
principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, at an interest rate
which results in a yield to maturity to the purchaser at the initial
offering price not in excess of 175 basis points above the yield to
maturity on United States Treasury Notes of comparable maturity for
Junior Securities with a maturity of 10 years or less, and at an interest
rate which results in a yield to maturity to the purchaser at the initial
offering price not in excess of 225 basis points above the yield to
maturity on United States Treasury Bonds of comparable maturity for
Junior Securities with a maturity of more than 10 years, with
underwriting commissions and agents' fees not to exceed 3.50% of the
principal amount of the Junior Securities.
Interest on the Junior Securities will be paid on either a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, and CG&E may have the right to
defer payment of interest on its Junior Securities for up to five years
under certain situations.
B. Method of Issuance
------------------
It is difficult to determine, under present market conditions,
whether it would be more advantageous to the Operating Affiliates to sell
the Securities with a 40-year or some shorter maturity. It is in the
public interest, however, that the Operating Affiliates be afforded the
necessary flexibility to adjust their financing programs to developments
in the markets for long-term debt securities when and as they occur in
order to obtain the best possible price, interest rate and terms for its
Securities. It is proposed, therefore, that the Operating Affiliates
issue the Securities from time to time and determine at such subsequent
date(s) whether there should be more than one series, the maturity of
each series of the Securities (not in excess of 40 years) and the method
of issuance.
For each offering of the Securities, the Operating Affiliates
propose to either (a) sell the Securities to one or more underwriters
through a negotiated offering or (b) sell the Securities through a
competitive bidding process. In the event one or more series of the
Securities are sold through a negotiated offering, the terms of such
Securities will be negotiated by the Operating Affiliate(s) either with a
group of underwriters headed by managing underwriters or with one or more
underwriters, with a limited number of purchasers or with a single
purchaser for a direct sale or for a sale through agents. If one or more
series of the Securities are sold through competitive bidding, such
Securities will be sold to the bidder(s) whose proposal results in the
lowest annual cost of money, with the Operating Affiliate(s) having the
right to reject any or all bids. Each of the bidders will be required to
specify the coupon rate and the price, exclusive of accrued interest, to
be paid for the Securities. The redemption premiums with respect to the
Securities will also be established as a result of the negotiations or as
part of a competitive bidding process. After approval of the terms for
each offering by each Operating Affiliate's Board of Directors, by an
authorized committee thereof, or by persons authorized by the Operating
Affiliate's Board of Directors, it is anticipated that an underwriting
agreement setting forth the terms of the Securities of that offering
would be executed.
The authorization of the sale of the Securities consistent with the
parameters herein in no way relieves the Operating Affiliates of their
responsibility to obtain the best terms available for the structure
selected and, therefore, it is appropriate and reasonable for this
Commission to authorize the Operating Affiliates to agree to such terms
and prices consistent with said parameters.
It is expected that a new indenture would be used by each Operating
Affiliate for the respective Securities issued by that Operating
Affiliate, the form of such indenture being filed as Exhibit A hereto. A
separate supplemental indenture would be executed by the respective
Operating Affiliate covering terms of the Securities from each offering.
The indenture will provide that, unless otherwise provided in a
supplemental indenture or a Board Resolution, the Securities will be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full
of all secured obligations of the respective Operating Affiliate, with
the Junior Securities being junior in such rights to the Senior
Debentures, whether outstanding as of the date of each indenture or
thereafter incurred. The Securities will have no cross-default
provisions with respect to other indebtedness of each Operating Affiliate
or between Operating Affiliates.
C. Statement Pursuant to Rule 54
-----------------------------
The Operating Affiliates do not intend at present to use the
borrowings proposed herein to finance the acquisition of an EWG or a
FUCO. If the Operating Affiliates' intention changes, an amended
Declaration will be filed requesting authorization for such use.
Under Rule 54, in determining whether to approve the issuance or
sale of a security by a registered holding company for purposes other
than the acquisition of an EWG or FUCO or other transactions by such
registered holding company or its subsidiaries other than with respect to
EWGs or FUCOs, the Commission shall not consider the effect of the
capitalization or earnings of any subsidiary which is an EWG or FUCO upon
the registered holding company system, if the conditions set forth in
Rule 53(a), (b) and (c) are satisfied. As set forth below, all
applicable conditions set forth in Rule 53(a) are and, assuming the
consummation of the transactions proposed herein, will be satisfied, and
none of the conditions set forth in Rule 53(b) exists or, as a result
thereof, will exist. The following discussion assumes the CINergy
system's existence for the dates and periods in question.
Three CINergy system companies are EWGs or FUCOs. PSI Argentina,
Inc. ("PSI Argentina") and its subsidiary, Costanera Power Corp.
("Costanera"), were determined to be EWGs by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission ("FERC") in Costanera Power Corp., 61 FERC Par.
61,335 (1992), and PSI Argentina, Inc., 68 FERC Par. 61,286 (1994). PSI
Energy Argentina ("Energy Argentina") is a FUCO and has filed with the
Commission a Notification of FUCO status on Form U-57. In addition to
these investments, CINergy owns a number of other companies formed to
hold investments in FUCOs and/or EWGs (CGE ECK, Inc., PSI T&D
International, Inc., PSI Yacyreta, Inc., and E P EDEGEL, Inc.), and is
seeking authorization in File No. 70-8589 to retain certain other
companies (including PSI Power Resource Development, Inc., PSI Power
Resource Operations, Inc., PSI International, Inc., and PSI Sunnyside,
Inc.) and to form additional companies to facilitate FUCO and EWG
investments. Because none of these other companies presently owns any
EWG or FUCO, they are not included in the calculations below.
Rule 53(a)(1): The average of CINergy's pro forma consolidated
retained earnings for the four consecutive quarters ended December 31,
1994 was $929 million, and CINergy's aggregate investment in EWGs and
FUCOs at December 31, 1994 was approximately $20 million, or
approximately 2% of consolidated retained earnings.
Rule 53(a)(2): CINergy will maintain books and records enabling it
to identify investments in and earnings from each EWG and FUCO in which
it directly or indirectly holds an interest. At present, CINergy does
not hold any interest in a domestic EWG; Rule 53(a)(2)(i) is therefore
inapplicable.
In accordance with Rule 53(a)(2)(ii), the books and records and
financial statements of each foreign EWG and FUCO which is a
"majority-owned subsidiary company" of CINergy are kept in conformity
with and prepared according to U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). CINergy will provide the Commission access to such
books and records and financial statements, or copies thereof, in
English, as the Commission may request.
In accordance with Rule 53(a)(2)(iii), for each foreign EWG and
FUCO in which CINergy directly or indirectly owns 50% or less of the
voting securities, CINergy will proceed in good faith, to the extent
reasonable under the circumstances, to cause each such entity's books and
records to be kept in conformity with, and the financial statements of
each such entity to be prepared according to, GAAP. If such books and
records are maintained, or such financial statements are prepared,
according to a comprehensive body of accounting principles other than
GAAP, CINergy will, upon request of the Commission, describe and quantify
each material variation from GAAP in the accounting principles, practices
and methods used to maintain such books and records and each material
variation from GAAP in the balance sheet line items and net income
reported in such financial statements, as the case may be. In addition,
CINergy will proceed in good faith, to the extent reasonable under the
circumstances, to cause access by the Commission to such books and
records and financial statements, or copies thereof, as the Commission
may request, and in any event will make available to the Commission any
such books and records that are available to CINergy.
Rule 53(a)(3): At any one time, a maximum of approximately 25
CINergy system employees have rendered services to PSI Argentina,
Costanera and Energy Argentina. Based on current staffing levels, this
represents less than 0.3% of the approximately 8,650 full-time employees
of CINergy's domestic operating utility subsidiaries. Such services have
heretofore been rendered, in part, by employees of PSI Energy in
accordance with the Commission's order in PSI Resources, Inc. et al.,
Rel. No. 35-25674, 52 SEC Docket 2533, 2534-35 (Nov. 13, 1992), and by
employees of CG&E in accordance with business practices established prior
to the formation of the CINergy system and the registration of CINergy as
a holding company under the Act. Pursuant to the Commission's October
21, 1994 order in File No. 70-8427 (Rel. No. 35-26146), CINergy's service
company subsidiary, CINergy Services, Inc., is authorized to provide
services to utility and non-utility associate companies, including those
that are EWGs or FUCOs.
Rule 53(a)(4): CINergy is simultaneously submitting a copy of this
Declaration, and will submit copies of any Rule 24 certificate required
hereunder, as well as a copy of Item 9 of CINergy's Form U5S and Exhibits
H and I thereto, to each of the public service commissions having
jurisdiction over the retail rates of CINergy's operating utility
subsidiaries at the time such documents are filed with the Commission.
Rule 53(b): The provisions of Rule 53(a) are not made inapplicable
to the authorizations herein requested by reason of the provisions of
Rule 53(b).
Rule 53(b)(1): Neither CINergy nor any subsidiary of CINergy is the
subject of any pending bankruptcy or similar proceeding.
Rule 53(b)(2): CINergy's total capital invested in utility
operations as of December 31, 1994 totaled approximately $5.9 billion,
consisting of approximately $2.8 billion in long-term and $208 million in
short-term debt of CG&E, PSI Energy and the utility subsidiaries of CG&E,
$478 million in preferred stock of CG&E and PSI Energy, and $2.4 billion
in common equity of CG&E, PSI Energy and the utility subsidiaries of
CG&E. CINergy's aggregate present investment in EWGs and FUCOs
(approximately $20 million) represents less than 0.4% of CINergy's total
capital invested in utility operations. Together with the $95 million in
additional investment authority requested by CINergy in File No. 70-8589,
CINergy's aggregate investment authority for EWGs and FUCOs
($115,000,000) would represent less than 2% of CINergy's total capital
invested in utility operations. Average consolidated retained earnings
for the four quarters ended December 31, 1994 equaled $929 million,
versus $1,053 million for the four quarters ended December 31, 1993, a
difference of approximately $124 million or 12%.
Rule 53(b)(3): For the 12 months ended December 31, 1994, CINergy
had net income of approximately $175,000 attributable to its direct or
indirect investments in EWGs and FUCOs.
Rule 53(c). Inasmuch as Rule 53(c) applies only if an applicant is
unable to satisfy the requirements of Rules 53(a) and (b), it is
inapplicable here.
Item 2. Fees, Commissions and Expenses.
-------------------------------
Estimates of expenses of each Operating Affiliate in connection with
the proposed issuance of the Securities will be set forth in the
appropriate item of that Operating Affiliate's Registration Statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, with such Registration Statements to be
filed as Exhibits C-1 and C-2 at a later date. No other fees,
commissions or expenses, other than expenses billed at cost by Cinergy
Services not to exceed $10,000, are to be paid or incurred by the
Operating Affiliates or any associate company in connection with the
proposed issuance of the Securities.
Item 3. Applicable Statutory Provisions.
--------------------------------
Sections 6(a) and 7 and Rule 54 are or may be applicable to the
proposed transactions. To the extent that any other sections of the Act
or rules thereunder may be applicable to the proposed transactions, the
Declarants hereby request an appropriate order thereunder.
Item 4. Regulatory Approval.
--------------------
The proposed issuance of the Securities was authorized by The Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) on March 29, 1995, in the case of
CG&E (Case No. 95-273-GE-AIS), and is pending approval by the Kentucky
Public Service Commission (KPSC) in the case of Union Light (Case No. 95-
091). A copy of the application to and order of the PUCO and a copy of
the application to the KPSC has been filed as Exhibits
D-1, D-3 and D-2, respectively, with a copy of the order from the KPSC to
be filed by amendment hereto.
If CG&E desires to issue medium-term notes, such securities will be
secured by global first mortgage bond securities, and CG&E would seek
separate authorization under the Act to issue such securities.
No other state commission (except as aforesaid) has jurisdiction
with respect to the subject transactions and no federal commission other
than the Commission has jurisdiction with respect thereto.
Item 5. Procedure.
----------
The Operating Affiliates hereby respectfully request that the
Commission issue and publish not later than April 10, 1995, the requisite
notice under Rule 23 with respect to the filing of this Declaration, and
that the Commission enter not later than May 9, 1995 an appropriate order
permitting this Declaration to become effective.
The Operating Affiliates hereby waive a recommended decision by a
hearing officer or any other responsible officer of the Commission; agree
that the Staff of the Division of Investment Management may assist in the
preparation of the Commission's decision; and request that there be no
waiting period between the issuance of the Commission's order and the
date on which it is to become effective.

Secured Medium Term Notes, Senior )
Unsecured Debt, or Junior Unsecured )
Subordinated Debt )
APPLICATION
------------
To the Honorable
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio:
The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E), a public utility as
defined by the Ohio Revised Code, respectfully represents the following:
1. CG&E proposes, with the necessary consent and authority of this
Commission, to issue and sell, from time to time over a period ending
March 31, 1996, up to $500 million principal amount of first mortgage
bonds (the New Bonds), secured medium term notes (the Notes), senior
unsecured indebtedness (the Senior Debentures) or junior unsecured
subordinated indebtedness (the Subordinated Debt), or any combination
thereof. The New Bonds, the Notes, the Senior Debentures and the
Subordinated Debt are referred to collectively as "the Securities".
2. The New Bonds, the Senior Debentures and the Subordinated Debt
will be issued in one or more series for terms not to exceed 40 years.
The Notes will be issued in one or more series for terms not less than
one year and not more than 40 years.
3. Proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be used to refund
outstanding debt and preferred stock or for other general corporate
purposes, pursuant to Section 4905.40, Ohio Revised Code. It is
anticipated that the Subordinated Debt would be issued only to redeem
outstanding preferred stock.
4. CG&E proposes to either (a) sell the Securities to one or more
underwriters through a negotiated offering or (b) sell the Securities
through a competitive bidding process. In the event the Securities are
sold through a negotiated offering, the terms of each offering of the
Securities will be negotiated by CG&E either with a group of underwriters
headed by managing underwriters or with one or more underwriters, with a
limited number of purchasers or with a single purchaser for a direct sale
or for a sale through agents. If the Securities are sold through
competitive bidding, the Securities will be sold to the bidder(s) whose
proposal results in the lowest annual cost of money, with CG&E having the
right to reject any or all bids. Each of the bidders will be required to
specify the coupon rate and the price, exclusive of accrued interest, to
be paid for the Securities. After approval of the terms for each
offering by CG&E's Board of Directors, by an authorized committee thereof
or by persons authorized by CG&E's Board of Directors, it is anticipated
that an agreement setting forth the terms of the Securities would be
signed.
5. CG&E has filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-52335) for
the registration of the New Bonds or Notes as first mortgage bonds under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act), to permit sales thereof from time
to time pursuant to the provisions of Rule 415 (providing for "Shelf
Registration" under the Act). The prospectus filed as part of such
Registration Statement relates to $380 million principal amount of the
New Bonds or Notes, pursuant to Rule 429 under the Act. CG&E may either
amend such Registration Statement through one or more post-effective
amendments for substantive changes from or additions to the previously
filed prospectus or may file a new registration statement on Form S-3.
No filing under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) is
required with respect to the New Bonds since such securities are exempt
under Rule 52 of the PUHCA. In addition to Commission approval, SEC
approval under the PUHCA would be required to issue the Notes, the Senior
Debentures and the Subordinated Debt.
6. CG&E proposes that the Commission issue its order authorizing
the issuance and sale of the Securities prior to the time CG&E reaches
agreement with respect to the terms of the Securities.
7. CG&E, in conjunction with potential underwriters, has developed
parameters under which the Securities are to be sold. The parameters, as
set forth in Exhibit A, are designed to provide a reasonable allowance
for potential changes in financial market conditions between the time of
Commission authorization and the actual sale of the Securities. The
inclusion of the parameters within the Order would allow CG&E to sell the
Securities on any day when it believes it is prudent to do so provided
the terms are within the parameters.
8. The authorization of the sale of the Securities consistent with
the parameters herein in no way relieves CG&E of its responsibility to
obtain the best terms available for the structure selected and,
therefore, it is appropriate and reasonable for this Commission to
authorize CG&E to agree to such terms and prices consistent with said
parameters.
9. If the New Bonds or the Notes are issued, they will be issued
under and secured by the First Mortgage dated as of August 1, 1936
between CG&E and The Bank of New York, Trustee, as previously amended and
supplemented and to be supplemented by one or more supplemental
indentures. The Senior Debentures and the Subordinated Debt will be
issued under a loan agreement or similar document, or an indenture or
indentures between CG&E and one or more trustees to be named at a later
date.
10. The redemption premiums with respect to the Securities will also
be established as a result of the negotiations or as part of a
competitive bidding process.
11. As a result of the sale of the maximum amount of the Securities
and the possible redemption of outstanding obligations, CG&E's annual
long-term interest charges are expected to change. The effect of any
change in cost on revenue requirements can be determined only in rate
proceedings in which all factors relating to CG&E's revenue requirements
are taken into account according to law.
12. CG&E proposes either to credit premiums or charge discounts, if
any, and to charge the expenses to be incurred in connection with each
issue to the proper deferred accounts and amortize such amounts over the
respective lives of the Securities in equal annual amounts to current
income.
13. A balance sheet of CG&E showing its assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 1994, and an income statement of CG&E for the 12 months
ended December 31, 1994, are attached and marked Exhibit B.
WHEREFORE, The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company requests that
this Commission issue an order finding that:
(1) Applicant is a public utility as defined in Section 4905.02,
Ohio Revised Code, and as such is subject to the
jurisdiction of this Commission.
(2) The Application is filed under provisions of
Section 4905.41, Ohio Revised Code.
(3) Applicant proposes to issue and sell, from time to time over
a period ending March 31, 1996, up to $500 million principal
amount of first mortgage bonds (the New Bonds), secured
medium term notes (the Notes), senior unsecured indebtedness
(the Senior Debentures) or junior unsecured subordinated
indebtedness (the Subordinated Debt), or any combination
thereof. The New Bonds, the Notes, the Senior Debentures
and the Subordinated Debt are referred to collectively as
"the Securities".
(4) The New Bonds, the Senior Debentures and the Subordinated
Debt will be issued in one or more series for terms not to
exceed 40 years. The Notes will be issued in one or more
series for terms not less than one year and not more than 40
years.
(5) If the New Bonds or the Notes are issued, they will be
issued under and secured by the First Mortgage dated as of
August 1, 1936 between Applicant and The Bank of New York,
Trustee, as previously amended and supplemented and to be
supplemented by one or more supplemental indentures. The
Senior Debentures and the Subordinated Debt will be issued
under a loan agreement or similar document, or an indenture
or indentures between CG&E and one or more trustees to be
named at a later date.
(6) Applicant, in conjunction with potential underwriters, has
developed parameters under which the Securities are to be
sold. The parameters, as set forth in Exhibit A to the
Application, are designed to provide a reasonable allowance
for potential changes in financial market conditions between
the time of Commission authorization and the actual sale of
the Securities. The inclusion of the parameters within this
Order would allow the Applicant to sell the Securities on
any day when it believes it is prudent to do so provided the
terms are within the parameters.
(7) The authorization of the sale of the Securities consistent
with the parameters herein in no way relieves the Applicant
of its responsibility to obtain the best terms available for
the structure selected and, therefore, it is appropriate and
reasonable for this Commission to authorize Applicant in
this Order to agree to such terms and prices consistent with
said parameters.
(8) The proceeds from the sale or sales of the Securities will
be used to refund outstanding debt and preferred stock or
for other general corporate purposes, pursuant to
Section 4905.40, Ohio Revised Code.
(9) Based on information contained in the Application and
exhibits thereto, the purpose to which the proceeds from the
issue and sale of the Securities shall be applied is
reasonably required by the Applicant to meet its present and
prospective obligations to provide utility service.
(10) The maximum amount of the Securities is just and reasonable,
and the probable cost, price to Applicant, and other terms
thereof, within the limits described above, to be determined
pursuant to arm's length negotiation or through competitive
bidding with right of refusal of any or all bids, are just
and reasonable.
(11) The issuance of the Securities and the possible redemption
of outstanding obligations are expected to change
Applicant's annual long-term interest charges. The effect
on revenue requirements resulting from issuance of the
Securities and the possible redemption of outstanding
obligations will be reflected in the determination of
required revenue in rate proceedings in which all factors
affecting rates are taken into account according to law.
(12) Applicant proposes either to credit premiums or charge
discounts, if any, and to charge expenses incurred in
connection with each issue to the proper deferred accounts
to be amortized in equal annual amounts to Current Income
over the respective lives of the Securities.
(13) The issuance and sale by Applicant of the Securities is
reasonably required and the money to be procured therefrom
is necessary for Applicant's lawful corporate purposes, and
the Commission is satisfied that consent and authority
should be granted accordingly.
and ordering that:
1. The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company is hereby authorized to
issue and sell, from time to time over a period ending March 31, 1996, up
to $500 million principal amount of the New Bonds, the Notes, the Senior
Debentures or the Subordinated Debt, or any combination thereof, in one
or more series, and on terms consistent with the parameters set forth in
Exhibit A to the Application.
2. The New Bonds and the Notes, if issued, are to be issued under
and secured by the First Mortgage dated as of August 1, 1936 between CG&E
and The Bank of New York, Trustee, as previously amended and supplemented
and to be supplemented by one or more supplemental indentures. The
Senior Debentures and the Subordinated Debt will be issued under a loan
agreement or similar document, or an indenture or indentures between CG&E
and one or more trustees to be named at a later date.
3. When the Securities authorized by this Order are issued and
sold, The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company shall report to this
Commission the terms and full particulars regarding each sale of
Securities or, in lieu of that, Applicant may submit a copy of each
prospectus as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission setting
forth each sale of the Securities.
4. The cash proceeds procured from the aforesaid issuance and
sale of the Securities are to be used for the purposes specified in
Finding (8) above as provided in Section 4905.40, Ohio Revised Code.
5. Applicant is hereby authorized either to credit premiums or
charge discounts, if any, and to charge the expenses incurred in
connection with each issue to the proper deferred accounts and amortize
such amounts over the respective lives of the Securities in equal annual
amounts to current income.
6. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to imply any guaranty
or obligation as to the Securities, or the interest thereon, on the part
of the State of Ohio.
Respectfully submitted this 9th day of March 1995.

Bonds or Unsecured Debt )
APPLICATION
------------
The petition of The Union Light, Heat and Power Company (Applicant)
respectfully shows:
(A) That the applicant is engaged in the business of furnishing gas
and/or electric service to customers in various municipalities and
unincorporated areas of Kenton, Campbell, Boone, Gallatin, Grant, and
Pendleton Counties, Kentucky.
(B) That Applicant's post office address is 107 Brent Spence Square,
Covington, Kentucky 41011 and the address of Applicant's principal
executive office is 139 East Fourth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
(C) That pursuant to KRS 278.300 and 807 KAR 5:001 Section 11, for
authority to issue securities, notes, bonds, stocks, or other evidences
of indebtedness:
1. Description of Property, etc. (807 KAR 5:001
SECTION 11(1)(a)):
--------------------------------------------
Applicant renders electric or gas service, or both, in a territory
of about 500 square miles and having an estimated population of about
280,000. Its principal properties are electric and gas distribution
facilities. As of December 31, 1994, the original cost of its property
was $340,960,350.
2. Issue Proposed (807 KAR 5:001 SECTION 11(1)(b)):
-----------------------------------------------
Applicant proposes, with the necessary consent and authority of this
Commission, to issue and sell, from time to time over a period ending
March 31, 1997, up to $55 million principal amount of first mortgage
bonds (the New Bonds) or unsecured indebtedness (the New Notes), or any
combination thereof. The New Bonds and the New Notes are referred to
collectively as "the Securities".
The Securities will be issued in one or more series for terms not to
exceed 40 years.
Applicant proposes to either (a) sell the Securities to one or more
underwriters through a negotiated offering or (b) sell the Securities
through a competitive bidding process. In the event the Securities are
sold through a negotiated offering, the terms of each offering of the
Securities will be negotiated by Applicant either with a group of
underwriters headed by managing underwriters or with one or more
underwriters, with a limited number of purchasers or with a single
purchaser for a direct sale or for a sale through agents. If the
Securities are sold through competitive bidding, the Securities will be
sold to the bidder(s) whose proposal results in the lowest annual cost of
money, with Applicant having the right to reject any or all bids. Each
of the bidders will be required to specify the coupon rate and the price,
exclusive of accrued interest, to be paid for the Securities. After
approval of the terms for each offering by Applicant's Board of Directors
or by persons authorized by the Applicant's Board of Directors, it is
anticipated that an agreement setting forth the terms of the Securities
would be signed.
Applicant has filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-40245) for the
registration of the New Bonds as first mortgage bonds under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the Act), to permit sales thereof from time to
time pursuant to the provisions of Rule 415 (providing for "Shelf
Registration" under the Act). The prospectus filed as part of such
Registration Statement relates to $20 million principal amount of the New
Bonds. Applicant may either amend such Registration Statement through
one or more post-effective amendments for substantive changes from or
additions to the previously filed prospectus or may file a new
registration statement on Form S-3. No filing under the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) is required with respect to the New
Bonds since such securities are exempt under Rule 52 of the PUHCA. In
addition to Commission approval, SEC approval under the PUHCA would be
required to issue the New Notes.
Applicant proposes that the Commission issue its order authorizing
the issuance and sale of the Securities prior to the time Applicant
reaches agreement with respect to the terms of the Securities.
Applicant, in conjunction with potential underwriters, has developed
parameters under which the Securities are to be sold. The parameters, as
set forth in Exhibit A, are designed to provide a reasonable allowance
for potential changes in financial market conditions between the time of
Commission authorization and the actual sale of the Securities. The
inclusion of the parameters within the Order would allow Applicant to
sell the Securities on any day when it believes it is prudent to do so
provided the terms are within the parameters.
The authorization of the sale of the Securities consistent with the
parameters herein in no way relieves Applicant of its responsibility to
negotiate and obtain the best terms available for the structure selected
and, therefore, it is appropriate and reasonable for this Commission to
authorize Applicant to agree to such terms and prices consistent with
said parameters.
The New Bonds will be issued under and secured by the First Mortgage
dated as of February 1, 1949 between Applicant and The Bank of New York,
Trustee, as previously amended and supplemented and to be supplemented by
one or more supplemental indentures. The New Notes will be issued under
a loan agreement or similar document, or an indenture or indentures
between Applicant and one or more trustees to be named at a later date.
Applicant proposes either to credit premiums or charge discounts, if
any, and to charge the expenses to be incurred in connection with each
issue to the proper deferred accounts and amortize such amounts over the
respective lives of the Securities in equal annual amounts to current
income.
3. Use of Proceeds (807 KAR 5:001 SECTION 11(1)(C):
------------------------------------------------
The proceeds from the issuance of the Securities will be used to
redeem Applicant's $15 million principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds,
10-1/4% Series Due June 1, 2020, to redeem Applicant's $15 million
principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 10-1/4% Series Due November 15,
2020, to redeem Applicant's $20 million principal amount of First
Mortgage Bonds, 9.70% Series Due 2019, to redeem Applicant's short-term
indebtedness, for such additional expenditures as contemplated by KRS
278.300, or for other lawful corporate purposes. The issue is therefore
for a lawful object within Applicant's corporate purposes, necessary and
appropriate for and consistent with the proper performance by it of its
services to the public, will not impair its ability to perform those
services, and is reasonably necessary and appropriate for such purposes.
4. Detail of Estimated Construction Expenditures, etc.
(807 KAR 5:001 SECTION 11(1)(d)):
---------------------------------------------------
Not applicable since no specific construction projects are
contemplated at this time to be funded with the proceeds from the
issuance of the Securities.
5. Discharge of Obligations (807 KAR 5:001
SECTION 11(1)(e)):
---------------------------------------
The $15 million principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 10-1/4%
Series Due June 1, 2020 contemplated to be discharged with the proceeds
from the sale of the Securities was issued under and secured by the First
Mortgage dated as of February 1, 1949, as amended through the Eleventh
Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 1, 1990, between Applicant and
The Bank of New York, Trustee. The Bonds of Series Due June 1, 2020 were
sold to underwriters on June 6, 1990 for $14,799,000 (before associated
expenses of $86,186). The proceeds of the Bonds of Series Due June 1,
2020 were used to repay a portion of the Applicant's short-term
indebtedness incurred primarily in connection with its construction
program.
The $15 million principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 10-1/4%
Series Due November 15, 2020 contemplated to be discharged with the
proceeds from the sale of the Securities was issued under and secured by
the First Mortgage dated as of February 1, 1949, as amended through the
Twelfth Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 15, 1990, between
Applicant and The Bank of New York, Trustee. The Bonds of Series Due
November 15, 2020 were sold to underwriters on November 26, 1990 for
$14,769,750 (before associated expenses of $96,599). The proceeds of the
Bonds of Series Due November 15, 2020 were used to repay a portion of the
Applicant's short-term indebtedness incurred primarily in connection with
its construction program and to redeem, at par, Applicant's $5 million
principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 15-3/8% Series Due December 15,
1991.
The $20 million principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 9.70%
Series Due 2019 contemplated to be discharged with the proceeds from the
sale of the Securities was issued under and secured by the First Mortgage
dated as of February 1, 1949, as amended through the Tenth Supplemental
Indenture dated as of July 1, 1989, between Applicant and The Bank of New
York, Trustee. The Bonds of Series Due 2019 were sold to underwriters on
July 5, 1989 for $19,745,000 (before associated expenses of $105,478).
The proceeds of the Bonds of Series Due 2019 were used to repay the
Applicant's short-term indebtedness incurred primarily in connection with
its construction program and to retire Applicant's $6.1 million principal
amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 5% Series Due July 1, 1989.
The short-term indebtedness which may be discharged with the
proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be in the form of unsecured
bank loans or other short-term obligations, including intercompany
borrowings. Authority to issue up to $35 million of short-term unsecured
promissory notes was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
on October 25, 1994, in Docket Nos. ES94-43-000 and ES94-43-001. The
interest rates on the loans to be repaid will be at the prevailing prime
commercial bank rate or lower at the date of each borrowing or renewal.

As of October 1, 1951, it executed the "First Supplemental

Indenture," as of July 1, 1959, the "Third Supplemental
Indenture," as of July 1, 1963, the "Fourth Supplemental

opinion of counsel for the Company, constitutes a direct first
lien on all the property of the Company except rents, earnings,

accounts receivable, supplies, etc. used in or held for the
operation of the business. The aggregated principal amount of
said Bonds at any time outstanding which may be secured by said

December 31, 1994, the Company had issued and outstanding
$90,000,000 principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds secured
under the terms of the Mortgage Indenture, as amended. An
Improvement and Sinking Fund provision contained in the
Mortgage provides, with respect to all series of Bonds issued
prior to 1981, in general, that on or before April 30, of
each year, the Company will deposit with the Trustee an amount
in cash and/or a principal amount of bonds equal in the
aggregate to 1% of (a) the greatest aggregate principal amount
of bonds of the applicable series theretofore outstanding at
any one time less (b) the aggregate principal amount of bonds
retired by the use of money received in consideration of any
release by the Trustee; however, the Company may credit 60% of
the lesser of cost or fair value of unfunded property additions
against the amounts otherwise to be so deposited.

for Authority to Issue and Sell up to ) Case No. 95-273-GE-AIS
$500 Million of First Mortgage Bonds, )
Secured Medium Term Notes, Senior )
Unsecured Debt, or Junior Unsecured )
Subordinated Debt )
FINDING AND ORDER
The Commission finds:
(1) Applicant, an Ohio corporation, is a public utility as defined
in Section 4905.02, Revised Code, and is subject to the
jurisdiction of this Commission.
(2) The Application is filed under the provisions of Sections
4905.40 and 4905.41, Revised Code.
(3) Applicant proposes to issue and sell, through March 31, 1996,
not more than $500 million aggregate principal amount of first
mortgage bonds (the "New Bonds"), secured medium term notes
(the "Notes"), senior unsecured indebtedness (the "Senior
Debentures"), or junior unsecured subordinated indebtedness
(the "Subordinated Debt"), or any combination thereof
(collectively referred as "the Securities"), in one or more
series, consistent with the parameters as set forth in the
Application and Exhibits.
(4) The New Bonds and the Notes will be issued under and secured
by the First Mortgage Indenture dated August 1, 1936, between
Applicant and The Bank of New York, Trustee, as previously
amended and supplemented, and to be further supplemented by
one or more supplemental indentures. The Senior Debentures
and the Subordinated Debt will be issued under a loan
agreement or similar document, or an indenture or indentures,
as described in the Application.
(5) Applicant proposes to either (a) sell the Securities to one or
more underwriters through a negotiated offering, or (b) sell
the securities through a competitive bidding process, as
described in the Application.
(6) The proposed guidelines or parameters set forth in the
Application are intended to facilitate the issuance of the
Securities on the best terms possible and at the lowest cost.
The authorization of the sale of the Securities within the
parameters set forth in the Application in no way relieves the
Applicant of its responsibilities to negotiate and obtain the
best terms available.
(7) The proceeds from the issuance of the Securities will be used
to refund a portion of Applicant's outstanding debt and
preferred stock and for other general corporate purposes,
pursuant to Section 4905.40, Revised Code.
(8) The effect on the Applicant's revenue requirements resulting
from the issuance of the Securities will be reflected in the
determination of required revenue in rate proceedings in which
all factors affecting rates are taken into account according
to law.
(9) The maximum amount of the Securities, the probable cost, price
to Applicant, and other terms thereof, within the parameters
set forth in the Application and Exhibits, to be determined by
means of private arm's length negotiations or through
competitive bidding, do not appear to be unjust or
unreasonable.
(10) Based on information contained in the Application, the
exhibits thereto, and other documentary information to which
the Commission has access, the purposes to which the proceeds
from the Securities shall be applied appear to be reasonably
required by the Applicant to meet its present and prospective
obligations to provide utility service and the Commission is
satisfied that consent and authority should be granted.
It is, therefore,
ORDERED, That The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company is authorized
to issue and sell, in one or more series, through March 31, 1996, not
more than $500 million aggregate principal amount of first mortgage
bonds, secured medium term notes, senior unsecured indebtedness or junior
unsecured subordinated indebtedness, or any combination thereof,
consistent with the parameters as set forth in the Application and
Exhibits. It is, further,
ORDERED, That Applicant is authorized to apply the net proceeds
from the sale of the Securities for the purposes set forth in this Order
and otherwise pursuant to Section 4905.40, Revised Code. It is, further,
ORDERED, That after the Securities authorized by this Order are
issued, Applicant shall report to this Commission as soon as practicable
the terms and full particulars regarding each sale of the Securities and
shall file with the Commission the executed copy of the loan agreement or
similar documents, or an indenture or indentures, as applicable. It is,
further,
ORDERED, That Applicant shall account for the issuance of the
Securities as prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Uniform System of Accounts as currently in effect. It is, further,
ORDERED, That nothing in this Order shall be construed to imply
any guaranty or obligation by the Commission to assure completion of any
specific construction project of the Applicant. It is, further,
ORDERED, That nothing in this Order shall be construed to imply
any guaranty, or obligation as to the Securities, or the associated
interest, on the part of the State of Ohio. It is, further,
ORDERED, That nothing in this Order shall be deemed to be binding
upon this Commission in any future proceeding or investigation involving
the justness or reasonableness of any rate, charge, rule or regulation of
the Applicant. It is, further,
ORDERED, That a copy of this Order be served upon all parties of
record.

and junior unsecured subordinated indebtedness (the Junior Securities).
In addition, Union Light sees authorization to issue and sell, from time
to time through March 31, 1997, an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $55 million of unsecured indebtedness (the Union Debentures). The
Senior Debentures and the Union Debentures are hereinafter referred to
collectively as "the Senior Securities", and the Senior and Junior
Securities are hereinafter referred to collectively as "the Securities".
CG&E and Union Light are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually
as an "Operating Affiliate" and collectively as the "Operating
Affiliates."
The Operating Affiliates, in conjunction with potential
underwriters, have developed parameters under which the Securities are to
be sold. The parameters, as hereinafter discussed, are designed to
provide a reasonable allowance for potential changes in financial market
conditions between the time of Commission authorization and the actual
sale of the Securities. The parameters allow each Operating Affiliate to
sell the Securities on any day when it believes it is prudent to do so
provided the terms are within the parameters.
The Operating Affiliates have several high coupon series of first
mortgage bonds that are, or will shortly become, optionally redeemable
and can be re-financed through the issuance of lower cost debt. Proceeds
from the sale of the Senior Securities will be used directly or
indirectly to refund some or all of redeemable high-coupon debt issues.
Any balance of net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Securities will
be used for general corporate purposes. None of such proceeds will be
used by CG&E or Union Light to acquire, directly or indirectly, an
interest in an exempt wholesale generator (EWG) or foreign utility
company (FUCO) as defined in the Act.
The Senior Securities (1) will be issued at a price no higher than
101.5% nor less than 98% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest,
if any, with underwriting commissions and agents' fees not to exceed
1.25% of the principal amount, (2) may be issued in one or more new
series for terms not to exceed 40 years, and (3) will be issued at an
interest rate which results in a yield to maturity to the purchaser at
the initial offering price, depending on the maturity of the Security
issued, of up to a maximum of (a) 225 basis points for the Senior
Debentures, or (b) 200 basis points for the Union Debentures, over the
yield to maturity on United States Treasury Notes and United States
Treasury Bonds of comparable maturities. Interest on the Senior
Securities will be paid on a semi-annual basis.
CG&E currently has preferred stock that is or will become
optionally redeemable. Proceeds from the sale of the Junior Securities
are anticipated to be used directly or indirectly to redeem outstanding
preferred stock. Any balance of net proceeds from the sale of the Junior
Securities will be used for general corporate purposes. None of such
proceeds will be used by CG&E to acquire, directly or indirectly, an
interest in an EWG or FUCO as defined in the Act.
The Junior Securities (1) will be issued at a price no higher than
101.5% nor less than 98% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest,
if any, with underwriting commissions and agents' fees not to exceed
3.50% of the principal amount, (2) may be issued in one or more new
series for terms not to exceed 40 years, and (3) will be issued at an
interest rate which results in a yield to maturity to the purchaser at
the initial offering price, depending on the maturity of the Security
issued, of up to a maximum of 225 basis points over the yield to maturity
on United States Treasury Notes and United States Treasury Bonds of
comparable maturities. Interest on the Junior Securities will be paid on
either a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, and CG&E may
have the right to defer payment of interest on its Junior Securities for
up to five years under certain situations.
For each offering of the Securities, the Operating Affiliates
propose to either (a) sell the Securities to one or more underwriters
through a negotiated offering or (b) sell the Securities through a
competitive bidding process. In the event one or more series of the
Securities are sold through a negotiated offering, the terms of such
Securities will be negotiated by the Operating Affiliate(s) either with a
group of underwriters headed by managing underwriters or with one or more
underwriters, with a limited number of purchasers or with a single
purchaser for a direct sale or for a sale through agents. If one or more
series of the Securities are sold through competitive bidding, such
Securities will be sold to the bidder(s) whose proposal results in the
lowest annual cost of money, with the Operating Affiliate(s) having the
right to reject any or all bids. Each of the bidders will be required to
specify the coupon rate and the price, exclusive of accrued interest, to
be paid for the Securities. The redemption premiums with respect to the
Securities will also be established as a result of the negotiations or as
part of a competitive bidding process. After approval of the terms for
each offering by each Operating Affiliate's Board of Directors, by an
authorized committee thereof, or by persons authorized by the Operating
Affiliate's Board of Directors, it is anticipated that an underwriting
agreement setting forth the terms of the Securities of that offering
would be executed.
It is expected that a new indenture would be used by each
Operating Affiliate for the respective Securities issued by that
Operating Affiliate. A separate supplemental indenture would be executed
by the respective Operating Affiliate covering terms of the Securities
from each offering.
The indenture will provide that, unless otherwise provided in a
supplemental indenture or a Board Resolution, the Securities will be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full
of all secured obligations of the respective Operating Affiliate, with
the Junior Securities being junior in such rights to the Senior
Debentures, whether outstanding as of the date of each indenture or
thereafter incurred. The Securities will have no cross-default
provisions with respect to other indebtedness of each Operating Affiliate
or between Operating Affiliates.
For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
pursuant to delegated authority.
