ITEM 7.01 — REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. Calpine Corporation’s subsidiary Calpine Energy Services, Inc. (together “Calpine”) has certain business relationships with subsidiaries of Lehman. However, neither Lehman nor its subsidiaries are a party to Calpine’s corporate credit or liquidity facilities; nor are they currently engaged in any advisory capacity with Calpine or its subsidiaries. Calpine believes the Lehman bankruptcy and its potential impact on subsidiaries of Lehman will not have a material adverse effect on Calpine or its subsidiaries.

Calpine is a counterparty with Eagle Energy Partners I, L.P. (“Eagle”), a subsidiary of Lehman, in wholesale energy marketing transactions. As of September 15, 2008, Calpine did not have a net credit exposure to Eagle. Calpine is a counterparty to Lehman Brothers Commodities Services Inc. (“Lehman Commodities”) on a single small transaction under which there is a receivable from Lehman Commodities of less than $10,000. Calpine is informed that neither Eagle nor Lehman Commodities has filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws.
