- The charge for an estimated probable loss relating to Mississippi Power Company's construction of the integrated coal gasification combined cycle facility in Kemper County, Mississippi (Kemper IGCC) and the charge related to the restructuring of a leveraged lease investment that was completed on March 1, 2013 significantly impacted the presentation of earnings and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and similar charges are not expected to occur with any regularity in the future.
