Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
          Based upon a recommendation of its Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors of PPL Corporation (the "Company") has made the following revisions to the compensation of each Director who is not an officer or employee of the Company (each, an "Outside Director"), effective January 1, 2006:
 
(i)  the annual retainer for Outside Directors has been increased from $85,000 to $95,000, and the minimum amount of the annual retainer that must be allocated to the Outside Directors’ deferred stock accounts under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (which is available to the Outside Directors after their retirement from the Board) has been increased from $55,000 to $60,000; and
 
(ii)  the annual cash retainer for Chairs of the Committees of the Board of Directors has been increased from $5,000 to $6,000.
 
Except for these revisions, the compensation of the Outside Directors remains as provided in the Company’s 2005 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement under "Compensation of Directors". Directors who are Company employees receive no separate compensation for service on the Board of Directors or Committees of the Board of Directors.
