In addition to historical information, the information presented in this communication includes forward-looking statements within the 
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements involve estimates, expectations,
projections, goals, assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and can typically be identified by terminology such as “may,”
“will,” “should,” “could,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “think,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “target,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  Such
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction between
NRG and GenOn, each party’s and the combined company’s future revenues, income, indebtedness, capital structure, plans, expectations,
objectives, projected financial performance and/or business results and other future events, each party’s views of economic and market
conditions, and the expected timing of the completion of the proposed transaction.
Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual events or results may differ materially from any forward-
looking statement as result of various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those relating to: the ability to satisfy the
conditions to the proposed transaction between NRG and GenOn, the ability to successfully complete the proposed transaction (including any
financing arrangements in connection therewith) in accordance with its terms and in accordance with expected schedule, the ability to obtain
stockholder, antitrust, regulatory or other approvals for the proposed transaction, or an inability to obtain them on the terms proposed or on
the anticipated schedule, diversion of management attention on transaction-related issues, impact of the transaction on relationships with
customers, suppliers and employees, the ability to finance the combined business post-closing and the terms on which such financing may be
available, the financial performance of the combined company following completion of the proposed transaction, the ability to successfully

savings and other synergies) or the risk that anticipated benefits may take longer to realize than expected, legislative, regulatory and/or
market developments, the outcome of pending or threatened lawsuits, regulatory or tax proceedings or investigations, the effects of
competition or regulatory intervention, financial and economic market conditions, access to capital, the timing and extent of changes in law
and regulation (including environmental), commodity prices, prevailing demand and market prices for electricity, capacity, fuel and emissions
allowances, weather conditions, operational constraints or outages, fuel supply or transmission issues, hedging ineffectiveness.
Additional information concerning other risk factors is contained in NRG's and GenOn's most recently filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K,
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings.
Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond NRG's or GenOn's ability to control or predict. Because of these risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither NRG nor GenOn undertakes any obligation to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this communication. All subsequent written and
oral forward-looking statements concerning NRG, GenOn, the proposed transaction, the combined company or other matters and attributable
