Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 15, 2012, Edison Mission Group and Mission Energy Holding Company modified certain tax sharing agreements to provide for expiration of the agreements by their terms with respect to EME and its direct and indirect subsidiaries at the close of the tax year ending December 31, 2013.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreements as modified, unless terminated earlier or further modified or extended, EME would no longer participate in the tax allocation agreements with respect to any tax years after 2013 and consequently no longer receive tax allocation payments for tax years after 2013.

 

Discussions are ongoing among EME, Edison International, and advisors to EME’s noteholders regarding potential restructuring transactions of EME.
