DYNEGY RESPONDS TO ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD DECISION

 

HOUSTON (June 6, 2013) — Dynegy Inc. (NYSE:DYN) and Ameren (NYSE: AEE) remain committed to completing the transaction for the acquisition of Ameren Energy Resources (AER) and its subsidiaries by Dynegy’s subsidiary, Illinois Power Holdings (IPH). Today the Illinois Pollution Control Board rejected, on procedural grounds, Ameren Energy Resources and Illinois Power Holding Company’s motion to transfer variance relief from Illinois’ Multi-Pollutant Standard.  The Board indicated that IPH is free to file a request for variance relief. IPH and AER will pursue such relief before the Board and are confident that the Board will ultimately grant IPH and AER’s requests.  The companies anticipate such a filing will be made in the near future.
