Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, Edison Mission Energy and nineteen of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Midwest Generation, LLC (collectively, the “Debtors”) are debtors and debtors in possession pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  On November 15, 2013, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and a related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.  Copies of the Plan and Disclosure Statement are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.  Copies of the Plan and Disclosure Statement are also publicly available and may be accessed free of charge at the website established for the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases by the Debtors’ notice and claims agent at http://www. edisonmissionrestructuring.com.  The information set forth on the foregoing website shall not be deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The Debtors recommend that their stakeholders refer to the limitations and qualifications included in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, as applicable, with respect to the information contained therein.  Information contained in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments to the Plan, actions of third parties or otherwise.

 

The Bankruptcy Code does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the Plan until the Bankruptcy Court approves the Disclosure Statement.  Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan.  The Plan will become effective only if it receives the requisite stakeholder approval, if confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, and if certain terms and conditions are satisfied or waived.  There can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the Disclosure Statement, that the Debtors’ stakeholders will vote to accept the Plan, that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan, or that the plan will be consummated.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

Registration statements or other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) shall not incorporate the Schedules and Statements or any other information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a significant amount of uncertainty, in particular regarding the chapter 11 cases, the Debtors’ ability to consummate one or more plans of reorganization.  Factors both within and outside the control of EME will affect the accuracy of this forward-looking information.  Furthermore, the information is subject to assumptions, qualifications and performance criteria not otherwise described in the information presented.
