On May 8, 2017, PPL Electric Utilities Corporation (“PPL Electric”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the offering and sale by PPL Electric of $475 million of 3.950% First Mortgage Bonds due 2047 (the “Bonds”).

The Bonds were issued on May 11, 2017, under PPL Electric’s Indenture (the “2001 Indenture”), dated as of August 1, 2001, to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as previously supplemented and as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 19 thereto (the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of May 1, 2017 (collectively, the “Indenture”). The Bonds will be secured by the lien of the Indenture, which creates a lien on substantially all of PPL Electric’s distribution properties and certain of its transmission properties, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions, as described therein.

The Bonds are due June 1, 2047, subject to early redemption. PPL Electric will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to repay short term indebtedness.

The Bonds were offered and sold under PPL Electric’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-202290-01).

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1(a) to this report and incorporated herein by reference. The Supplemental Indenture and Officer’s Certificate are filed with this report as Exhibits 4(a) and 4(b), respectively.
