Merger Agreement
On September 19, 2008, Constellation Energy Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Constellation”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Constellation, MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company, an Iowa corporation (“MidAmerican”), and MEHC Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of MidAmerican (the “Merger Sub”). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this report.
As discussed below, simultaneous with execution of the Merger Agreement, MidAmerican agreed to make a $1 billion investment into Constellation, in exchange for shares of 8% convertible preferred stock of Constellation. It is expected that such investment will be completed on September 22, 2008, in accordance with the terms of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2008, by and between Constellation and MidAmerican (the “Purchase Agreement”), described below and the other related documents (also described below). Neither the preferred stock nor the securities received upon conversion of the preferred stock will entitle MidAmerican to vote on approval of the Merger (as defined below).
Merger. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Constellation on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), with Constellation continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result of the Merger, Constellation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MidAmerican.
Merger Consideration. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, without par value, of Constellation (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock owned by MidAmerican or by any wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation or MidAmerican) shall be converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of $26.50 per share, without interest.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Non-Solicitation. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of both Constellation and MidAmerican. These covenants include an obligation of Constellation to conduct its business in a manner substantially consistent with its current practice. In addition, if Constellation chooses to do so, it will be permitted to operate consistent with a new business plan (following the adoption of the new business plan once proposed by Constellation and consented to by MidAmerican) that provides for a reduction in the leverage and risk volatility of Constellation’s trading operation. The Merger Agreement also prohibits Constellation from initiating, soliciting or encouraging alternative takeover proposals and limits Constellation’s ability to engage in negotiations regarding unsolicited alternative takeover proposals or to withdraw, modify or amend the recommendation of the Constellation board of directors to the Constellation shareholders in favor of the approval of the Merger. Under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement, Constellation may engage in negotiations regarding unsolicited alternative takeover proposals or to withdraw, modify or amend the recommendation of the Constellation board of directors to the Constellation shareholders in favor of the approval of the Merger, however, Constellation may not terminate the Merger Agreement upon a change of the recommendation until the Constellation shareholders have voted on and failed to approve the Merger.
Closing Conditions. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified closing conditions, including (i) the approval of the Merger by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, (ii) the receipt of required regulatory approvals, (iii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (iv) the absence of the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on Constellation from the date of the Merger Agreement, (v) all unsecured senior debt of Constellation being rated investment grade or better with no less than a stable outlook by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, Inc. and Fitch, Inc., (vi) the receipt of
payoff letters from the lenders under Constellation’s credit facilities or the receipt of a waiver from such lenders of any default under the credit facilities as a result of the Merger, (vii) the receipt of waivers of employees, officers or directors of Constellation of any rights to receive equity in the surviving corporation in the Merger as a result of any change of control or severance agreement (all of which have been obtained by Constellation as described in Item 5.02 of this report below), (viii) MidAmerican not having determined that either the retail and/or wholesale businesses or assets of Constellation and its subsidiaries and joint ventures taken as a whole have materially deteriorated since June 30, 2008 (the parties agreeing in the Merger Agreement that an adverse change in the net economic value of such businesses or assets in excess of $400 million since June 30, 2008 will be deemed material), and (ix) other customary closing conditions.
Termination; Termination Fees. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, MidAmerican may terminate the agreement on or prior to the expiration date of the period ending fourteen days following the later of (i) September 18, 2008 and (ii) the date MidAmerican and Constellation mutually agree that MidAmerican and its representatives have been given full access to Constellation’s books and records and personnel relating to the retail and wholesale businesses (the “Due Diligence Termination Date”), if MidAmerican determines that, since June 30, 2008 to the date of termination, either the retail and/or wholesale businesses or assets of Constellation and its subsidiaries and joint ventures taken as a whole have materially deteriorated (the parties agreeing in the Merger Agreement that for this purpose an adverse change in the net economic value of such businesses or assets in excess of $200 million from June 30, 2008 will be deemed material) (the “Limited Due Diligence Termination Right”). The Merger Agreement also includes other customary termination rights of the parties to the agreement. Upon the termination of the Merger Agreement (other than in the case of the exercise by MidAmerican of the Limited Due Diligence Termination Right or a termination by Constellation as a result of the breach of the agreement by MidAmerican) after the Due Diligence Termination Date, Constellation will be required to pay MidAmerican a termination fee of $175 million.
Limitation of Remedies. Constellation agreed in the Merger Agreement that its remedies would be limited to damage claims, with the maximum aggregate liability of MidAmerican for losses or damages in connection with the Merger Agreement being limited in amount to $1 billion. Constellation’s recourse for such losses or damages is limited to the securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or upon conversion thereof (as described below) or the proceeds of the redemption or repayment of the preferred stock or notes included therein.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Stock Purchase Agreement
On September 19, 2008, Constellation entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with MidAmerican providing for the private placement of 10,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Constellation (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1 billion. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Company Common Stock and senior unsecured promissory notes (the “14% Senior Notes”) of Constellation. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for Constellation and MidAmerican, as the case may be: by mutual consent; if the closing has not occurred by September 24, 2008; if a final, non-appealable judgment or order is in place that prohibits the investment; and if the Merger Agreement is terminated. The Purchase Agreement is also subject to customary conditions precedent applicable to both parties, including by MidAmerican if a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred since the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The parties expect the investment to be completed on September 22, 2008, immediately following acceptance by the State of Maryland of the Articles Supplementary (which are defined and described below).
Series A Preferred Stock
In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Constellation will file articles supplementary (“Articles Supplementary”) with the State of Maryland that designates certain preferences, conversion and other rights, and the terms and condition of redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Articles Supplementary are to be filed with the State of Maryland on September 22, 2008. Under the Articles Supplementary, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes of common stock of Constellation and accrues dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, subject to certain adjustments, payable quarterly in cash. In the event of a liquidation or change of control, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 100% of the stated value for each share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.
Under the Articles Supplementary and the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined and discussed below), Constellation has agreed to increase the number of members of its Board of Directors by one, and MidAmerican has the right to nominate one individual to the new directorship so long as MidAmerican and its affiliates beneficially own at least 33.3% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that was originally issued to MidAmerican. The Board of Directors of Constellation must include such nominee in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors for election at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders of Constellation and for reelection at every meeting thereafter, so long as MidAmerican retains the nomination right. If MidAmerican does not exercise its right to nominate one individual to the new directorship, it may appoint a board observer who has the right to attend and participate in all meetings of, and receive all material distributed to, the Board of Directors (subject to customary exceptions), but is not be entitled to vote at meetings of the Board of Directors or any committees thereof.
The Articles Supplementary provide that so long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, Constellation may not, without the vote of more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class (i) amend any provision of Constellation’s charter or bylaws in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or issue any senior stock or parity stock or any security convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of senior stock or parity stock; (ii) authorize or effect a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (iii) amend any provision of Constellation’s or a subsidiary’s charter or bylaws or issue any shares of capital stock having a right to dividends (other than the Company Common Stock) or redemption; (iv) (a) incur indebtedness other than as specified in the Articles Supplementary, (b) increase the amount of Constellation’s regular quarterly common stock dividend, (c) pay or distribute assets to holders of Constellation’s capital stock or (d) engage in a self tender offer, redemption or share repurchase (whether privately negotiated or open market repurchases); (v) if dividends have not been paid in full to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock on two consecutive dividend payment dates, take any action that requires the approval of holders of common stock or other capital stock, other than the
election of members of the Board of Directors and the ratification of Constellation’s independent auditor at Constellation’s regularly scheduled annual stockholders meeting; or (vi) enter into any transaction with any officer, director or beneficial owner of five percent or more of the common stock or any affiliate, other than employment and compensation arrangements for officers, employees and directors in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.
In addition, the Articles Supplementary provide that on September 22, 2010, Constellation shall, and in the event that MidAmerican exercises the Limited Due Diligence Termination Right pursuant to the Merger Agreement, for a period of 180 days after the date MidAmerican exercises such right, Constellation has the right to, redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to 100% of the stated value for each share of Series Preferred Stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, subject to the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock in the case of an intervening liquidation or change of control. The Series A Preferred Stock will not be convertible during this six-month period. In addition, if Constellation terminates the Merger Agreement due to a breach by MidAmerican or Merger Sub, the Series A Preferred Stock will not be convertible and Constellation will have a period of two years from the termination date to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to 100% of the stated value for each share of Series Preferred Stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, subject to the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock in the case of an intervening liquidation or change of control.
Upon the occurrence of a conversion event (as described below), each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into (A) the number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (i) 19.9% of Constellation’s outstanding shares of common stock on September 22, 2008 divided by (ii) 10,000, subject to certain adjustments, and (B) $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of Constellation’s 14% Senior Notes (described below). In the event Constellation has not received all regulatory approvals required for the issuance of the shares of common stock due to a holder upon conversion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Constellation must make a cash payment to the holder in lieu of the issuance of the shares of common stock that are otherwise due to such holder in amount equal to (i) the number of shares of common stock issuable to such holder and not issued multiplied by (ii) $26.50, subject to certain adjustments. Under the Articles Supplementary, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible upon the first to occur of (i) the date that is 180 days following the date MidAmerican exercises its limited due diligence termination right if Constellation has not redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock as of such date, (ii) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated (other than upon exercise of the Limited Due Diligence Termination Right or due to a breach of the Merger Agreement by MidAmerican or Merger Sub) and (iii) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement due to a failure to close the Merger by the outside date specified in the Merger (nine months from the date of the Merger Agreement, subject to a three-month extension as specified in the Merger Agreement).

The 14% Senior Notes will be in an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion and will accrue dividends at a rate of 14% per annum, payable monthly in cash.

Upon an event of default (as defined in the 14% Senior Notes), holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may declare the 14% Senior Notes due and payable;provided, however, that an event of default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, then the 14% Senior Notes will automatically become due and payable.
