EXPLANATORY NOTE |
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to amend the registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-8 (File No. 333-96687), pursuant to which Pepco Holdings, Inc. (the "Registrant") registered 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), and an indeterminate amount of plan interests, for offer and sale pursuant to (i) the Potomac Electric Power Company Savings Plan for Exempt Employees (the "Exempt Plan"), (ii) the Potomac Electric Power Company Savings Plan for Non-Bargaining Unit, Non-Exempt Employees (the "Non-Bargaining Plan") and (iii) the Potomac Electric Power Company Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees (the "Bargaining Unit Plan"). |
On December 31, 2004, the Non-Bargaining Plan merged with and into the Exempt Plan which was renamed as the Pepco Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan for Management Employees (the "Management Plan"). Effective January 1, 2006, the Registrant (i) established the Pepco Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Retirement Savings Plan"), which is an amalgam of, and accordingly a successor to, several plans administered by the Registrant, including (1) the Management Plan and (2) the Bargaining Unit Plan and (ii) has filed a new registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, registering shares of Common Stock and plan participation interests issuable under the Retirement Savings Plan. Accordingly, no additional shares of Common Stock or plan participation interests will be offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. |
Accordingly, in accordance with its undertaking to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the registered securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement to remove from registration an aggregate of 2,008,065 shares of Common Stock and an indeterminate amount of plan participation interests. |
