Pepco Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements For the Period January 13, 2006 to December 31, 2006 |
NOTE 1 - General Description |
The following description of the Pepco Holdings, Inc Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan, provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). |
Plan Merger - Effective January 13, 2006 |
In October 2005, the Pepco Holdings, Inc ("PHI" or the "Company") Administrative Board approved an amendment to create the Pepco Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") by merging four existing PHI savings plans into a single plan with Vanguard as the trustee and recordkeeper. The predecessor plans were the 1) Potomac Electric Power Company Savings Plan for Management Employees, 2) the Potomac Electric Power Company Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees, 3) the Conectiv Savings and Investment Plan, and 4) the Atlantic Electric 401k Savings and Investment Plan B. |
In October 2005, amendments were approved to structure the plans with a single Master Plan and five sub plans (Management, Local 1900, Local 1238, Local 1307, Local 210 and Local 210-5). Further, the amendments 1) redefined the Plan year as a calendar year, January 1 through December 31; 2) provided immediate eligibility to part time employees working more than 20 hours per week; 3) increased contribution maximums to 65% of base salary, pre-tax or after-tax or any combination thereof; 4) allowed matching funds on after-tax contributions; 5) added tax delinquencies to the list of hardship causes and removed "other withdrawals" from the hardship rules; 6) increased the maximum number of loans a participant can have from two to four; and 7) allowed for periodic partial post-retirement withdrawals. These amendments became effective January 13, 2006. |
Also, in 2005 as part of the integration of all PHI Savings Plans, the Investment Committee approved a new list of investment options. The options included: 1) six (6) age-based target retirement funds; 2) nine (9) core funds including PHI Common Stock Fund and a Stable Value Fund; and, 3) 51 other investment funds available through a mutual fund window. These amendments became effective January 13, 2006. In 2006, the Investment Committee approved the inclusion of five (5) additional age-based target retirement funds. |
Designation of Trustee |
The Plan's Trustee is Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company ("Vanguard") of Malvern, PA. The Plan's investments are held in a trust account at Vanguard and consist of a specific interest in the Pepco Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust ("the Trust"). |
Designation of Recordkeeper |
The Vanguard Group serves as the Plan's record keeper. |

Vesting |
Participants are 100% vested and have a nonforfeitable interest, in their own contributions, and in the Company matching contributions, including any earnings or losses thereon. However, participants in the Local 1900 Sub Plan are 100% vested in the Pepco Company matching contributions at the earlier of (1) the date on which a participant completes three years of service with the Company, (2) the date of a participant's retirement, (3) the date of a participant's death, (4) the date a participant begins a period of disability, or (5) the date a participant reaches age 65. |
The Plan allows participants to diversify their vested Company matching contributions regardless of age or years of participation in the Plan. |
At December 31, 2006, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $2,118. This amount will be used to reduce future employer contributions or fund administrative expenses by the Plan. |
Participant Accounts |
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, the Company's matching contribution, and earnings (losses) attributable to the participant's investments. Participant accounts are impacted by expenses charged by the funds and disclosed in the Funds' prospectus. Also, certain funds charge redemption fees that are also paid by the participant. All other administrative fees are paid by the Plan. |
Participants may elect to have their contributions invested, in multiples of 1%, in one or more of the available investment funds. The investment options were selected by the PHI Investment Committee and are intended to provide diversified categories of investments with different risk and return characteristics that will enable participants to create an investment portfolio to meet their individual goals, depending on the level of risk they are willing to accept. |
Effective July 1, 1998, the U.S. Savings Bond Fund was closed to any new contributions to the fund. |
Participants can transfer all or part of their contribution balance and related earnings in any fund to any other fund with the exception of the U.S. Savings Bond Fund or as may be limited by rules of a specific investment fund. Participants may change the allocation of their future contributions among the funds at any time. |

Distributions and Withdrawals |
If a participant retires, dies, becomes permanently disabled, or otherwise separates from the Company, the participant or participant's beneficiary is entitled to the full amount of his account as valued on the applicable valuation date. In the event of a participant's death, distribution of the participant's account balance will be made as soon as administratively practicable upon the receipt of appropriate documentation from the designated beneficiary. Distributions for reasons of retirement, permanent disability or termination will be made upon written request. Distributions of a participant's account may be made in (1) a lump sum cash payment (2) in regular installments for a period not exceeding the joint and survivor life expectancy of the participant and his or her spouse or other beneficiary or (3) partial lump sums upon the request of the participant, with certain limitations stated in the Plan document. Distributions from the Pepco Holdings, Inc. Common Stock Fund may be made in PHI common stock or cash. Distributions cannot be deferred beyond age 70 -1/2. |
While employed, upon written notice, a participant may make certain withdrawals of vested contributions. Pre-Tax employee contributions can only withdrawn for the reason of financial hardship, as defined in the Plan document. At the age of 59-1/2, the participant may withdraw any portion of his or her account balance. |
After making a hardship withdrawal of pre-tax contributions, a participant is prohibited from making contributions or receiving Company matching contributions for a period of six months. A participant with less than 60 months of Plan participation will incur a six-month suspension period upon making any withdrawal of his or her after-tax contributions. During this suspension period, no matching contributions will be credited to the participant's account. |
Distributions from the Pepco Holdings Stock Fund are made in shares of Company common stock unless the participant elects to receive cash. U.S. Savings bonds purchased with pre- or after-tax contributions are reinvested at maturity and can only be withdrawn from the Plan upon termination of employment, attainment of age 59-1/2 or during permissible periods as determined by the Plan. Distributions from the U.S. Savings Bond Fund are distributed in cash or bonds as elected by the employee. Distributions from any of the other Plan funds are made in cash. |
Loan to Participants |
Loans are available to participants from amounts attributable to before- and/or after-tax contributions, subject to U.S. Department of Labor and Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") limitations. The Plan requires that a minimum of $1,000 be borrowed by a participant. A one time per loan fee of $50 is deducted from the participant's account with Vanguard at the time of distribution. The number and amount of loans allowed to a participant are restricted by the Plan and are consistent with IRS regulations. A participant can have up to four loans outstanding at any time with maximum term lengths of five years, or 30 years for a primary residence. The prevailing prime rate (quoted by Reuters |

at the end of the month prior to the month of the loan) is applied as the interest rate for the loan. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions or by prepayment in a lump sum. Upon termination from the Company, a participant can elect to continue to make loan repayments. If the loan repayments are not made, the loan will be in default and is converted to a distribution at the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the first payment amount was missed, or approximately 90 days. |
Plan Administration and Termination |
The Plan is administered by the PHI Administrative Board, which is appointed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. All contributions to the Plan are held in trust by Vanguard, the Plan Trustee, for the exclusive benefit of the participants. The Company generally pays the trustee fees and other administrative expenses of the Plan, while the participants pay expenses charged by the funds and disclosed in the Funds prospectus. |
The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Interests in the Plan are not insured by the Company and are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, an agency of the United States government. |
Although the Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, it reserves the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any time. In the event of the termination of the Plan, all Company contributions become immediately vested to Plan participants. |
NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies |
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits. |
The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, the Plan's interest in the net investment income (loss) in the Trust, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those Trust investments. |

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at net asset value of shares held by the Master Trust at December 31, 2006. Company common stock held in the Pepco Holdings Common Stock Fund ("the Stock Fund") is valued at fair market value, measured by the current quoted market price at December 31, 2006. Participants' holdings in the Stock Fund are represented by units in the Stock Fund and does not represent direct ownership of PHI common shares, the value of which was $11.29 per unit at December 31, 2006, versus PHI common stock, which was valued at $26.01 per share at December 31, 2006. |
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest on interest bearing cash, participant loans and money market accounts is recorded when earned. Participants with investments in the Stock Fund have an option to receive any dividends paid on PHI stock held in the Stock Fund and allocated to units within the Stock Fund or reinvest those dividends to purchase additional units in the PHI Stock Fund. |
United States Savings Bonds, Series EE, which were purchased prior to July 1, 1998 on behalf of those participants electing to invest through the U.S. Savings Bonds Fund, are reported at original cost, which approximates fair value. |
Loans to participants are valued at cost, which approximates fair market value. |
Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid. |
NOTE 3 - Stable Value Fund |
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position "FSP AAG INV-1" and Statement of Position "SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans" (collectively "the FSP"), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. |
The Plan invests in investment contracts through the Pepco Holdings Stable Value Fund which is comprised of two underlying stable value funds; Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust and Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio both of which are included in tax-exempt common collective trusts. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investments in the stable value funds as well as the adjustment of the investments in the stable value funds from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefit is prepared on a contract value basis. |
