On February 24, 2006, House Bill 5766 was introduced in the Illinois General Assembly and was referred to the Rules Committee.

A copy of the bill is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K. On February 20, 2006, Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) issued a press release concerning its opposition to potential legislation that might result in an extension of the rate freeze in Illinois. A copy of this press release and related information was included in the Report on Form 8-K that was filed on February 21, 2006.
