ITEM 2.01 — COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
As previously disclosed, Puget Sound Energy, Inc. (“PSE”) was the successful bidder at an auction on February 5, 2007, pursuant to procedures approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) in which our Chapter 11 cases are pending. In connection with the auction process, Goldendale Energy Center, LLC (“Goldendale”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Calpine Generating Company, LLC, entered into an amended Membership Interests Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) with PSE to sell to PSE substantially all of the assets (the “Acquired Assets”) of the Goldendale Energy Center, an approximately 250-MW natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant owned by Goldendale and located in Goldendale, Washington for approximately $120 million in cash plus the assumption by PSE of certain liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”). The Bankruptcy Court approved the MIPA on February 7, 2007, and on February 21, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), the sale was closed.
The Acquired Assets consist of all real property and entitlements owned by Goldendale and all personal property owned by Goldendale and used exclusively or primarily in connection with the operation of the facility, including spare parts, machinery, furniture and fixtures. Also included are all of Goldendale’s rights under customer and supplier contracts, service agreements, purchase orders, transmission agreements and equipment leases. The Assumed Liabilities include all of Goldendale’s liabilities and obligations under assigned contracts after the Closing Date, all liabilities and obligations for any taxes related to the Acquired Assets after the Closing Date, all environmental liabilities whether arising prior to or after the Closing Date and all liabilities and obligations arising as a result of the operation of the Acquired Assets after the Closing Date. Certain specifically excluded assets and liabilities remain with Goldendale.
At closing and pursuant to the MIPA, Goldendale created a new single member Delaware limited liability company (the “New LLC”) and transferred all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets to New LLC, and PSE transferred the required proceeds to Goldendale, thereby purchasing 100% of the equity ownership interest in New LLC.
ITEM 2.05 — COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
We estimate that we will incur approximately $1.5 million of various transaction fees including investment banking, legal and tax costs as a result of the sale, and we expect to record a pre-tax gain of approximately $30 million as a result of the sale.
The order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the sale also provides that we will not be required to repay any debt nor incur additional prepayment or redemption penalties related to our debt as a result of the sale of Goldendale assets.
ITEM 9.01 — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.
Not Applicable
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
As disclosed in Item 2.01 of this 8-K, on February 21, 2007, we closed on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Goldendale to PSE. Upon closing of the sale, we no longer hold any interest or ownership in the Acquired Assets nor any operations of Goldendale related to the Acquired Assets. The pro forma financial information below gives effect to the disposition of such assets and operations of Goldendale, which will be accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

(2) | Cash, receivables and prepayments existing prior to the sale of the Goldendale facility will remain with CalGen in accordance with the MIPA. |
(3) | Reflects receipt of the Goldendale net sale proceeds. |
(4) | Under the agreements governing the Notes and Term Loans, CalGen is obligated to offer to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Goldendale facility to repurchase the Notes and Term Loans. On January 17, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court approved a motion which no longer requires CalGen to use the Goldendale sale proceeds to offer to repurchase the Notes and Term Loans. The CalGen Secured Debt and related interest expense is allocated to all CalGen facilities. The debt, deferred financing costs and accrued interest payable presented represents Goldendale's allocable portion and will not be eliminated as a result of the disposition and CalGen does not expect to repay any portion of the CalGen Secured Debt with proceeds received from the sale. |
(5) | Liabilities existing prior to the sale of the Goldendale facility will remain with CalGen except for environmental liabilities in accordance with the MIPA. |
(6) | Approximately $70.8 million in additional deferred tax liabilities are expected resulting from changes in the valuation allowances related to the sale of the Goldendale assets. The calculation is made on a stand-alone basis for CalGen. |
(7) | The net effect of proceeds received less the assets and liabilities sold and deferred tax liability created as a result of the sale. |

____________
(1) | Assumes sale of Goldendale by CalGen on January 1, 2003. |
(2) | Under the agreements governing the Notes and Term Loans, CalGen is obligated to offer to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Goldendale facility to repurchase the Notes and Term Loans. On January 17, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court approved a motion which no longer requires CalGen to use the Goldendale sale proceeds to offer to repurchase the Notes and Term Loans. The CalGen Secured Debt and related interest expense is allocated to all CalGen facilities. The interest expense presented represents Goldendale's allocable portion and will not be eliminated as a result of the disposition as CalGen does not expect to repay any portion of the CalGen Secured Debt with proceeds received from the sale. |
(3) | Represents net loss from continuing operations after taxes and before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. |
(4) | Income taxes on pro forma adjustments as calculated to present CalGen income taxes on a stand-alone basis excluding the operations of Goldendale. |
