Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On June 8, 2007, the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of PPL Corporation ("PPL" or the "Company") authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to $750 million of its common stock from time to time, in open market purchases, pre-arranged trading plans or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchases are expected to be paid for with some combination of cash-on-hand and proceeds from the sale of PPL’s Latin American and telecommunications businesses. The specific amount and timing of repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, including potential share repurchase price, strategic investment considerations and other market and economic factors.
