(NYSE:PIN) announced today they have officially closed their merger creating CINergy Corp. as the holding company for CG&E and PSI Energy. "We made official today a partnership that brings together the best of two successful companies," said CINergy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jackson H. Randolph. "For our customers, shareholders, and respective states, our combination means we're in a strong position to keep rates low and our companies competitive with the nation's energy providers." Said James E. Rogers, CINergy's vice chairman, president and chief operating officer, "CINergy is a reality today because CG&E and PSI tenaciously pursued a vision of a company that would create the most value for our customers and shareholders in a changing, more competitive industry. We will be just as determined now to operate a company that will deliver more than $1.5 billion dollars for customers and shareholders."

Because CG&E and PSI will now be operating jointly, the companies are able to defer plans for a coal-fired baseload plant CG&E had planned for the early 2000s and a peaking unit PSI had planned for 1995. CINergy plans to file soon with the Securities and Exchange Commission a formal notification that it will be a registered holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. CG&E and PSI Energy will remain incorporated in Ohio and Indiana respectively as subsidiaries of CINergy. PSI Resources Inc., the former holding company for PSI Energy, has been replaced by CINergy. CINergy's offices will be in Cincinnati, but corporate functions will be divided between both Indiana and Ohio. CG&E and PSI customers will see few--if any--differences in their utility companies now that we are part of CINergy. They will continue to see the same company name, vehicles, meter readers and commitment to high-quality service. The combined company will be a stronger regional energy company, but one still responsive to local needs and state regulators.

Trading of CG&E and PSI common stock ended with the close of the market today.

The dividend is payable Nov. 15 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 3.

The final CG&E and PSI prorated dividends are payable Nov. 8. The exchange rate for CG&E shares will be one for one, while the exchange rate under the merger agreement for PSI shares will be 1.023 shares of CINergy stock for each share of PSI.
