EDISON MISSION HOLDINGS CO.
SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS TO WAIVERS WITH RESPECT TO AND AMENDMENT OF THE
INDENTURE GOVERNING ITS 8.137% SENIOR SECURED BONDS DUE 2019 AND ITS
8.734% SENIOR SECURED BONDS DUE 2026
, 2001
To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,
Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
Edison Mission Holdings Co. is soliciting consents pursuant to the consent
solicitation statement, dated , 2001, from holders of its 8.137% Senior
Secured Bonds due 2019 and its 8.734% Senior Secured Bonds due 2026, which we
refer to collectively as the bonds, to the effectuation of a sale-leaseback
transaction and the adoption of proposed amendments, proposed waivers and an
authorization, which are all described in the consent solicitation statement,
with respect to the indenture under which the bonds have been issued and related
security documents. The term "registered holder" as used herein means any person
in whose name bonds were registered in the register maintained by The Bank of
New York (as successor to United States Trust Company of New York), as trustee
under the indenture, as of the close of business on , 2001, which we
refer to as the record date. The term "holder" as used herein means (1) a
registered holder or (2) any other person who has been authorized by proxy or in
any other manner acceptable to Edison Mission Holdings (or any other person
claiming title by or through such person) to vote the bonds on behalf of a
registered holder.
Only holders may consent by executing and delivering a consent form, and
this consent will be binding on all subsequent transferees of the bonds. The
Depositary Trust Company, which we refer to as DTC, has authorized its
participants who held the bonds through DTC as of the record date to deliver a
consent form. Accordingly, for purposes of the consent solicitation, the term
"holder" shall be deemed to include participants in the DTC system. In order to
cause a consent to be given with respect to bonds held through DTC, a DTC
participant must complete and sign the consent form, and mail or deliver it to
The Bank of New York, c/o United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
at its address set forth on the back cover page of the consent solicitation
statement pursuant to the procedures set forth in the consent solicitation
statement. A beneficial owner of an interest in bonds held through a DTC
participant must complete and sign a letter of instructions and deliver it to
the DTC participant in order to cause a consent to be given with respect to such
bonds.
Edison Mission Holdings will make to holders whose properly executed and
completed (and not revoked) consent forms (which include a consent) are received
by trustee at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2001,
unless the applicable expiration date is extended as provided in the consent
solicitation statement, a cash payment of U.S $ per U.S.$1,000 principal
amount of the bonds in respect of which consent has been validly given, which we
refer to as the consent payment. Consents may be revoked at any time up to the
consent date, which is the earlier of (A) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
, 2001 and (B) the time on which Edison Mission Holdings receives the
requisite consents. Although the amended and restated indenture will become
effective upon its execution and delivery by Homer City Funding and the trustee,
the proposed amendments will not become operative unless and until the consent
payment has been made. Holders who do not consent or who consent after the
expiration date will be subject to the amended and restated indenture and their
outstanding bonds will be replaced with pass-through bonds, (assuming it is
approved by holders of at least a majority of all outstanding bonds and the
sale-leaseback transaction is consummated) but will not receive the consent
payment.
