PROXY STATEMENT
SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
February 10, 1995
SOLICITATION AND VOTING
The Special Meeting
This Proxy Statement ("Proxy Statement") is furnished in connection
with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors (the
"Board") of California Energy Company, Inc. (the "Company") to be voted at the
Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on February 10, 1995, or any
adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Special Meeting"). The purpose of
the Special Meeting of Stockholders is:
1. To amend the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock, $0.0675 par
value, of the Company ("Common Stock") authorized to be issued by the Company
from 60,000,000 to 80,000,000;
2. To approve the issuance of up to 17,700,000 shares of
Common Stock in connection with the acquisition (the "Pending Acquisition") by
the Company of Magma Power Company, a Nevada corporation ("Magma"), pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 1994 (the "Merger
Agreement"), among the Company, CE Acquisition Company, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the "Purchaser"), and Magma; and
3. To act upon such other matters as may properly come before
the meeting.
This Proxy Statement, the attached Notice of Special Meeting and the
accompanying Proxy are being mailed to stockholders of the Company on or about
January 18, 1995.
Voting and Vote Required
The voting stock of the Company (the "Voting Stock") consists of the
Common Stock and the Series C Redeemable Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock of the Company (the "Series C Preferred Stock"). Holders of the Common
Stock and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will vote together as a
single class at the Special Meeting. Each share of Common Stock will be
entitled to one vote on all matters presented at the Special Meeting. Each
share of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on an "as converted"
basis on all matters presented at the Special Meeting.
The close of business on January 17, 1995 is the record date (the
"Record Date") for determining holders of the outstanding Voting Stock (the
"Stockholders") entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. On the Record Date,
[31,835,592] shares of Common Stock and 1,272 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, entitled to [3,461,224] votes, were outstanding.
The approval of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the
Voting Stock (whether or not present at the Special Meeting) is required to
approve the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to increase the amount of
authorized Common Stock ("Proposal 1"). A quorum equal to sixty-six and two-
thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Voting Stock must be present in person or by
proxy at the Special Meeting in order to consider Proposal 1. The approval by
a majority of the Voting Stock cast is required to approve the issuance of
Common Stock for purposes of the Pending Acquisition ("Proposal 2"), provided
that the total Voting Stock cast on Proposal 2 represents over 50% in interest
of all the Voting Stock. PKS, the beneficial owner of approximately 39.1% of
the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock, has agreed to vote in favor
of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2.
All shares of Voting Stock represented by properly executed proxies,
which are returned and not revoked will be voted in accordance with the
instructions, if any, given therein. If no instructions are provided in a
proxy, it will be voted FOR the approval of Proposals 1 and 2, and in
accordance with the proxy-holders' best judgment as to any other matters raised
at the Special Meeting. For purposes of determining whether a proposal has
received the required number of votes for approval, abstentions will be
included in the vote totals with the result that an abstention has the same
effect as a negative vote. In instances where nominee recordholders, such as
brokers, are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority for beneficial
owners who have not returned a proxy ("broker non-votes"), those shares will
not be included in the vote totals and, therefore, will have no effect on the
vote. The proxy is revocable and any Stockholder who executes a proxy may
revoke it at any time before it is voted by delivering to the Secretary of the
Company a written statement revoking the proxy, by executing and delivering to
the Secretary of the Company a later dated proxy or by voting in person at the
Special Meeting.
Expenses in connection with this solicitation of proxies will be paid
by the Company. Upon request, the Company will reimburse brokers, dealers,
banks or similar entities acting as nominees for reasonable expenses incurred
in forwarding copies of these proxy materials to the beneficial owners of
shares which such persons hold of record. The Company has engaged MacKenzie
Partners, Inc. ("MacKenzie") to solicit proxies for the Special Meeting for a
fee of $____ plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. In addition,
solicitation of proxies may be made through the mail, in person and by
facsimile and telephone by certain directors, officers and regular employees of
the Company.
PROPOSAL 1
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION -- INCREASE
IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK IN CONNECTION WITH
THE PENDING ACQUISITION
The Company's Board has unanimously approved and recommended to the
Stockholders an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase by
20,000,000 shares the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is
authorized to issue.
The Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes the Company to
issue 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock. If Proposal 1 is approved, the
Certificate of Incorporation would be amended to authorize the Company to issue
80,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the Record Date, (i) [31,835,592]
shares of Common Stock were outstanding, (ii) 1,272 shares of Series C
Preferred Stock were outstanding and 3,529,252 shares of Common Stock have been
reserved for issuance upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, (iii) 3,541,166 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance
pursuant to options granted under the Company's Amended and Restated 1986 Stock
Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), (iv) 6,064,154 shares of Common Stock
have been reserved for issuance under options other than those granted under
the Stock Option Plan, (v) 4,444,444 shares of Common Stock have been reserved
for issuance pursuant to the 5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due July
31, 2000 of the Company and (vi) 738,064 shares of Common Stock have been
reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
As a result, as of the Record Date an insufficient number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock remained available to permit payment of the
Merger Consideration (as defined below).
If Proposal 1 is adopted, the Certificate of Incorporation will be
amended accordingly.
The approval of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the
Voting Stock (whether or not present at the Special Meeting) is required for
approval of Proposal 1. A quorum equal to sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66
2/3%) of the Voting Stock must be present in person or by proxy at the Special
Meeting in order to consider Proposal 1. If no instructions are provided in a
proxy, such proxy will be voted FOR the approval of Proposal 1.
PKS, the beneficial owner of approximately 39.1% of the voting power of
the outstanding Voting Stock, has agreed to vote in favor of Proposal 1.
The Company's Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK TO HOLDERS OF MAGMA
SHARES AS PART OF THE MERGER CONSIDERATION IN THE PENDING ACQUISITION
Proposal 2 is to authorize the issuance by the Company of up to
17,700,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Pending Acquisition.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Company has the option of paying the Merger
Consideration (as defined below) in a mixture of cash and Common Stock or all
in cash. It is the Company's current intention to pay the Merger Consideration
solely in cash, although such intention is subject to change based on market
conditions and other factors. If the Company opts to pay the Merger
Consideration all in cash, the Company intends to issue Common Stock in a
private placement or public offering and to use the cash proceeds of such sales
to fund a portion of the Merger Consideration. Such sales will be based on
market conditions at the time. If the Company determines to issue Common Stock
in the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the precise number of shares to
be issued will depend on market conditions, but in no event will the Merger
Consideration consist of more than 17,700,000 shares of Common Stock or less
than 13,477,000 shares of Common Stock. On January 6, 1995, the Company filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
for the purpose of registering shares of Common Stock that may be issued in an
underwritten public offering (the "Public Offering") in order to enable the
Company to pay the Merger Consideration solely in cash. See "Description of
Merger Agreement".
It is the policy of The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE"),
which lists the Company's outstanding Common Stock, to require stockholder
approval of an issuance of common stock or securities convertible into common
stock, other than in a public offering for cash, if such issuance could result
in an increase of 20% or more in the outstanding common stock of a company. If
all of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Pending Acquisition were
outstanding, such Common Stock would represent approximately 40% of the Common
Stock outstanding prior to such issuance, or approximately ___% of the Common
Stock prior to such issuance on a fully diluted basis.
Stockholders are being asked to approve the issuance and reservation
for issuance by the Company of the Common Stock to be issued as part of the
Merger Consideration in the Pending Acquisition in response to the policy of
the NYSE. If the Company elects to pay the Merger Consideration solely in
cash, no approval pursuant to Proposal 2 will be required. The issuance of the
Common Stock in connection with the Pending Acquisition would not affect the
rights of the existing stockholders of the Company with respect to Common Stock
or Series C Preferred Stock which they hold. Approval by a majority of the
votes cast on this proposal will be required provided that the total vote cast
represents at least a majority of the Voting Stock entitled to vote on this
proposal. If the required affirmative vote of the stockholders is obtained, no
further authorization for the issuance of the Common Stock as part of the
Merger Consideration in the Pending Acquisition will be solicited prior to the
issuance. If the required affirmative vote by the stockholders is not obtained
and the NYSE commences delisting proceedings or refuses to list the Common
Stock of the Company, the Company intends promptly to apply to list the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM"). Although there can be no
assurance that the NNM would approve the Common Stock for listing thereon, the
Company is unaware of any reason why the Common Stock would not be eligible for
listing thereon.
PKS, the beneficial owner of approximately 39.1% of the voting power of
the outstanding Voting Stock, has agreed to vote in favor of Proposal 2.
The Company's Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
THE PENDING ACQUISITION AND THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The Pending Acquisition
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on January 10, 1995, the Purchaser
purchased 12,400,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Magma
Shares"), of Magma at $39.00 per Magma Share, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon, pursuant to a tender offer commenced on December 9,
1994 (the "Offer"). As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchaser
acquired majority control of Magma as the first step in the acquisition of the
entire equity interest in Magma. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the
Purchaser will, as soon as practicable, consummate a merger (the "Merger") with
Magma by filing the Merger Agreement or a Certificate of Merger with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of the
State of Nevada (the time of such later filing being the "Effective Time") .
The purpose of the Merger is to acquire all Magma Shares not beneficially owned
by the Purchaser.
As a result of the Merger, Magma will continue as the surviving
corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. In addition, the directors of the Purchaser
immediately prior to the Merger will become the initial directors of the
Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Magma immediately before the Merger
will become the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case
until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
Reasons for the Pending Acquisition
The Company believes that combining the businesses of the Company and
Magma will provide an excellent strategic fit due to the synergies and other
benefits which will result from combining the operations of Magma and the
Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement and will strengthen the combined
companies' competitive position in the increasingly challenging business
environment and global markets in which they presently operate.
Each of Magma and the Company have separately indicated their
respective beliefs that, in the next several years, the greatest opportunities
for financially attractive development projects will be found in the
international markets and each company is engaged in, or otherwise pursuing,
geothermal power and other power development projects in the Philippines and
Indonesia, and elsewhere overseas where competition is strong and involves much
larger entities than either company.
The Company believes that the combined companies' international growth
prospects will be substantially enhanced by the expanded development,
financial, construction and operational resources and capabilities resulting
from the Merger and that certain domestic and international synergies will also
result from such a transaction.
Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor
On December 6, 1994, Gleacher delivered its written opinion to the
Company's Board (the "Gleacher Opinion") to the effect that, as of December 6,
1994, and based upon the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of the
review, as set forth in the Gleacher Opinion, the Consideration (as defined
below) to be paid by the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair
to the Company from a financial point of view. For purposes of the Gleacher
Opinion, the term "Consideration" means the consideration paid by the Company
pursuant to the Offer together with, at the Company's option, either (i) $39.00
per Magma Share in a combination of cash and a number of shares of Common Stock
to be determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement, or (ii) $38.50 per
Magma Share in cash, in either case to be paid by the Company pursuant to the
Merger Agreement.
A copy of the Gleacher Opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made,
matters considered and the limits of the review by Gleacher, is set forth in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated December 23, 1994, as
amended. The Gleacher Opinion is directed only to the fairness of the
Consideration to be paid by the Company from a financial point of view. The
summary of the Gleacher Opinion set forth in this Proxy Statement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Opinion.
In arriving at its opinion, Gleacher, among other things, (i) reviewed
the audited financial statements and public Commission filings for the three
most recent fiscal years and interim periods to date of Magma and the Company
(the "SEC Reports"); (ii) on an operating and trading basis, compared financial
information relating to Magma's businesses with published financial information
concerning certain companies whose businesses Gleacher deemed to be reasonably
similar, in whole or in part, to those of Magma; (iii) analyzed the market
prices and trading characteristics of the Magma Shares and the Common Stock for
recent periods to date; (iv) conducted discussions with members of senior
management of the Company concerning its businesses and prospects; (v) reviewed
certain financial forecasts for Magma and the Company, and projections of
expected cost savings in a business combination (together, the "Projections"),
in each case as prepared by the Company; (vi) based on the Projections,
performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Magma including the expected cost
savings arising from a business combination; (vii) based on the Projections,
analyzed the pro forma financial effects to the Company of the proposed
business combination; (viii) assumed without independent investigation that no
material contingent liability exists with respect to Magma or the Company which
is not disclosed in the SEC Reports; (ix) reviewed the Merger Agreement and
related transaction documentation; and (x) reviewed certain other financial
studies, performed such other analyses and took into account certain other
matters as deemed appropriate.
Gleacher relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information
supplied or otherwise made available to it by the Company, and did not
independently verify such information or make or obtain an independent
evaluation or appraisal of the assets of the Company or Magma. With respect to
the Projections, Gleacher assumed without independent investigation that the
Projections were reasonably prepared by the Company, and were generated on
bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the
Company's management as to the expected future financial performance of the
Company or Magma, as the case may be. The Gleacher Opinion was based upon
prevailing market conditions and other circumstances and conditions as they
existed as of the date of the Gleacher Opinion.
In arriving at the Gleacher Opinion and making its presentation to the
Company's Board at the meeting held on December 6, 1994, Gleacher considered
and discussed certain financial analyses and other factors. In connection with
its presentation, Gleacher provided the Company's Board with a summary of
valuation results obtained by using several different valuation methods as well
as other materials concerning Magma (the "Gleacher Report"), the material
portions of which are summarized below.
Purchase Price Multiples. Gleacher compared the Consideration to be
paid by the Company assuming that the All Cash Component was exercised by the
Company to the price per Magma Share as of the close of business the day before
the Offer commenced (resulting in an implied premium to Magma stockholders of
approximately 41%) and the average closing price per Magma Share during the
six-month period before the Offer commenced (resulting in an implied premium to
Magma stockholders of approximately 30%). Gleacher also calculated the value
of such Consideration as a multiple of (i) Magma's trailing twelve-month
earnings before interest and taxes (10.5x), (ii) net income (14.6x), (iii) book
value (2.4x), and (iv) projected net income for 1994 (15.5x) and 1995 (14.4x).
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Gleacher performed two discounted cash
flow analyses of Magma based upon (i) estimates of financial performance as
prepared by the Company for each of Magma's power projects in operation,
financed and in construction, excluding any other projects under development
and (ii) estimates of financial performance as prepared by Magma for each of
Magma's power projects including (a) certain projects under development and (b)
benefits of a specific technology expected to be implemented. Using these
projections, Gleacher discounted to the present (i) the projected stream of
proportionate cash flows through year 2012 and (ii) the projected terminal
value of Magma at such year based upon a multiple of projected after-tax cash
flows. After-tax cash flows were calculated as projected earnings adjusted for
all non-cash items, less capital expenditures and principal payments on debt
obligations. Gleacher applied several discount rates (ranging from 10% to 15%)
and an after-tax cash flow multiple of 14x to Magma's after-tax cash flows.
The discount rates and after-tax cash flow multiple used by Gleacher in its
analysis were based upon discussions with the management of the Company and
Gleacher's judgments as to the manner in which companies in the Comparable
Group are valued. The "Comparable Group" included the Company, The AES
Corporation, Destec Energy, Inc. and Sithe Energies, Inc. Using this valuation
method, the implied value of the common stock of Magma ranged between
approximately $30 per share and over $50 per share, respectively.
Trading Valuation. Gleacher reviewed and compared certain actual and
estimated financial and operating results and stock market performance of Magma
and the Comparable Group. Applying trading multiples of the Comparable Group
to Magma's financial performance, and adding an assumed control premium of 25%
- - 50% to Magma's trading value, the implied value of the Common Stock of Magma
was estimated to be in excess of $40 per Magma Share.
Pro Forma Analyses. Gleacher analyzed the pro forma impact of the
Merger on earnings per share of Common Stock for periods following consummation
of the Merger, and compared such amounts to projected earnings per share on a
stand-alone basis for the Company based on the Company's base operating plan.
Assuming that the Company achieves a modest level of synergies in 1995
resulting from the Merger, and assuming that the All Cash Component Amount was
exercised by the Company, such analyses estimated that the Merger would be
accretive to earnings per share for the Common Stock by 1.0% in 1995, 10.6% in
1996 and 22.6% in 1997.
Stock Trading Analysis. Gleacher reviewed and analyzed the historical
trading prices and volumes for the common stock of Magma during the 30-month
period preceding the Offer.
In arriving at the Gleacher Opinion and in presenting the Gleacher
Report, Gleacher performed a variety of financial analyses, the material
portions of which are summarized above. The summary set forth above does not
purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Gleacher. In
addition, Gleacher believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and
that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it,
without considering all such factors and analyses, could create a misleading
view of the process underlying its analyses set forth in the Gleacher Opinion
and the Gleacher Report. The matters considered by Gleacher in arriving at the
Gleacher Opinion that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration to be
paid by the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to the Company
from a financial point of view, are based on numerous macroeconomic, operating
and financial assumptions with respect to industry performance, general
business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond
the Company's control. Any estimates incorporated in the analyses performed by
Gleacher are not necessarily indicative of actual past or future results or
values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than such estimates.
Estimated values do not purport to be appraisals and do not necessarily reflect
the prices at which businesses or companies may be acquired in the future, and
such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. Arriving at a fairness
opinion is a complex process not necessarily susceptible to partial or summary
description. No public company utilized as a comparison is identical to Magma.
Accordingly, an analysis of publicly traded comparable companies is not
mathematical; rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments
concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the
comparable companies and other factors that could affect the public trading
value of the comparable companies or company to which they are being compared.
Gleacher is a recognized investment banking firm routinely engaged in
the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions and other purposes. The Company's Board selected Gleacher to act
as the Company's exclusive financial advisor based on Gleacher's familiarity
with the Company and Gleacher's substantial experience in mergers and
acquisitions and in securities valuation generally. No limitations were
imposed by the Company's Board upon Gleacher with respect to the investigations
made or procedures followed by Gleacher in rendering its opinion.
Pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement dated September 18, 1994,
between the Company and Gleacher (the "Gleacher Engagement Letter"), the
Company paid Gleacher a fee of $250,000 and has agreed to pay Gleacher (i) a
fee of $4,000,000 payable upon the completion of the direct or indirect
acquisition by the Company, either alone or in partnership with another entity,
by merger, acquisition of securities, or otherwise, of 50.1% or more of the
equity securities of Magma, which fee shall be offset by the $250,000
previously paid to Gleacher by the Company; and (ii) a fee equal to 0.25% of
the principal amount of debt directly arranged by Gleacher and Lehman Brothers
in connection with the proposed transaction, which is estimated to be
$1,250,000, assuming the full amount of the Merger Facilities is drawn down by
the Company.
In addition to any fees payable to Gleacher pursuant to the terms of
the Gleacher Engagement Letter, the Company shall reimburse Gleacher for all
reasonable travel and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Gleacher thereunder, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of
Gleacher's legal counsel and any other professional advisors.
In connection with the matters described in the Gleacher Engagement
Letter, the Company and Gleacher entered into a separate letter agreement,
dated September 18, 1994, providing for the indemnification, contribution, and
reimbursement of Gleacher and certain other entities and individuals for a
period of six years from the date of termination of Gleacher's engagement
pursuant to the terms of the Gleacher Engagement Letter.
Description of the Merger Agreement

Consummation of the Merger remains subject to certain conditions, including,
(i) approval and adoption of the Merger and the Merger Agreement by the
requisite vote of Magma's stockholders, (ii) approval of the issuance of Common

The Merger Consideration. In the Merger, each outstanding Magma Share
(other than Magma Shares held by the Company and the Purchaser or any other
direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company and Magma Shares held in the
treasury of Magma), will be converted into the right to receive, at the
Company's option, either (i) the All Cash Component Amount (as defined below),
net in cash, without interest thereon, or (ii) both (A) the Mixed Cash
Component Amount (as defined below), net in cash, without interest thereon, and
(B) the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to
the quotient of (I) $39.00 less (II) the Mixed Cash Component Amount divided by
the Average Closing Price (as defined below) (the All Cash Component Amount or
(ii)(A) and (ii)(B), collectively, as applicable, being the "Merger
Consideration"). The "Mixed Cash Component Amount" shall mean an amount equal
to the quotient of (A) (x) $28.50 multiplied by the number of Magma Shares
outstanding at the Effective Time less (y) $39.00 multiplied by the number of
Magma Shares owned by the Company and any of its affiliates immediately prior
to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the number of Magma Shares outstanding at
the Effective Time (other than Magma Shares owned by the Company and any of its
affiliates). The "All Cash Component Amount" shall mean an amount equal to the
quotient of (A) (x) $38.75 multiplied by the number of Magma Shares outstanding
at the Effective Time less (y) $39.00 multiplied by the number of Magma Shares
owned by the Company and any of its affiliates immediately prior to the
Effective Time, divided by (B) the number of Magma Shares outstanding at the
Effective Time (other than Magma Shares owned by the Company and any of its
affiliates). The "Average Closing Price" shall mean the average closing price
of Common Stock on the NYSE during the 15 consecutive trading days ending on
the fifth business day prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that,
for purposes of the calculation, if such average closing price exceeds $18.73,
the Average Closing Price shall be deemed to be $18.73, and if such average
closing price is less than $14.27, the Average Closing Price shall be deemed to
be $14.27.
The foregoing formula for determining the consideration to be paid in
the Merger was determined so that (i) if the Company determines to pay the
Merger Consideration with a combination of cash and Common Stock, the
consideration paid by the Company in the Offer and the Merger would consist, on
a blended basis, of $28.50 per Magma Share in cash and $10.50 per Magma Share
in market value of Common Stock, based on the Average Closing Price and subject
to the Collar Provision, and (ii) if the Company determines to pay only cash
consideration in the Merger, the blended consideration paid by the Company in
the Offer and the Merger would be $38.75 per Magma Share. The consideration to
be paid in the Offer and the Merger, including the terms of the Collar
Provision, was negotiated on an arms' length basis between the Company and
Magma. The purpose of the Collar Provision is to limit the number of shares of
Common Stock required to be issued in the Merger if the Average Closing Price
is less than $14.27 and to establish a minimum number of shares of Common Stock
required to be issued in the Merger if the Average Closing Price exceeds
$18.73. It is the Company's current intention to pay the Merger Consideration
solely in cash, although such intention is subject to change based on market
conditions and other factors.
Company Stock Options. Each option outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time under Magma Stock Option Plans (as defined in the Merger
Agreement), whether or not then exercisable, shall be cancelled by Magma and,
in exchange therefor, each holder of any such option shall be entitled to
receive from Magma at the Effective Time, or as soon as practicable thereafter,
an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Magma Shares
previously subject to such option and (y) the excess, if any, of $39.00 or, if
the Company has elected the All Cash Component Amount, $38.75, over the
exercise price per Magma Share previously applicable to such option. Each
unvested share of deferred stock under Magma's 1994 Equity Participation Plan
(as defined in the Merger Agreement) or as otherwise described in Magma
Disclosure Schedule (as defined in the Merger Agreement) outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a "Deferred Share") shall be
cancelled by Magma and each holder of a cancelled Deferred Share shall be
entitled to receive at the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter
from Magma an amount in cash equal to $39.00 or, if the Company has elected the
All Cash Component Amount, $38.75.
Board Representation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on January 10,
1995, the Company obtained majority representation on the Magma Board of
Directors (the "Magma Board"). The Magma Board currently consists of six
designees of the Company and two individuals of Magma who were directors of
Magma at the time the Merger Agreement was executed. Prior to the Effective
Time, any amendment of the Merger Agreement or Magma's Restated Articles of
Incorporation or Restated Bylaws, any extension by Magma of the time for the
performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Company or the
Purchaser, or waiver of any of Magma's rights under the Merger Agreement, and
any other consent or action of the Magma Board under the Merger Agreement will
require the concurrence of a majority (which shall be at least two) of the
directors of Magma then in office who are not designees of the Company or the
Purchaser ("Disinterested Directors").
The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to nominate and cause up
to two nominees of Magma to be elected or appointed as members of the Company's
Board.
Other Proposals. The Merger Agreement further provides that neither
Magma nor any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors,
officers, agents, financial advisors or otherwise may, directly or indirectly,
solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the submission of proposals or offers
from any person relating to any Competing Transaction (as defined below), or
participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other person any
information (except for information which has been previously publicly
disseminated by Magma in the ordinary course of business) with respect to, or
otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or
encourage, any effort or attempt by any other person to do or seek any of the
foregoing. The Magma Board may (i) review and act upon (which actions may
include, without limitation, providing confidential information, negotiating a
transaction and entering into an agreement for a transaction) an unsolicited
proposal by any other person relating to any of the transactions referred to in
the preceding sentence, if the Magma Board determines in good faith, after
consultation with and based upon the advice of its financial and legal
advisors, that failing to review and act upon such proposal would constitute a
breach of fiduciary duty, and (ii) comply with Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the
Exchange Act with regard to a tender or exchange offer, and such review,
conduct or compliance will not violate the Merger Agreement. "Competing
Transaction" shall mean any of the following involving Magma or any of its
subsidiaries: (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business
combination, or other similar transaction; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange,
mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 50% or more of the assets of
Magma and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a single transaction or series
of transactions; (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer for 50% or more of
the Magma Shares or the filing of a registration statement under the Securities
Act in connection therewith; (iv) any person having acquired beneficial
ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, or any "group" (as
such term is defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder) having been formed which beneficially owns
or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 50% or more of the Magma
Shares; or (v) any public announcement of a proposal, plan or intention to do
any of the foregoing or any agreement to engage in any of the foregoing.
Representations and Warranties. The Merger Agreement contains customary
representations and warranties of the parties thereto, including
representations by each of Magma and the Company as to the absence of certain
changes or events concerning its business, compliance with law, approval of the
Offer and the Merger by Magma for purposes of certain Nevada antitakeover
statutes, energy regulatory status, environment, employee benefit plans,
insurance, taxes, related party transactions, the status of development and
construction projects and the status of operating projects.
Certain Covenants of Magma, the Company and the Purchaser. Magma has
agreed that, prior to the Effective Time, unless the Company shall otherwise
consent in writing and except as is otherwise permitted by the Merger
Agreement, the businesses of Magma and its subsidiaries shall be conducted only
in, and Magma and its subsidiaries shall not take any action except in, the
ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with past practice; and
Magma will use its best efforts to preserve substantially intact its business
organization, to keep available the services of its present officers, employees
and consultants and to preserve its present relationships with customers,
suppliers and other persons with which it or any of its subsidiaries has
significant business relations. Except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
Magma has agreed that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries will, prior to the
Effective Time, directly or indirectly, do any of the following without the
prior written consent of the Company: (a) (i) issue, sell, pledge, dispose of,
encumber, authorize, or propose the issuance, sale, pledge, disposition,
encumbrance or authorization of any Magma Shares or shares of its subsidiaries'
capital stock of any class, or any options, warrants, convertible securities or
other rights of any kind to acquire any shares of its or its subsidiaries'

Shares previously reserved for issuance as disclosed in Section 4.03 of the
Merger Agreement); (ii) amend or propose to amend its articles of incorporation

organization or division thereof or any other interests in operating
properties; (ii) except in the ordinary course of business and in a manner

(c) take any action other than in the ordinary course of business and in a
manner consistent with past practice (none of which actions shall be
unreasonable or unusual) with respect to the grant of any severance or
termination pay (otherwise than pursuant to policies of Magma or any of its
subsidiaries in effect on November 30, 1994) or with respect to any increase of
benefits payable under its severance or termination pay policies in effect on
November 30, 1994; (d) make any payments (except in the ordinary course of
business and in amounts and in a manner consistent with past practice) under

such plan or agreement, or adopt or otherwise amend any of the foregoing; (e)
take any action except in the ordinary course of business and in a manner

limitation its procedures with respect to the payment of accounts payable); (f)
before the purchase of Magma Shares pursuant to the Offer and other than
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, take any action to cause the shares of its
common stock to cease to be listed on the NNM; (g) cause or permit any of its
current insurance (or reinsurance) policies to be cancelled or terminated or
any of the coverage thereunder to lapse, unless forthwith upon notice of such

efforts to obtain commercially reasonable replacement policies from the same or
comparable insurers providing coverage which is the same as or comparable to
that provided under the cancelled, terminated or lapsed policies; (h) enter

course of business and consistent with past practice; (i) settle any material
pending litigation; or (j) enter into any oral or written agreement, contract,
commitment, arrangement or understanding with respect to any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) Magma may close the financing of its
Malitbog project without the prior consent of the Company provided that the
Company has been given the opportunity to review the relevant financing
documents and Magma has given the Company at least two days prior notice of the
anticipated closing date; (ii) Magma may make and commit to ordinary course
budgeted operational capital and other expenditures relating to projects in
operation or construction without the consent of the Company; (iii) Magma may
make planned capital and operational expenditures with respect to its Malitbog

respect to its Nevada Power Pumped Storage contract, its Alto Peak contract and
any other contract related to a development project without prior consultation
with the Company and the Company's consent; (v) Magma may honor all existing
contractual obligations relating to projects in operation or construction
without the consent of the Company; and (vi) Magma will not incur any
additional indebtedness (secured or unsecured) or make new project or capital
commitments in excess of $1,000,000 without prior consultation with the Company
and the Company's consent.
The Company has agreed that, prior to the Effective Time, unless the
All Cash Component election has been made or unless Magma shall otherwise
consent in writing, and except as is otherwise permitted by the Merger
Agreement, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall,
directly or indirectly, do any of the following: (a) (i) issue or sell, or
propose the issuance or sale of, any shares of its or its subsidiaries' capital
stock of any class, or any options, warrants, convertible securities or other
rights of any kind to acquire any shares of its or its subsidiaries' capital
stock, or any other ownership interest (except with respect to Common Stock
previously reserved for issuance as disclosed in Section 3.03 of the Merger
Agreement) if (A) the proceeds of any such issuance or sale ("Proceeds") exceed
$50,000,000, and (B) such Proceeds are not applied, if necessary, so as to
allow the Company to exercise the All Cash Component election; (ii) split,
combine or reclassify any of its outstanding common stock, or declare, set
aside or pay any dividend or distribution payable in cash, stock, property or
otherwise with respect to the common stock; (iii) redeem, purchase or otherwise

capital stock, except in the performance of its obligations under existing
employee plans or pursuant to a repurchase program under Rule 10b-18
promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (iv) authorize or propose or enter into
any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement with respect to any of the
matters set forth in this section (a); (b) in the case of the Company, merge or
consolidate with or into another person or engage in a recapitalization or
other similar extraordinary business transaction; (c) make any material change
in accounting policies, other than as required by generally accepted accounting
principles; or (d) enter into any oral or written agreement, contract,
commitment, arrangement or understanding with respect to any of the foregoing.
Employee Benefits. The Merger Agreement provides that the Company shall
cause the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries to (x) honor all
employment, change in control, deferred compensation, pension, retirement and
severance agreements in effect on December 5, 1994 between Magma or one of its
subsidiaries and any employee of Magma or one of its subsidiaries, or
maintained for the benefit of any employee of Magma or one of its subsidiaries,
and (y) honor all bonus determinations for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1994 made by Magma or any of its subsidiaries prior to December 5, 1994 with
respect to the bonus plans and arrangements of Magma and its subsidiaries. For
a period of one year commencing on the Effective Time, the Company shall cause
the Surviving Corporation to provide active employees of Magma and its
subsidiaries with benefits (including, without limitation, welfare benefits)
that are no less favorable, taken as a whole, than the benefits provided under
Magma Benefit Plans (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (other than equity-
based plans and bonus plans) as in effect immediately prior to the Effective
Date. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or
benefit calculations or allowances (including, without limitation, entitlements
to vacation and sick days) under any plan or arrangement maintained in order to
provide the benefits described in the preceding sentence, such plan or
arrangement shall credit employees for service on or prior to the Effective
Time with Magma or any of its subsidiaries. The Company shall as promptly as
practicable after the Effective Time cause the Surviving Corporation to (or
Magma may prior to the Effective Time) amend each demand note made in favor of
Magma by an employee of Magma or one of its subsidiaries to provide that (x)
such demand note will not be repayable on demand from Magma and (y) upon the
involuntary termination without cause of the employment of such employee, all
sums owed under such demand note shall be payable in equal quarterly
installments over a period of not less than 36 months. With respect to each
employee of Magma (other than employees of Magma which are parties to a "change
in control" or "severance" agreement) who is, within the one year period
following the closing of the Offer, either (i) terminated without cause or (ii)
terminated as a result of a reduction in force, the Company shall cause the
Surviving Corporation to make the following payments: (1) if, upon the
effective date of such employee's termination, such employee has less than one
year's service with Magma, a payment equal to three months base salary plus an
amount equal to one-fourth of the prior year's targeted bonus for such
employee, payable in twelve equal installments over the twelve months following
such termination; or (2) if, upon the effective date of such employee's
termination, such employee has one year or more of service with Magma, a
payment equal to six months base salary plus an amount equal to one-fourth of
the prior year's targeted bonus for each such employee, payable in twelve equal
installments over the twelve months following such termination. For the
purposes of subclauses (1) and (2), if an employee was not eligible for a bonus
in the referenced prior year, then the targeted bonus for the current year
shall be used. An employee shall not be eligible for the payments specified in
subclauses (1) or (2) if such employee's termination relates to a reduction in
force referred to subclause (ii) above and such employee has been offered a
comparable position (in terms of compensation) by the Company at any location;
provided, however, that no such amounts referenced in (1) and (2) will be
payable if, in the good faith determination of the Company, the employee's job
performance did not merit continued employment or offer of relocation to a
comparable position. An employee may not receive the foregoing severance
payments and simultaneously receive any severance payments under Magma's
severance policy described in the first two sentences of this paragraph.
Amendment. The Merger Agreement may be amended by action taken by the
Company and the Purchaser, and by action taken by or on behalf of the Magma
Board at any time before the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after
approval of the Merger by the stockholders of Magma, no amendment may be made
which would materially adversely impact the interests of Magma's stockholders
or reduce the amount or change the type of consideration into which each Magma
Share will be converted upon consummation of the Merger.
Termination. The Merger Agreement provides that it may be terminated
before the Effective Time in the following circumstances: (a) by mutual consent
of the Boards of Directors of the Company and Magma; or (b) by Magma or the
Company if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or prior to September
30, 1995; or (c) by either the Company or Magma if a court of competent
jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission
shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (which
order, decree or ruling the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to
lift), in each case permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and such order, decree,
ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or (d) by the
Company if (i) the Magma Board withdraws, modifies or changes its
recommendation of the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
thereby or shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing or (ii) the Magma
Board recommends to the holders of Magma Shares any proposal with respect to a
merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction involving Magma or
any of its subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement; or (e) by the Company if, without Magma's consent, any person has
acquired beneficial ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of
or any "group" (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) has been formed which
beneficially owns, or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, more
than 10% of the Magma Shares; or (f) by Magma or the Company if (i) a
corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group shall have made a
bona fide offer that the Magma Board determines in its good faith judgment and
in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, after consultation with and based upon
the advice of its financial and legal advisors, is more favorable to Magma's
stockholders than the Offer and the Merger or (ii) any person (including,
without limitation, Magma or any affiliate thereof), other than the Company or
any affiliate of the Company, shall have become the beneficial owner of more
than 50% of the then outstanding Magma Shares; or (g) by either the Company or
Magma if the other party shall have breached the Merger Agreement in any
material respect and such breach continues for a period of ten days after the
receipt of notice of the breach from the nonbreaching party.
Termination Fee for the Company. The Merger Agreement provides that if
it is terminated pursuant to clauses (d) or (f) or terminated by the Company
pursuant to clause (g) of the preceding paragraph, Magma will be required to
pay the Company a termination fee of $8,000,000 plus the Company's actual
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred since September 13, 1994 in
connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby,
including, without limitation, legal and professional fees and expenses.
Miscellaneous. The Merger Agreement contains customary indemnification
provisions pursuant to which the directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries
and agents of Magma and its subsidiaries are required to be indemnified to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and regardless of whether the
Merger becomes effective, by Magma and, after the Effective Time, by the
Surviving Corporation and the Company, from costs or expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities
and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation arising out of or pertaining to the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including liabilities under the
securities laws in connection with the Merger. In addition, except as set forth
above, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring
such costs and expenses.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement omits provisions that
have been rendered inapplicable as a result of consummation of the Offer and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Merger Agreement,
which has been filed by the Purchaser and the Company as Exhibit (c)(3) to the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 of the Purchaser and the Company filed
with the Commission in connection with the Offer (the "Schedule 14D-1").
Confidentiality and Standstill Agreements. The Company and Magma have
entered into a confidentiality agreement, dated December 4, 1994, pursuant to
which the Company has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of proprietary
information that may be disclosed to the Company and its representatives in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In
addition, the Company and Magma have entered into a standstill agreement, dated
December 5, 1994 (the "Standstill Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company
has agreed that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will, for a
period of three years from December 5, 1994, among other things, acquire any
securities of Magma or participate in any proxy solicitation with respect to
voting securities of Magma, except in connection with the Offer and the Merger
or a tender offer for all Magma Shares at a price no less than $38.75 per Magma
Share net to the seller in cash.
Required Vote at Magma stockholders' meeting. An affirmative vote
approving and adopting the Merger Agreement at a Magma stockholders' meeting by
the holders of a majority of the outstanding Magma Shares is required to
consummate the Merger. As a result of the completion of the Offer pursuant to
which the Purchaser acquired 12,400,000 Magma Shares for $39.00 per Magma Share
in cash (representing approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding Magma
Shares), the Purchaser owns a sufficient number of Magma Shares to approve the
Merger without the affirmative vote of any other Magma stockholder.
Dissenters' and Related Rights. Holders of Magma Shares do not have
appraisal rights as a result of the Offer and the Merger.
Antitrust
Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
amended (the "HSR Act"), certain acquisition transactions may not be
consummated unless certain information has been furnished to the Federal Trade
Commission ("FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the
"Antitrust Division") and certain waiting period requirements have been
satisfied. As a result of termination of the HSR Act waiting period in
connection with a previous tender offer for Magma Shares by the Company (the
"Previous Offer"), no waiting period is required in connection with the Offer.
The Antitrust Division, the FTC and state authorities frequently
scrutinize the legality under the antitrust laws of transactions such as the
acquisition of Magma Shares pursuant to the Offer. At any time before or after
the consummation of any of such transactions, the Antitrust Division, the FTC
or state authorities could take such action under the antitrust laws as it
deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to
enjoin the purchase of Magma Shares pursuant to the Offer or otherwise or the
consummation of the Merger, or seeking the divestiture of Magma Shares acquired
by the Purchaser or the divestiture of substantial assets of the Company.
Private parties may also seek to take action under the antitrust laws. The
Purchaser believes that the acquisition of Magma Shares pursuant to the Offer
will not violate the antitrust laws. However, and notwithstanding termination
of the HSR Act waiting period in connection with the Previous Offer, there can
not be any assurance that a challenge to the Offer on antitrust grounds will
not be made, or if such a challenge is made, what the result will be.
Accounting Treatment
The Merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The purchase for cash and/or Common Stock of Magma Shares pursuant to
the Offer and the Merger will be taxable for federal income tax purposes (and
may also be taxable under applicable state, local, foreign and other tax laws).
Accordingly, a holder of Magma Shares will recognize gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the cash and
the fair market value of Common Stock received in the Offer and the Merger and
(ii) the holder's adjusted tax basis for the Magma Shares. Such gain or loss
will be capital gain or loss if the Magma Shares were held as a capital asset.
Stock Exchange Listing
The Common Stock is listed on the NYSE. Application will be made to
list the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Offer on such exchange. See
"PROPOSAL 2 - APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK TO HOLDERS OF MAGMA
SHARES AS PART OF THE MERGER CONSIDERATION IN THE PENDING ACQUISITION."
Effects of the Pending Acquisition
In the event that the Company elects to include Common Stock as
consideration in the Merger, former stockholders of Magma will own
approximately 32.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after giving
effect to the Pending Acquisition at a price of $16.50 per share of Common
Stock of the Company.
Source and Amount of Funds
If the Company elects to pay the Merger Consideration with a
combination of cash and Common Stock, the Company estimates that approximately
$710.9 million will be required to effectuate the Merger, to refinance bank
borrowings incurred in connection with the Offer and to pay related fees and
expenses. If the Company elects to pay the Merger Consideration solely in
cash, approximately $957.4 million will be required. Approximately one-half of
whichever amount is required will be provided under secured bank credit
facilities (the "Merger Facilities") with Credit Suisse pursuant to which
Credit Suisse will provide, on specified terms and subject to customary
conditions, up to $500,000,000 in secured bank financing. Such funds, together
with a capital contribution by the Company from the Company's general corporate
funds and, if the Company elects to pay the Merger Consideration solely in
cash, the net proceeds of the Public Offering, will be sufficient to pay the
Merger Consideration, to refinance bank borrowings incurred in connection with
the Offer and to pay related fees and expenses.
The Company has received a fully underwritten financing commitment
letter from Credit Suisse (the "Commitment Letter") which states that Credit
Suisse will provide to the Purchaser, on specified terms and subject to
customary conditions, (i) a facility of up to $250,000,000 to capitalize the
Purchaser for the purpose of financing the Offer (the "Tender Facility"), which
facility has been [fully utilized] in connection with consummation of the
Offer, and (ii) the Merger Facilities for, among other things, refinancing the
Tender Facility and effectuating the Merger.
On January 10, 1995, in connection with the purchase of Magma Shares
pursuant to the Offer, the Company borrowed $[250] million under the Tender
Facility on a limited-recourse basis (recourse as to interest only and certain
fees) and loaned the proceeds of such borrowing to the Purchaser in exchange
for a secured term note of the Purchaser (the "Purchaser Note"). The economic
terms of the Purchaser Note mirror those of the Tender Facility.
The Tender Facility is a 12-month term loan extendible for up to three
years by the mutual consent of the Company and Credit Suisse. Borrowings under
the Tender Facility are secured by an assignment and pledge of the Purchaser
Note, which in turn is secured by an assignment and pledge of the 12,400,000
Magma Shares purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer and an additional
200,000 Magma Shares contributed by the Company to the capital of the
Purchaser. Interest on borrowings under the Tender Facility is payable at
spreads of 2.50% above LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) or 1.25% above Base Rate.
The Tender Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants
customary for similar credit facilities. Such covenants include: a negative
pledge of all stock and unencumbered assets of the Purchaser and its
subsidiaries; a limitation on guaranties by the Company and the Purchaser; a
limitation on mergers and sales of assets by the Company and its subsidiaries;
a limitation on investments in other persons by the Company and its
subsidiaries; a prohibition on dividends and other payments by the Company and
its subsidiaries to the Company unless the proceeds are used to pay down the
Tender Facility in amounts to be agreed upon; a prohibition on the sale of
ownership interests in the Purchaser and its subsidiaries; a prohibition on the
incurrence of additional debt by the Purchaser and its subsidiaries; a
requirement that the Company deliver each month a certificate as to the absence
of material adverse changes in (i) the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and (ii) the Purchaser and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which in
either case could reasonably be expected to materially affect the ability of
the Company to service the Tender Facility or the ability of the lenders to
realize on the collateral for the Tender Facility; and a restriction on a
change in the nature of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries,
except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Tender Facility also contains financial covenants and customary
events of default, including events of default based on: a permanent injunction
prohibiting the Merger; breaches of covenants; cross defaults with respect to
debt of the Company, Magma and their subsidiaries; bankruptcy and similar
events; the failure to pay one or more final judgments aggregating more than a
specified threshold; the failure to make a payment with respect to the Tender
Facility when due; and the failure of the pledge agreement with respect to the
Magma Shares and the Purchaser Note to be in full force and effect.
The Merger Facilities will be comprised of (i) a six year term loan
("Term Loan A") in a principal amount of up to the difference between $500
million and the principal amount of Term Loan B (as defined below), expected to
be amortized in semi-annual payments, and (ii) an eight year term loan ("Term
Loan B") in a principal amount expected to be not less than $150 million,
expected to be amortized in semi-annual payments in the seventh and eigth years
of such Term Loan. Loans under the Merger Facilities will be made to the
Company on a non-recourse basis, and the Company will lend the proceeds of such
loans to Magma in exchange for secured term note of Magma (the "Magma Note").
The loans under the Merger Facilities are to be amortized from internally
generated funds of Magma and will be secured by an assignment and pledge by the
Company of the Magma Notes and 100% of the capital stock of Magma. The Magma
Notes will be secured by a collateral assignment of certain unencumbered assets
of Magma.
Interest on loans borrowed under the Merger Facilities will be payable
at spreads of 2.50% above LIBOR (adjusted for reserves) or 1.50% above Credit
Suisse's Base Rate for Term Loan A, and 3.00% above LIBOR (adjusted for
reserves) or 2.00% above Credit Suisse's Base Rate for Term Loan B. The
Company may elect to have the loans bear interest based on either LIBOR or
Credit Suisse's Base Rate.
The Merger Facilities will contain affirmative and negative covenants
customary for similar credit facilities. Such covenants will include: a
negative pledge of all stock and unencumbered assets of Magma and its
subsidiaries; a limitation on guaranties by Magma and its subsidiaries; a
limitation on mergers and sales of assets by Magma and its subsidiaries; a
limitation on investments in other persons by Magma and its subsidiaries; a
limitation on dividends and other payments by Magma and its subsidiaries to the
Company unless the proceeds are used to pay down the Merger Facilities in
amounts to be agreed upon; a prohibition on the sale of ownership interests in
Magma and its subsidiaries; a prohibition on the incurrence of additional debt
by Magma and its subsidiaries; a requirement that the Company deliver each
fiscal quarter a certificate as to the absence of material adverse changes in
the Company or Magma which could reasonably be expected to materially affect
the ability of the Company to service the Merger Facilities or the ability of
the lenders to realize on the collateral for the Merger Facilities; and a
restriction on a change in the nature of the business of Magma and its
subsidiaries.
The Merger Facilities will also contain financial covenants and
customary events of default, including events of default based on: breaches of
covenants; cross defaults with respect to debt of the Company, Magma and their
subsidiaries; bankruptcy and similar events; the failure to pay one or more
final judgments aggregating more than a specified threshold to be agreed upon;
the failure to make a payment with respect to the Merger Facilities when due;
and the failure of the pledge agreement with respect to the capital stock of
Magma and the Magma Notes to be in full force and effect.
Credit Suisse's commitment to provide the Merger Facilities is subject
to certain customary conditions, including without limitation (a) a capital
investment in the Purchaser in an amount and form satisfactory to Credit
Suisse, and (b) the absence of certain material adverse changes.
The Company has agreed to pay certain fees to Credit Suisse with
respect to the Merger Facilities and Tender Facilities which, in the aggregate,
are not material to the transactions described herein.

PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The following Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as
of September 30, 1994 and the Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined Statements
of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 combine the historical consolidated balance sheets of the
Company and Magma as if the acquisition had been effective on September 30,
1994, and the historical statements of income as if the acquisition had been
effective at the beginning of the period. The acquisition is reflected under
the purchase method of accounting, after giving effect to the pro forma
adjustments and assumptions described in the accompanying notes. Under this
method of accounting, which is in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, assets and liabilities of Magma are adjusted to their estimated
fair value, and combined with the recorded values of the assets and liabilities
of the Company. This pro forma combined financial data should be read in
conjunction with the financial data appearing under "SELECTED HISTORICAL
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA OF THE COMPANY," "SELECTED HISTORICAL
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA OF MAGMA" and the consolidated
financial statements, including the notes thereto, of the Company and Magma
incorporated herein by reference to their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 1993 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K
dated March 7, 1994, March 28, 1994, April 18, 1994, May 6, 1994, June 9, 1994,
August 16, 1994, September 22, 1994, September 30, 1994, October 6, 1994,
October 26, 1994, November 22, 1994 and December 9, 1994 and Magma's Current
Reports on Form 8-K dated October 7, 1994 and December 9, 1994.
The Company has not completed reviewing Magma's records in order to
make its determination of the fair value of Magma's assets and liabilities.
The fair value adjustments reflected in the accompanying pro forma combined
financial data reflect, among other things, estimates of fair value made by the
Company based on market quotations and assumptions it believes to be
reasonable.
It should be noted, however, that the actual fair values will be
determined on the basis of the financial condition of Magma at the time the
Magma Shares are purchased.
The pro forma data do not reflect operating efficiencies and cost
reductions which the Company anticipates are achievable. The savings would be
largely attributable to the economies of scale obtained through the combination
of the Company's operations with Magma's operations, and the resulting decrease
in employment and occupancy costs, as well as general overhead expenses.
The pro forma combined financial data are not intended to present the
results that would have actually occurred if the acquisition had been in effect
on the assumed dates and for the assumed periods, and are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be obtained in the future.

Notes To Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Data
(Merger Consideration Consisting of a Combination of Cash and Common Stock)
Company and Magma
(Tables in thousands)
The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase. The resulting
adjustments are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of
the Company and Magma. The final adjustments will be based on the fair value of
Common Stock and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Magma at or
near the closing. For purposes of the pro forma combined financial statements,
it is assumed that one hundred percent of the Magma Shares will be acquired and
that the fair value of the Common Stock will be $16.50 (the mid-point of the
"Average Closing Price" range limits stipulated in the Agreement and Plan of
Merger).
The pro forma unaudited condensed combined financial statements are
based on the following assumptions:
1. The Merger occurred as of September 30, 1994 for balance sheet purposes
and at the beginning of the periods presented for statement of earnings
purposes.
2. 23,843,000 Shares outstanding as of September 30, 1994 will be
purchased for $39.00 per Magma Share consisting of a package of, on a blended
basis, approximately $28.50 per share in cash and approximately $10.50 in
market value per share of Common Stock (see "Description of the Merger
Agreement -- The Merger Consideration").
3. The Magma options outstanding will be retired for approximately
$8,500,000 in cash.
4. The pro forma adjustments to reflect the effect of the transaction are
as follows:
A. The adjustments reflect the elimination of Magma's equity
accounts and the issuance of Common Stock.
B. The adjustments which have been made to the net assets of Magma
and the Company to give effect to the Merger follow:
Assumed value of the
Common Stock and cash consideration
plus estimated direct costs to be
incurred in consummating the Merger . . $942,377
Cost of retiring outstanding
Magma options . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8,500

Adjustment to eliminate goodwill
of Magma. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (8,999) (386,287)

========
C. The additional cash which the Company will be required to pay
in order to effect the Merger has been provided for in the pro forma
adjustments as follows:
Reduce cash on hand . . . . . . . . . . . . $210,944
Increase long-term debt . . . . . . . . . . 500,000
$710,944

Finance costs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12,500
$710,944
========
D. The pro forma adjustments to the pro forma combined statements
of earnings include the following:
i. Record amortization of the excess of purchase price
over net assets acquired over a 40-year period, eliminate the amortization of
goodwill from the historical operating results of Magma and provide
depreciation expense on costs allocated to property and plant. the Company's
policy is to provide depreciation and amortization expense beginning upon the
commencement of energy production over the estimated remaining useful life of
plant and equipment or the contract period for costs applicable to power sales
and development contracts. Costs of $150 million have been allocated to power
sales and development contracts and plant for which energy production is not
expected to commence until 1996 or later. Accordingly, revenues, period
operating costs and amortization of future costs to be incurred in the
completion of such facilities together with amortization of this allocation of
acquisition costs are not included in the pro forma combined statements of
earnings.
ii. Increase interest expense relating to amortization of
deferred financing costs over ten years and cash used to finance the merger,
utilizing an 8.75 percent annual interest rate assumption applied to additional
borrowings and a 5 percent annual interest rate assumption applicable to the
reduction of cash on hand.
iii. Change income tax expense as a result of pro forma
adjustments which affect taxable income.
The pro forma income per common share has been
determined on the basis of weighted average outstanding shares which have been
adjusted to include the number of shares of Common Stock to be exchanged for
the outstanding Shares.
5. The pro forma combined income from continuing operations available to
common stockholders per share for the year ended December 31, 1993, and nine
months ended September 30, 1994, would be $0.82 and $0.78, respectively, based
upon the assumption that (1) 100% of the Magma Shares are acquired by the
Company and (2) the market value of Common Stock issued to the present
stockholders of Magma is $18.73 per share. The pro forma combined book value
per share at September 30, 1994, would be $9.45 under the same assumptions.
6. The pro forma combined income from continuing operations available to
common stockholders per share for the year ended December 31, 1993, and nine
months ended September 30, 1994, would be $0.76 and $0.72, respectively, based
upon the assumption that (1) 100% of the Magma Shares are acquired by the
Company and (2) the market value of Common Stock issued to the present
stockholders of Magma is $14.27 per share. The pro forma combined book value
per share at September 30, 1994, would be $8.66 under the same assumptions.

statements are an integral part of these statements.
Notes To Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Data
(Merger Consideration Consisting of All Cash)
Company and Magma
(Tables in thousands)
The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase. The resulting
adjustments are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of
the Company and Magma. The final adjustments will be based upon the net
proceeds to the Company from the Public Offering and the fair market value of
the assets of Magma at or near the Effective Time.
The pro forma unaudited condensed combined financial statements are
based on the following assumptions:
1. The Merger occurred as of September 30, 1994 for balance sheet purposes
and at the beginning of the periods presented for statement of earnings
purposes.
2. 16,666,667 shares of Common Stock will be sold at a price sufficient to
provide net proceeds of $16.00 per share to the Company, all of which will be
used to fund a portion of the cost of the Merger. The Company treasury stock
will be canceled.
3. 23,843,000 Magma Shares outstanding as of September 30, 1994 will be
purchased for cash in an amount of $483,600,000 as to 12,400,000 Magma Shares
and cash in an amount of $440,266,000 as to 11,443,000 Magma Shares.
4. The Magma options outstanding will be retired for approximately
$8,500,000 in cash.
5. The pro forma adjustments to reflect the effect of the transaction are
as follows:
A. The adjustments reflect the elimination of Magma's equity
accounts, the sale of Common Stock, and the cancellation of Company treasury
stock.
B. The adjustments which have been made to the net assets of Magma
and the Company to give effect to the Merger follow:
Cash consideration
plus estimated direct costs to be
incurred in consummating the Proposed
Merger. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $936,366

Excess of purchase price over carrying
value of net assets acquired. . . . . . 564,131

effect the Merger has been provided for in the pro forma adjustments as
follows:
Reduce cash on hand . . . . . . . . . . . . $190,699
Proceeds from sale of Common Stock. . . . . 266,667
Increase long-term debt . . . . . . . . . . 500,000

Finance costs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12,500
$957,366
========
D. The pro forma adjustments to the pro forma combined statements
of earnings include the following:
i. Record amortization of the excess of purchase price
over net assets acquired over a 40-year period, eliminate the amortization of
goodwill from the historical operating results of Magma and provide
depreciation expense on costs allocated to property and plant. The Company's
policy is to provide depreciation and amortization expense beginning upon the
commencement of energy production over the estimated remaining useful life of
plant and equipment or the contract period for costs applicable to power sales
and development contracts. Costs of $150 million have been allocated to power
sales and development contracts and plant for which energy production is not
expected to commence until 1996 or later. Accordingly, revenues, period
operating costs and amortization of future costs to be incurred in the
completion of such facilities together with amortization of this allocation of
acquisition costs are not included in the pro forma combined statements of
earnings.
ii. Increase interest expense relating to amortization of
deferred financing costs over ten years and cash used to finance the merger,
utilizing an 8.75 percent annual interest rate assumption applied to additional
borrowings and a 5 percent annual interest rate assumption applicable to the
reduction of cash on hand.
iii. Change income tax expense as a result of pro forma
adjustments which affect taxable income.
The pro forma income per common share has been
determined on the basis of weighted average outstanding shares which have been
adjusted to include the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold.
MARKET PRICES AND DIVIDENDS
The Company. The Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol

"PSE") and the London Stock Exchange (the "LSE"). The following table sets
forth the quarterly high and low last reported sales price per share for the
Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE Composite Tape, based on published
financial sources, for the fiscal quarters indicated.

As of March 21, 1994, there were approximately 1,408 holders of record
of Common Stock. The Company's present policy is to retain earnings to provide
sufficient funds for the operation and expansion of its business. Accordingly,
the Company has not paid, and does not have any present plan to pay, cash
dividends on the Common Stock.
The agreements relating to senior notes issued by the Company prohibit
the payment of dividends unless the Company has a net worth of at least $50
million, after giving effect to the payment of such dividends, and dividends do
not exceed 50% of the Company's net income accumulated after December 31, 1987.
The Certificate of Designation with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock
prohibits cash dividend payments with respect to the Common Stock unless all
accumulated dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock have been paid.
The Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent upon receipt of
dividends or other distributions from the Company's subsidiaries and the
partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company has interests. The
availability of distributions from one of the Company's joint ventures is
subject to the satisfaction of various covenants and conditions contained in
the venture's financing documents and the Company anticipates that future
project level financings will contain certain conditions and similar
restrictions on the distribution of cash flow to the Company.
Magma. The Magma Shares are quoted on the NNM under the symbol "MGMA".
The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low last reported sales
prices of Magma Shares, as reported by the NNM, based on published financial

of a letter to Magma containing a proposal to acquire Magma in a transaction in
which stockholders of Magma would receive cash and shares of Common Stock
having a combined cash and market value of $35.00 per Magma Share, the reported
closing sale price per Magma Share on the NNM was $27.50.
As of October 10, 1994, there were approximately 2,238 holders of
record of the Magma Shares.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends from funds
legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
of the Purchaser. The Board of Directors of the Purchaser presently intends to
