Excerpt of merger-related text in the earnings press release:

Second Quarter and Recent Highlights

 

   

Proposed Merger with Constellation: On April 28, 2011, Exelon entered into a merger agreement with Constellation which contemplates a stock-for-stock transaction. Constellation is a leading competitive supplier of power, natural gas and energy products and services for homes and businesses across the continental United States. It owns a diversified fleet of generating units, totaling approximately 12,000 megawatts (MW) of generating capacity, and delivers electricity and natural gas through the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE), its regulated utility in central Maryland.

Constellation’s shareholders will receive 0.930 shares of Exelon common stock in exchange for each share of Constellation common stock. Following completion of the merger, Exelon shareholders will own approximately 78 percent of the combined company and Constellation shareholders approximately 22 percent on a fully diluted basis. The closing of the merger is dependent upon the receipt of all required approvals, including approval of the shareholders of both companies. Exelon and Constellation expect the closing of the merger to occur in early 2012.

Excerpts from the transcript of the earnings conference call relating to the proposed merger:

Stacie Frank Exelon Corporation – VP, IR

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Exelon’s second-quarter 2011 earnings conference call. Thank you for joining us today.

We issued our earnings release this morning. If you haven’t received it, the release is available on the Exelon website.

The earnings release and other matters we will discuss in today’s call contain forward-looking statements and estimates that are subject to various risks and uncertainties, as well as adjusted non-GAAP operating earnings. Please refer to today’s 8-K and Exelon’s other filings for a discussion of factors that may cause results to differ from management’s projections, forecasts and expectations and for a reconciliation of operating to GAAP earnings.

In addition, during the call, we will be discussing the proposed merger of Exelon Corporation and Constellation Energy Group, Inc. Today’s discussion does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. Furthermore, today’s discussion is not a substitute for the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that Exelon filed with the SEC on June 27, 2011, that included a preliminary joint proxy statement prospectus or for the definitive joint proxy statement prospectus and other relevant documents that Exelon will send to its security holders in connection with the proposed merger.

For important additional information regarding the proposed merger, including the risks and uncertainties associated with it, please refer to the earnings release and today’s 8-K, as well as the joint proxy statement prospectus.

Leading today’s call are John Rowe, Exelon’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Matt Hilzinger, Exelon’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. They are joined by other members of Exelon’s senior management team, who will be available to answer your questions. We’ve scheduled 60 minutes for the call.

And I’d like to now turn the call over to John Rowe, Exelon’s CEO.

John Rowe Exelon Corporation – Chairman & CEO

Our merger work in Maryland is marching along right on schedule. And one of these days, I’ll wake up retired, hopefully as early as January. So I would really like 2011 to be a good year. And right now, it looks like it’s going to be very good year indeed.

Turning to the merger, we made all of our regulatory filings within a month of announcing the transaction. We filed our S-4 proxy statement with the SEC at the end of June. The FERC and DOJ processes are proceeding on course. The Texas and New York processes are on track. We hope to get a decision in Texas next month and New York before the end of the year. The NRC is likely to complete its review by January. In Maryland, the schedule has been set to have a public service commission decision on January 5, 2012.

If you look at those dates, you see the basis for my hope that we actually can get this all done in January, or perhaps through in February.

We continue to work with the stakeholders in Maryland, including the Governor’s staff. We have several Exelon officers based in Baltimore to ensure that dialogue remains constructive throughout the process. This is one of the lessons we’ve learned from all of our work in New Jersey five years ago; it is, get your own people on the ground, get direct information, and have people get to know you firsthand. So far, everything is on pace and on schedule. I believe we do remain on track to close the merger early next year.

Chris Crane and Mayo Shattuck are in the process of defining the new leadership structure. They will make the announcements -- the first layer of executive management announcements late this summer.

Over the last three months, we have visited with many of you, I’m sure with all of our larger shareholders. And I’m pleased to say the reaction from you has been generally very positive indeed. Nearly everyone I have talked to and my reports from Bill Von Hoene and Stacie and Chris are similar, recognize that this deal works, it makes financial sense from an earnings position, from a cash flow perspective, and from a credit perspective.

The combination of our Generation fleet with Constellation’s customer-facing business provides a strong platform for growth. And the transaction allows us to diversify our fleet across various forms of clean energy and enables us to execute our Exelon 2020 vision for a clean energy future.

Being clean is a competitive hallmark for Exelon. It will become even more advantageous as we move into this new era of EPA regulations. More and more, through a combination of economics, gas prices and pending environmental regulations, we expect to see the market biased toward cleaner forms of energy. . . .

Matt Hilzinger Exelon Corporation – SVP & CFO

Cash benefits associated with the nuclear decommissioning trust fund’s special transfer tax deduction item that I described earlier will be realized in 2012. Capitalizing on the financial health of the business, we are able to deploy capital through value-enhancing investments when such opportunities present themselves. This was the case with our $305 million acquisition of Wolf Hollow, a 720-megawatt combined-cycle plant.

This acquisition aligns well with our existing footprint in ERCOT. It works from a financial and credit standpoint, given our existing PPA for 50% of the output of the plant. And it will further complement our combined portfolio once we merge with Constellation. . . .

. . .

Brian Chin – Citigroup – Analyst

Recently, on the merger developments, recently there’s been a few parties that have seemed to signal that further plant divestitures beyond what you guys have announced might be necessary. Can you just provide any comment or color on that?

Bill Von HoeneExelon Corporation – EVP, Finance and Legal

We did, as we previously stated, a very careful analysis prior to the filing of our agreement and our filings at FERC and our dealings with the Department of Justice as to what we believed would be the necessary divestitures with reference to the tests that are applied by those groups. We believe the divestitures that we proposed, which, as you know, is about 2,700 megawatts, are sufficient to meet those tests. And we’re aware of the filings; I think you’re probably referencing in FERC the recent interventions at FERC last week. But we do not believe that we will be required to do additional divestitures to meet the tests that those entities have historically used.

Paul Fremont Jefferies – Analyst

Just as a quick follow-up to Brian’s question, based on what the PJM Market Monitor was recommending, how would that affect the proposed 2,700 megawatts, and would it potentially delay the timeline for approval at either DOJ or FERC?

Bill Von HoeneExelon Corporation – EVP, Finance and Legal

Paul, as you know, the intervention by the Market Monitor did not recommend any specific additional divestiture, but did indicate that in the Market Monitor’s view, that additional divestiture would be required, without quantifying that. As we studied that, and we just got this last week, the things we would note is that the analysis performed by the Market Monitor differs significantly from the type of analysis that has been typically performed by FERC.

And so the application of that analysis would be new. It would be something that FERC had not done in prior mergers. So, our expectation is that FERC will continue to apply the standards and the analyses it has used and that we meet those tests, and that the Market Monitor’s depiction deploying different tests that FERC has not used will not control.

What FERC will determine is whether, based on the interventions, a hearing is necessary, and were there to be a hearing ordered by FERC, that would prolong the proceedings. But we don’t expect that that will happen, and we think we’ll be able to address all of the interveners in a way which is consistent with other approval before FERC will obviate the need for any additional hearing and will keep us on schedule.

Paul Fremont Jefferies – Analyst

Also, when you announced the merger, you had initially talked about announcing the first level of reports within a 90-day period. That looks like it’s been delayed. Is there something we should think about that’s sort of driving the delay in that announcement?

John Rowe Exelon Corporation – Chairman & CEO

I think the only thing that’s affecting the delay, since we reviewed some of it with our Board just yesterday, is just when and how to communicate to certain people. We are trying very hard to keep this a happy merger in both companies. And right now it is, and I think we’re going to try to keep a soft hand to make certain it stays that way.
