Item 5. Other Events
As previously disclosed, between May 8 and June 14, 2002, several class
action lawsuits were filed in the Federal District Court in Chicago asserting
nearly identical securities law claims on behalf of purchasers of Exelon
Corporation (Exelon) common stock between April 24, 2001 and September 27, 2001
(Class Period). The complaints alleged that Exelon and three of its officers
violated Federal securities laws by issuing a series of materially false and
misleading statements relating to its 2001 earnings expectations during the
Class Period. The Court consolidated the pending cases into one lawsuit and
appointed two lead plaintiffs as well as lead counsel. On October 1, 2002, the
plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, which Exelon moved to
dismiss. In an order dated June 13, 2003, the Court dismissed the amended
complaint with prejudice. The decision is subject to appeal.
