(1) Exelon Utilities sets first quartile goals. The timing of the achievement of each goal will depend upon specific jurisdictional nuances to each company and how they impact the desired structure. The current distribution equity ratio for ComEd is ~46% and ComEd will look to grow this ratio over time.   Currently, ComEd's Transmission capital ratio is limited to 55%. (2) Earned ROE will reflect the weighted average of 11.5% allowed transmission ROE and distribution ROE resulting from 30-year Treasury plus 580 basis points for each calendar year. (3) Per MDPSC merger commitment, BGE is precluded from paying dividends through 2014. Per MDPSC orders, BGE cannot pay out a dividend to its parent company if said dividend would cause BGE’s equity ratio to fall below 48% or if BGE is downgraded by two of three rating agencies.
