A copy of the press release is being furnished pursuant to Regulation FD as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K and Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Release No. 33-8176, the information contained in the press release furnished as an exhibit hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section  18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not subject to the liabilities of that section and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01                   Other Events

 

The Company is hereby providing certain financial information with respect to the Company’s pending acquisition of GDF SUEZ Energy North America, Inc. (“GSENA”). As previously disclosed in its Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 25, 2016, March 1, 2016 and June 28, 2016, on February 24, 2016, Atlas Power Finance, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynegy (the “Purchaser”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (as amended and restated on June 27, 2016, the “Delta Stock Purchase Agreement”) with GSENA and International Power, S.A. (the “Seller”) pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of GSENA, thereby acquiring certain wholly owned assets of GSENA (the “Thermal Assets”) consisting of (i) fifteen natural gas-fire powered facilities located in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas , Virginia and West Virginia, (ii) one coal-fired facility in Texas and (iii) one waste coal fired facility in Pennsylvania (the “Acquisition”). The Company currently expects the Acquisition to close during the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K, among other things, is to file the financial information related to the Acquisition set forth in Item 9.01 below so that such financial information is incorporated by reference into the Company’s registration statements filed with the SEC under the Securities Act and into the Company’s offering memorandum related to the 2025 Notes.

 

Included in this filing as Exhibit 99.1 are the unaudited combined financial statements of the Thermal Assets for the periods described in Item 9.01(a) below and the notes related thereto.

 

The Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward looking statements.”  You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, Dynegy’s ability to close the Acquisition. Management cautions that any or all of Dynegy’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong.  Please read Dynegy’s annual, quarterly and current reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 for additional information about the risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting these forward-looking statements and Dynegy generally.  Dynegy’s actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.  All of Dynegy’s forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking statements.  In addition, Dynegy disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

 

Included in this filing as Exhibit 99.2 is the pro forma financial information described in Item 9.01(b) below giving effect to the Acquisition, the buyout of limited liability company interests held by Energy Capital Partners III, LLC (“ECP”) (as previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2016), the offering of the 2025 Notes described in Item 7.01 above, the issuance of shares of common stock to ECP (as previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 1, 2016), the Company’s  incremental $2.0 billion term loan credit facility (as previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2016), the offering of the tangible equity units (as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2016) and the Company’s completed acquisitions of the membership interest in certain subsidiaries of affiliates of Duke Energy Corp. and Energy Capital Partners (as previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 26, 2014).
