Takeaways
Creation of GenOn
Energy will deliver significant value to stockholders
Hedging cushioned Mirant in Q1 2010 from the effects of relatively low
commodity prices
The supply/demand balance is forecasted to tighten, although at a
slower pace than previously projected
Mirant continues to make progress to permit, finance and commence
construction of its Marsh Landing generating facility later in 2010

Federal NOL Update
Operational
Performance
-
Cash
Generation

Prudent
Growth
Mirant’s estimated Federal NOL balance at December 31, 2009 was $2.7 billion
An “ownership change”
requires Mirant to reset  the limitation that determines
how much annual taxable income may be offset by its NOLs
in future years
An ownership change occurs if there is an increase of more than 50 percentage
points in the ownership of Mirant stock held by large Mirant shareholders from
the date of a previous ownership change
New limitation depends on Mirant stock value on the ownership change date
and an interest rate determined by the IRS
We expect that Mirant will experience an “ownership change”
for federal
income tax purposes  on the closing date of the proposed merger with RRI
Energy
RRI Energy has advised us that they expect RRI Energy to experience an
ownership change on the closing date of the merger as well

Federal NOL Update (Cont.)

Prudent
Growth
Assuming the shares of Mirant and RRI Energy are at or near current prices on the
closing date of the proposed merger, Mirant expects that
The combined company, GenOn
Energy, will be unable to use any pre merger NOLs
for the first 5 years following the merger
Thereafter, assuming sufficient taxable income, GenOn
will be able to use
approximately $100MM –
$125MM per year of pre merger NOLs
until such NOLs
expire
Based on current commodity price forecasts, Mirant expects that GenOn
Energy
will pay only federal Alternative Minimum Tax and  certain state
income taxes
during the 5 years immediately following the merger
Mirant‘s Board of Directors has extended its stockholder rights plan and the plan
was approved at its 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 6, 2010
There is no assurance that the stockholder rights plan will prevent an ownership
change prior to the closing date of the proposed merger
