Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 1, 2009, PECO Energy Company’s (PECO) board of directors increased the number of directors to eight, creating a vacancy in Class II. The PECO board appointed Charisse R. Lillie, 57, to fill the vacancy, effective as of January 1, 2010. Ms. Lillie is not being appointed to any committees, and will receive the standard compensation PECO pays its outside directors, as disclosed in PECO’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 11. PECO is reviewing whether there are any disclosable related person transactions with respect to Ms. Lillie and, if there are any, will disclose them by filing an amendment to this report on Form 8-K.

A copy of the press release announcing Ms. Lillie’s appointment is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Frank M. Clark, Chairman and CEO of Commonwealth Edison Company, a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (Exelon), has established a structured, prearranged stock trading plan to sell shares of Exelon common stock in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Mr. Clark’s trading plan covers the sale of 5,000 shares of Exelon stock that he acquired more than six months ago through an Exelon incentive compensation plan and through the automatic reinvestment of dividends. These shares are expected to be sold between February 2010 and November 2010. The stock trading plan was established to enable Mr. Clark to diversify a portion of his holdings. The plan will allow him to do so in an orderly manner as part of his estate and tax planning activities.

Since February 2005 a number of Exelon’s senior officers have also entered into one or more similar pre-arranged stock trading plans to sell a limited number of shares of Exelon common stock in order to diversify their assets.
