Material Changes
The primary material change is the reduction of high-interest debt (7.60% coupon) in favor of lower-interest debt (4.25% and 5.60% coupons) and cash payments. The early participation period for the exchange offer expired on June 26, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time. Holders of the Old Notes may no longer validly withdraw tenders.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The exchange offer is made to qualified institutional buyers in the United States under Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S. The filing includes standard forward-looking statements cautioning that actual results may differ due to risks outlined in Exelon's 2011 Form 10-K, Constellation Energy Group's 2011 Form 10-K, and Exelon's Q1 2012 Form 10-Q. No specific new risks or contingencies beyond the standard debt exchange mechanics are detailed in this text.
