This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its

Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual

outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-

looking statements are: the economic climate and growth or contraction within and changes in market demand and demographic patterns in our service territory,

inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends, volatility in the financial markets, particularly developments affecting the availability of capital on reasonable terms and

developments impairing our ability to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt at attractive rates, the availability and cost of funds to finance working

capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material, electric load, customer

growth and the impact of retail competition, particularly in Ohio, weather conditions, including storms and drought conditions, and our ability to recover significant storm

restoration costs through applicable rate mechanisms, available sources and costs of, and transportation for, fuels and the creditworthiness and performance of fuel

suppliers and transporters, availability of necessary generating capacity and the performance of our generating plants, our ability to recover increases in fuel and other

energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates, our ability to build or acquire generating capacity, and transmission line facilities (including our ability to

obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) when needed at acceptable prices and terms and to recover those costs (including the costs of projects that are

cancelled) through applicable rate cases or competitive rates, new legislation, litigation and government regulation including oversight of nuclear generation, energy

commodity trading and new or heightened requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and other substances or

additional regulation of fly ash and similar combustion products that could impact the continued operation and cost recovery of our plants and related assets, evolving

public perception of the risks associated with fuels used before, during and after the generation of electricity, including nuclear fuel, a reduction in the federal statutory tax

rate could result in an accelerated return of deferred federal income taxes to customers, timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other

regulatory decisions including rate or other recovery of new investments in generation, distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance, resolution of

litigation, our ability to constrain operation and maintenance costs, our ability to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity and other

energy-related commodities, prices and demand for power that we generate and sell at wholesale, changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or

alternative sources of generation, our ability to recover through rates or market prices any remaining unrecovered investment in generating units that may be retired

before the end of their previously projected useful lives, volatility and changes in markets for capacity and electricity, coal, and other energy-related commodities,

particularly changes in the price of natural gas, changes in utility regulation and the allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including PJM and SPP,

the transition to market and the legal separation of generation in Ohio, including the implementation of ESPs and the successful approval, where applicable, and transfer

of such Ohio generation assets and liabilities to regulated and non-regulated entities at book value, our ability to successfully manage negotiations with stakeholders and

obtain regulatory approval to terminate the Interconnection Agreement, changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom we have contractual

arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market, actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of our debt, the impact of volatility in the

capital markets on the value of the investments held by our pension, other postretirement benefit plans, captive insurance entity and nuclear decommissioning trust and

the impact on future funding requirements, accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard-setting bodies and other risks and unforeseen events,

including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes, cyber security threats and other catastrophic events.
