Explanation of Responses:

1. Each share of phantom stock was the economic equivalent of one share of Dynegy Inc. common stock. On October 1, 2012, 123,411.49 of the Reporting Person's shares of phantom stock held under the Dynegy Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Directors, as amended, a Rule 16b-3 Plan with the issuer (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"), were settled for cash in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan after termination of service as a director.

2. These shares are deemed to be phantom stock that are convertible on a one-for-one basis and payable solely in cash.

3. Reflects shares of phantom stock issued to the Reporting Person pursuant to Deferred Compensation Plan. The shares of phantom stock were issued in connection with the Reporting Person's director compensation for the third quarter of 2012, and the number of shares of phantom stock issued with respect to the quarter was calculated based on the closing stock price of the issuer's common stock of $.38 on September 28, 2012, the last trading day of the quarter.

4. Upon termination of the Reporting Person's service as a director, the shares of phantom stock become payable, at the election of the Reporting Person, in a lump sum payment or in monthly, quarterly or annual installment payments following such termination. The shares of phantom stock are payable in cash.

Remarks:

On September 30, 2012, the Reporting Person resigned as a director of the Company.
