Derivative Instruments With Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

The following table presents, as of June 30, 2019, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a gross liability position, the cash collateral posted, and the aggregate amount of additional collateral that counterparties could require. The additional collateral required is the net liability position allowed under the master netting arrangements or similar agreements, assuming (1) the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these arrangements were triggered on June 30, 2019, and (2) those counterparties with rights to do so requested collateral.

	Aggregate Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities(a)		Cash Collateral Posted		Potential Aggregate Amount of Additional Collateral Required(b)
Ameren Missouri	$	72	$	4	$	63
Ameren Illinois	35		—		28
Ameren	$	107	$	4	$	91

(a) Before consideration of master netting arrangements or similar agreements and including NPNS and other accrual contract exposures.

(b)

As collateral requirements with certain counterparties are based on master netting arrangements or similar agreements, the aggregate amount of additional collateral required to be posted is determined after consideration of the effects of such arrangements.
