        UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY      (70-[___])

        Union Electric Company (d/b/a AmerenUE) ("AmerenUE), whose principal
executive offices are at 1901 Chouteau Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103, has
filed an application-declaration with the Commission designating Sections
9(b)(1), 9(c)(3) and 12(d) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended (the "Act") as applicable to the proposed transactions.

        AmerenUE is a direct wholly-owned electric and gas utility subsidiary of
Ameren Corporation, a registered holding company. AmerenUE supplies electric
service to approximately 1.2 million customers in a 24,500 square-mile area of
Missouri and Illinois, including the greater St. Louis area. AmerenUE also


                                       1



provides retail gas service to approximately 130,000 customers in 90 Missouri
communities and in the City of Alton, Illinois and vicinity.

        AmerenUE is requesting approval for a transaction (the "Transaction") in
which AmerenUE will convey to and lease back from the City of Bowling Green,
Missouri (the "City") an electric generating facility and the associated site
located in the City. Specifically, AmerenUE states that it has constructed a new
electric generating facility consisting of four 47 megawatt combustion turbine
generating units, fueled primarily by natural gas with fuel oil as a back-up, in
the City (the "Project"). In order to provide a financing structure and economic
incentives to construct the Project in the City, AmerenUE has entered into a
Pre-Annexation and Development Agreement ("Grant Agreement") with the City,
which provides, among other things, that (a) AmerenUE will convey certain land
(the "Site") and any improvements located thereon, including the four combustion
turbine generating units to the City in exchange for the issuance by the City of
its taxable industrial development revenue bond in a principal amount not to
exceed $125,000,000 (the "Bond"), and (b) the City will lease the Site and the
Project to AmerenUE for a term of approximately 20 years.

        The Bond will be issued by the City pursuant to Sections 100.010 through
100.200 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and Article VI Section 27(b) of the
Missouri Constitution and a Trust Indenture between the City and a corporate
trustee (Commerce Bank). As indicated, AmerenUE will purchase the Bond from the
City in consideration for the transfer of the Project and the Site to the City.
The principal amount of the Bond when issued will equal the amounts expended by
AmerenUE to acquire the Site and construct the Project. The Trust Indenture will
provide the specific terms of the Bond, including a final maturity of twenty
(20) years and an interest rate of 5.15%. The Bond will be a special limited
obligation of the City payable solely from the rental payments to be made by
AmerenUE pursuant to a facility lease agreement, as described below, and in the
event of a default by AmerenUE under such lease agreement, the rents, revenues
and receipts of the City derived from the Site and the Project.

        AmerenUE will transfer the Site and the Project to the City pursuant to
a Special Warranty Deed and a Bill of Sale. Concurrently with the issuance of
the Bond, the City will lease the Site and Project constructed on the Site to
AmerenUE pursuant to a Lease Agreement (the "Lease") between the City and
AmerenUE. The Lease term will be the same as the final maturity of the Bond and
will be a net lease, with AmerenUE being responsible for rental payments in an
amount sufficient to pay the debt service on the Bond, equal to approximately
$9.2 million per year. Under the Lease, AmerenUE will be responsible for
maintaining, insuring, operating and paying any taxes related to the Project.
AmerenUE will have the option, at any time during the term of the Lease, at the
expiration of the twenty-year Lease, or if there is an early termination of the
Grant Agreement, to purchase the City's interest in the Project and the Site
upon providing for the payment of the principal balance of and interest on the
Bond and the payment of a nominal fee to the City. During the term of the Lease,
AmerenUE: (a) will be responsible for operation and control of the Site and the
Project; (b) will have the right, at its own expense, to make certain additions,
modifications or improvements to the Site and the Project; (c) may assign its
interests under the Lease or sublease the Site and the Project while remaining


                                       2



responsible for payments under the Lease; (d) covenants to maintain its
corporate existence during the term of the Bond; and (e) agrees to indemnify the
City for any liability the City might incur as a result of its participation in
the transaction. AmerenUE will record the Lease as a capital lease on its
accounting books and records.

        The proposed transfer and lease arrangement of the Site and the Project
is intended to provide economic incentives to the City. In addition, the City's
ownership of the Site and the Project during the term of the Bond and the Lease
is expected to result in property tax savings to AmerenUE of approximately $1.9
million annually, offset by annual grant payments in the amount of $200,000 for
twenty years to be made by AmerenUE to the City, as provided in the Grant
Agreement.

        The proposed Transaction is subject to approval by the Missouri Public
Service Commission and the Illinois Commerce Commission.
