Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously reported, on November 21, 2019, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (“PUCO”) issued a Supplemental Opinion and Order (the “PUCO Order”) modifying and amending the March 13, 2017 Amended Stipulation and Recommendation (the “Stipulation”) of The Dayton Power and Light Company (“DP&L”) previously approved by the PUCO on October 20, 2017 and establishing DP&L’s third electric security plan (“ESP 3”). Among other matters, the PUCO Order invalidated the Distribution Modernization Rider (“DMR”) component of ESP 3 and directed DP&L to file amended tariffs to be effective by November 29, 2019 removing from ESP 3 the DMR and other provisions tied to the term or expiration of the DMR that were included in the Stipulation. DP&L intends to file amended tariffs in the ESP 3 docket at the PUCO on November 29, 2019 for removal of the DMR and related items (the “DMR Removal”).

On November 25, 2019, DP&L made a filing with the PUCO exercising its statutory rights to withdraw its ESP 3 application (the “ESP 3 Withdrawal”), including the entire ESP 3 and the Stipulation, and to implement replacement rates (“ESP 1 Rate Implementation”), including a rate stabilization charge, consistent with DP&L’s most recent standard service offer approved by the PUCO in 2016 based on DP&L’s first electric security plan (“ESP 1”). On that same date, DP&L also made a filing with the PUCO (“ESP 1 Rate Notice”) that includes the proposed ESP 1 rates that DP&L intends to implement. Implementation of the proposed replacement ESP 1 rates is subject to PUCO approvals, which DP&L expects to receive no later than the end of 2019. Until replacement rates are implemented, ESP 3 rates, as adjusted by the DMR Removal, will remain in effect.
