Capital Contributions from AES

DP&L's approved six-year 2017 ESP restricts DPL from making dividend payments to its parent company, AES, during the term of the ESP, as well as making tax-sharing payments to AES during the term of the DMR. The 2017 ESP also requires that existing tax payments owed by DPL to AES, and similar tax payments that accrue during the term of the DMR, be converted into equity investments in DPL.

For the six months ended June 30,2018, AES made non-cash capital contributions of $26.7 million and waived the amount owed to it by DPL related to tax-sharing payments for current tax liabilities.

DP&L has 250,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of which 41,172,173 are outstanding at June 30, 2018. All common shares are held by DP&L’s parent, DPL.

As part of the PUCO’s approval of the Merger, DP&L agreed to maintain a capital structure that includes an equity ratio, calculated as total equity divided by total capitalization, of at least 50 percent and to not have a negative retained earnings balance. As of June 30, 2018, DP&L's equity ratio was 41% and retained earnings balance was negative. It is unknown what impact, if any, this will have on DP&L. In the generation separation order dated September 17, 2014, the PUCO permitted DP&L to temporarily maintain long-term debt of $750.0 million or 75% of its rate base, whichever is greater, until January 1, 2018. After considering the payments noted in Note 7 – Long-term Debt, DP&L's long-term debt is $596.0 million.
