Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
OGE Energy Corp. (the "Company") is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), a regulated electric utility with approximately 801,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

On July 17, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company's Board of Directors named Sean Trauschke as President of OG&E. Mr. Trauschke, 46, will continue to serve as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of both the Company and OG&E, positions Mr. Trauschke has held since April 2009.

On July 17, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors elected a new director, Ms. Sheila G. Talton.
