1.0 Strategic Fit
Strategic Fit
The merger of Exelon and Constellation creates the number one competitive energy provider, one of the industrys cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets and one of the largest commercial, industrial and residential customer bases in the United States. Both Exelon and Constellation have demonstrated their commitment to sustainability and competitive markets, helping drive innovation, efficiency, customer choice and better rates.

Learn more about the leadership and structure of the new company >> [link to 1.1]
Scale and Financial Strength
The combined entity will benefit from increased scale and financial strength, bringing more clean energy supply to more customers. We will be better positioned to drive expansion of competitive energy markets while at the same time optimizing investment needs in a capital intensive industry. Our increased scale will let us make the most of a changing regulatory environment that favors clean generation sources while at the same time help us manage risk in power price movements and position us for market recovery.
Complementary Businesses Creating a Platform for Growth
The combination will integrate two complementary upstream and downstream businesses, giving us the potential to optimize value throughout the company. Matching Exelons leading, environmentally-advantaged power generation fleet with Constellations industry leading customer-facing business provides the opportunity for greater efficiencies in both.

A Broad Geographic Footprint
The combined company will be one of the largest competitive suppliers of electricity, gas, and other products and services to commercial, industrial and residential customers, and will have operations and business activities in 38 states, the District of Columbia, plus the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Ontario.
Enhanced Utility Platform

The three utilities within the new Exelon BGE, ComEd and PECO will remain headquartered in Baltimore, Chicago and Philadelphia, respectively, and will be focused on safety, customer service, reliability and consistent infrastructure investment within their jurisdictions. However, the merger is expected to benefit customers as all three utilities work together to share best practices to continually improve performance.
Clean Power and Competitive Prices for Millions of Customers
The new company will bring clean power and competitive prices to millions of customers. It will be:
| The number one competitive energy products and services supplier by load (about 165 terawatt-hours) and customers (about 35,000 commercial and industrial and millions of households through retail and wholesale sales) across 38 states, the District of Columbia, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Ontario; |
| The number two residential electricity and gas distribution company, serving 6.6 million customers in Maryland, Illinois and Pennsylvania; |
| The number one competitive power generator (more than 34 gigawatts of power generation and 226 terawatt-hours of expected output), including the nations largest nuclear fleet (nearly 19,000 megawatts); and |
| One of the nations cleanest power generation fleets (about 55 percent nuclear, 24 percent natural gas and 8 percent renewable/hydro) and a leadership position in commercial solar energy development, energy efficiency and demand response services. |

8.0 Legend
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Except for the historical information contained herein, certain of the matters discussed in this communication constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as may, will, anticipate, estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, target, forecast, and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding benefits of the proposed merger, integration plans and expected synergies, the expected timing of completion of the transaction, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth. These statements are based on the current expectations of management of Exelon Corporation (Exelon) and Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (Constellation), as applicable. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this communication. For example, (1) the companies may be unable to obtain shareholder approvals required for the merger; (2) the companies may be unable to obtain regulatory approvals required for the merger, or required regulatory approvals may delay the merger or result in the imposition of conditions that could have a material adverse effect on the combined company or cause the companies to abandon the merger; (3) conditions to the closing of the merger may not be satisfied; (4) an unsolicited offer of another company to acquire assets or capital stock of Exelon or Constellation could interfere with the merger; (5) problems may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of the companies, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; (6) the combined company may be unable to achieve cost-cutting synergies or it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies; (7) the merger may involve unexpected costs, unexpected liabilities or unexpected delays, or the effects of purchase accounting may be different from the companies expectations; (8) the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect; (9) the businesses of the companies may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the merger; (10) the companies may not realize the values expected to be obtained for properties expected or required to be divested; (11) the industry may be subject to future regulatory or legislative actions that could adversely affect the companies; and (12) the companies may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the combined company. Discussions of some of these other important factors and assumptions are contained in Exelons and Constellations respective filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and available at the SECs website at www.sec.gov, including: (1) Exelons 2010

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and (c) ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data: Note 12. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed merger, will be more fully discussed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that will be included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that Exelon will file with the SEC in connection with the proposed merger. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this communication may not occur. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this communication. Neither Exelon nor Constellation undertake any obligation to publicly release any revision to its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication.
