Q&A with Ron and Steve

Dear Colleagues,

As we continue to move closer toward approval of the pending merger, we recognize that there are questions regarding the actual close date itself and how that timing could affect the staffing and selection process. We have attempted to capture some of those questions here and provided answers to help you understand what will be the next steps that you can anticipate.

What are the remaining approvals for the merger?

The Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC), one of the regulatory bodies that has approval authority over the proposed merger of Exelon and Constellation, is continuing its review of the proposed merger, factoring in the recently announced settlement Exelon and Constellation reached with the State of Maryland, the City of Baltimore and the Baltimore Building and Construction Trades Council. The Commission has stated that it expects to render its decision by Feb. 17, 2012. In addition to the MPSC, we also await final decisions by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Where are we in the staffing and selection process? When will the new organization be fully staffed?

It is our goal to have the entire organization staffed within 90 to 120 days after closing. Based on a mid-to-late February close, that would mean Staffing and Selection would be completed as early as the second half of May, possibly extending into June. Operating from a top-down approach, for most impacted groups, it is expected that leaders named on Sept. 9 will announce their direct reports prior to close, with the remaining executive group (positions that equate to vice president-and-above in the Exelon structure) to be named soon after the merger closes. Staffing and selection for positions at the director and manager levels (again, using Exelon’s levels as the basis) will begin immediately after vice presidents are identified and confirmed, and should be completed within about a month after closing. From that point, vice presidents and – depending upon the group – directors and managers, will make hiring decisions for the rest of their organizations in a process that will take approximately two months.

How will employees be kept informed about the changes in policies and procedures as we move closer to Day One?

To keep employees abreast of changes that may impact them, the Integration Communications team will soon begin publishing Change Digest, a publication that will provide easy access to information about change events for employees of Exelon and Constellation. Change Digest will be distributed via e-mail at least once a month (depending on the volume of changes taking place) for the next several months and will detail the changes occurring at the operating company or enterprise-wide level. Change management for individual departments will not be handled in this company-wide communication vehicle, but rather in smaller department specific channels. All issues of Change Digest, IN Newsletter and employee submitted FAQs will be available on the merger integration intranet sites of both companies. Announced changes will be catalogued on these sites by topic, for easy future reference.

Thank you for your continued interest in and support of the merger integration efforts. We will continue to update you on merger milestones through the various communication vehicles and encourage you to reach out to the Integration Office with your questions and/or comments.

INTEGRATION INFORMATION

Branding Strategy Overview

Exelon and Constellation will be re-branded about 90 days after the merger is complete to help communicate the creation of a new company and bring the new Exelon to life for its stakeholders. The re-branding has two primary components: brand strategy and visual identity.

The first component is the rollout of a new brand strategy that will apply to all operating companies and includes a new corporate vision and updated values, as well as new brand pillars and brand personality.

•The corporate vision is the overarching aspiration for what the organization strives to be – what Exelon stands for, how it is distinctive from other companies and why it matters.

•Values guide decision-making and behavior for all employees. The updated values will reflect similar priorities to the previous values held by both companies.

•Brand pillars are the foundation of the organization, reflective of the organization’s actual “DNA” yet also aspirational. They represent Exelon’s central strengths and building blocks we can use to differentiate our company from its peers.

•Brand personality guides tone and style in how we communicate with all of the company’s stakeholders.

The brand strategy is the result of several months of research and analysis led by Exelon Corporate Communications, and supported by the Exelon Brand Strategy Committee, which includes representation from all of Exelon’s operating companies as well as Constellation and BGE.

The second component of the rebranding effort is the debut of a new visual identity that includes new logos for Exelon and its post-merger competitive businesses, Exelon Generation and Constellation. The new logos will use the same colors, typeface and symbol/mark to show the affinity between the family of brands and will visually represent the brand strategy. (NOTE: the utility logos for ComEd, PECO and BGE will not change as a result of this branding effort.) With the focus now shifting to implementation, a Brand Implementation Steering Committee has been formed across Exelon and Constellation and their operating companies – the Steering Committee is comprised of several Implementation Task Forces that are now focused on brand touchpoints, including signage, apparel, vehicles and business papers, as well as marketing communications, employee engagement and launch events. While some key touchpoints will be updated at the time of launch, others will be updated over the course of the first full year after closing.

*If you have questions regarding branding and/or logo use. Please e-mail the Integration Office at the address below.

Pre-launch guidelines on logo use

While some of the themes of the new brand strategy will start to be woven into Exelon messaging after the merger, it is important to keep in mind that the brand strategy and logo will not be officially launched until about 90 days after merger close.

Given this schedule, following are some general guidelines as business area teams continue to refine their integration plans:

•Until the new logo is using the existing logos.

•Do not make large expenditures on any items featuring existing logos since they will need to be updated once the new brand is introduced.

•Exelon Energy has been authorized to use dual logos on electronic communications as part of their communications to customers that the company is part of Constellation once the merger closes.

•If you have any event or circumstance that will require a large order of materials, please contact Corporate Communications for specific guidance.

•If you have an event scheduled to happen more than 90 days after the merger closes that may require the use of the new logos, please contact Corporate Communications so this can be planned for accordingly.

Expectd Milestones

While Exelon and Constellation work to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and to close the transaction, the companies must operate as entirely separate businesses. Employees must treat one another as competitors in our day-to-day work. This means we cannot directly exchange competitively sensitive information, and must be careful not to do anything that lessens competition between the companies or that would lessen either entity’s ability to compete were the transaction not to close. This is an important and sometimes complicated topic. If you have any questions, please discuss with your supervisor or legal counsel before

action is taken.
