14. During the first quarter of 2002, no financings were consummated by any
Non-Utility Subsidiary not exempt under Rule 52.
15. Notional amount and principal terms of any hedge instruments or
anticipatory hedges entered into during the first quarter of 2002 and
parties thereto.
In January 2002, ComEd entered into two fixed-floating interest rate
swaps with Credit Suisse First Boston and JP Morgan. These swaps,
carrying a notional amount of $150 million and $100 million,
respectively, hedge ComEd's future fair value risk associated with the
change in the value of 7.625% Notes, $150 million, due 1/15/07 and
8.25% First Mortgage Bonds, $100 million, due 10/01/06. The terms and
payment structure of the swap are designed to exactly mirror the terms
and the remaining payment structure for the underlying bond. This swap
is designated as a fair value hedge.
In January 2002, ComEd entered into a 10-year forward starting swap
with J. P. Morgan . This forward starting swap, carrying a notional
amount of $125 million, hedged a portion of ComEd's future interest
rate exposure associated with its anticipated issuance of $400 million
in long-term debt in March of 2002. This swap has been designated as a
cash flow hedge in the attempt to minimize the variability of the
future interest expense associated with changes in the 3 month LIBOR
rate.
In February 2002, ComEd entered into 10-year and 5-year forward
starting swaps with Morgan Stanley (in two separate transactions).
These forward starting swaps, carrying a notional amount of $75 million
and $100 million respectively, hedged a portion of ComEd's future
interest rate exposure associated with its issuance of $200 million
reopening in the third quarter of 2002 and a $700 million issuance in
the fourth quarter of 2002 respectively. These swaps have been
designated as cash flow hedges in the attempt to minimize the
variability of the future interest expense associated with changes in
the 3 month LIBOR rate.
