Item 10.DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Code of Ethics

The Registrants collectively have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics (Code of Ethics) that applies to each director, officer, and employee of the Registrants and their subsidiaries. The Code of Ethics can be found on Southern Company's website located at www.southerncompany.com. The Code of Ethics is also available free of charge in print to any shareholder by requesting a copy from Laura O. Hewett, Corporate Secretary, Southern Company, 30 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30308. Any amendment to or waiver from the Code of Ethics that applies to executive officers and directors will be posted on the website.

Insider Trading Policies and Procedures

Each of the Registrants has adopted a Prohibition of Securities Trading Policy governing, among other items, the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of such Registrant's securities by directors, officers, and employees. Each Prohibition of Securities Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to such Registrant. The Prohibition of Securities Trading Policies do not address transactions in the Registrants' securities by the Registrants themselves; however, pursuant to the Code of Ethics, which, among other items, requires each Registrant to comply with all laws and regulations, it is the policy of each Registrant to comply with applicable securities laws and regulations with respect to any such transactions. Copies of the Prohibition of Securities Trading Policy for each Registrant are filed as Exhibits 19(a)-(f) to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
