|In conjunction with the Servicers mandated rebilling of retail electric providers due to the Public Utility Commission of Texass Final Order in Docket No. 46606 regarding revised annual four coincident peak demand
values used as billing determinants and the configuration of the Servicers billing system, the Servicer failed to make required remittances to the trustee for the 2012 Senior Secured Transition Bonds (the Bonds) from April 24,
2017 to May 11, 2017. |  | The Servicer transferred the estimated and trued-up transition charge collections, together with accrued interest thereon, that it had failed to remit to the trustee for the Bonds on
May 11, 2017 and June 27, 2017, respectively. The Servicer had estimated transition charge collections until such trued-up transition charge collections were remitted to the trustee.
