 AMEREN ILLINOIS COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois (the
“Company”), which term shall include any Successor Corporation as defined in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                                         
           , or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                            
($            ) on the Maturity Date set forth above in any coin or currency of the United States of America, which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private
debts, and to pay interest thereon from and including the Original Issue Date specified above or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on May 15
and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2021, and on the Maturity Date, at the per annum Interest Rate set forth above until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. No interest shall accrue on the Maturity
Date, so long as the principal amount of this Bond is paid on the Maturity Date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any such Interest Payment Date (except for interest


  
 6 













 
payable on the Maturity Date set forth above or, if applicable, upon acceleration), will, as provided in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be paid to the Person in whose name this Bond is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 1 or November 1, as the case may be, whether or not a Business Day, next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, that the
first Interest Payment Date for any part of this Bond, the Original Issue Date of which is after a Regular Record Date but prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, shall be the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record
Date; and provided further, that interest payable on the Maturity Date set forth above or, if applicable, upon acceleration, shall be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such
interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on a Special Record
Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders not more than fifteen days nor fewer than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. 

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”) in unlimited aggregate principal amount
except as provided in the Indenture, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by the General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”),
dated as of November 1, 1992, executed by the Company (as successor to Illinois Power Company) to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee to Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the “Trustee”), to which
Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereof, and the terms and conditions
upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, secured. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Bond is
one of a series designated as the Bonds of the 2030 Series of the Company, unlimited in aggregate principal amount except as provided in the Indenture, issued under and secured by the Indenture and described in the Supplemental Indenture dated as of
November 1, 2020, between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Indenture. 
 Each Bond of this Series shall be dated and
issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee and shall bear an Original Issue Date. Each Bond of this Series issued upon transfer, exchange or substitution of such Bond shall bear the Original Issue Date of such transferred, exchanged
or substituted Bond, as the case may be. 
 The Bonds of this Series shall be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 Interest on this Bond will accrue from and including the Original Issue Date specified above to,
but excluding, May 15, 2021, and thereafter, from and including each Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. 

All or a portion of the Bonds of this Series may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time or from time to time. The redemption
price for the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed on any redemption date prior to August 15, 2030 (three months prior to the Maturity Date) (the “Par Call Date”) will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:
(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series being redeemed on that redemption date; or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of this Series being
redeemed on that redemption date that would be payable if such Bonds matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 10 basis points, as determined by the Reference
Treasury Dealer (as defined below); plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. The redemption price for the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed on any redemption date on or after the Par Call Date will be equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series being redeemed on that redemption date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

The redemption price for the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed shall be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable except that
installments of interest on Bonds of this Series that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the Holder of this Bond as of the close of business on the
relevant Regular Record Date pursuant to the Indenture. 

  
 7 













 With respect to a redemption occurring prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall give
the Trustee written notice of the redemption price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation. 

The Company shall mail notice of any redemption at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of
the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed, and, if less than all Bonds of this Series are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds of this Series to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair;
provided, that as long as the Bonds of this Series are represented by global certificates registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), or its nominee, beneficial interests in such global certificates will be
selected for redemption by DTC in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. 
 Any notice of redemption at the Company’s option
may state that such redemption will be conditional upon receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds of this Series or portions
thereof called for redemption, and that if such money has not been so received, such notice will be of no force and effect and the Company will not be required to redeem such Bonds or portions thereof. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the
redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds of this Series or portions thereof called for redemption. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. 

“Business Day” means, with respect to Bonds of this series, any weekday that is not a day on which banking institutions or
trust companies in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or in the city where the corporate trust office of the Trustee is located, are obligated or authorized by law or executive order to close. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Bonds of this Series matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Par Call Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Company obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation. 
 “Reference Treasury
Dealer” means each of (A) Mizuho Securities USA LLC, a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Truist Securities, Inc., or,
in each case, an affiliate thereof, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the United States (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing
shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the
average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 

  
 8 













 Interest payments for this Bond shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (and for any partial periods shall be calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months). If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest due on such Interest Payment Date will be
paid on the next succeeding Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). If the Maturity Date of this Bond or any redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium,
if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Maturity Date or such redemption date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Maturity
Date or such redemption date. 
 The Company, at its option, and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture, will be
discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Bonds of this Series (except for certain obligations including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Bonds of this Series, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Bonds of this
Series, maintain paying agencies and hold monies for payment in trust, all as set forth in the Indenture) if the Company deposits with the Trustee money, Government Obligations which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide money, or a combination of money and Government Obligations, in any event in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay all the principal of and any premium and interest on the Bonds of this Series on
the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of the Bonds of this Series. 
 In case an Event of Default, as defined in the
Indenture, shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture provides that such declaration may be rescinded under certain circumstances. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions
as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds of all series directly affected by such amendment or modifications, considered as one class. Each initial and future Holder of this Bond, by its acquisition of an interest in this Bond,
