This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Words such as "could," "may," "expects," "anticipates," "will," "targets," "goals," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "predicts," "should," and variations on such words, and similar expressions that reflect our current views with respect to future events and operational, economic, and financial performance, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that may cause our actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: unfavorable legislative and/or regulatory actions; uncertainty as to outcomes and timing of regulatory approval proceedings and/or negotiated settlements thereof; environmental liabilities and remediation costs; state and federal legislation requiring use of low-emission, renewable, and/or alternate fuel sources and/or mandating implementation of energy conservation programs requiring implementation of new technologies; challenges to tax positions taken, tax law changes, and difficulty in quantifying potential tax effects of business decisions; negative outcomes in legal proceedings; physical security and cybersecurity risks; extreme weather events, natural disasters, operational accidents such as wildfires or natural gas explosions, war, acts and threats of terrorism, public health crises, epidemics, pandemics, or other significant events; disruptions or cost increases in the supply chain, including shortages in labor, materials or parts, or significant increases in relevant

------

tariffs; lack of sufficient capacity to meet actual or forecasted demand or disruptions at power generation facilities owned by third parties; emerging technologies that could affect or transform the energy industry; instability in capital and credit markets; a downgrade of Pepco's credit ratings or other failure to satisfy the credit standards in Pepco's agreements or regulatory financial requirements; significant economic downturns or increases in customer rates; impacts of climate change and weather on energy usage and maintenance and capital costs; and impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, and other assets.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict all of such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. For more information, see those factors discussed in Pepco's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including in Part I, ITEM 1A, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in other reports filed by Pepco from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, which apply only as of the date of this Current Report. Pepco undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revision to its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report.
