Closing

as

2009
Assuming that NRGs
stock price maintained
its historic relationship
to movement in the IPP
index
(1)
, NRG stock
would have declined
~16% since October 17,
2008 in the absence of
the Exelon offer
(2)
; with
those assumptions,
NRGs implied stock
price would have been
~$16 at January 29,
2009, compared with its
actual closing price of
$23.55. 
During the same period,
EXCs share price
increased by ~3.4% to
$56.38.
Since the announcement of EXC offer, NRG and EXC have outperformed the IPP
index
(1)
We believe NRGs stock price is being supported by EXCs offer and is not reflective
of
NRGs
true
stand
alone
value
we
believe
NRGs

will
prove

1.
Per NRG December 1, 2008 investor presentation.
NRGs development
model requires external
solutions that as a
standalone
company it
cannot implement on its
own; and
The potential cost to
finance its development
projects and the
availability of capital.
We believe the market will
likely discount NRGs
standalone growth
prospects given:
The combined company,
given its stronger financial
position, will be better
positioned to realize the
value of growth
opportunities than NRG
stand alone

Strong Initial Exchange Offer Results
13
As of January 6
th
, 45.6% of NRG shares had
been tendered into the exchange offer
Many NRG shareholders have informed Exelon they want to
see meaningful discussions sooner rather than later
NRG board and management continue to refuse to allow due
diligence -
designed to verify assumed values and identify
additional value -
that could lead to a negotiated transaction
Exchange offer extended until February 25
th
Seeking highest possible level of NRG shareholder support
to facilitate a negotiated transaction between Exelon and
NRG
A strong tender result on February 25
th
is the best way for
NRG shareholders to facilitate a transaction
We remain
committed to and are
moving forward with
the transaction


Moving Forward with Proxy Solicitation
Pursuing, and soliciting proxies for, two
shareholder actions at NRG annual meeting
Proposed an expansion of the NRG board from 12 to 19
directors
Nominated nine well-qualified, independent candidates who we
believe will act in the best interests of NRG and the NRG
shareholders
Encouraging NRG shareholders to support the
proposed slate
Materials will be sent to NRG shareholders, including a proxy
and instructions on how to vote for the slate of new directors
Vote will take place at the NRG annual shareholder meeting,
likely to occur in May or June
NRG shareholders deserve independent, well-qualified NRG
directors to act in their best interest

Making Progress on Regulatory Approvals
Initial filings have been made with the following

:
FERC

Notice filing in Illinois

As of February 6, 2009
Regulatory hurdles are manageable
15


Financing Is Not an Obstacle
Believe we can obtain committed financing for the
entire ~$8 billion of NRG debt, if needed, at the
appropriate time
Decision to defer commitments allows us to take advantage of
improving credit markets
Exelon’s relationships with many of NRG’s banks should facilitate
arrangements for new credit facilities when current conflicts are
eliminated
Believe a negotiated combination can be structured in
a way to reduce refinancing requirements to $4B or
less
We believe that the contemplated structure would not trigger the
change of control provision for NRG’s $4.7B of Senior Notes, and
would substantially improve credit metrics for those bondholders
We have asked for approval of the contemplated structure in our
regulatory filings
16
Reflecting our confidence that we can obtain committed
financing at the appropriate time, our offer is not subject to a
financing condition


Full and generous price –
upfront premium of 37%
Tax-free opportunity to participate in the future growth
of the largest and most diversified US power
company, with a substantially improved credit profile
and access to liquidity
Requisite scope, scale and financial strength
Stronger credit metrics and investment grade balance sheet
Best-in-class nuclear and fossil operations
Low-cost generator, operating in the most attractive markets
Exelon 2020 principles will be adapted to the combined fleet
Potential for substantial synergies
Manageable regulatory hurdles to close

Exelon More Than Meets the “Five Imperatives”
Outlined by NRG on May 28, 2008
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
NRG’s Stated Imperatives
MUST
accumulate
generation
at
competitive
cost
This transaction accomplishes in one step what several transactions
might have accomplished for NRG in these regards.  Given the
current difficulty in accessing capital markets, it is unclear whether
NRG would have the ability to meet this objective without Exelon.
Exelon provides NRG stakeholders with broad trading expertise and
sound power marketing and risk management practices.  Exelon’s
significant experience in markets with locational prices is particularly
relevant since ERCOT is moving to a PJM-type structure.
Exelon’s breadth of operations and depth of service allows significant
access to customers, retail providers, and other sales channels.
NRG stakeholders become part of the most diversified and
competitive generation portfolio operating in 12 different states and 6
different regional transmission organizations.
Deal expected to provide NRG stakeholders with significant value
and upside and a share of the largest unregulated generation fleet in
the United States.
MUST

Exelon Combination More
