IRVING, Texas, April 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 9, 2018, Vistra Energy Corp. (NYSE: VST)
("Vistra Energy"), the parent company for TXU Energy and Luminant,
completed its previously announced merger with Dynegy Inc. (NYSE:
DYN) ("Dynegy"), with Vistra Energy continuing as the surviving
entity (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, each share of
common stock of Dynegy, excluding shares of common stock of Dynegy
owned by Vistra Energy, held in treasury by Dynegy, or owned by
their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, was converted into a
right to receive 0.652 shares of common stock of Vistra Energy.
Further, as a result of the Merger, among other things, Vistra
Energy assumed all of Dynegy's obligations under the purchase
contract agreement dated as of June 21,
2016 (the "Purchase Contract Agreement") by and between
Dynegy and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the purchase
contract agent and as the trustee, pursuant to which Dynegy had
previously issued the prepaid stock purchase contracts that form a
component part of its 4,600,000 7.00% Tangible Equity Units
("TEUs"). Following the Merger, the TEUs will continue to trade on
the New York Stock Exchange under their current ticker symbol
(NYSE: DYNC).
The Merger constitutes a Merger Event (as defined in the
Purchase Contract Agreement) pursuant to Section 5.02(e) of the
Purchase Contract Agreement whereupon the right to settlement of
each Tangible Equity Unit into shares of common stock of Dynegy
will be changed into a right of settlement into shares of common
stock of Vistra Energy and, as a result, from and after the
effective time of the Merger:
- the adjusted Minimum Settlement Rate shall be 3.2731 shares of
common stock of Vistra Energy, subject to further adjustment from
time to time as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement;
and
- the adjusted Maximum Settlement Rate shall be 4.0421 shares of
common stock of Vistra Energy, subject to further adjustment from
time to time as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement.
This adjustment effectively changes the Reference Price per
share to $24.7393 from $16.13 and the Threshold Appreciation Price to
$30.5521 from $19.92, in each case, subject to further
adjustment from time to time as provided in the Purchase Contract
Agreement.
This adjustment also changes the Fundamental Change Early
Settlement Rates and Stock Prices set forth in the table included
in Section 5.02(e) as follows:

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information presented herein includes forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, which are
based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the
industry and markets in which Vistra Energy operates and beliefs of
and assumptions made by Vistra Energy's management, involve risks
and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and are not
guarantees of future performances, that could significantly affect
the financial results of Vistra Energy. All statements, other than
statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements.
These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of
words or phrases such as "may," "might," "should," "could,"
"predict," "potential," "believe," "will likely result," "expect,"
"continue," "will," "shall," "anticipate," "seek," "estimate,"
"intend," "plan," "project," "forecast," "goal," "target," "would,"
"guidance," and "outlook," or the negative variations of those
words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking
nature. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Although Vistra Energy believes that in
making any such forward-looking statement, Vistra Energy's
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such
forward-looking statement involves uncertainties and risks that
could cause results to differ materially from those projected in or
implied by any such forward-looking statement, including but not
limited to (i) the effect of the merger on Vistra Energy's
relationships with Vistra Energy's and Dynegy's respective
customers and their operating results and businesses generally
(including the diversion of management time on integration-related
issues); (ii) the risk that the credit ratings of the combined
company or its subsidiaries are different from what Vistra Energy
and Dynegy expected; (iii) adverse changes in general economic or
market conditions (including changes in interest rates) or changes
in political conditions or federal or state laws and regulations;
(iv) the ability of Vistra Energy to execute upon the contemplated
strategic and performance initiatives (including the risk that
Vistra Energy's and Dynegy's respective businesses will not be
integrated successfully or that the cost savings, synergies and
growth from the merger will not be fully realized or may take
longer than expected to realize); (v) the outcome of lawsuits that
have been filed, or other lawsuits that may be filed, against
Vistra Energy or Dynegy relating to the merger; and (vi) those
additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by Vistra Energy and
Dynegy from time to time, including (a) the uncertainties and risks
discussed in the sections entitled "Update to Risk Factors," "Risk
Factors," and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements" in Vistra Energy's prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on March 21, 2018 (as amended and supplemented), and
(b) the uncertainties and risks discussed in the sections entitled
"Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" in Vistra Energy's
and Dynegy's respective annual reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended Dec. 31, 2017.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only at the date on which
it is made, and except as may be required by law, Vistra Energy
will not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking
statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on
which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not
possible to predict all of them; nor can Vistra Energy assess the
impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from
those contained in any forward-looking statement.
