      These statements typically contain, but are not limited to, the terms
      "anticipate," "potential," "expect," "believe," "estimate" and similar words.
      Actual results may differ materially due to the speed and nature of increased
      competition and deregulation in the electric utility industry, economic or
      weather conditions affecting future sales and margins, changes in markets for
      energy services, changing energy and commodity market prices, replacement power
      costs being higher than anticipated or inadequately hedged, the continued
      ability of the registrant&#8217;s regulated utilities to collect transition and other
      charges or to recover increased transmission costs, maintenance costs being
      higher than anticipated, legislative and regulatory changes (including revised
      environmental requirements), and the legal and regulatory changes resulting
      from
      the implementation of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (including, but not limited
      to, the repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935), the
      uncertainty of the timing and amounts of the capital expenditures needed to,
      among other things, implement the Air Quality Compliance Plan (including that
      such amounts could be higher than anticipated) or levels of emission reductions
      related to the Consent Decree resolving the New Source Review litigation,
      adverse regulatory or legal decisions and outcomes (including, but not limited
      to, the revocation of necessary licenses or operating permits, fines or other
      enforcement actions and remedies) of governmental investigations and oversight,
      including by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States
      Attorney&#8217;s Office, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the various state
      public utility commissions as disclosed in the registrant&#8217;s Securities and
      Exchange Commission filings, generally, and with respect to the Davis-Besse
      Nuclear Power Station outage in particular, the timing and outcome of various

      and Penelec, the continuing availability and operation of generating units,
      the
      ability of generating units to continue to operate at, or near full capacity,
      the inability to accomplish or realize anticipated benefits from strategic
      goals
      (including employee workforce initiatives), the anticipated benefits from
      voluntary pension plan contributions, the ability to improve electric commodity
      margins and to experience growth in the distribution business, the ability

Item
      2.03
      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance
      Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On
      March 2, 2007,
      FirstEnergy Corp. repurchased approximately 14.4 million shares, or 4.5%, of
      its
      outstanding common stock at an initial price of $62.63 per share, or a total
      initial purchase price of approximately $900 million, pursuant to an accelerated
      share repurchase agreement, dated March 1, 2007, with Morgan Stanley & Co.
      International Limited (
MSIL
).
      The final
      purchase price is subject to a contingent purchase price adjustment based on
      the
      volume weighted average price of the equivalent number of shares to be purchased
      by MSIL over a subsequent purchase period of up to approximately one year,
      as
      well as other purchase price adjustments in the event of an extraordinary cash
      dividend or other dilution events. The agreement may be terminated by MSIL
      under
      certain circumstances including a share de-listing event, certain merger events,
      nationalization, insolvency or a distribution termination event as those terms
      are described in the agreement. The agreement contains customary representations
      and warranties, covenants and conditions and indemnification
      provisions.
FirstEnergy
      acquired
      these shares under its previously announced authorization to repurchase up
      to 16 million additional shares of its common stock. Under a prior authorized
      program, FirstEnergy repurchased approximately 10.5 million shares of its
      outstanding common stock on August 10, 2006, under an accelerated share
      repurchase agreement, dated August 9, 2006, with another financial institution.
      That financial institution provided its consent to FirstEnergy's execution and
      delivery of the new agreement with MSIL.
The
      latest share
      repurchase was funded with short-term borrowings, including a $250 million
      90-day bridge loan facility, dated as of March 2, 2007, provided by Morgan
      Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (MSSF) to FirstEnergy. Concurrently, FirstEnergy's
      wholly owned subsidiary, FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (FES), entered into a
      substantially similar $250 million bridge loan facility with MSSF. FirstEnergy
      provided a guaranty of FES' bridge loan obligations until such time as FES has
      provided the lender with notice that its senior unsecured debt is rated at
      least
      BBB- by Standard & Poor's or Baa3 by Moody's.
Loans
      drawn under
      each bridge loan facility will bear interest at a rate per annum based on one-,
      two-, or three-month LIBOR plus 0.65% and must be repaid within 90 days, which
      period may be extended for an additional 30 days at the option of the applicable
      borrower. In addition, each bridge loan is required to be prepaid promptly
      upon
      the receipt of cash proceeds by any FirstEnergy subsidiary from the planned
      sale
      and leaseback transaction of the owned portion of Unit 1 of the Bruce Mansfield
      Plant.
Except
      as set forth
      above, the facilities contain representations, warranties, terms and conditions
      that are customary for facilities of this type and are substantially similar
      to
      those contained in the existing $2.75 billion syndicated revolving credit
      facility, dated August 24, 2006, among FirstEnergy, certain of its subsidiaries
      (including FES) and the banks named therein.
FirstEnergy,
      FES and
      certain of their affiliates maintain ordinary banking and investment banking
      relationships with affiliates of MSIL and MSSF. MSSF is a lender under the
      August 24, 2006 credit facility referred to above.
Attached
      as Exhibit
      99.1 is FirstEnergy's press release issued March 2, 2007 regarding the execution
      and delivery of the accelerated share repurchase agreement with
      MSIL.

Forward-Looking
      Statements
:
      This Form 8-K
      includes forward-looking statements based on information currently available
      to
      management. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties.
      These statements typically contain, but are not limited to, the terms
      "anticipate," "potential," "expect," "believe," "estimate" and similar words.
      Actual results may differ materially due to the speed and nature of increased
      competition and deregulation in the electric utility industry, economic or
      weather conditions affecting future sales and margins, changes in markets for
      energy services, changing energy and commodity market prices, replacement power
      costs being higher than anticipated or inadequately hedged, the continued
      ability of the registrant's regulated utilities to collect transition and other
      charges or to recover increased transmission costs, maintenance costs being
      higher than anticipated, legislative and regulatory changes (including revised
      environmental requirements), and the legal and regulatory changes resulting
      from
      the implementation of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (including, but not limited
      to, the repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935), the
      uncertainty of the timing and amounts of the capital expenditures needed to,
      among other things, implement the Air Quality Compliance Plan (including that
      such amounts could be higher than anticipated) or levels of emission reductions
      related to the Consent Decree resolving the New Source Review litigation,
      adverse regulatory or legal decisions and outcomes (including, but not limited
      to, the revocation of necessary licenses or operating permits, fines or other
      enforcement actions and remedies) of governmental investigations and oversight,
      including by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States
      Attorney's Office, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the various state
      public utility commissions as disclosed in the registrant's Securities and
      Exchange Commission filings, generally, and with respect to the Davis-Besse
