<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January 9, 2019, MidAmerican Energy Company (the &#147;Company&#148;) issued $600,000,000 principal amount of the Company&#146;s 3.65% First
Mortgage Bonds due 2029 and $900,000,000 principal amount of the Company&#146;s 4.25% First Mortgage Bonds due 2049 (collectively, the &#147;First Mortgage Bonds&#148;). The First Mortgage Bonds were offered and sold pursuant to the provisions of an
underwriting agreement (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;) among the Company, Barclays Capital Inc., BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives
for several underwriters (collectively, the &#147;Underwriters&#148;) dated as of January 7, 2019. The Underwriting Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the registration statement
relating to the offering of the First Mortgage Bonds. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The First Mortgage Bonds were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of September&nbsp;9, 2013, between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September&nbsp;19, 2013, and as supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (the &#147;Eighth Supplemental
Indenture&#148;) dated as of January 9, 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The First Mortgage Bonds are secured by a first mortgage lien on substantially all of the
Company&#146;s electric generating, transmission and distribution property within the State of Iowa, subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances, created by a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement dated as
of September&nbsp;9, 2013, from the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral trustee, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The First Mortgage Bonds are secured equally and ratably with the Company&#146;s currently outstanding senior notes as required by the terms
of the indentures under which such senior notes were issued, and with all of the Company&#146;s other first mortgage bonds from time to time outstanding. The Company intends to use an amount equal to the net proceeds of the First Mortgage Bonds to
finance capital expenditures, disbursed during the period from November&nbsp;1, 2017 to December&nbsp;14, 2018, with respect to investments in the Company&#146;s 2,000 megawatt (nameplate capacity) Wind XI project, the Company&#146;s 591 megawatt
(nameplate capacity) Wind XII project and the repowering of certain of the Company&#146;s existing wind facilities, which were previously financed with the Company&#146;s general funds. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The First Mortgage Bonds will be redeemable prior to maturity, under the terms and conditions set forth in the Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
On January 9, 2019, MidAmerican Energy Company (the "Company") issued $600,000,000 principal amount of the Company's 3.65% First
Mortgage Bonds due 2029 and $900,000,000 principal amount of the Company's 4.25% First Mortgage Bonds due 2049 (collectively, the "First Mortgage Bonds"). The First Mortgage Bonds were offered and sold pursuant to the provisions of an
underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") among the Company, Barclays Capital Inc., BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives
for several underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters") dated as of January 7, 2019. The Underwriting Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the registration statement
relating to the offering of the First Mortgage Bonds. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
The First Mortgage Bonds were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of September 9, 2013, between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 19, 2013, and as supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture (the "Eighth Supplemental
Indenture") dated as of January 9, 2019.
The First Mortgage Bonds are secured by a first mortgage lien on substantially all of the
Company's electric generating, transmission and distribution property within the State of Iowa, subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances, created by a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement dated as
of September 9, 2013, from the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral trustee, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
The First Mortgage Bonds are secured equally and ratably with the Company's currently outstanding senior notes as required by the terms
of the indentures under which such senior notes were issued, and with all of the Company's other first mortgage bonds from time to time outstanding. The Company intends to use an amount equal to the net proceeds of the First Mortgage Bonds to
finance capital expenditures, disbursed during the period from November 1, 2017 to December 14, 2018, with respect to investments in the Company's 2,000 megawatt (nameplate capacity) Wind XI project, the Company's 591 megawatt
(nameplate capacity) Wind XII project and the repowering of certain of the Company's existing wind facilities, which were previously financed with the Company's general funds.
The First Mortgage Bonds will be redeemable prior to maturity, under the terms and conditions set forth in the Eighth Supplemental Indenture.
The descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Eighth Supplemental Indenture and the First Mortgage Bonds are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, the Eighth Supplemental Indenture and the specimen global certificates evidencing each series of the First Mortgage Bonds, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Form
