      its
      registrant subsidiary, Union Electric Company, doing business as AmerenUE
      (&#8220;UE&#8221;), for a discussion of the rate case filed with the Missouri Public Service
      Commission (&#8220;MoPSC&#8221;) by UE in July 2006 which originally requested an increase
      in base rates for electric service of $361 million. On May&#160;22, 2007, the
      MoPSC issued an order, effective June 1, 2007, (which is subject to appeal)
      authorizing approximately a $43 million increase in UE&#8217;s base rates for electric
      service based on a return on equity of 10.2%. Under generally accepted
      accounting principles, UE will conform the accounting for certain expenses,
      including a reduction in depreciation expense, with the treatment prescribed
      in
      the MoPSC rate order. UE&#8217;s request to utilize a fuel and purchased power cost
      recovery mechanism was denied, but UE&#8217;s existing treatment of the December 2005
      expiration of a cost-based power supply contract between UE and its affiliate,
      Electric Energy, Inc. was accepted by the MoPSC. UE continues to evaluate the
      order.</font></div>

      and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and Part I,
      Item

      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
      Operations; and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, all in the Form 10-Q for the
      quarterly period ended March 31, 2007, of registrant Ameren Corporation and
      its
      registrant subsidiary, Union Electric Company, doing business as AmerenUE
      ("UE"), for a discussion of the rate case filed with the Missouri Public Service
      Commission ("MoPSC") by UE in July 2006 which originally requested an increase
      in base rates for electric service of $361 million. On May 22, 2007, the
      MoPSC issued an order, effective June 1, 2007, (which is subject to appeal)
      authorizing approximately a $43 million increase in UE's base rates for electric
      service based on a return on equity of 10.2%. Under generally accepted
      accounting principles, UE will conform the accounting for certain expenses,
      including a reduction in depreciation expense, with the treatment prescribed
      in
      the MoPSC rate order. UE's request to utilize a fuel and purchased power cost
      recovery mechanism was denied, but UE's existing treatment of the December 2005
      expiration of a cost-based power supply contract between UE and its affiliate,
      Electric Energy, Inc. was accepted by the MoPSC. UE continues to evaluate the
      order.
