<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;26, 2013, PPL Montana, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of PPL
Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), executed a definitive agreement to sell each of the following hydroelectric generating facilities, all of which are located in the State of Montana, and certain facilities and other assets associated therewith
and ancillary thereto: (i)&nbsp;Hebgen Lake storage reservoir; (ii)&nbsp;Madison Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (iii)&nbsp;Hauser Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (iv)&nbsp;Holter Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (v)&nbsp;Black
Eagle Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (vi)&nbsp;Rainbow Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (vii)&nbsp;Cochrane Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (viii)&nbsp;Ryan Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (ix)&nbsp;Morony Dam
hydroelectric generating facility; (x)&nbsp;Kerr Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (xi)&nbsp;Thompson Falls Dam hydroelectric generating facility; and (xii)&nbsp;Mystic Dam hydroelectric generating facility (collectively, the
&#147;Facilities&#148;) for approximately $900 million in cash, subject to customary financial and other adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2014, subject to customary closing conditions including approval by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (&#147;FERC&#148;) and the Montana Public Service Commission. The purchase and sale agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants, indemnification provisions and closing adjustments that are
typical for this type of transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The summary of the purchase and sale agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the purchase and sale agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item&nbsp;1.01 by reference. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;26, 2013, PPL Montana, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company,
executed four definitive agreements (the &#147;Lease Termination Agreements&#148;) and pursuant to such agreements, agreed to acquire, for approximately $271 million in cash, partial interests in the Colstrip coal-fired electric generation facility
(&#147;Colstrip&#148;) &#150; more specifically, a 50% undivided interest in Colstrip Units 1 and 2, a 30% undivided interest in Colstrip Unit&nbsp;3, and a corresponding undivided interest in facilities common to Colstrip Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
(collectively, the &#147;Interests&#148;). The Interests are currently held by three owner lessors, Montana OL1 LLC, Montana OL3 LLC and Montana OL4 LLC (the &#147;Owner Lessors&#148;) pursuant to four, parallel sale-leaseback arrangements
(collectively, the &#147;Sale Leaseback&#148;) associated with the Interests, including two Facility Lease Agreements between PPL Montana, LLC and Montana OL1 LLC, the Facility Lease Agreement (BA 1/2) between PPL Montana, LLC and Montana OL3, LLC
and the Facility Lease Agreement (BA 3) between PPL Montana, LLC and Montana OL4, LLC (collectively, the &#147;Facility Lease Agreements&#148;). Under the Sale Leaseback, the Interests were sold by PPL Montana, LLC to the Owner Lessors and, pursuant
to the Facility Lease Agreements, simultaneously leased back from the Owner Lessors to PPL Montana, LLC. In connection with the Sale-Leaseback, each of the Owner Lessors issued lessor notes (the &#147;Notes&#148;), approximately $90 million
principal amount of which are outstanding. Pursuant to the Lease Termination Agreements, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Interests will be used by the Owner Lessors to redeem the Notes, including the payment of a
&#147;make-whole&#148; premium of approximately $12 million required to be paid for early repayment, and the Sale Leaseback will be terminated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The sale
of the Interests and the termination of the Sale Leaseback is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of FERC. The closing of the sale of the Interests and the termination of the Sale Leaseback will occur approximately 30
days after obtaining FERC approval, and is expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2014. The Lease Termination Agreements contain certain representations and warranties and covenants that are typical for this type of transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The summary of the Lease Termination Agreements does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease Termination
Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item&nbsp;1.02 by reference. </P>

Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 26, 2013, PPL Montana, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of PPL
Corporation (the "Company"), executed a definitive agreement to sell each of the following hydroelectric generating facilities, all of which are located in the State of Montana, and certain facilities and other assets associated therewith
and ancillary thereto: (i) Hebgen Lake storage reservoir; (ii) Madison Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (iii) Hauser Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (iv) Holter Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (v) Black
Eagle Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (vi) Rainbow Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (vii) Cochrane Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (viii) Ryan Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (ix) Morony Dam
hydroelectric generating facility; (x) Kerr Dam hydroelectric generating facility; (xi) Thompson Falls Dam hydroelectric generating facility; and (xii) Mystic Dam hydroelectric generating facility (collectively, the
"Facilities") for approximately $900 million in cash, subject to customary financial and other adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2014, subject to customary closing conditions including approval by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and the Montana Public Service Commission. The purchase and sale agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants, indemnification provisions and closing adjustments that are
typical for this type of transaction.
The summary of the purchase and sale agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the purchase and sale agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 26, 2013, PPL Montana, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company,
executed four definitive agreements (the "Lease Termination Agreements") and pursuant to such agreements, agreed to acquire, for approximately $271 million in cash, partial interests in the Colstrip coal-fired electric generation facility
("Colstrip") – more specifically, a 50% undivided interest in Colstrip Units 1 and 2, a 30% undivided interest in Colstrip Unit 3, and a corresponding undivided interest in facilities common to Colstrip Units 1, 2, 3 and 4
(collectively, the "Interests"). The Interests are currently held by three owner lessors, Montana OL1 LLC, Montana OL3 LLC and Montana OL4 LLC (the "Owner Lessors") pursuant to four, parallel sale-leaseback arrangements
(collectively, the "Sale Leaseback") associated with the Interests, including two Facility Lease Agreements between PPL Montana, LLC and Montana OL1 LLC, the Facility Lease Agreement (BA 1/2) between PPL Montana, LLC and Montana OL3, LLC
and the Facility Lease Agreement (BA 3) between PPL Montana, LLC and Montana OL4, LLC (collectively, the "Facility Lease Agreements"). Under the Sale Leaseback, the Interests were sold by PPL Montana, LLC to the Owner Lessors and, pursuant
to the Facility Lease Agreements, simultaneously leased back from the Owner Lessors to PPL Montana, LLC. In connection with the Sale-Leaseback, each of the Owner Lessors issued lessor notes (the "Notes"), approximately $90 million
principal amount of which are outstanding. Pursuant to the Lease Termination Agreements, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Interests will be used by the Owner Lessors to redeem the Notes, including the payment of a
"make-whole" premium of approximately $12 million required to be paid for early repayment, and the Sale Leaseback will be terminated.
The sale
of the Interests and the termination of the Sale Leaseback is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of FERC. The closing of the sale of the Interests and the termination of the Sale Leaseback will occur approximately 30
days after obtaining FERC approval, and is expected to occur by the end of the first quarter of 2014. The Lease Termination Agreements contain certain representations and warranties and covenants that are typical for this type of transaction.
The summary of the Lease Termination Agreements does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease Termination
Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.02 by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 26, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the sale of the Facilities and the termination of the Sale Leaseback. A copy of the
press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
