ComEd demonstrates its commitment to diversity by including four diverse financial institutions in its bond offering

ComEd announced that it has priced $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of its First Mortgage Bonds, comprised of $500 million 10-year bonds and $700 million 30-year bonds maturing on June 15, 2026 and June 15, 2046, respectively. The 10-year bonds have a coupon of 2.550 percent and the 30-year bonds have a coupon of 3.650 percent. ComEd will use the net proceeds from the sale of the bonds to refinance outstanding principal amounts of long term debt, repay a portion of our outstanding commercial paper obligations and for general corporate purposes. The sale is scheduled to close on June 27, 2016.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. led the offering as active joint book-running managers. CIBC World Markets Corp., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. and PNC Capital Markets, LLC served as passive joint book-running managers and Santander Investment Securities Inc. served as a senior co-manager. Minority-owned Blaylock Beal Van, LLC, Great Pacific Securities, Loop Capital Markets, LLC and disabled veteran-owned Drexel Hamilton, LLC served as co-managers for the offering.

As a leader in capital infrastructure, ComEd has successfully deployed an annual average of more than $1.7 billion in capital expenditures across hundreds of projects. The selection of minority-owned banks to co-manage the offering is a deliberate investment in the communities that we serve.
