Dynegy Amends Employment Agreement with CEO Robert Flexon

—Employment Extended Through April 2018—

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dynegy Inc. (NYSE: DYN) has entered into an amended employment agreement with President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert C. Flexon, that extends the term of the agreement through April 2018. Flexon has been CEO of the Company since 2011.

Under Flexon’s guidance, the Company successfully restructured and pursued an aggressive internal improvement and external growth strategy that has strengthened the Company’s operating base through its PRIDE program while tripling the Company’s power generation capacity. Since December 31, 2012, the Company’s post-restructuring equity has increased by 75% and the Company’s operating cost per megawatt has declined by 70%.

“In just a few short years Bob and his team have engineered Dynegy’s complete financial turnaround and, with the Ameren, Duke Midwest and EquiPower acquisitions, have substantially transformed the Company, creating a platform for future success. Having garnered a meaningful presence in three of the leading power markets in the country, the Company is well positioned for further gains in the competitive energy sphere,” said Pat Wood, independent Chairman of the Board of Directors. “With Dynegy having successfully completed its recent acquisitions, we are pleased to now formalize Bob’s ongoing leadership role with the Company.”

Flexon has led a transformation at Dynegy, growing the Company from approximately 9,000 megawatts to a more fuel and geographic diverse 26,000 megawatt portfolio. The Company has grown from having a small generation fleet concentrated in the Midwest with scattered assets across the country, to a company with a reduced risk profile, two retail electricity providers and a portfolio of 35 plants with a sizable footprint in New England, PJM and MISO.

Speaking of his future plans for the company, Flexon said, “I am proud of what our team has accomplished over the past four years and I’m looking forward to continue building one of the most dynamic companies in the energy industry. The competitive power markets are entering a period of tightening supply due to retirements and the Company is well positioned for a successful future. We’ll continue driving improvements within the Company and its expanded portfolio to meet the challenges in the coming years. I look forward to all of us at Dynegy working together to deliver safe, environmentally responsible and cost efficient power to the communities in which we operate.”
