____________________
This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated March 21, 2018 (as supplemented to date, the Prospectus), which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-215288). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2018 (the Current Report). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement.
The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate solely to 168,779,076 shares of Vistra Energy Corp. common stock, par value $.01 per share, which we refer to as our common stock or the Vistra Energy common stock, which may be offered for resale from time to time by the stockholders named under the heading “Principal and Selling Stockholders” in the Prospectus, whom we refer to as the selling stockholders. The shares of our common stock offered under the Prospectus, as supplemented by this prospectus supplement, may be resold by the selling stockholders at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the times of sale, prices related to such prevailing market prices, varying prices determined at the times of sale or negotiated prices and, accordingly, we cannot determine the price or prices at which shares of our common stock may be resold. The shares of our common stock offered by the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement may be resold by the selling stockholders directly to investors or to or through underwriters, dealers or other agents, as described in more detail in the Prospectus. For more information, see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus. We do not know if, when or in what amounts a selling stockholder may offer shares of our common stock for resale. The selling stockholders may resell all, some or none of the shares of our common stock offered by the Prospectus, as supplemented by this prospectus supplement, in one or multiple transactions.
This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “VST.” On May 31, 2018, the closing sales price of our common stock as reported on the NYSE was $24.53 per share.
____________________
Investing in our common stock involves risks. Before making a decision to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the information referred to under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 21 of the Prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state or other securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017



Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Organization
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Certain prior period amounts in our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018, which we refer to as our “Form 10-K.” Unless the context indicates otherwise, throughout this report, the terms “Dynegy,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ours” are used to refer to Dynegy Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
We sell electric energy, capacity and ancillary services primarily on a wholesale basis from our power generation facilities. We also serve residential, municipal, commercial and industrial customers primarily in MISO, PJM and NY/NE through our Homefield Energy and Dynegy Energy Services retail businesses. We report the results of our power generation business as five segments in our unaudited consolidated financial statements: (i) PJM, (ii) NY/NE, (iii) ERCOT, (iv) MISO, and (v) CAISO. Our consolidated financial results also reflect corporate-level expenses such as general and administrative expense, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Please read Note 19—Segment Information for further discussion.
On April 9, 2018 (“the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Dynegy merged with and into Vistra Energy, a Delaware corporation (“Vistra Energy”), in a tax-free, all-stock transaction, with Vistra Energy continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Please read Note 20—Subsequent Events for further discussion.

Note 2—Accounting Policies
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. Accounting policies for all of our operations are in accordance with GAAP. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2018, with the exception of those related to the adoption of new accounting standards described below.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make informed estimates and judgments that affect our reported financial position and results of operations based on currently available information.  Actual results could differ materially from our estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period due to seasonal fluctuations in demand for our energy products and services, changes in commodity prices, timing of maintenance and other expenditures, and other factors.
Accounting Standards Adopted
Business Combinations. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01-Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 with no material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09-Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). We adopted ASU 2014-09, and subsequently issued amendments, on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method for all contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. As a result of our adoption, we have provided new disclosures to disaggregate our revenues and modified our revenue recognition policy to align with the ASU. The adoption did not have a material impact on how the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers. See Note 4—Revenue Recognition for further details.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Pensions. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07-Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments of this ASU require an entity to report the service cost component of net benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the related employees during the applicable service period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and below the subtotal of operating income. Additionally, only the service cost component of net benefit costs is eligible for capitalization. For public business entities the guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. For other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis for the amendments concerning income statement presentation and on a prospective basis for the amendments regarding the capitalization of the service cost component. Upon adoption, we will begin to record the non-service cost components of net benefit costs into Other Income (Expense), with retrospective application in the prior year statement of income. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to be material.
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02-Leases (Topic 842). The provisions in this ASU will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities, for all leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet. The lease assets recognized in the balance sheet will represent a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The lease liability recognized in the balance sheet will represent the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured based on the present value of the minimum rental payments. Entities may make an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. For public business entities the guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Nonpublic business entities should apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

Note 3—Acquisitions
Acquisition
ENGIE Acquisition. On February 7, 2017 (the “ENGIE Acquisition Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, as amended and restated on June 27, 2016, (the “ENGIE Acquisition Stock Purchase Agreement”), Dynegy acquired approximately 9,017 MW of generation from GDF SUEZ Energy North America, Inc. (“GSENA”) and International Power, S.A. (the “Seller”), including (i) 15 natural gas-fired facilities located in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, (ii) one coal-fired facility in Texas, and (iii) one waste coal-fired facility in Pennsylvania for a base purchase price of approximately $3.3 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments (the “ENGIE Acquisition”).

Business Combination Accounting. The ENGIE Acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805 with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values on the ENGIE Acquisition Closing Date. A summary of the various techniques used to fair value the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as their classification within the fair value hierarchy are listed below.
Working capital was valued using available market information (Level 2).
Acquired property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), excluding those assets classified as held-for-sale, was valued using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis based upon a debt-free, free cash flow model (Level 3). The DCF model was created for each power generation facility based on its remaining useful life, and:
for the years 2017 and 2018, included gross margin forecasts using quoted forward commodity market prices;
for the years 2019 through 2026, we used gross margin forecasts based upon commodity and capacity price curves developed internally using forward New York Mercantile Exchange natural gas prices and supply and demand factors;
for periods beyond 2026, we assumed a 2.5 percent growth rate.
We also used management’s forecasts of operations and maintenance expense, general and administrative expense, as well as capital expenditures for the years 2017 through 2021, and for years thereafter assumed a 2.5 percent growth rate. These cash flows were discounted using discount rates of approximately 9 percent to 13 percent for gas-fired, and approximately 13 percent to 14 percent for coal-fired, generation facilities, based upon the plant’s age, efficiency, region, and years until retirement.
Acquired PP&E classified as held-for-sale was valued based upon the sale price of the assets (Level 3).
Acquired derivatives were valued using the methods described in Note 7—Fair Value Measurements (Level 2 or Level 3).
Contracts with terms that were not at current market prices were also valued using a DCF analysis (Level 3).  The cash flows generated by the contracts were compared with their cash flows based on current market prices with the resulting difference recorded as either an intangible asset or liability.
Asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) were recorded in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (Level 3).

Note 4—Revenue Recognition
Nature of Goods and Services
Revenue Recognition upon adoption of ASC Topic 606. We earn revenue from our power generation facilities in three primary ways: (i) the sale of energy; (ii) the sale of capacity; and (iii) the sale of ancillary services. Revenue from these transactions is typically recognized at agreed upon amounts when the Company satisfies its performance obligations, which typically occurs as the Company delivers energy or provides services to customers, unless the contract meets the definition of a derivative. Upon recognition of revenue, a receivable is also recognized as an unconditional right to the consideration exists. Generally all of our revenues are invoiced on a monthly basis and collected within 30 days. Additionally, Revenues include amounts related to financial contracts that meet the definition of a derivative per ASC 815 in accordance with our accounting policy outlined in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Form 10-K. See Note 6—Risk Management Activities, Derivatives and Financial Instruments for further discussion.
The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Company generates its ASC 606 revenues.
Energy Revenues. We deliver electricity to customers through sales to the ISO or through executed contracts with wholesale and retail customers. Revenue from the sale of wholesale energy is recognized on an hourly basis upon delivery to the customer, as the delivery of MWs each hour is considered a distinct performance obligation. Our performance obligation is satisfied by delivery of electricity to the customer over time (e.g., hourly usage) and we recognize these revenues based on the units of electricity delivered to the customer.
Retail energy sales consist of the sale of electricity to retail customers, including residential, industrial, and commercial customers, and are governed through executed contracts with the customers. Revenue from the sale of electricity to retail customers is considered an optional purchase. We recognize revenue for these transactions once the optional purchase has occurred and the performance obligation is simultaneously satisfied.
Energy revenue may also include sales of any un-needed natural gas which was purchased to fuel our gas-fired power generation facilities. Revenues related to these natural gas sales are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer, at which point our obligation under the contract has been fulfilled.
Capacity Revenues. We provide capacity to customers through participation in capacity auctions held by the ISO or through bilateral sales. Generation facilities are awarded auction volumes through the ISO auction and bilateral sales are based on executed contracts with customers. Capacity revenues are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied ratably over time in accordance with the contracts as our power generation facilities stand ready to deliver power to the customer.
Ancillary Revenues. Ancillary revenues primarily include ancillary services provided to the ISOs. Ancillary services are used within ISOs to support the transmission of energy from generation sources to areas of load and to maintain reliable

operation of the energy grid. Revenue from ancillary services is recognized upon delivery or completion of the service, at which point the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied.

The table above includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, at the end of the reporting period. Our performance obligations relate to capacity auction volumes awarded through capacity auctions held by the ISO or through bilateral sales. Therefore an obligation exists as of the date of the results of the respective ISO capacity auction, or the contract execution date for bilateral customers. The transaction price is also set by the results of the capacity auction or executed contract.

Note 5—Unconsolidated Investments
Equity Method Investments
NELP. In connection with the ENGIE Acquisition, we acquired a 50 percent interest in Northeast Energy, LP (“NELP”), a joint venture with NextEra Energy, Inc., which indirectly owns the Bellingham NEA facility and the Sayreville facility. At March 31, 2018, our investment in NELP was approximately $125 million. Upon the acquisition, we recognized basis differences

11


DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

in the net assets of approximately $39 million primarily related to PP&E. These basis differences are being amortized over their respective useful lives. Our risk of loss related to our equity method investment is limited to our investment balance.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded $7 million in equity earnings related to our investment in NELP which is reflected in Earnings from unconsolidated investments in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we received distributions of $5 million, of which $1 million was considered to be a return of investment using the cumulative earnings approach and reflected as Distributions from unconsolidated investments in our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 6—Risk Management Activities, Derivatives and Financial Instruments
The nature of our business involves commodity market and financial risks.  Specifically, we are exposed to commodity price variability related to our power generation business.  Our commercial team manages these commodity price risks with financially and physically settled contracts consistent with our commodity risk management policy.  Our treasury team manages our interest rate risk.
Our commodity risk management policy gives us the flexibility to sell energy and capacity and purchase fuel through a combination of spot market sales and near-term contractual arrangements (generally over a rolling one- to three-year time frame).  Our commodity risk management goal is to protect cash flow in the near-term while keeping the ability to capture value longer-term. 
Many of our contractual arrangements are derivative instruments and are accounted for at fair value as part of Revenues in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.  We have other contractual arrangements such as capacity forward sales arrangements, tolling arrangements, fixed price coal purchases, and retail power sales, which do not receive recurring fair value accounting treatment because these arrangements do not meet the definition of a derivative or are designated as “normal purchase, normal sale,” in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.  As a result, the gains and losses with respect to these arrangements are not reflected in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations until the delivery occurs.

Certain of our derivative instruments have credit limits that require us to post collateral. The amount of collateral required to be posted is a function of the net liability position of the derivative as well as our established credit limit with the respective counterparty. If our credit rating were to worsen, the counterparties could require us to post additional collateral. The amount of additional collateral that would be required to be posted would vary depending on the extent of change in our credit rating as well as the requirements of the individual counterparty. As of March 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of all commodity derivative instruments containing credit-risk-related contingent features, in a liability position and not fully collateralized, is $135 million for which we have posted no collateral. Transactions with our clearing brokers are excluded as they are fully collateralized. Our remaining derivative instruments do not have credit-related collateral contingencies as they are included within our first-lien collateral program.
The following table summarizes our cash collateral posted as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, within Prepayments and other current assets in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets and the amount applied against short-term risk management activities:

Level 3 Valuation Methods. The electricity derivatives classified within Level 3 include financial swaps executed in illiquid trading locations or on long dated contracts, capacity contracts, heat rate derivatives, and FTRs.  The curves used to generate the fair value of the financial swaps are based on basis adjustments applied to forward curves for liquid trading points, while the curves for the capacity deals are based upon auction results in the marketplace, which are infrequently executed. The forward market price of FTRs is derived using historical congestion patterns within the marketplace, heat rate derivative valuations are derived using a DCF model, which uses modeled forward natural gas and power prices, and the heat rate option is derived using a Black-Scholes spread model, which uses forward natural gas and power prices, market implied volatilities, and modeled correlation values. The natural gas derivatives classified within Level 3 include financial swaps, basis swaps, and physical purchases executed in illiquid trading locations or on long-dated contracts.
Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Valuations. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy include estimates of forward congestion, power price spreads, and natural gas pricing, and the difference between our plant locational prices to liquid hub prices. Power price spreads, and natural gas pricing, and the difference between our plant locational prices to liquid hub prices are generally based on observable markets where available, or derived from historical prices and forward market prices from similar observable markets when not available. Increases in the price of the spread on a buy or sell position in isolation would result in a higher/lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of Dynegy’s contracts classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2018 are as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had transfers between Level 3 and Level 2 due to changes in market liquidity.
(2)
For purposes of these tables, we define settlements as the beginning of period fair value of contracts that settled during the period.
Gains and losses recognized for Level 3 recurring items are included in Revenues in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for commodity derivatives.  We believe an analysis of commodity instruments classified as Level 3 should be undertaken with the understanding that these items generally serve as economic hedges of our power generation portfolio.
Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities.  Nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of such assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
Impairments.  During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded impairment charges related to materials and supplies inventory and our Killen facility. See Note 9—Inventory and Note 10—Property, Plant and Equipment for further discussion.

Impairments
Killen. On March 20, 2017, Dayton Power and Light Co., the partner and operator of Killen, announced the shutdown of its Killen generation facility by June 2018. As a result, the DCF model for the facility indicated negative cash flows, resulting in an impairment charge equal to its book value. We recorded an impairment charge of approximately $20 million recorded to Impairments in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Note 11—Joint Ownership of Generating Facilities
We hold ownership interests in certain jointly owned generating facilities. We are entitled to the proportional share of the generating capacity and the output of each unit equal to our ownership interests. We pay our share of capital expenditures, fuel inventory purchases, and operating expenses, except in certain instances where agreements have been executed to limit certain joint owners’ maximum exposure to additional costs. Our share of revenues and operating costs of the jointly owned generating facilities is included within the corresponding financial statement line items in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Credit Agreement
As of March 31, 2018, we had a $3.563 billion credit agreement, as amended, that consisted of (i) a $2.018 billion seven-year senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) $1.545 billion in senior secured revolving credit facilities (the “Revolving Facility,” and collectively with the Term Loan the “Credit Agreement”).
At March 31, 2018, there were no amounts drawn on the Revolving Facility, however, we had outstanding letters of credit (“LCs”) of approximately $578 million, which reduce the amount available under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain specified exceptions, including a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) calculated on a rolling four quarters basis. Under the Credit Agreement, if Dynegy utilizes 25 percent or more of its Revolving Facility, Dynegy must be in compliance with the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.00:1.00. Based on the calculation outlined in the Credit Agreement, we were in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2018.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, existing balances under our Forward Capacity Agreement, Inventory Financing Agreements, and Equipment Financing Agreements are excluded from Consolidated Senior Secured Net Debt, as defined in the Credit Agreement.
Interest Rate Swaps. As of March 31, 2018, we had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of approximately $1.959 billion. In March 2017, we amended our then-existing interest rate swaps to more closely match the terms of our Term Loan. The swaps have an aggregate notional value of approximately $759 million at an average fixed rate of 3.03 percent and expire between the second quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2020. In a previous extension to these interest rate swaps, in lieu of paying the breakage fees related to terminating the old swaps and issuing the new swaps, the costs were incorporated into the terms of the new swaps. As a result, any cash flows related to the settlement of the swaps are reflected as a financing activity in our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.
In May 2017, we entered into new interest rate swap agreements. These swaps have an aggregate notional value of approximately $1.2 billion at an average fixed rate of 1.97 percent and expire in the first quarter of 2024. Any cash flows related to the settlement of these swaps are reflected as an operating activity in our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.
Senior Notes
The senior notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that from time to time are a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement. The senior notes indentures limit, among other things, the ability of the Company or any of the guarantors to create liens upon any principal property to secure debt for borrowed money in excess of, among other limitations, 30 percent of total assets.
As a result of Genco’s emergence from bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2017, we issued $188 million of new seven-year unsecured notes as partial consideration in exchange for Genco’s existing senior notes. Please read Note 18—Genco Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Emergence for further discussion.
Amortizing Notes
On June 21, 2016, in connection with the issuance of the tangible equity units (“TEUs”), Dynegy issued the Amortizing Notes with a principal amount of approximately $87 million. The Amortizing Notes mature on July 1, 2019. Each installment payment per Amortizing Note will be paid in cash and will constitute a partial repayment of principal and a payment of interest, computed at an annual rate of 7 percent. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Payments will be applied first to the interest due and payable and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount, allocated as set forth in the Indenture.

The indenture limits, among other things, the ability of Dynegy to consolidate, merge, sell, or dispose all or substantially all of its assets. If a fundamental change occurs, or if Dynegy elects to settle the prepaid stock contracts (“SPCs”) early, then the holders of the Amortizing Notes will have the right to require Dynegy to repurchase the Amortizing Notes at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Amortizing Notes as of the repurchase date (as described in the supplemental indenture) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture also contains customary events of default which would permit the holders of the Amortizing Notes to declare those Amortizing Notes to be immediately due and payable if not cured within applicable grace periods, including the failure to make timely installment payments on the Amortizing Notes or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy covenants, and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
Forward Capacity Agreement
As of March 31, 2018, we have sold a portion of our PJM capacity that cleared for Planning Years 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 to a financial institution. The buyer in this transaction will receive capacity payments from PJM during the Planning Years 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 in the amounts of $10 million, $121 million and $110 million, respectively. Dynegy will continue to be subject to the performance obligations as well as any associated performance penalties and bonus payments for those planning years. As a result, this transaction is accounted for as a debt issuance of $241 million with an implied interest rate of 4.9 percent.
Inventory Financing Agreements
Emissions Repurchase Agreements. In August 2015, we entered into two repurchase transactions with a third party in which we sold approximately $78 million of RGGI inventory and received cash. In February 2017, we repurchased approximately $30 million of the previously sold RGGI inventory. We were obligated to repurchase the remaining inventory in February 2018 at a specified price with an annualized carry cost of approximately 3.49 percent. In February 2018, we repaid all amounts outstanding under these agreements.
Equipment Financing Agreements
Under certain of our contractual service agreements in which we receive maintenance and capital improvements for our gas-fueled generation fleet, we have obtained parts and equipment intended to increase the output, efficiency, and availability of our generation units. We have financed these parts and equipment under agreements with maturities ranging from 2019 to 2026. The portion of future payments attributable to principal will be classified as cash outflows from financing activities, and the portion of future payments attributable to interest will be classified as cash outflows from operating activities in our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. The related assets were recorded at the net present value of the payments of $111 million. The $26 million discount is currently being amortized as interest expense over the life of the payments.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
Set forth below is a summary of our material ongoing legal proceedings. We record accruals for estimated losses from contingencies when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated.  In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is reasonably possible.  In all instances, management has assessed the matters below based on current information and made judgments concerning their potential outcome, giving consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount, if any, the nature of damages sought, and the probability of success.  Management regularly reviews all new information with respect to such contingencies and adjusts its assessments and estimates of such contingencies accordingly.  Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties including unfavorable rulings or developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of our legal proceedings could involve amounts that are different from our currently recorded accruals, and that such differences could be material.

In addition to the matters discussed below, we are party to other routine proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  Any accruals or estimated losses related to these matters are not material. In management’s judgment, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Gas Index Pricing Litigation.  We, through our subsidiaries, and other energy companies are named as defendants in several lawsuits claiming damages resulting from alleged price manipulation through false reporting of natural gas prices to various index publications, wash trading, and churn trading from 2000-2002. The cases allege that the defendants engaged in an antitrust conspiracy to inflate natural gas prices in three states (Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin) during the relevant time period and seek damages under the respective state antitrust statutes.  Four of the cases are putative class actions and one case, Reorganized FLI (nka J.P. Morgan Trust Co., National Assn.) v. Oneok Inc., et al., is an individual action on behalf of Farmland Industries, Inc., with Farmland seeking full consideration damages (i.e., the full amount it paid for natural gas purchases during the relevant timeframe). The cases are consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding pending in the United States District Court for Nevada.  On March 30, 2017, the court denied the class Plaintiffs’ motions to certify class actions in each of the states, which decision now is on an interlocutory appeal to Ninth Circuit; the appeal is fully briefed and will be argued on July 12, 2018. As for the Farmland matter, on March 27, 2018, the Ninth Circuit reversed a summary judgment in favor of the defendants and it shortly will be remanded for further discovery and other pretrial proceedings.  While we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, or estimate a range of costs, they could have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Advatech Dispute. On September 2, 2016, our Genco subsidiary terminated its Second Amended and Restated Newton Flue Gas Desulfurization System Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning Services Contract dated as of December 15, 2014 with Advatech, LLC. Advatech issued Genco its final invoice on September 30, 2016 totaling $81 million. Genco contested the invoice on October 3, 2016 and believes the proper amount is less than $1 million. On October 27, 2016, Advatech initiated the dispute resolution process under the Contract and filed for arbitration on March 16, 2017. Settlement discussions required under the dispute resolution process have been unsuccessful. We dispute the allegations and will defend our position vigorously. While we cannot predict the outcome of this legal proceeding, or estimate a range of costs, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Vistra Merger Stockholder Litigation. On January 4, 2018, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Dynegy, Dynegy’s individual Board members, and Vistra Energy alleging that the December 13, 2017 S-4 Registration Statement related to the Merger “omits material information with respect to the Merger, which renders the Registration Statement false and misleading.”  Two additional lawsuits were filed in Texas and Delaware making nearly identical allegations but excluding Vistra as a defendant. In February 2018, Vistra Energy and Dynegy filed supplemental disclosures to the Registration Statement and the plaintiffs in all three actions agreed to forego any further effort to enjoin the Merger, dismiss the individual claims with prejudice, and dismiss without prejudice (due to limitations in waiving claims of non-participating parties) claims of the putative class following the stockholder vote on March 2, 2018.
Wood River Rail Dispute. On November 30, 2017, Dynegy Midwest Generation, LLC (“DMG”) received notification that BNSF Railway Company and Norfolk Southern Railway Company were initiating dispute resolution related to DMG’s suspension of its Wood River Rail Transportation Agreement with the railroads. Settlement discussions required under the dispute resolution process have been unsuccessful. On March 29, 2018, BNSF Railway Company and Norfolk Southern Railway Company filed a demand for arbitration. We dispute the railroads’ allegations and will defend our position vigorously. While we cannot predict the outcome of this legal proceeding, or estimate a range of costs, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Other Contingencies
MISO 2015-2016 Planning Resource Auction. In May 2015, three complaints were filed at FERC regarding the Zone 4 results for the 2015-2016 Planning Resource Auction (“PRA”) conducted by MISO. Dynegy is a named party in one of the

24


DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

complaints. The complainants, Public Citizen, Inc., the Illinois Attorney General, and Southwestern Electric Cooperative, Inc., have challenged the results of the PRA as unjust and unreasonable, requested rate relief/refunds, and requested changes to the MISO PRA structure going forward. Complainants have also alleged that Dynegy may have engaged in economic or physical withholding in Zone 4 constituting market manipulation in the 2015-2016 PRA. The Independent Market Monitor for MISO (“MISO IMM”), which was responsible for monitoring the MISO 2015-2016 PRA, determined that all offers were competitive and that no physical or economic withholding occurred.  The MISO IMM also stated, in a filing responding to the complaints, that there is no basis for the proposed remedies.  We filed our Answer to these complaints and believe that we complied fully with the terms of the MISO tariff in connection with the 2015-2016 PRA, disputed the allegations, and will defend our actions vigorously. In addition, the Illinois Industrial Energy Consumers filed a complaint at FERC against MISO on June 30, 2015 requesting prospective changes to the MISO tariff. Dynegy also responded to this complaint.
On October 1, 2015, FERC issued an order of non-public, formal investigation, stating that shortly after the conclusion of the 2015-2016 PRA, FERC’s Office of Enforcement began a non-public informal investigation into whether market manipulation or other potential violations of FERC orders, rules, and regulations occurred before or during the PRA (the “Order”). The Order noted that the investigation is ongoing, and that the conversion of the informal, non-public investigation to a formal, non-public investigation does not indicate that FERC has determined that any entity has engaged in market manipulation or otherwise violated any FERC order, rule, or regulation. Vistra is participating in the investigation on behalf of Dynegy following the closing of the Merger. We believe that our conduct was proper and will defend our position vigorously but we cannot predict the outcome of the investigation or the amount, if any, of loss that may result.
On December 31, 2015, FERC issued an order on the complaints requiring a number of prospective changes to the MISO tariff provisions associated with calculating Initial Reference Levels and Local Clearing Requirements, effective as of the 2016-2017 PRA. The order did not address the arguments of the complainants regarding the 2015-2016 PRA, and stated that those issues remain under consideration and will be addressed in a future order.
New Source Review and CAA Matters.
New Source Review. Since 1999, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has been engaged in a nationwide enforcement initiative to determine whether coal-fired power plants failed to comply with the requirements of the New Source Review (“NSR”) and New Source Performance Standard provisions under the CAA when the plants implemented changes. The EPA’s NSR initiative focuses on whether projects performed at power plants triggered various permitting requirements, including the need to install pollution control equipment.
In August 2012, the EPA issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) alleging that projects performed in 1997, 2006, and 2007 at the Newton facility violated Prevention of Significant Deterioration (“PSD”), Title V permitting, and other CAA requirements. The NOV remains unresolved. We believe our defenses to the allegations described in the NOV are meritorious. A decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2013 held that similar PSD claims older than five years were barred by the statute of limitations. That determination is in line with the majority of other circuit court decisions that have held that PSD claims arise at the time of the projects at issue are not continuing for statute of limitations purposes. This Seventh Circuit decision may provide an additional defense to the allegations in the Newton facility NOV. In September 2016, we retired Newton Unit 2. While we cannot predict the outcome of this legal proceeding, or estimate a range of costs, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Zimmer NOVs. In December 2014, the EPA issued an NOV alleging violation of opacity standards at the Zimmer facility. The EPA previously had issued NOVs to Zimmer in 2008 and 2010 alleging violations of the CAA, the Ohio State Implementation Plan, and the station’s air permits including standards applicable to opacity, sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid mist, and heat input. The NOVs remain unresolved. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
Killen and Stuart NOVs. The EPA issued NOVs in December 2014 for Killen and Stuart, and in February 2017 for Stuart, alleging violations of opacity standards. In May and June 2017, we received two letters from the Sierra Club providing

25


DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

notice of its intent to sue various Dynegy entities and the owner and operator of the Killen and Stuart facilities, respectively, alleging violations of opacity standards under the CAA. The Dayton Power and Light Company, the operator of Killen and Stuart, is expected to act on behalf of itself and the co-owners with respect to these matters. We are unable to predict the outcome of these claims or estimate a range of costs.
Edwards CAA Citizen Suit. In April 2013, environmental groups filed a CAA citizen suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois alleging violations of opacity and particulate matter limits at our MISO segment’s Edwards facility. In August 2016, the District Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on certain liability issues. We filed a motion seeking interlocutory appeal of the court’s summary judgment ruling. In February 2017, the appellate court denied our motion for interlocutory appeal. The District Court has scheduled the remedy phase trial for March 2019. We dispute the allegations and will defend the case vigorously. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
Ultimate resolution of any of these CAA matters could have a material adverse impact on our future financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. A resolution could result in increased capital expenditures for the installation of pollution control equipment, increased operations and maintenance expenses, and penalties, or could result in an order or a decision to retire the plant. While we cannot predict the outcome of this legal proceeding, or estimate a range of costs, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Coal Combustion Residuals/ Groundwater.
MISO Segment. In 2012, the Illinois EPA (“IEPA”) issued violation notices alleging violations of groundwater standards onsite at our Baldwin and Vermilion facilities’ Coal Combustion Residuals (“CCR”) surface impoundments. In 2016, the IEPA approved our closure and post-closure care plans for the Baldwin old east, east, and west fly ash CCR surface impoundments. We are working towards implementation of those closure plans.
At our retired Vermilion facility, which is not subject to the federal CCR rule, we submitted proposed corrective action plans involving closure of two CCR surface impoundments (i.e., the old east and the north impoundments) to the IEPA in 2012, with revised plans submitted in 2014. In May 2017, in response to a request from the IEPA for additional information regarding the closure of these Vermilion surface impoundments, we agreed to perform additional groundwater sampling and closure options and riverbank stabilizing options. By letter dated January 31, 2018, Prairie Rivers Network provided 60-day notice of its intent to sue our subsidiary Dynegy Midwest Generation, LLC under the federal Clean Water Act for alleged unauthorized discharges from the surface impoundments at our Vermilion facility and alleged related violations of the facility’s NPDES permit. We dispute the allegations and will vigorously defend our position.
In 2012, the IEPA issued violation notices alleging violations of groundwater standards at the Newton and Coffeen facilities’ CCR surface impoundments. We are addressing these CCR surface impoundments in accordance with the federal CCR rule.
If remediation measures concerning groundwater are necessary at any of our coal-fired MISO Segment facilities, we may incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs, or range of costs, of remediation, if any, that ultimately may be required. CCR surface impoundment and landfill closure costs, as determined by our operations and environmental services teams, are reflected in our AROs.
Other Commitments
In conducting our operations, we routinely enter into long-term commodity purchase and sale commitments, as well as agreements that commit future cash flow to the lease or acquisition of assets used in our businesses. These commitments have been typically associated with commodity supply arrangements, capital projects, reservation charges associated with firm

26

transmission, transportation, storage and leases for office space, equipment, design and construction, plant sites, and power generation assets.
 Indemnifications and Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, we routinely enter into contractual agreements that contain various representations, warranties, indemnifications and guarantees.  Examples of such agreements include, but are not limited to, service agreements, equipment purchase agreements, engineering and technical service agreements, asset sales agreements, and procurement and construction contracts.  Some agreements contain indemnities that cover the other party’s negligence or limit the other party’s liability with respect to third party claims, in which event we will effectively be indemnifying the other party.  Virtually all such agreements contain representations or warranties that are covered by indemnifications against the losses incurred by the other parties in the event such representations and warranties are false.  While there is always the possibility of a loss related to such representations, warranties, indemnifications, and guarantees in our contractual agreements, and such loss could be significant, in most cases management considers the probability of loss to be remote.  We have accrued no amounts with respect to the indemnifications as of March 31, 2018 because none were probable of occurring, nor could they be reasonably estimated.

Note 15—Income Taxes
Income Tax Benefit. We compute our quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method based on applying an anticipated annual effective rate to our year-to-date income or loss, except for significant, unusual, or extraordinary transactions.  Income taxes for significant, unusual, or extraordinary transactions are computed and recorded in the period that the specific transaction occurs. The income taxes related to income (loss) from continuing operations were as follows:

As of March 31, 2018, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction as they arise as there was not sufficient evidence to overcome our historical cumulative losses to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not our net deferred tax assets can be realized in the future.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). Substantially all of the provisions of the TCJA are effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.
As a result of the TCJA, we recorded a $223 million long term tax receivable in 2017 related to the expected refund of our existing AMT credits.  During 2018, we received approval from IRS National Office providing relief to file amended returns with the IRS to monetize AMT credits for the tax years 2013 through 2015, in order to potentially accelerate the receipt of such refunds as set forth in the TCJA.  In April 2018, we filed such amended returns. The total expected refund from these returns is approximately $30 million, and is included in the $223 million discussed above.   Due to size, the refunds will be reviewed by the Joint Committee on Taxation prior to release and, as such, timing of receipt remains uncertain.
Our financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, included provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates for the measurement and accounting of certain effects of the TCJA. There were no significant changes made to our estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. We are still in the process of finalizing and quantifying the tax effects of the TCJA. Please read Note 14—Income Taxes in our Form 10-K for further discussion.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits. During the first quarter of 2017, we increased our unrecognized tax benefits by $66 million as a result of the ENGIE Acquisition for uncertain tax positions included in GSENA’s tax returns prior to our ownership. The entire $66 million would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

Note 16—Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans
We sponsor and administer defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans for the benefit of our employees and also provide other post-employment benefits to retirees who meet age and service requirements, which are further described in Note 17—Employee Compensation, Savings, Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans in our Form 10-K.
In the first quarter of 2017, the Dynegy pension and other post-employment plans were amended as a result of negotiations with former Duke Midwest union participants, IBEW Local 1347. As part of these amendments, the participants’ previous pension plan accrued benefits were frozen as of December 31, 2017 and began accruing on January 1, 2018 with a minimum interest crediting rate of 4 percent. Other post-employment plans were amended to provide retiree medical plan benefits to only certain participants as of January 1, 2018. As a result of these amendments, we remeasured our affected plans and recorded a net-of-tax gain of approximately $15 million through accumulated other comprehensive income during the first quarter of 2017.

Note 17—Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
Upon our emergence from bankruptcy on October 1, 2012, we authorized 420 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 11,326,122 shares were currently held in treasury. As a result of the Merger, trading on our common stock has ceased as of the Closing date and each outstanding share of Dynegy Common Stock (other than those held in treasury, which shares were automatically cancelled and ceased to exist) was converted into the right to receive 0.652 shares of Vistra Energy Common Stock. At the effective time of the Merger, the Company’s shareholders ceased to have any rights as shareholders in the Company (other than their right to receive Vistra Energy Common Stock) and instead have the rights of a stockholder in Vistra Energy. Please read Note 20—Subsequent Events for further discussion.
TEUs
On June 21, 2016, we issued 4.6 million, 7 percent tangible equity units (“TEUs”) at $100 per unit. Each TEU was comprised of a prepaid stock purchase contract (“SPC”) and an amortizing note which were accounted for as separate instruments.
Unless settled early at the holder’s or Dynegy’s election or redeemed by Dynegy in connection with an acquisition termination redemption, on July 1, 2019, Dynegy will deliver to the SPC holders a number of shares of common stock based on the 20 day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our common stock, at a conversion price ranging from 5.0201 shares to 6.1996 shares.

In addition, on any business day during the period beginning on, and including, the business day immediately following the date of initial issuance of the TEUs to, but excluding, the third business day immediately preceding the mandatory settlement date, any holder of an SPC may settle any or all of its SPCs early, and Dynegy will deliver a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the minimum settlement rate.  Additionally, the SPCs may be redeemed in the event of a fundamental change or under an acquisition termination event, both as defined in the SPC. Please read Note 12—Tangible Equity Units in our Form 10-K for further discussion. As a result of the Merger, each share of the TEUs was converted into one new share of TEUs of Vistra Energy Corp. Please read Note 20—Subsequent Events for further discussion.
Warrants
During 2017, we issued 9.0 million warrants (the “Warrants”), each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of Dynegy common stock, to eligible holders of Genco senior notes as a result of the Genco Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The Warrants have an exercise price of $35 per share of common stock and a seven-year term expiring on February 2, 2024. The Warrants are recorded as Other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet and are adjusted to their estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in Other income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations. As a result of the Merger, each Warrant to purchase common stock of Dynegy Inc. was converted into one new Warrant to purchase common stock of Vistra Energy Corp. Please read Note 20—Subsequent Events for further discussion.

Note 18—Genco Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Emergence
On December 9, 2016, Genco filed a petition under title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On January 25, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Genco Plan and Genco emerged from bankruptcy on February 2, 2017. As a result, we eliminated $825 million of Genco senior notes and $7 million of accrued interest in exchange for approximately $122 million of cash, $188 million of new seven-year unsecured notes, and Warrants to purchase up to 9 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $17 million, which resulted in a $483 million gain recognized in Bankruptcy reorganization items in our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The Warrants, which have an exercise price of $35 per share of common stock, have a seven-year term expiring on February 2, 2024 and are recorded as Other long-term liabilities in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018.

Note 19—Segment Information
We report the results of our operations in five segments: (i) PJM, (ii) NY/NE, (iii) ERCOT, (iv) MISO, and (v) CAISO. Our unaudited consolidated financial results also reflect corporate-level expenses such as general and administrative expense, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense). In the fourth quarter of 2017, we combined our previous MISO and IPH segments into a single MISO segment to better align our IPH assets, which reside within the MISO market area, and changed our organizational structure to manage our assets, make financial decisions, and allocate resources based upon the market areas in which our plants operate. Accordingly, the Company has recast data from prior periods to conform to the current year segment presentation. PJM also includes our Dynegy Energy Services retail business in Ohio and Pennsylvania. NY/NE also includes our Dynegy Energy Services retail business in Massachusetts. MISO also includes our Homefield Energy retail business in Illinois.
Reportable segment information, including intercompany transactions accounted for at prevailing market rates, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is presented below:

DYNEGY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Note 20—Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 18, 2018, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
Vistra Merger
On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Dynegy merged with and into Vistra Energy, with Vistra Energy continuing as the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, Dynegy stockholders received 0.652 shares of Vistra Energy common stock for each share of Dynegy common stock they owned, resulting in Vistra Energy stockholders and Dynegy stockholders owning approximately 79 percent and 21 percent, respectively, of the combined company. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred approximately $1 million in costs related to the Merger, which are included in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statement of operations.    
The Company requested the removal of Dynegy common stock, TEUs and Warrants from listing and registration on the NYSE and registration with the SEC. The Company has filed all requisite forms with the SEC to terminate the registration of the Dynegy securities noted above and suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. Trading of Dynegy Common Stock on the NYSE was suspended as of the Closing Date. Trading of the TEUs and the Warrants on the NYSE was suspended prior to the Closing Date to effect the assumption of the TEUs and the Warrants by Vistra Energy.

Exhibit 99.2

Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the business combination of Vistra Energy and Dynegy, which was completed on April 9, 2018, based on the historical financial position and results of operations of Vistra Energy and Dynegy. In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Dynegy common stock, other than shares held by Vistra Energy or any of its subsidiaries, held in treasury by Dynegy or held by a subsidiary of Dynegy was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.652 shares of Vistra Energy common stock.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 (collectively the “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements”) are based on the historical financial statements of Vistra Energy (included in the Vistra 2018 Form 10-Q and 2017 Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference) and the historical financial statements of Dynegy for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, after giving effect to the Merger and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to these Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) (the pro forma statements of income (loss)) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, give effect to the Merger as if it was completed on January 1, 2017. Merger-related expenses are not included in the accompanying pro forma statement of income (loss), as they are non-recurring in nature. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet (the pro forma balance sheet) gives effect to the Merger as if it was completed on March 31, 2018. Therefore, the impact of estimated future Merger-related expenses is reflected in the pro forma balance sheet as an increase to other current liabilities and a decrease to retained earnings.

The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost savings (or associated costs to achieve such savings) or margin enhancements from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring that could result from the Merger. Further, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the pro forma financial statements. Transactions between Vistra Energy and Dynegy during the periods presented in the pro forma financial statements have been eliminated as if Vistra Energy and Dynegy were consolidated affiliates during the periods presented.

The Merger is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Vistra Energy is considered to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. The purchase price is based on the opening price of Vistra Energy common stock on April 9, 2018 of $19.87 and the exchange of Dynegy’s outstanding shares of common stock for the right to receive 0.652 of a share of Vistra Energy common stock.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in connection with the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. Since the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded at the date of the Merger may differ materially from the information presented. These estimates are subject to change pending further review of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the final purchase price. Additionally, Vistra is currently analyzing the changes in valuation inputs including forecasted market prices of electricity, natural gas, coal, capacity revenues, interest rates, changes to expected operating plans for certain assets, changes to regulatory requirements and other factors, and therefore the values of the assets and liabilities in these Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements may differ materially from the final fair values.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and financial position that would have been achieved had the pro forma events taken place on the dates indicated, or the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with:

the accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements;

the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of Vistra Energy as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, included in Vistra Energy’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;

B.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, $4 million of transactions between Vistra Energy and Dynegy were recorded as operating revenue by Dynegy and as a contra-revenue in operating revenue by Vistra Energy. As the amounts are recorded within operating revenue for both entities, the transaction eliminates upon combination and no further adjustment is required.

C.
Reflects adjustments for differences in accounting policy to:

a.
Reclassify gains and losses for commodity hedges related to fuel, which increases revenue and expense by $2 and $99 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

b.
Reclassify transmission and distribution delivery fees to conform with Vistra Energy’s historical presentation, which increases revenue and expense by $18 million and $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

c.
Reclassify capacity costs to conform to Vistra Energy’s historical presentation, which increases revenue and expense by $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

d.
Adjust commodity derivative transactions to conform to Vistra Energy’s accounting policies, which use a mid-market valuation convention as a practical expedient. This adjustment increases revenue and expense by $17 million and $25 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and by $9 million and $2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In the historical and pro forma Dynegy consolidated statements of income these amounts were presented net in operating revenues, whereas Vistra Energy presents similar amounts as fuel, purchased power costs and delivery fees.

D.
Reflects an adjustment for differences in accounting policy to reclassify commission or broker fees for retail customer acquisitions. In the historical Dynegy consolidated statement of income these amounts were presented net in operating revenues, whereas Vistra Energy presents similar amounts as operating costs. The adjustment increases revenue and operating costs by $7 million and $23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

E.
Reflects an adjustment to decrease revenue and expense by $3 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and by $14 million and $8 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the amortization of acquired intangible contract assets and liabilities.


7



F.
Reflects an adjustment to conform accounting policies of Dynegy to Vistra Energy related to recognition method for major maintenance expenses for power generation assets. Adjustment requires an increase to operating costs by $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and a decrease to operating costs by $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

G.
Reflects an adjustment to increase depreciation expense by $12 million and $69 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, due to the fair value measurement of long-lived assets performed in connection with the Merger. The remaining depreciable lives of the acquired long-lived assets range from 1 to 30 years.

H.
In accordance with the requirements for reporting on combined pro forma financial information, Vistra Energy did not remove certain material, nonrecurring items from Dynegy’s as adjusted pro forma consolidated statements of income. These items include:

a.
Impairment charges of $6 million and $148 million on certain power generation assets and equity method investments for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively;

b.
Gain of $494 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 of reorganization items related to the Genco Chapter 11 bankruptcy and emergence;

c.
Loss on the sale of assets of $122 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 that is primarily due to the sale of the Lee, Dighton, and Milford, MA facilities;

d.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $79 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This amount was reclassified to interest expense to conform to Vistra Energy’s financial statement presentation.

I.
Reflects an adjustment to remove $3 million of costs incurred by Dynegy and $3 million of costs incurred by Vistra Energy related to the Merger for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Also reflects an adjustment to remove $17 million and $9 million of merger-related costs, which were incurred by Dynegy and Vistra Energy, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017.

J.
Historical interest expense for Dynegy was reduced by $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $78 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the removal of historical interest expense and recalculation of interest expense after the acquired debt was recorded at fair value as a result of allocating the purchase price of the acquisition. For purposes of estimating the pro forma interest expense related to the Tranche C-2 Term Loan Vistra Energy used interest rates of 4.35% and 3.57%, respectively, per annum for its variable interest rates. The Tranche C-2 Term Loan interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a 275 basis point fixed margin. The Revolving Facilities’ rate is based on LIBOR plus a 250 basis point leveraged margin.

K.
Reflects adjustments to the accretion expense related to the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation by including Dynegy’s tax attributes and forecasted taxable income of the combined entity, which results in changes to the forecasted payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation. The adjusted accretion expense was based off of the change in estimate as of March 31, 2018 (see Note Z below). The adjustment resulted in a decrease in expense of $5 million and an increase in gain of $35 million due to the impacts of tax receivable agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

L.
Reflects the tax impact of the pro forma adjustments and the elimination of valuation allowances in Dynegy's historical financial statements. In the year ended December 31, 2017, Dynegy recognized an income tax benefit of $879 million resulting in a decrease in the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In the three months ended March 31, 2018, Dynegy recognized an income tax charge of $43 million resulting in an increase in the valuation allowance. As more fully described in Note V below, on a pro forma combined basis the valuation allowance has been substantially eliminated as the pro forma combined valuation allowance only relates to a portion of the state income taxes NOL carryforward. Therefore, income tax expense is reflected on the pro forma pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 with no significant impact from changes in the valuation allowance. Pro forma adjustments to tax expense result in an effective tax rate that is higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% at March 31, 2018 due primarily to the impact of state income tax expense. Pro forma adjustments to tax expense result in an effective tax rate that is lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% at December 31, 2017 due primarily to the reduction of deferred tax assets related to the tax rate reduction in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, offset by nondeductible Tax Receivable Agreement accretion and state income tax expense, reflective of the change in the timing and amount of the Tax Receivable Agreement payments due under the Tax Receivables Agreement after contemplating the effects of the Merger.

M.
Reflects an adjustment for the replacement of the common stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), stock options, Warrants and Tangible Equity Units of Dynegy with shares of common stock, RSUs, PSUs, stock options, Warrants and Tangible Equity Units of Vistra Energy to complete the Merger, at the Exchange Ratio of 0.652 shares of Vistra Energy per share of Dynegy.

Conversion of Dynegy RSUs to Vistra RSUs includes the addition of RSUs which Dynegy had historically recorded as a liability as the intent was to settle the RSUs in cash. Vistra intends to settle all RSUs outstanding in shares and therefore has included the effects of these RSUs in equity as the issuance of the shares will have a dilutive impact on common shares outstanding.

Q.

R.
Reflects an increase of $495 million to record Dynegy’s property, plant and equipment, at their respective estimated fair values. The fair value of Dynegy's property, plant and equipment related to its power generation assets was estimated using a discounted cash flow method which was based on a number of factors including forecasted power prices, fuel prices, capacity revenues, operating parameters, operating and maintenance costs and other variables. The cash flows for each respective generation asset were discounted using rates between 7% and 9%, depending on the related technology and market that each respective asset operates in. Under this method, fair value of Dynegy’s property, plant and equipment is estimated to be approximately $9.2 billion. The estimate is preliminary, subject to change and could vary materially from the actual adjustment.


10



S.
Estimated equity consideration

On the date of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Dynegy common stock, par value $0.01 per share, other than shares held in treasury by Dynegy or held by a subsidiary of Dynegy, was automatically converted into 0.652 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Vistra Energy (the “Exchange Ratio”), except that cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares, which resulted in those shareholders who owned shares of Vistra Energy immediately prior to the Merger owning approximately 79% of the combined company, and those shareholders who owned shares of Dynegy immediately prior to the Merger, owning the remaining 21%. Dynegy Warrants, stock options, equity-based awards and Tangible Equity Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were generally automatically converted upon completion of the Merger into stock options, equity-based awards (RSUs, PSUs) and Tangible Equity Units, respectively, with respect to Vistra Energy's common stock, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio. The equity consideration, which represents a portion of the consideration transferred to the Dynegy stockholders in the Merger, was calculated based on the number of shares of the combined company that stockholders owning Dynegy stock immediately prior to the Merger owned immediately after the Merger closed.

The fair value of the purchase consideration transferred on the closing date includes the value of the equity consideration (including the value attributable to the consideration transferred of replacement RSUs, PSUs, stock options, Warrants and Tangible Equity Units). The fair value per share of Vistra Energy common stock was $19.87 per share, which was the opening price of Vistra Energy’s common stock on April 9, 2018. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements reflect a purchase price of approximately $2.3 billion.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Dynegy, the accounting acquiree, are recorded at fair value on the Merger date and added to those of Vistra Energy, the accounting acquirer. The pro forma adjustments included herein are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Merger between Vistra Energy and Dynegy. The final purchase price allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. The purchase price allocation may change materially based on the receipt of more detailed information. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurance that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

The following table provides a summary of the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Dynegy, based on Dynegy’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018, with all excess value over consideration paid recorded as goodwill.

U.
Reflects a $26 million adjustment to remove historical Dynegy equity-linked awards recorded as a liability. Vistra Energy management has determined that these awards will be settled in shares of the combined Company and are therefore recorded as a component of equity.


12



V.
Reflects an adjustment for the combined deferred tax assets resulting from the Merger. The estimated increase in deferred tax asset of $817 million stems primarily from the addition of Dynegy’s net operating loss carryforward (which is approximately $4.5 billion gross (federal)) and the related fair value adjustments resulting from the purchase price allocation. The deferred tax asset is preliminary and subject to change based on the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Historical Dynegy balance sheet does not reflect this net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset as a valuation allowance was required; however, based on the expected future taxable income of the combined entity, a valuation allowance is not expected to be required on the federal NOL. Note that a valuation allowance (approximately $38 million) remains on a portion of the state NOL carryforward. The tax rate of 21% was utilized in determining the value of the combined deferred tax asset to give effect to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

W.
Reflects an adjustment to record Dynegy’s long-term debt at its respective fair value (including current maturities of long-term debt), which is approximated to be $8.9 billion. Estimated fair value was calculated using market quotes available at April 9, 2018 for the Tranche C-2 Term Loan, due 2024, all outstanding Senior Notes and the 7% Amortizing Notes. Remaining debt, Forward Capacity Agreements, Equipment Financing Agreements and Inventory Financing Agreements, were valued at March 31, 2018 utilizing the carrying value as an approximation of fair value.

The carrying amount of Dynegy’s long-term debt (including current maturities of long-term debt) was $8.4 billion as of March 31, 2018, and the resulting fair value measurement increased long-term debt excluding amounts currently due by $515 million and decreased long-term debt currently due by $4 million.

Reflects the decrease of $4 million and the increase of $47 million in Dynegy’s short-term and long-term asset retirement obligations, respectively, as a result of the fair value adjustment for those obligations, primarily due to estimating the fair value of Dynegy’s asset retirement obligations using the relevant discount rates as of the pro forma balance sheet date.

Y.
Reflects the addition of $43 million of advisor fees paid upon the closing of the Merger for advisors of Dynegy and Vistra Energy. Also reflects an adjustment of $55 million of severance costs incurred due to the transactions.

Z.
Reflects the decrease of $25 million related to the non-current portion of the Tax Receivable Agreement, resulting from the impacts of the Merger on the forecasted payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation. The adjustments to the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation are caused by the addition of Dynegy’s tax attributes and the forecasted taxable income of the combined entity, which results in changes to the forecasted payments under the tax receivable agreement obligation. The adjusted forecasted payments were used to determine the obligation based on Vistra Energy’s accounting policy related to changes in estimates for the obligation. The estimated obligation is based on certain assumptions which are subject to significant uncertainty, are not yet final and are subject to change.

AA.
Reflects preliminary adjustments to remove Historical Dynegy retained deficit of $2.1 billion and accumulated other comprehensive income of $30 million.

Additional paid-in-capital was reduced by $1.4 billion, which represents the issuance of shares of Vistra Energy common stock to Dynegy shareholders with an estimated value of $2.3 billion, less the elimination of Dynegy historical equity of $3.7 billion.

____________
(a)
This amount represents severance costs related to Dynegy employees terminated in connection with the Merger. This is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings and accrued liabilities. No adjustment was made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of income as these costs are one-time costs related to the Merger and do not have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.
(b)
This amount represents success fees paid to financial advisors at the Merger close. This is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings with an offsetting adjustment made to other current liabilities.
(c)
This amount represents costs related to the acceleration of vesting of stock options and restricted stock units for Dynegy employees terminated in connection with the Merger. This is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings, but not reflected as an adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of income as this is a one-time cost related to the Merger and does not have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.
