On March 9, 2021, ComEd issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of its
First Mortgage 3.125% Bonds, Series 130, due March 15, 2051. The Bonds were

ComEd's utility plant. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used by ComEd to repay
a portion of ComEd's outstanding commercial paper obligations and two
outstanding term loans, and to fund other general corporate purposes. The Bonds
were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to

with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which was effective upon
filing.

The Bonds carry an interest rate of 3.125% per annum. Interest on the Bonds is
payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, commencing September 15,
2021. The Bonds are redeemable in whole or in part at ComEd's option (i) at any
time prior to September 15, 2050 at a redemption price equal to the greater of
100% of the principal amount to be redeemed or a "make-whole" redemption price
calculated as provided in the Supplemental Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid
interest up to but excluding the redemption date, and (ii) on or after September
15, 2050 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption
date. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture, which sets forth the terms of the
