On July 14, 2003, Mirant Corporation ("Mirant") and certain of its direct
and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, including Mirant Americas Generation, LLC and
Mirant Mid-Atlantic, LLC (collectively, the "Debtors"), each filed voluntary
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the

Excluded from the filings were all of Mirant's foreign operating subsidiaries,
other than certain subsidiaries in Canada. The Debtors remain in possession of
their assets and properties, and continue to operate their businesses and manage
their properties, as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. On July 14, 2003, Mirant
