Lew Hay Provides Update on Merger Issues

Dear fellow employees,

Over the last several weeks, you have no doubt seen stories in the media about a pending electric rate increase for customers of Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE). The pending electric rate increase has not only been the focus of intense media coverage but also much political debate in Maryland. Several bills have been passed by the Maryland legislature relating to the pending rate increase and our proposed merger with Constellation Energy. These bills and other actions taken by the Maryland legislature cause us a great deal of concern.

While we realize that BGE customers will be adversely impacted by increasing power prices, the fact is that higher fuel prices have dramatically increased electric rates throughout the country, and BGE customers face the increases whether or not the merger goes forward.

The events of the past few weeks in Maryland pose serious implications for our merger. While we are hopeful that a reasonable compromise may emerge, we all must realize that negotiations may fail. Keep in mind, however, that each company is successful in its own right. FPL Group continues to be very well positioned and has excellent growth prospects. Our proposed merger with Constellation Energy is a commercial transaction, and we have a responsibility to our shareholders to evaluate it in those terms. No matter what happens, we will not waiver in our commitment to our shareholders, customers and employees.

Earlier today, Mayo Shattuck, Chairman and CEO of Constellation Energy, sent the attached letter to Constellation employees. I think it will provide you additional insight into the BGE rate negotiations and how legislative actions may impact the merger.

While I know everyone is interested in what is happening in Maryland and the potential impact on our merger, it is important for all of us to remain focused on the job at hand and meeting our 2006 objectives. We will keep you updated on the merger as events warrant.


Best regards,


Lew Hay

As we enter the final days of the 2006 Maryland General Assembly session, I wanted to update you on the status of the BGE rate negotiations and outline how resolution of the issue may impact our merger with FPL Group.

This prolonged debate has created a great deal of uncertainty and that is weighing most heavily on BGE and its customers. As you may have read, the Moody's rating agency just downgraded the utility's debt rating because it anticipates any solution to the rate issue will hurt BGE's financial performance in the years ahead. The political debate in Annapolis will not deter us from living up to our commitment to BGE customers, both in the near-term as we adjust to market rates, and long-term as we continue to maintain and enhance a safe and reliable system. This collective responsibility to our customers, which we have carried for almost 200 years, is paramount. To that end, we will not compromise on any solution that impairs our ability to perform that mission.

We continue negotiations with the Governor and Assembly leaders but time is running short-Monday, April 10 is the final day of the session. As you know, we put on the table proposals that would reduce the size of any residential rate hike and spread it over a number of years. We've also offered to finance a rate stabilization program, in part with economic incentives that would be realized upon closing of our merger with FPL Group.

We believe some in the Legislature have underestimated the value of our proposals, while others fail to appreciate the reality of today's energy markets. The irrefutable fact is that the rate increase is due to globally rising commodity fuel prices that are well beyond the control of BGE or Constellation or the state of Maryland. We have fully explained that if rates were adjusted to today's prices, they would still only be 66 percent higher than 1993 rates, while other commodities like gas, heating oil and coal have all risen more than 100 percent. We explained that BGE has not profited from the cost of the electric commodity. And, we explained the discriminatory aspects of capping BGE customer rates while allowing other Maryland utilities to charge rates 40 percent to 50 percent higher than ours at a time when BGE is transitioning to market rates. I am comfortable that lawmakers have the facts, and now they must find the resolve to deal with them fairly and judiciously.

In addition to the rate issue, the Legislature has passed a number of bills that would unfairly-and, we believe, illegally-attempt to extract hundreds of millions of dollars from Constellation Energy and BGE, and require legislative approval of the merger. These proposals would put unreasonable strains on our balance sheet and threaten the merger, but there is an even more important issue at stake. We can't allow the future of our company to be overly influenced by an election-year political debate. We have an obligation to protect our employees, our shareholders and our future-and we will.

This means we may be forced, if certain legislation stands, to undertake a legal challenge. From our perspective, any legislative "taking" of our property would be unconstitutional. Some legislators have taken the position that the 1999 deregulation settlement should be re-opened and that all "stranded costs" embedded in that settlement be repaid to residential ratepayers, even though residential users paid only a third of the total $528 million. This position does not stand up under any scrutiny. The settlement in 1999 was fairly negotiated, litigated on two occasions-first in Baltimore City Circuit Court and then the Maryland Court of Special Appeals-and upheld. If litigation becomes necessary, we're confident the courts will again uphold our position.

The events of the past few weeks obviously pose serious implications for our merger with FPL Group. The merger is about growing our business but also saving costs and becoming more efficient. It also has many benefits for Maryland, including job growth, development of wind power in the state, advancement of new nuclear initiatives, and continued philanthropy. A compromise may allow these and other positive developments to move forward but we must recognize that negotiations may fail. Each company is strong in its own right and together we must decide whether the benefits of the merger outweigh the negative effects of legislative action or litigation. If the merger is called off, I'm confident Constellation Energy can pursue an independent course and maintain and grow its position as the North American competitive energy leader.

It's still too early to say what will happen in the next few days. As I said, talks continue and we're pushing for a balanced resolution. We'll continue to pursue an outcome that ensures growth and opportunity for BGE and Constellation Energy, and helps our customers manage the transition to market prices.

Regards,

Mayo
