SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 DATE OF REPORT (DATE OF EARLIEST EVENT REPORTED): APRIL 29, 2002 DYNEGY INC. (Exact Name of Registrant as Specified in its Charter) Illinois 1-15659 74-2928353 (State or other jurisdiction (Commission File Number) (IRS Employer of incorporation) Identification No.) 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800 Houston, Texas 77002 (Address of principal executive offices) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (713) 507-6400 Not Applicable (Former name or former address, if changed since last report) ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS. Dynegy Inc. ("Dynegy") has recently become aware of the public announcement of several class action lawsuits that have been commenced on behalf of purchasers of publicly traded securities of Dynegy generally during the period between April 2001 and April 2002. Dynegy has not been served with complaints relating to these actions. However, based on press reports relating to these complaints, Dynegy understands that they principally assert that Dynegy and certain of its officers and directors violated the federal securities laws in connection with Dynegy's accounting treatment and disclosure of the natural gas supply transaction that was entered into by Dynegy in April 2001 and the subject of Dynegy's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 25, 2002. Dynegy anticipates that additional suits of this nature may be commenced and that all such suits will eventually be consolidated in a single court. Dynegy will fully analyze these allegations once the complaints are received and, based on its current understanding, believes these allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.
