Dynegy Inc. (NYSE:DYN) (we, us, our or Dynegy) announced today
that it has commenced a cash tender offer (Tender Offer), subject
to certain terms and conditions, to purchase up to a total of $1.2
billion aggregate principal amount (Tender Cap Amount) of its
outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2019 (Securities).
The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York
City time, on September 1, 2017 (such date and time, as it may be
extended by us, the Expiration Date). The terms and conditions of
the Tender Offer are described in an Offer to Purchase dated August
7, 2017 (Offer to Purchase). Holders of the Securities are urged to
carefully read the Offer to Purchase before making any decision
with respect to the Tender Offer.

(1) Excludes accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not
including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below), which
will be paid in addition to the Tender Offer Consideration (as
defined below) or Total Consideration (as defined below), as
applicable.
(2) Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).
The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on August 18, 2017 (such date and time, as it may be extended
by us, the Early Tender Date), and accepted for purchase pursuant
to the Tender Offer, will be the total consideration set forth in
the table above (Total Consideration). The Total Consideration
includes the early tender premium for the Securities also set forth
in the table above (Early Tender Premium). Holders must validly
tender and not subsequently validly withdraw their Securities at or
prior to the Early Tender Date in order to be eligible to receive
the Total Consideration for such Securities purchased in the Tender
Offer.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, each
holder who validly tenders and does not subsequently validly
withdraw their Securities at or prior to the Early Tender Date will
be entitled to receive the Total Consideration, plus accrued and
unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement
Date (as defined below). Holders who validly tender their
Securities after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the
Expiration Date will be entitled to receive the tender offer
consideration equal to the Total Consideration less the Early
Tender Premium (Tender Offer Consideration), plus accrued and
unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement
Date, if and when such Securities are accepted for payment.
Dynegy reserves the right but is under no obligation, at any
point following the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration
Date, to accept for purchase any Securities validly tendered at or
prior to the Early Tender Date (Early Settlement Date), subject to
the Tender Cap Amount. The Early Settlement Date will be determined
at our option and is currently expected to occur on the business
day following the Early Tender Date. Irrespective of whether we
choose to exercise our option to have an Early Settlement Date, we
will purchase any remaining Securities that have been validly
tendered by the Expiration Date and that we choose to accept for
purchase, subject to the Tender Cap Amount, on a date promptly
following the Expiration Date (Final Settlement Date and, each of
the Early Settlement Date and Final Settlement Date, a Settlement
Date). The Final Settlement Date is expected to occur on the
business day following the Expiration Date.
If the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered
in the Tender Offer exceeds the Tender Cap Amount, we will accept
such Securities on a pro rata basis. Dynegy reserves the right to
increase or decrease the Tender Cap Amount, at any time, subject to
compliance with applicable law without extending withdrawal
rights.
Securities tendered may be withdrawn from the Tender Offer at or
prior to, but not after, 5:00 pm, New York City time, on August 18,
2017, unless extended, by following the procedures described in the
Offer to Purchase.
The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of
Securities being validly tendered. Our obligation to accept for
payment and to pay for the Securities in the Tender Offer is
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as
described in the Offer to Purchase, including the consummation of a
concurrent notes offering on terms satisfactory to Dynegy
(Financing Transaction). We reserve the right, subject to
applicable law, to waive any one or more of the conditions with
respect to the Tender Offer at any time.
We have issued a conditional notice of redemption to redeem $1.2
billion of the Securities, less the aggregate principal amount of
Securities purchased by us in the Tender Offer, conditioned upon
the completion of the Financing Transaction. The redemption is
expected to occur on September 6, 2017. The Securities are
currently redeemable at a price of 103.375% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. This
news release does not constitute a notice of redemption of the
Securities.
We have engaged Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to act as the Dealer
Manager and D.F. King & Co., Inc. to act as both the
Information Agent and the Tender Agent in connection with the
Tender Offer. Questions regarding the Tender Offer may be directed
to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC at 800.828.3182 (toll free) or

terms of the Offer to Purchase. None of Dynegy, our board of
directors, the Dealer Manager, the Tender Agent, or the Information
