DISPOSITION PLANT SEVERANCE

AEP intends to retire several generation plants or units of plants during 2015. The plant closures will result in involuntary severances. The severance program provides two weeks of base pay for every year of service along with other severance benefits.

The disposition plant severance activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is described in the following table:



	Disposition Plant Severance Activity
	(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2014	$	29
Incurred	—
Settled	(1		)
Adjustments	—
Balance as of March 31, 2015	$	28

We recorded a charge of $29 million to Other Operation expense in 2014 primarily related to employees at the disposition plants. These expenses, net of adjustments, relate primarily to severance benefits and are included primarily in Other Operation expense on the condensed statements of income. Of the cumulative expense, approximately 32% was within the Generation & Marketing segment and 68% was within the Vertically Integrated Utilities segment. The remaining liability is included in Other Current Liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. We do not expect additional severance costs to be incurred related to this initiative.
