Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

Mission Energy Holding Company’s subsidiary, Edison Mission Energy (“EME”), has entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2005, to sell its aggregate 80% interest in the Doga project (the “Doga Project”) to EME’s co-investor in the Doga Project, Doga Enerji Yatirim Isletme ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi, which will acquire an additional 30% interest in the Doga Project, and The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., which will acquire a 50% interest in the Doga Project. The Doga Project is a 180 megawatt gas-fired cogeneration plant near Istanbul, Turkey. The terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, including the purchase price, are based upon and are substantially similar to those established in the auction process conducted in 2004 to sell EME’s portfolio of international energy assets. Completion of the sale is subject to the satisfaction of a number of closing conditions, including obtaining the consent of a majority of the project’s lenders. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2005.
