~~Homer~~Item City, General Electric Capital Corporation (itself, or its affiliates, “GE”), one of the investors in the owner lessors at the Homer City plant (which consists of three generating units), and certain of the holders (the “Restricted Holders”) of the 8.137% Senior Secured Bonds due 2019 and the 8.734% Senior Secured Bonds due 2026 (together, the “Bonds”), each issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of December 7, 2001 (the “Fundco Indenture”), among Homer City Funding LLC (“Fundco”) and The Bank of New York, as successor trustee, have been engaged in discussions regarding the need to install certain emissions control equipment for units 1 ~~and 2 of the Homer City plant (the “Project”)~~. In01 ~~connection~~Entry ~~with~~into these discussions, certain information regarding Homer City and related matters was provided to the Restricted Holders and/or GE. Pursuant to confidentiality arrangements with the Restricted Holders and GE, Homer City agreed to publicly disclose certain information in accordance with those arrangements. As a ~~result,~~Material ~~Homer~~Definitive City is providing the information set out in this Item 7.01 and filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3. The summary of each of the exhibits described herein is qualified in its entirety by the contents of such exhibits.Agreement

As ~~further~~disclosed ~~described~~ in Homer City’s ~~Form 8-K~~quarterly ~~filed~~report on ~~April~~Form 3,10-Q ~~2012,~~for ~~on March 29, 2012, Homer City and~~ the GEfirst ~~entered~~quarter ~~into~~of ~~the Implementation Agreement~~2012, ~~which~~EME isHomer ~~attached~~City asGeneration ~~Exhibit 10~~L.1P. to (“Homer City’s”) ~~Quarterly~~and ~~Report~~General onElectric ~~Form 10-Q~~Capital ~~for~~Corporation ~~the~~(“GECC”) ~~quarterly~~entered ~~period~~into ~~ended~~an Implementation Agreement on March 3129, 2012, ~~which required~~ (the GE“Implementation ~~Contract~~Agreement”) ~~Obligor~~with respect to, ~~among~~the ~~other~~Homer ~~things,~~City ~~execute~~plant. ~~the~~The ~~EPC~~Implementation Agreement ~~within~~required 20Homer ~~days~~City, ~~thereof~~among ~~and~~other ~~assume certain construction agreements and purchase orders ancillary to the Project~~things, ~~subject~~ to ~~obtaining~~enter ~~certain~~into ~~applicable~~one ~~consents.

InOn ~~conjunction with those discussions, on April~~September 221, 2012, aHomer ~~wholly~~City, ~~owned~~as ~~subsidiary~~assignor, ofand GEHomer ~~(the~~City ~~“GE~~Generation, ~~Contract~~L.P., ~~Obligor”)~~an ~~and~~affiliate ~~Kiewit~~of ~~Power~~GECC, ~~Constructors~~as ~~Co.~~assignee ~~executed~~(“Assignee”) anentered ~~engineering,~~into ~~procurement,~~a ~~and~~Master ~~construction~~Transaction ~~agreement~~Agreement (the “~~EPC Agreement~~MTA”) tofor ~~facilitate construction of~~ the ~~Project. As~~divestiture ~~described~~by in Homer City’s ~~Form 8-K filed on February 29, 2012, the estimated cost~~ of ~~installing~~its ~~S02~~interest ~~and~~in ~~particulate emissions control equipment for Units 1 and 2 of~~ the Homer City plant ~~is expected to be approximately $700 million to $750 million~~. ~~The~~ GEUnder ~~Contract Obligor is anticipated to make regular payments under~~ the ~~EPC~~MTA, ~~Agreement~~Homer ~~and~~City ~~certain~~has ~~other~~agreed ~~construction agreements and purchase orders ancillary~~ to ~~the~~transfer ~~Project. As~~substantially ~~of May 1, 2012, payments made by the GE Contract Obligor under~~ all of ~~these~~its ~~agreements~~rights ~~amount~~in ~~to approximately $50 million,~~ and, ~~unless~~assets ~~these~~related ~~agreements are terminated, are anticipated~~ to ~~average approximately $30-$40 million per month during 2012. The GE Contract Obligor's financial commitments under these agreements to date amount to approximately $140 million (including~~ the ~~approximately~~Homer ~~$50~~City ~~million already paid)~~plant, and, ~~unless~~specified ~~these agreements are terminated~~liabilities, ~~are anticipated~~ to ~~total approximately $400 million by December 31, 2012 (which amount includes cancellation payments of approximately $30 million if the contract is terminated)~~Assignee.

2Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of closing conditions, including obtaining the consent of more than two-thirds of the bonds issued under the Indenture, dated as of December 7, 2001 (the “Indenture”), between Homer City Funding LLC (“Fundco”) and The Bank of New York, as successor trustee which consent may be provided through a plan of reorganization confirmed by any United States bankruptcy court.

GE and the Restricted Holders have had discussions about modifications to the Lessor Notes (as defined below) and Bonds to facilitate commencement and completion of the Project. As a result of those discussions, GE and the Restricted Holders have reached an agreement in principle on a non-binding restructuring term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), attached hereto as ExhibitSection ~~99.1. The~~2 ~~Term~~— ~~Sheet~~Financial provides for, among other things, the exchange of the Bonds for new notes (the “New Notes”), and the cancellation of the related lessor notes issued under those certain Indenture of Trust and Security Agreements, dated as of December 7, 2001 (the “Lease Indentures”), accomplished through a prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) in a bankruptcy case commenced by Fundco. The reorganized entity under the Plan would be merged with the owner lessors of the Homer City plant (the “Owner Lessors”) and any transferee of Homer City’s assets and liabilities pursuant to the Implementation Agreement (the surviving entity, the “Surviving Owner Lessor”). Upon completion of the restructuring, the Surviving Owner Lessor will be a majority-controlled indirect subsidiary of GE.Information

~~The~~Item definitive documentation of the New Notes would set forth the modifications described in the Term Sheet and be subject to the reasonable consent of the Restricted Holders and GE, with covenants to be mutually agreed upon by the parties thereto, which modifications include, among other things, the following: (i) at Fundco’s option, interest payments on the New Notes from and including October 1, 2012 to and including April 1, 2014 (the “PIK Period”) would be made on a payment-in-kind basis at 50 basis points above the existing cash interest rate, (ii) amortization payments would be suspended during the PIK Period, (iii) the New Notes would be voluntarily callable at any time by the Surviving Owner Lessor at 115% of par from August 2~~, 2012 through August 1, 2013, 107~~.5%06 ofImpairment par from August 2, 2013 through August 1, 2014, 103.5% of par from August 2, 2014 through August 1, 2015, and 100% of par thereafter, (iv) security for the New Notes would be supplemented and include, among things, (a) all assets owned by the Surviving Owner Lessor, (b) all rights available to the Surviving Owner Lessor (contractually or otherwise) that are necessary to operate the Homer City facility (in each case, subordinated only to the lien on inventory and accounts receivable securing a working capital facility, as further described below), and (c) all material contracts necessary to operate the Homer City facility or complete the Project, including, without limitation, the EPC Agreement, to the extent such contracts can be pledged as collateral, and, pursuant to any collateral assignment of the EPC Agreement, the indenture trustee under the New Notes will be entitled to perform thereunder in the event of continuing default by the GE Contract Obligor, which would permit the EPC Contractor to terminate the EPC Agreement, and (v) the Surviving Owner Lessor would be permitted to incur a working capital loan issued by GE or an affiliate in an amount not to exceed $75 million and secured by a first-priority lien on the Surviving Owner Lessor’s inventory and receivables. Additionally, a payment default under the EPC Agreement or delivery of a notice of termination of the EPC Agreement, in either case, at any time when less than $325 million has been paid by the GE Contract Obligor towards construction of the necessary emissions control equipment (including expenditures under contracts related to this project) will be an event of default under the indenture for the New Notes, except in certain circumstances where such termination is the result of a change in environmental laws and the Homer City plant is capable of being in material compliance with such laws while operating at a monthly average availability factor of 80%.Charges

3Homer City previously impaired the carrying value of the Homer City plant and disclosed that the remaining assets and specified liabilities were expected to be transferred to an affiliate of GECC upon the completion of an implementation transaction under the Implementation Agreement, which was expected to result in a further loss. As a result of the MTA, Homer City has concluded that the assets that are expected to be transferred pursuant to the MTA are required to be classified as assets held for sale at September 30, 2012. The assets that are classified as held for sale are required to be written down to fair value which is equal to the carrying value of the liabilities that Homer City will transfer to the Assignee. Accordingly, Homer City expects to record a charge of approximately $170 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012.

GEAs ~~and~~part ~~the~~of ~~Restricted Holders have determined to proceed to negotiate definitive documentation on~~ the ~~Term~~MTA, ~~Sheet. GE~~Homer ~~and~~City ~~the~~will ~~Restricted~~retain ~~Holders also discussed~~ the ~~terms~~post ofretirement aother ~~plan~~than ~~support~~pensions ~~agreement~~obligations (“~~PSA~~PBOP”), ~~but~~and ~~have~~pension ~~not~~obligations ~~reached~~and ~~agreement~~will ~~on all of the terms of the PSA. Although there can~~ be norequired ~~assurance as~~ to ~~whether~~contribute ~~negotiations~~approximately ~~regarding~~$32 ~~the~~million ~~PSA~~to ~~will~~voluntary ~~resume,~~employee ~~negotiations~~beneficiary ~~may~~association ~~resume~~trusts ~~at any time. The PSA under discussion was subject~~ to ~~(i) pursuit~~fund ~~of a transaction by GE (which may be through one of its affiliates) under~~ the ~~Implementation~~estimated ~~Agreement~~PBOP ~~no later than mid-August 2012 and (ii) execution by holders of two-thirds in outstanding principal amount of the Bonds~~liabilities. ~~The~~Termination ~~PSA~~benefits ~~would have provided~~ for, ~~among~~employees ~~other~~are ~~things,~~expected ~~(i) the prepetition solicitation of the Plan on or before August 17, 2012 and commencement by Fundco of a chapter 11 case on or before September 24, 2012, (ii) the Restricted Holders’ agreement~~ to (a) take all necessary actions to facilitate Fundco’s commencement of a chapter 11 case, (b) vote all claims against Fundco in favor of the Plan, and (c) forebear during the term of the PSA from exercising any rights or remedies against any of the Owner Lessors or Fundco with respect to any payment default under the Fundco Indenture or Lease Indentures, (iii) GE’s agreement to negotiate a transaction under the Implementation Agreement in good faith and, thereafter, use commercially reasonable efforts in furtherance of confirming the Plan, provided that it is understood that in no event shall GE (a) be ~~obligated~~pursuant to ~~enter~~existing into an asset purchase agreement or any other definitive documents or (b) have any liability to any party by failing to enter into an asset purchase agreement, notwithstanding its obligation to enter into such good faith negotiations, (iv) GE and the Restricted Holders’ respective right to terminate the PSA if certain Plan-related milestones failed to occur prior to the dates set forth in the agreement, with the Restricted Holders having a termination right in the event GE defaulted under the EPC Agreement and such default continued and would permit a termination of such agreement, and (v) an agreement to reimburse certain costs and expenses incurred by the Restricted Holdersplans.

In addition, in exchange for the Restricted Holders consenting to a change of control of the Homer City plant before the solicitation of the Plan, and certain conditions to GE’s performance under the PSA, the Restricted Holders requested, as a condition precedent to the PSA, the execution of supplemental indentures to the Lease Indentures and the Fundco Indenture, providing for (i) the deletion of any provisions that provide for the automatic acceleration of the Lessor Notes or Bonds, and (ii) the establishment of 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Lessor Notes or Bonds, as applicable, as the threshold required for any holder direction to accelerate the Lessor Notes or Bonds. GE and the Restricted Holders have been unable to reach agreement on the conditions to the PSA related to such supplemental indentures or the terms of such a consent to a change of control.3

Additionally, in connection with the negotiations described herein, updated liquidity forecasts prepared by Homer City were provided to the Restricted Holders on March 18, 2012. These liquidity forecasts are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto. Further, on Friday, April 27, 2012, Homer City provided the Restricted Holders with the flow of funds schedule that was provided to the trustee under the bonds. This schedule is attached as Exhibit 99.3 hereto.SIGNATURES

The forecasted financial information furnished as Exhibit 99.2 was prepared by Homer City based on information as of March 9, 2012. The information in Exhibit 99.2 is being provided solely to satisfy Homer City’s obligations under confidentiality arrangements with the Restricted Holders and GE and does not reflect the current liquidity position of Homer City which has continued to deteriorate since that date. Absent a working capital loan or other infusion of cash, Homer City is not expected to have sufficient cash flow to meet its operating expenses and other obligations either in the near term or during 2012, including the rent payment due on October 1, 2012. This may require Homer City to temporarily suspend plant operations until sufficient working capital is obtained. This Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.2 contain forward-looking statements based on information available at May 2, 2012 and March 9, 2012, respectively. These forward-looking statements are subject to a significant amount of uncertainty, in particular regarding the costs of purchasing and installing emissions control equipment, as well as power prices and revenues over the indicated time periods. Factors both within and outside the control of Homer City will affect the accuracy of this forward-looking information. Furthermore, the information is a high-level summary only and subject to assumptions, qualifications and performance criteria not otherwise described in the information presented.4
