Kentucky Utilities Company

On March 18, 2019, Kentucky Utilities Company (“KU”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “KU Underwriting Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and MUFG Securities Americas Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters, relating to the offering and sale by KU of $300 million of 4.375% First Mortgage Bonds due 2045 (the “KU Bonds”). The KU Bonds are due October 1, 2045, subject to early redemption. KU intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the KU Bonds to repay short term debt, including commercial paper, and for other general corporate purposes.

KU expects to issue the KU Bonds on or about April 1, 2019. The KU Bonds will be part of the same series of bonds as the $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of KU’s 4.375% First Mortgage Bonds due 2045 originally issued by KU in 2015.

The KU Bonds were offered under KU’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration Statement No. 333-223142-01).

A copy of the KU Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1(b) to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Statements in this report and the accompanying press release, including statements with respect to future events and their timing, including the Companies' future rates, rate mechanisms or returns on equity ultimately authorized or achieved, as well as statements as to future costs or expenses, regulation, corporate strategy and performance, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although the Companies believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations, assumptions and statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: subsequent phases of rate relief and regulatory cost recovery; market demand and prices for electricity; political, regulatory or economic conditions in states and regions where the Companies conduct business; and the progress of actual construction, purchase or repair of assets or operations subject to tracker mechanisms. Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation's, LG&E and KU Energy LLC's and the Companies' Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
