DYNEGY INC. (NYSE:DYN) Files An 8-K Bankruptcy or Receivership

Item1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On December9, 2016,Illinois Power Generating Company
(Genco or the Debtor) filed a voluntary
petition (the Bankruptcy Petition) for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the
Bankruptcy Code) (the Chapter 11 Case) in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Texas, Houston Division (the Court). The Debtor will
continue to operate its businesses as debtor-in-possession under
the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the
Court.

Genco has asked the Court for authority for standard and
customary first day relief to continue its operations in the
ordinary course during the restructuring process. Illinois Power
Marketing Company (including Homefield Energy) and Dynegy Energy
Services are not a part of the filing.

This Form8-K is not a solicitation to accept or reject the
proposed plan of reorganization referred to herein or an offer to
sell or a solicitation to buy any securities of Dynegy Inc.
(Dynegy) or the Debtor.

Item2.04 Triggering Events That
Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Case described in Item 1.03 above
constitutes or may constitute an event of default or otherwise
triggers or may trigger repayment obligations under the express
terms of certain instruments and agreements relating to direct
financial obligations of the Debtor or obligations under
off-balance sheet arrangements (the Debt Documents). As a result
of such an event of default or triggering event, all obligations
under the Debt Documents, by the terms of the Debt Documents,
have or may become due and payable, subject to the provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor believes that any efforts to
enforce such payment obligations against the Debtor under the
Debt Documents are stayed as a result of the filing of the
Chapter 11 Case in the Court. The material Debt Documents are the
Debtors outstanding 7.00% Senior Notes, SeriesH, due 2018, 6.30%
Senior Notes, SeriesI, due 2020 and 7.95% Senior Notes, SeriesF,
due 2032 (collectively, the Genco Notes), in the

under the Indenture dated as of November1, 2000, as supplemented

2003, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July7, 2008
