CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) announced today that it has successfully remarketed its 2.5 percent Junior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the “Original Notes”), which were originally issued on June 17, 2014, as a component of Exelon’s Equity Units.

The Original Notes are being remarketed into $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.497 percent Junior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “Remarketed Notes”). Effective April 3, 2017, the Remarketed Notes will bear interest at 3.497 percent per year and will mature on June 1, 2022. The remarketing is expected to close on April 3, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.
