ITEM 1.   GENERAL INFORMATION

     Constellation Energy Corporation, formerly RH Acquisition
Corp. (the "Corporation") was organized on September 22, 1995 as
a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland.  The
Corporation was incorporated as a domestic corporation under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on December 15, 1995.  The
Corporation's fiscal year ends on the 31st day of December.

ITEM 2.   TRANSACTION OF SUCCESSION

     Potomac Electric Power Company, a District of Columbia and
Virginia corporation ("PEPCO"), and Baltimore Gas and Electric
Company, a Maryland corporation ("BGE"), are predecessors to the
Corporation, and each has securities registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act").  PEPCO and BGE will be merged (the "Merger")
with and into the Corporation pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated as of September 22, 1995, among the Corporation,
PEPCO and BGE (the "Merger Agreement").  At the effective time of
the Merger, the Corporation by operation of law will succeed to
all of the assets and liabilities of both PEPCO and BGE. 
Accordingly, the Corporation will become the obligor on all
outstanding debt securities of PEPCO and BGE, including the 5%
Convertible Debentures due 2002 and the 7% Convertible Debentures
due 2018 of PEPCO.

     At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share
of common stock, no par value, of BGE ("BGE Common Stock") (other
than shares owned by BGE, PEPCO or any of their subsidiaries,
which shall be cancelled and cease to exist) will be converted
into the right to receive one share of common stock, no par
value, of the Corporation ("Corporation Common Stock"), and each
outstanding share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
PEPCO ("PEPCO Common Stock") (other than (i) shares owned by BGE,
PEPCO or any of their subsidiaries, which shall be cancelled and
cease to exist and (ii) shares with respect to which appraisal
rights are properly exercised) will be converted into the right
to receive .997 of a share of Corporation Common Stock.  

     Additionally, at the effective time of the Merger, each
issued and outstanding share of a series of the preferred stock,
par value $50 per share, of PEPCO ("PEPCO Preferred Stock")
(other than (i) shares owned by BGE, PEPCO or any of their
subsidiaries, which shall be cancelled and cease to exist and
(ii) shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly
exercised), will be converted into the right to receive one share
of Corporation Class B preferred stock, par value $50 per share
("Corporation Class B Preferred Stock"), with equal stated value
and dividends and like redemption and other terms and conditions,
of the respective series specified below:
