FIDELITY TRUST II
(Name of foreign utility company)
FIDELITY TRUST II
(Name of filing company)
ITEM 1
------
Foreign utility status is claimed by Fidelity Trust II, a Delaware
business trust to be established on or before December 31, 2000 pursuant to a
trust agreement (the "Trust Agreement") between Wilmington Trust Company, a
Delaware banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as a
trustee (the "Trustee"), and First Fidelity International Bank, an Edge Act
corporation.
Fidelity Trust II is to be the lessee (pursuant to a head lease) and
lessor (pursuant to a lease) of electricity transmission and distribution assets
located in the Province of Upper Austria, Austria (such assets, collectively,
the "System"). The System is located in the service area of Energie
Oberosterreich AG ("Energie AG"), in the sub-system territory of Ost and is
comprised of: 10 / 30 kV high voltage (HV) substations, 110/30/10
<PAGE>
kV HV substations and a 110 kV HV switchyard. The foregoing HV substations and
switchyard are interconnected by approximately 89 km of 110 kV HV overhead
lines. These HV lines also provide connections to a non-Energie AG owned 110 kV
HV industrial substation that supplies power to an Energie AG large-scale
commercial customer. The remainder of the Energie AG HV substations are the
initiation points for the associated 30kV and 10 kV medium voltage (MV)
networks; the HV substations are interconnected to the MV substations via the
HV/MV transformers at the HV substations and the MV overhead or underground
cable network. The MV substations, in turn, supply the associated 0.4 kV
(nominal) low voltage (LV) network via the MV/LV transformers at the MV
substations and the LV overhead or underground cable network. The LV cable
network supplies power to the Energie AG residential/small scale commercial
customers at 230V and/or 400V (nominal) via three phase, LV customer
connections.
The business address of First Fidelity Trust II is:
