This Amendment No. 2 (the "Final Amendment") amends and supplements the
Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 13E-4, as amended (the "Statement"),
dated August 29, 1997, filed by IPALCO Enterprises, Inc., an Indiana corporation
("IPALCO"), relating to its offer to purchase any and all outstanding Shares of
Cumulative Preferred Stock of Indianapolis Power & Light Company, an Indiana
corporation and direct subsidiary of IPALCO ("IPL"), upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Proxy Statement, dated
August 29, 1997, and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Proxy (which
together constitutes the "Offer"), copies of which are attached as Exhibit
99.(a)(1) and 99.(a)(2) to the Statement.
Only those items of the Statement that are amended and supplemented
hereby are included herein. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized
terms shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Statement.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Item 1 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
thereto the following:
The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 8, 1997
in accordance with its terms. On October 17, 1997, IPALCO purchased the Shares
validly tendered pursuant to the Offer by depositing the aggregate purchase
price therefor with the Depositary. The Shares so purchased, and purchase price
therefor, for each Series of Preferred are as follows:
Number of
Series of Preferred Shares Purchased Purchase Price
- ------------------- ---------------- --------------
Cumulative Preferred Stock:
- 4% Series 52,389 $3,739,526.82
- 4.20% Series 19,669 $1,528,674.68
- 4.60% Series 27,519 $2,342,417.28
- 4.80% Series 27,870 $2,475,413.40
- 6% Series 59,200 $6,097,600.00
- 8.20% Series 65,828 $6,714,456.00
Item 2. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
thereto the following:
The total amount required by IPALCO to purchase the Shares pursuant to
the Offer was $22,898,088.18, excluding fees and other expenses. The source of
such amount was borrowings under an existing $401 Million Revolving Credit
Facility (the "Revolver") with a syndicate of banks, led by Bank One, Indiana,
N.A. The Revolver matures on March 31, 2002. Interest is payable monthly and is
based on a spread over LIBOR. In conjunction with the Revolver, IPALCO entered
into an interest rate swap agreement which fixed the interest rate on $300
million of the Revolver. Pursuant to the swap agreement, which matures April 1,
2001, IPALCO will pay interest at a fixed rate of 6.3575% to a swap counter
party and will receive a variable rate of interest in return based on the one
month LIBOR. The result is to effectively establish an approximate interest rate
of 6.7% on $300 million of the Revolver. IPALCO's borrowings under the Revolver
will be repaid through a dividend from IPL, which expects to derive its funds
from internally generated funds, the liquidation of temporary investments and
the issuance of short-term debt.
Item 3. Purpose of the Tender Offer and Plans or Proposals of the Issuer or
Affiliate.
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
thereto the following:
IPALCO and IPL anticipate that the Shares purchased by IPALCO pursuant
to the Offer will be transferred for value to IPL and will be deemed authorized
but unissued shares.
In addition, pursuant to Article 6A, Section 4(c) of IPL's Articles, it
is the current intention of IPL to redeem all the remaining outstanding Shares
of the 6% Series and the 8.20% Series at a redemption price per share of $102.00
and $101.00, respectively.
Item 9. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

IPL'S ARTICLES AMENDMENT ADOPTED;
IPALCO TENDER OFFER FOR IPL PREFERRED STOCK IS SUCCESSFUL
INDIANAPOLIS, October 9, 1997 - An amendment to the articles of incorporation of
Indianapolis Power & Light Company ("IPL") was adopted today at a special
meeting of shareholders. The amendment removes a provision of the articles that
limits IPL's ability to issue unsecured debt, including short-term debt.
IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:IPL) ("IPALCO"), the parent holding company and
sole holder of common stock of IPL, voted all of its shares in favor of the
amendment and the holders of preferred stock approved the amendment by the
required two-thirds vote by casting at least 77% in favor of the amendment.
Concurrently with the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting, IPALCO
commenced an offer to purchase for cash the outstanding shares of preferred
stock of IPL. The tender offer, which expired yesterday at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, was conditioned upon, among other things, the proposed amendment
being approved and adopted at the special meeting. Preliminary results indicate
that approximately 46% of the 518,985 outstanding shares of preferred stock were
tendered.
Indianapolis Power & Light Company is a subsidiary of IPALCO Enterprises, Inc.,
a multi-state energy company providing a variety of energy products and
services. IPL provides retail electric service to approximately 415,000
residential, commercial and industrial customers in Indianapolis and portions of
other Central Indiana counties.
