The following response was provided to an individual on or about July 20,

Institutional Shareholder Services is one of the most widely
followed independent organizations specializing in proxy analysis.
Institutional investors use ISS research as one of the factors in making their
decisions when voting on proxy proposals.
In making their recommendation on the Western Resources Kansas
City Power & Light merger, ISS used the proxy materials prepared by the
companies, independent analysis and discussion with company management from
Western Resources and Kansas City Power & Light.
