RIDER TO PRICING SUPPLEMENT
In recent years the regulatory environment governing
the electric utility industry in the various states has been
undergoing substantial change. If the regulatory environment
changes in West Virginia in a manner which leads to a
restructuring of the utility industry in that state, the Company
might at some future time determine to transfer its generating
assets to a sister company, Allegheny Energy Supply. In that
case, the Company may be required to alter its capital structure.
Although the West Virginia Public Service Commission has been
considering the question of restructuring, and informal
negotiations have taken place among interested parties, no
agreements have been reached to date and it is unclear when, if
ever, such a restructuring might be implemented. In November
1999, in connection with implementation of the restructuring
mandated by the Pennsylvania Competition Act, the Company's
sister company, West Penn Power Company, completed transactions
in which all of West Penn's generating assets were transferred to
Allegheny Energy Supply.
