Item 5. Other Events
- --------------------
On June 17, 1996, Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E") filed an
Application with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ("OCC") seeking to reduce
its rates and charges for retail electric service to Oklahoma customers in the
amount of $14.2 million per year.
On Monday, October 14, 1996, the staff of the OCC recommended that OG&E
lower its annual revenues by $94.5 million. In a separate recommendation, the
Oklahoma Attorney General proposed a $79.8 million annual OG&E rate reduction.
The Company is reviewing these filings to determine how those numbers were
derived. A hearing on the merits of the case has been scheduled to begin on
November 22. The Company will continue to try to settle this case on reasonable
terms. However, the Company cannot predict what action the OCC will take on this
matter.
