ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
REGULATORY APPROVALS - On March 12, 1997 formal settlement discussions with the
Staff (Staff) of the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) regarding approval
of the proposed merger between Portland General Corporation (PGC) and Enron
Corp (Enron) ended without settlement. The Staff will prepare its final report
which will be presented to the OPUC. The companies will evaluate the need for a
public hearing on factual issues, if any, that may be contained within the
Staff's final report. A final decision from the OPUC is not expected until mid
1997.
The merger was recently approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The
merger has also received approval from both companies' boards of directors,
shareholders and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The OPUC is the
only remaining approval necessary to complete the merger.
For further background information regarding the proposed merger see the PGE
and PGC report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
