INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
On February 1, 2000, Illinova Corporation, an Illinois corporation
("Illinova"), and Dynegy Inc., a Delaware corporation (since renamed Dynegy
Holdings Inc.) ("Old Dynegy"), each merged with subsidiaries of Energy
Convergence Holding Company, an Illinois corporation (since renamed Dynegy Inc.)
("Dynegy") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 14,
1999, as amended, by and among Illinova, Old Dynegy, Energy Convergence
Acquisition Corporation, Dynegy Acquisition Corporation and Dynegy. Pursuant to
Section 12 g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Dynegy is the successor
to Old Dynegy. Old Dynegy common stock, par value $0.01 per share is no longer
transferable, and certificates evidencing shares of Old Dynegy common stock
represent only the right to receive, without interest, 0.69 shares of Dynegy
Class A common stock, no par value in accordance with the provisions of the
merger agreement. Illinova common stock, no par value, is no longer
transferable, and certificates evidencing shares of Illinova common stock
represent only the right to receive, without interest, one share of Dynegy Class
A common stock in accordance with the provisions of the merger agreement.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Dynegy assumed the stock option plans of Old
Dynegy and Illinova, and each unexpired and unexercised outstanding option to
purchase Old Dynegy common stock was automatically converted into an option to
purchase that number of shares of Dynegy Class A common stock obtained by
multiplying the number of shares of Old Dynegy common stock issuable upon
exercise of such option by 0.69 at an exercise price per share equal to the per
share exercise price of such Old Dynegy stock option divided by 0.69. Each
unexpired and unexercised outstanding option to purchase Illinova common stock
was automatically converted into an option to purchase the equivalent number of
shares of Dynegy Class A common stock at the same exercise price per share.
Dynegy hereby amends its registration statement on Form S-4 (File Number
333-84965) by filing this Post-effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-4 on this Form S-8 relating to up to 10,500,000 shares of
Dynegy Class A common stock, issuable under the Dynegy Employee Equity Option
Plan, the Dynegy Amended and Restated 1991 Stock Option Plan, and the Illinova
1992 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. All such shares of Dynegy Class A
common stock were previously registered on the Form S-4, and are being
transferred to this Form S-8.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-----------------------------------------
Illinois law permits corporations to adopt a provision in their charters
eliminating the liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders
for monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty of care.
Illinois corporations are not permitted to eliminate monetary liability
where such liability is based on:
(1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its shareholders;
(2) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(3) liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases or redemptions; or
(4) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Dynegy articles of incorporation also provide for broad mandatory
indemnification, generally extending to any person who is or was a director or
officer who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Such articles also eliminate
the liability of directors to the fullest extent permissible under Illinois law,
as such law exists currently or as it may be amended in the future. The Dynegy
bylaws provide that Dynegy may indemnify an employee or agent of the corporation
in a proceeding, including those by or in the right of the corporation, because
he or she is or was acting in the scope of his or her duties, in good faith, and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
corporation.
The merger agreement provides that Dynegy will indemnify the present and
former directors and officers of Old Dynegy, Illinova and their respective
subsidiaries and fiduciaries under their benefit plans against all losses,
damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), liabilities or amounts
paid in settlement arising out of actual or alleged actions or omissions
existing at or before the effective date of the merger. The indemnification will
be to the fullest extent permitted under Illinois law or Dynegy's articles of
incorporation and bylaws in effect on the date of such indemnification and Old
Dynegy's and Illinova's indemnification obligations in effect as of the date of
the merger agreement. Dynegy will also be obligated to advance expenses as
incurred to the fullest extent permitted by law. The determination of compliance
with the indemnification requirements will be made by independent counsel
mutually acceptable to Dynegy and the indemnified person.
For six years after the effective date of the merger, Dynegy will maintain
Illinova's and Old Dynegy's existing directors' and officers' liability
insurance policies covering the existing directors and officers to the extent
related to liabilities prior to the merger. The coverage will be at least as
favorable as the existing coverage, but Dynegy will not be required to spend
over 150% of the higher of the annual premium paid by Old Dynegy or Illinova for
its existing coverage.

Item 9. Undertakings.
------------
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.

<PAGE>
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
