PROXY STATEMENT
----------------
GENERAL INFORMATION
The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors
of Dynegy Inc. for use at the special meeting of shareholders to be held on
Friday, January 12, 2001 at 10:00 a.m., local time, at Dynegy's Headquarters,
The Wells Fargo Bank Building, 1000 Louisiana, 71st Floor, Houston, Texas
77002, or at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, for the purpose of
amending Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock as further
described below. This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Special Meeting and the
accompanying proxy card will be first sent or given to Dynegy's shareholders on
or about November [ ], 2000.
All share numbers presented in this Proxy Statement have been adjusted to
reflect the two for one stock split of Dynegy's common stock effected by means
of a stock dividend that was distributed on August 22, 2000.
Quorum and Vote Required
The presence of the votes of a majority of the shares of Dynegy's Class A
common stock, no par value per share, and Class B common stock, no par value
per share, counted together, represented in person or by proxy at the special
meeting and entitled to vote on the proposed amendment, will constitute a
quorum for consideration of the proposed amendment at the special meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted in determining the number of
shares present at the special meeting. A "broker non-vote" occurs if a broker
or other nominee who holds shares in a "street" name for customers who are
beneficial owners of those shares does not have discretionary authority and has
not received instructions with respect to a particular item from the customer.
The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of (i) each of
the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, voting as separate
classes, and (ii) the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, voting
together as a single class, will be necessary to approve the proposed amendment
to Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation. Shares not represented at the special
meeting, shares represented at the special meeting that abstain from voting and
broker non-votes will have the effect of votes against the proposed amendment.
No Appraisal Rights
Under applicable Illinois law, none of the holders of Class A common stock
or Class B common stock have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal
to be acted upon at the special meeting.
Record Date and Outstanding Shares
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on November 20, 2000
as the record date for determining holders of outstanding shares of Class A
common stock and Class B common stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the
special meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. As of the
record date, there were outstanding [ ] shares of Class A common stock and
85,330,544 shares of Class B common stock. Under Dynegy's Articles of
Incorporation, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are
entitled to one vote for each share held. Class A common stock and Class B
common stock are the only classes of outstanding securities of Dynegy entitled
to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. A complete list of the
shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting will be subject to
inspection by any
<PAGE>
shareholder at Dynegy's principal executive office, during usual business
hours, for a period of ten days prior to the special meeting.
Solicitation of Proxies
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Dynegy. Proxies may be
solicited by mail, telecopy, telegraph or telex, or by directors, officers or
regular employees of Dynegy, in person or by telephone. Such persons will not
receive any additional compensation for any such solicitation activities.
Dynegy has retained ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. to assist in the
solicitation of proxies for a fee of $8,500. Dynegy will reimburse brokerage
houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-
of-pocket expenses for forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial
owners of common stock.
Questions concerning the proposal to be acted upon at the special meeting
should be directed to Dynegy's Secretary at (713) 507-6400. Additional copies
of this Proxy Statement or the proxy card may be obtained from Dynegy's
Secretary at Dynegy's principal executive office. The mailing address of
Dynegy's principal executive office is 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800, Houston,
Texas 77002.
Revocation of Proxies
Your proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the voting of the proxy by
(i) timely delivery of a revised proxy (including an Internet or telephone
vote), (ii) written notice to the Secretary of Dynegy, or (iii) voting in
person at the special meeting. In the absence of such revocation, shares
represented by proxies will be voted at the special meeting.
Voting by Telephone or Internet
Shareholders of record can simplify their voting and reduce Dynegy's cost by
voting their shares via telephone or the Internet. The telephone and Internet
voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, allow
shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have
been properly recorded. If a shareholder's shares are held in the name of a
bank or broker, the availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend
upon the voting processes of the bank or broker. Accordingly, shareholders
should follow the voting instructions on the form they receive from their bank
or broker.
Shareholders who elect to vote via the Internet may incur telecommunication
and Internet access charges and other costs for which they are solely
responsible. The Internet and telephone voting facilities for shareholders of
record will close at 4 p.m. E.D.T. on the evening before the special meeting.
Voting by Mail
Shareholders who elect to vote by mail are asked to date, sign and return
the enclosed proxy card using the postage paid envelope provided. The persons
named as proxies on the proxy card were designated by the Board of Directors.
Any proxy given pursuant to such solicitation and received prior to the special
meeting will be voted as specified in such proxy. Unless otherwise instructed
or unless authority to vote is withheld, proxies will be voted FOR the proposed
amendment to Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation.

PROPOSAL 1
APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
After effecting a two-for-one stock split by means of a stock dividend
completed on August 22, 2000 and issuing 10,000,000 shares of Class A common
stock on October 6, 2000 to satisfy the demand caused by Dynegy's inclusion in
the S&P 500, Dynegy has what the Board of Directors considers to be an
insufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock available
for future issuance. Consequently, the Board of Directors has determined that
it is in the best interests of Dynegy and its shareholders to amend Dynegy's
Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of (i)
Class A common stock from 300,000,000 to 900,000,000 and (ii) Class B common
stock from 120,000,000 to 360,000,000. The Board of Directors has unanimously
approved the proposed amendment to Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation, in the
form attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A, and hereby solicits the
approval of Dynegy's shareholders of the proposed amendment. If the
shareholders approve the proposed amendment, the Board of Directors intends to
effect the filing of Articles of Amendment reflecting the amendment with the
Secretary of State of the State of Illinois as soon as practicable following
the special meeting. If the proposed amendment is not approved by the
shareholders, Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation will continue in effect
without the proposed amendment.
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of Dynegy
and its shareholders to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares
of Class A common stock and Class B common stock in order to have additional
shares available to meet Dynegy's future business needs as they arise. As of
October 31, 2000, 237,545,668 shares of Class A common stock and 85,330,544
shares of Class B common stock were issued and outstanding. In addition, Dynegy
has reserved up to approximately 56,300,000 shares of Class A common stock for
issuance pursuant to Dynegy's equity compensation plans and the Class B common
stock conversion right. Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation also authorize the
issuance of 70,000,000 shares of preferred stock in such series as may be
designated by the Board of Directors, none of which were outstanding as of the
date of this Proxy Statement.
Among other things, if approved, the proposed increase will make shares of
common stock available for future activities that are consistent with Dynegy's
business strategy, including, without limitation, the following:
. the effectuation of stock splits, dividends or distributions,
. the completion of equity financings,
. the establishment of strategic relationships with corporate partners,
. the acquisition of or investment in complementary businesses or products,
. the continued provision of equity incentives to employees, officers and
directors under Dynegy's equity compensation plans, and
. the conversion of Dynegy's convertible securities.
Dynegy currently has no immediate plans to issue any of the additional
authorized shares of common stock. However, depending upon its need for
additional equity and its view of the capital markets, Dynegy may issue some
portion of the additional authorized shares of common stock. Furthermore, in
accordance with its business strategy, Dynegy may make future acquisitions and
may use its common stock as currency in such acquisitions if appropriate
opportunities arise.
Possible Effects of the Proposed Increase in Authorized Common Stock
If the shareholders approve the proposed increase in authorized common
stock, the Board of Directors may cause the issuance of the additional shares
of common stock without further vote of Dynegy shareholders, except as provided
under Illinois law, the rules of any national securities exchange on which the
shares of Class
5
<PAGE>
A common stock or Class B common stock may at such time be listed or any other
applicable laws, rules or regulations. The additional shares of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock for which authorization is sought would be
identical to the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock now
authorized. Holders of Class A common stock do not have preemptive or similar
rights, which means that current holders of Class A common stock do not have a
prior right to purchase any new issue of Class A common stock to maintain their
respective percentage ownership thereof. The issuance of additional shares of
Class A common stock would decrease the proportionate ownership interest of the
current holders of Class A common stock and, depending upon the price paid for
such additional shares, could result in dilution to such shareholders. Chevron
USA, which holds the Class B common stock, does have preemptive rights pursuant
to a shareholder agreement with Dynegy granting it the right to subscribe for
additional equity securities that may be issued by Dynegy, but only to the
extent necessary to maintain its current percentage ownership interest in
Dynegy.
The additional shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock for
which authorization is sought would be available for issuance by Dynegy by
action of the Board of Directors and could be used for purposes that might be
deemed to be in defense of a potential takeover threat. Such shares could be
sold to purchasers who might side with the Board of Directors in opposing a
takeover bid that the Board of Directors determines not to be in the best
interests of Dynegy and its shareholders. The issuance of new shares could
discourage persons seeking to gain control of Dynegy in other ways as well. If
a person or entity sought to take over Dynegy by acquiring a substantial number
of shares of Dynegy's common stock, which acquisition was undertaken with a
view to effecting a merger, sale of all or any part of Dynegy's assets or a
similar transaction, the issuance of new shares could be used to dilute the
stock ownership of such person or entity. Such an issuance could be effected
even if the proposed acquisition was at a substantial market premium and
favored by a majority of independent shareholders.
Although Dynegy has no current plans to issue any of the additional
authorized shares of common stock for such purposes, if the proposed amendment
is approved by the shareholders, more Dynegy common stock will be available for
such purposes than is currently available. However, the proposed amendment is
not part of a plan by management to adopt a series of anti-takeover measures
and management does not presently intend to propose any such measures in future
proxy solicitations.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
The affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of (i) each of the Class A
common stock and the Class B common stock, voting as separate classes, and (ii)
the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, voting together as a
single class, is required to approve the proposed amendment to increase the
number of authorized shares of common stock. The Board of Directors believes
that the proposed amendment to increase the number of authorized shares is in
the best interests of Dynegy and its shareholders and recommends that
shareholders vote FOR the proposed amendment.
