Pursuant to Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), Illinova Corporation, (formerly know as IP Holding Company), an Illinois
corporation, as successor issuer to Illinois Power Company, an Illinois
corporation, hereby adopts this registration statement, as amended, for all
purposes under the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. See
"Description of the Transaction" herein.
<PAGE>
Description of the Transaction
------------------------------
This Amendment is being filed in connection with a corporate restructuring
of Illinois Power Company, an Illinois corporation ("Illinois Power"). The
objective of such restructuring is to have Illinois Power become a separate,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinova Corporation (formerly known as IP Holding
Company), an Illinois corporation ("Holding Company"), the new parent holding
company, with the present holders of the common stock of Illinois Power Company
becoming holders of the common stock of Holding Company.
On February 9, 1994, the shareholders of Illinois Power Company at a
special meeting approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 15,
1993 ("Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Illinois Power will
become a subsidiary of Holding Company through the merger of a newly formed
subsidiary of the Holding Company, IP Merging Corporation into Illinois Power.
In the merger, the holders of Illinois Power Common stock will become the
holders of Holding Company Common Stock and Holding Company will become the sole
holder of Illinois Power Common Stock. Accordingly, all shares of common stock
offered under the Illinois Power Company Incentive Savings Plan and Illinois
Power Company Incentive Savings Plan for Employees Covered Under a Collective
Bargaining Agreement (the "Savings Plans") will be shares of Holding Company
common stock, not shares of Illinois Power Company common stock. In approving
the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of Illinois Power ratified the amendment
of the Savings Plans by Holding Company.
Pursuant to Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), Holding Company, as successor issuer to Illinois Power under the Merger
Agreement, hereby expressly adopts, as of May 26, 1994, the Registration
Statement on Form S-8, as amended (Registration No. 33-60278), of Illinois Power
Company, which Registration Statement is applicable to shares of common stock
issuable under the Savings Plans, as the Registration Statement of Holding
Company for all purposes under the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.

shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed a
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) The Business Corporation Act of Illinois (Section 8.75) gives Illinois
corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and former directors and
officers and those of
S-1
<PAGE>
affiliated corporations against expenses incurred in the defense of any lawsuit
to which they are made parties by reason of being or having been such directors
or officers, subject to specified conditions and exclusions; gives a director or
officer who successfully defends an action the right to be so indemnified; and
authorizes the registrant to buy directors' and officers' liability insurance.
Such indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which those
indemnified may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation, the by-laws,
any agreement, any vote of stockholders or otherwise.
(b) Article VIII of the By-laws of the registrant provides, in substance,
that the registrant shall indemnify any person against expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, to which such person is made a party or threatened to be made a
party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employee or
agent of the registrant, or serving or having served at the request of the
registrant in one or more of the foregoing capacities with another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnification is
not exclusive of other rights and shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
his heirs, executors and administrators.
(c) The registrant maintains director and officer liability insurance
coverage for its directors and officers and those of its subsidiaries. This
coverage insures such persons against certain losses that may be incurred by
them in their respective capacities as directors, officers, employees or agents
with respect to which they are indemnified under the By-laws of the registrant
or otherwise. Premiums for the policy are paid by the registrant.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
(a) Exhibits: See "Exhibit Index"
b) The registrant undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the
plan or any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a
timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS in order
to qualify the plan under ERISA.
Item 9. Undertakings.
A. Rule 415 Offering.
-----------------
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 of 1933;
(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;
(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;
S-2
<PAGE>
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form
S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-
effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13
or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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. Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
H. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-----------------------------------------
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions of the registrant's certificate of
incorporation or by-laws or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
