DTE Energy and MCN Energy Continue Work with the Federal Trade Commission on Merger Review

      DETROIT — DTE Energy Co. (NYSE: DTE) and MCN Energy Group Inc. (NYSE: MCN) continue their discussions with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in connection with its review of the companies’ proposed merger announced in October 1999.

      The companies’ discussions with the FTC staff began last November as part of the agency’s review of the merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. To date, the FTC staff has focused primarily on possible competition between DTE and MCN for cogeneration load and other gas/electric displacement technologies in the companies’ coincident retail distribution areas. The companies are taking action to address these issues raised by the staff, including consideration of the potential sale of capacity on the MichCon system. Because of the length of the FTC review, it appears unlikely that the transaction can be completed before the fourth quarter of this year.

      DTE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Anthony F. Earley Jr., said: “The combination of these two companies will provide substantial benefits for our customers and our shareholders. While we are disappointed in the delay, we are committed to working with the FTC to address its concerns and will maintain the confidentiality of its investigation. I am optimistic that the FTC will successfully conclude its review, allowing the merger to be completed and the benefits to commence for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

      Integration planning remains on schedule and DTE Energy continues to do all it can to make the transaction accretive in 2001. However, if closing is delayed well into the fourth quarter, some merger-related expenses may be pushed into 2001.

      MCN Chairman and CEO, Alfred R. Glancy III said: “While the pending government approvals limit actual integration work, we continue to plan for the post-merger future and to build strong relationships between our diverse, yet complementary management teams. The team’s strong commitment to an aggressive integration schedule should position the new company to realize significant cost synergies following merger close.”

      DTE Energy is a Detroit-based diversified energy company involved in the development and management of energy-related businesses and services nationwide.
