Item 5. Other Event

 

Enron Chapter 11 Plan

On September 18, 2003, Enron Corp. (Enron) and its debtor-in-possession subsidiaries (collectively with Enron, the Debtors) filed an Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Plan) and related disclosure statement (the Disclosure Statement) with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). The Plan and Disclosure Statement provide information about the assets that are in the bankruptcy estate and how the value of those assets will be distributed to the creditors.

Portland General Electric Company (PGE) is not one of the Debtors. However, the common stock of PGE held by Enron is part of the bankruptcy estate.

Enron is continuing the sale process for PGE. If PGE is not sold, under the Plan, the shares of PGE's common stock will be distributed over time to the Debtors' creditors.

The above description is a brief summary of information about PGE contained in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, both of which are available at Enron's website located at www.enron.com/corp/por, and the Bankruptcy Court's website located at www.nysb.uscourts.gov and at the website maintained at the direction of the Bankruptcy Court at www.elaw4enron.com.
