POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT July 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018 The success of Exelon Corporation (“Exelon”) depends on sound public policies at the national, state and local levels. Issues vital to Exelon’s ability to recognize value for its stakeholders are debated and decided in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and local forums across the country. Federal and Pennsylvania law prohibit companies from making political contributions to Federal and Pennsylvania candidates. The laws of Illinois, Maryland and other states and some local governments limit the amount that Exelon and its affiliated companies can give to political candidates and PACs. Other states and local governments prohibit corporate contributions to election campaigns. Exelon engages in political activity in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Exelon Corporation, Atlantic City Electric Company, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, PECO Energy Company, and Potomac Electric Power Company have established political action committees that are funded solely through voluntary employee contributions: Exelon PAC, ACE PAC, BGE PAC, PECO PAC and Maryland Pepco PAC. Commonwealth Edison Company and Exelon Generation Company also have Illinois state political action committees which may be funded by both employee and corporate contributions (ComEd PAC and ExGen PAC). Exelon provides limited administrative support to all seven PACs. These PACs offer eligible employees a direct means to voluntarily participate in shaping public policy and expressing views on issues related to our business. The PACs operate in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Information about ExelonPAC is available on the website of the Federal Election Commission at www.fec.gov. In the interest of transparency for our shareholders and stakeholders, Exelon posts its Corporate Political Contributions Guidelines on its website. These guidelines are intended to provide corporate governance, control, oversight and procedural guidance for corporate contributions of money, property or services for political activities in Illinois, Maryland, New York and other states that allow corporate contributions to the political process and for political expenditures in areas where permitted. Exelon’s political contributions during the reporting period were all made in accordance with its Corporate Political Contributions Guidelines. This report includes a listing of Exelon’s political contributions for the above noted reporting period. This report also sets forth the trade associations and other similar non-profit organizations to which Exelon annually paid dues of $50,000 or more. Exelon has asked these organizations to identify the portion of those dues that were used for expenditures or contributions that are non-deductible under Section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. This report will be updated and reviewed by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Exelon Board of Directors semi-annually. 1 2018 Political Contributions Reporting Period: July 1 – December 31, 2018 During the reporting period of July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the entities listed below made the following contributions to political parties, political committees, candidates for political office, and other entities organized and operating under 26 U.S.C.
