Common Shareholders

Why is my stock no longer listed on the NYSE?

In May 2007, Duquesne was acquired by a consortium of private equity investors. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the consortium acquired all outstanding shares of Duquesne Light Holdings for $20 per share in cash. Additionally, a partial dividend of $.2252745 per share was issued on June 8, 2007, to holders of record on May 30, 2007. These actions resulted in trading of Duquesne Light Holdings common stock on the New York Stock Exchange to end on May 31, 2007. Subsequently, the paying agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services (now EQ Shareowner Services), mailed checks for the merger consideration to the address of record of shareholders who held shares in the Duquesne Light dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, as well as to those who held shares electronically in book entry. Shareholders physically possessing common stock certificates were mailed instructions on how to exchange stock certificate(s) for the merger consideration.



Will I still receive dividends?

No. All common stock shares were bought out during the merger. Shareholders were paid cash for their shares, and were issued final dividends.



Does Duquesne Light still have a Shareholders Relations Department?

No. As a result of the merger being completed, the Duquesne Light Shareholder Relations Department was closed on Sept. 14, 2007. Please direct all future correspondence related to the purchase of Duquesne Light’s common stock to EQ Shareowner Services.
