State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

On November 7, 2011, Dynegy Inc. (“Dynegy”) and Dynegy Holdings, LLC (“DH”), Dynegy’s direct, wholly-owned subisidiary, announced that DH and four of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dynegy Northeast Generation, Inc., Hudson Power, L.L.C., Dynegy Danskammer, L.L.C. and Dynegy Roseton, L.L.C. (collectively, the “Debtor Entities”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Poughkeepsie Division (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).  Dynegy and its subsidiaries, other than the five Debtor Entities, did not file voluntary petitions for relief and are not debtors under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, consequently, will continue to operate their businesses in the ordinary course.

 

The Chapter 11 Cases require Dynegy to make extensive changes to the financial and other disclosures that would otherwise be included in its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011.  Dynegy was unable to complete these changes and file its Form 10-Q on or before November 9, 2011, without unreasonable effort or expense.
