Press release dated November 14, 2017 of Kentucky Utilities Company.




Statements in this report regarding future events and their timing, including the proposed transactions contemplated by the Company, as well as statements as to future costs or expenses, regulation, corporate strategy and performance, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations, assumptions and statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements.  The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: the progress or course of retirement; receipt of necessary government permits, approvals, rate relief and regulatory cost recovery; market demand and prices for electricity or gas; political, regulatory or economic conditions in states and regions where the Company conducts business; and new state or federal legislation, including new environmental legislation or regulation.  Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation's, LG&E and KU Energy LLC's and the Company's Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
