ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
A copy of a slide presentation that Reliant Resources, Inc. expects
will be presented to various members of the financial and investment community
from time to time is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1. A copy of the
slide presentation will also be available on our website,
www.reliantresources.com.
The slide presentation is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to
Regulation FD. Accordingly, the slide presentation will not be incorporated by
reference into any registration statement filed by Reliant Resources under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as
being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing of the slide
presentation is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or
admission by Reliant Resources that the information in the slide presentation is
material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before
making an investment decision with respect to any security of Reliant Resources
or any of its affiliates.
Some of the statements in the slide presentation are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Although Reliant Resources believes that the expectations and the
underlying assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be
correct. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties,
and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements.
In addition to the matters described in the slide presentation, the
following are some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in Reliant Resources' forward-looking
statements:
o state, federal and international legislative and regulatory
developments, including deregulation, re-regulation and restructuring
of the electric utility industry, changes in, or application of
environmental and other laws and regulations to which Reliant
Resources is subject, and changes in or application of laws or
regulations applicable to other aspects of Reliant Resources'
business, such as commodities trading and hedging activities,
o the timing of the separation of Reliant Resources from its parent
company, Reliant Energy, Incorporated, which currently remains subject
to certain regulatory and corporate approvals,
o the effects of competition, including the extent and timing of the
entry of additional competitors in Reliant Resources' markets,
2
o liquidity concerns in Reliant Resources' markets,
o the degree to which Reliant Resources successfully integrates the
operations and assets of Orion Power Holdings, Inc. into its Wholesale
Energy segment,
o the successful and timely completion of Reliant Resources'
construction projects, as well as the successful start-up of completed
projects,
o Reliant Resources' pursuit of potential business strategies, including
acquisitions or dispositions of assets or the development of
additional power generation facilities,
o the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices and interest
rates,
o the availability of adequate supplies of fuel, water, and associated
transportation necessary to operate Reliant Resources' generation
portfolio,
o weather variations and other natural phenomena, which can affect the
demand for power from Reliant Resources' generating facilities or
Reliant Resources' ability to produce power at such facilities,
o financial market conditions, Reliant Resources' access to capital and
the results of Reliant Resources' financing efforts, including
availability of funds in the debt capital markets for merchant
generation companies,
o the creditworthiness or bankruptcy or other financial distress of
Reliant Resources' counterparties,
o actions by rating agencies with respect to Reliant Resources or its
competitors,
o acts of terrorism or war,
o the availability and price of insurance,
o the reliability of the systems, procedures and other infrastructure
necessary to operate Reliant Resources' retail electric business,
including the systems owned and operated by the independent system
operator in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas,
o the successful operation of deregulating power markets,
o the resolution of the refusal by certain California market
participants to pay Reliant Resources' receivables balances, and
