Dennis W. Bakke, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In the last few weeks, the people of AES have explored all elements of our business and we have embarked on a number of initiatives and changes. Some of those initiatives, as well as some things we will not change, are as follows:
-- We will stick to our core electricity generation and distribution businesses
and take advantage of the global restructuring of the electric sector that
provides opportunities for growth;

-- We will remain focused as an operating company of electric businesses;

-- All AES groups and their businesses will focus on cost-reduction and revenue
enhancement opportunities; a company wide task force has been established to
coordinate actions taken and share ideas and analysis;

-- We are looking at divesting businesses where long term viability for AES is
poor;

-- We will explore new businesses with higher early year returns and less need
for corporate debt and equity; and

-- We will find new ways of explaining our business more clearly."
