On August 21, 2012, PPL Electric Utilities Corporation ("PPL Electric" or the "Company") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters (the "Underwriters"), relating to the offering and sale by PPL Electric of $250,000,000 of 2.50% First Mortgage Bonds due 2022 (the "Bonds").

The Bonds were issued on August 24, 2012, under PPL Electric's Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2001, to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as previously supplemented and as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 14 thereto (the "Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of August 1, 2012 (collectively, the "Indenture"). The Bonds will be secured by the lien of the Indenture, which creates a lien on substantially all of PPL Electric's distribution properties and certain of its transmission properties, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions, as described therein.

The Bonds are due September 1, 2022, subject to early redemption. PPL Electric will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to repay short-term indebtedness incurred to fund the Company’s redemption of its 6.25% Preference Stock on June 18, 2012 and for other general corporate purposes.

The Bonds were offered and sold under PPL Electric's Registration Statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-180410-03).

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1(a) to this report and incorporated herein by reference. The Supplemental Indenture and Officer's Certificate are filed with this report as Exhibits 4(a) and 4(b), respectively.
