Item 5. Other Events
On April 4, 2002, Xcel Energy Inc. and NRG Energy, Inc. announced that Xcel Energy has revised its exchange offer for all of the publicly held shares of NRG and that the NRG Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its Special Committee, is recommending that NRG’s stockholders tender their shares in the offer. Xcel Energy also announced that it has reached an agreement to settle stockholder class action suits related to the offer. For more information see the full press release included in this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.01.
The terms “intends,” “believe,” “plans” and similar terms identify forward-looking information. Although Xcel Energy believes its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include the satisfaction of all conditions to the exchange offer that cannot be waived and the satisfaction or waiver of conditions to the exchange offer that may be waived. Some of the conditions to the exchange offer include the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the tender by the public stockholders of a minimum number of their shares and the absence of an injunction or litigation concerning the exchange offer. In light of these uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the exchange offer will be completed.
