Southern Outlines Plans for Mirant Spin-off

LCG, Feb. 20, 2001The Southern Co. board of directors yesterday approved the spin-off of subsidiary Mirant Corp., which was formerly called Southern Energy. The unit is Southern's "global independent power producer."

Last September, close to 20 percent of Mirant was sold in an initial public offering and the balance will be spun off to Southern shareholders. Depending on approval from the Internal Revenue Service, the distribution will be made on April 2.

A. W. Dahlberg, Southern's chairman and chief executive, said "With the planned spin-off, we're delivering that value to our shareholders. We're also creating two great companies from one. I believe each has an outstanding future."

Each Southern Co. shareholder will get about 0.4 shares of Mirant for each Southern share they own. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares and will be taxable, the company said.
