Duke Affiliate Settles Charges of False Reporting

LCG, Sept. 17, 2003--Duke Energy Trading & Marketing, an affiliate of Duke Energy Corp., was issued an order by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to pay $28 million, based on the agency's findings that the affiliate had knowingly reported false trading information to publishers of natural gas transactions, charges that the company neither admitted nor denied.

The CFTC stated that price and volume information was falsified in cash-based transactions, some of which did not in fact take place. The regulatory agency also concluded that reporting by Duke Energy Trading & Marketing could have had an effect on prices of natural gas futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The time during which the reporting was to have taken place is January 2000 through August 2002, through the Houston office.

The $28 million consitutes a civil penalty, and is linked with a pledge by Duke of cooperation in further fact-finding by the CFTC.
