Creating the Premier
Competitive Energy Company

Investor Presentation

December 19, 2005

 

Safe Harbor Language

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements include, for example,
statements regarding benefits of the proposed merger, the likelihood and timing of closing of the
proposed merger, integration plans, expected synergies, anticipated future financial and
operating performance and results, including estimates for growth. Any statements that express,
or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events
or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “will likely
result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “believe,” “could,” “estimated,” “may,”
“plan,” “potential,” “projection,” “target,” “outlook”) are not statements of historical facts and may
be forward-looking. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and
uncertainties include, for example, the ability to obtain governmental approvals of the transaction
on the proposed terms and schedule; the failure of FPL Group, Inc. (FPL Group) or Constellation
Energy Group, Inc. (Constellation Energy) stockholders to approve the transaction; the risk that
the businesses will not be integrated successfully or that anticipated synergies will not be
achieved or will take longer to achieve than expected; disruption from the transaction making it
more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees, suppliers or governmental
entities; unexpected transaction costs or liabilities; economic conditions; and other specific
factors discussed in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by both FPL
Group and Constellation Energy. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the merger,
will be more fully discussed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that will be included in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 that Constellation Energy will file with the SEC in connection
with the proposed merger.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation.  Neither Constellation
Energy nor FPL Group undertakes any obligation to publicly release any revision to its forward-
looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation.

 

Use Of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

It is important to recognize that in certain instances in this presentation we have adjusted
actual financial results, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), for certain items, including special items (which are defined as items not
related to the ongoing, underlying business or which distort comparability of results) and
certain economic, non-qualifying hedges.  We have also provided earnings estimates in
terms of adjusted earnings, excluding special items and certain economic, non-qualifying
hedges.  We believe that the resulting adjusted, non-GAAP information provides a picture
of results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items, the size
and nature of which can make period to period comparisons difficult and potentially
confusing.  However, investors should note that non-GAAP measures involve judgments by
management.  We note that such information is not in accordance with GAAP and should
not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP information.  A reconciliation of adjusted
information to GAAP is included either on the slide where the information is appears or in
the appendix to this presentation.   These slides are only intended to be reviewed in
conjunction with the oral presentation to which they relate.

 

Non-Solicitation

This communication is not a solicitation of a proxy from any security holder of FPL Group or Constellation Energy.  
Constellation Energy intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement that
will include a joint proxy statement/prospectus of Constellation Energy and FPL Group and other relevant
documents to be mailed to security holders in connection with the proposed transaction.  WE URGE INVESTORS  
TO READ THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS
WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
FPL GROUP, CONSTELLATION ENERGY, AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. A definitive proxy statement
will be sent to security holders of FPL Group and Constellation Energy seeking approval of the proposed
transaction. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain these materials (when they are available) and
other documents filed with the SEC free of charge at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.  In addition, a copy of the
joint proxy statement/prospectus (when it becomes available) may be obtained free of charge from Constellation
Energy, Shareholder Services, 750 E. Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD 21201, or from FPL Group, Shareholder
Services, P.O. Box 14000, 700 Universe Blvd., Juno Beach, Florida 33408-0420.

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall
there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made
except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

FPL Group, Constellation Energy, and their respective directors and executive officers of FPL Group and
Constellation Energy and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect
of the proposed transaction. Information regarding FPL Group’s directors and executive officers is available in its  
proxy statement filed with the SEC by FPL Group on April 5, 2005, and information regarding Constellation
Energy’s directors and executive officers is available in its proxy statement filed with the SEC by Constellation
Energy on April 13, 2005. Information regarding J. Brian Ferguson, a director of FPL Group elected since the the
date of the filing of the 2005 definitive proxy statement, can be found in the Company’s filing on Form 10-Q dated
August 4, 2005. Other information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their
direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be contained in the joint proxy
statement/prospectus and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC when they become available.

* We are unable to reconcile our estimated future adjusted earnings to GAAP earnings because we do not predict the future impact of special items and

economic, non-qualifying hedges due to the difficulty of doing so.  The impact of special items and economic, non-qualifying hedges could be material to our

operating results computed in accordance with GAAP.
