Upon closing, Ipalco will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AES with its headquarters remaining in Indianapolis.

As part of the SEC approval process, AES said it would restructure its ownership interests in Cilcorp in order to continue as an exempt holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.
