01.Other Events

Item 8.01.Other Events As previously disclosed, between January 2021 and April 2021, four shareholders of American Electric Power Company, Inc. ("AEP") filed separate derivative actions purporting to assert claims on behalf of AEP against certain AEP officers and directors ("Derivative Actions") related to HB 6. Two of the Derivative Actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (the "Court"), one was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio, and one was filed in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, Nassau County. The Derivative Actions asserted claims for: (a) breach of fiduciary duty, (b) waste of corporate assets, (c) unjust enrichment, (d) breach of duty for insider trading and (e) contribution for alleged violations of sections 10(b) and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and sought monetary damages and changes to AEP's corporate governance and internal policies among other forms of relief. On June 9, 2021, the Court consolidated the federal court cases under the caption In re AEP Stockholder Derivative Litigation. In April 2023, AEP received a litigation demand letter from counsel representing the purported AEP shareholder who had filed the dismissed derivative action in New York state court and unsuccessfully tried to intervene in the consolidated derivative actions in Ohio federal court (the "Litigation Demand"). The Litigation Demand is directed to the AEP Board and contains factual allegations involving HB 6 that are generally consistent with those in the Derivative Actions. The Litigation Demand requested, among other things, that the AEP Board undertake an independent investigation into alleged legal violations by certain current and former directors and officers, and that AEP commence a civil action asserting claims similar to the claims asserted in the Derivative Actions. The AEP Board considered the Litigation Demand and formed a committee of the Board (the "Demand Review Commit
