On July 14, 2008, Great Plains Energy Incorporated (“Great Plains Energy”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (registration no. 333-152314), registering 1,000,000 shares of Great Plains Energy common stock for issuance under the Aquila, Inc. Retirement Investment Plan (subsequently renamed as the KCP&L Greater Missouri

Effective July 1, 2009, the GMO Plan merged into the Great Plains Energy Incorporated 401(k) Savings Plan (formerly known as the Great Plains Energy Incorporated Cash or Deferred Arrangement (“Employee Savings Plus”)), with the latter Plan surviving.

Statement which remained unissued as of July 1, 2009.
