Item 5.05  Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

 

On June 24, 2010, the Board of Directors of Edison Mission Energy (the “Company”) adopted a revised Ethics and Compliance Code (the “Code of Ethics”) that amended, restated, and replaced the prior Ethics and Compliance Code of the Company.  The Code revisions clarified the application of affiliate rules and other rules related to political contributions, gifts, and lobbying activities, insider trading, and intellectual property; emphasized management responsibilities and the companies’ concern for the environment; provided additional illustrative examples; and included technical, administrative or other non-substantive changes.

 

The amendment of the Code of Ethics did not relate to or result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Code of Ethics.

 

The Code of Ethics has been posted on the “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance” page of the website maintained by the Company’s ultimate parent, Edison International, at www.edison.com.
