The SPECIAL JANUARY 2019 GRAND JURY charges:

1. At times material to this indictment:

Commonwealth Edison Company and Affrliates

a. Commonwealth Edison Company ("ComEd"), with headquarters

Iocated in Chicago, delivered electricity to industrial, commercial and residential

customers across northern Illinois and was the Iargest utility company in the State.

b. As a utility, ComEd was subject to extensive regulation by the State

of Illinois. The State of Illinois regulated the rates that ComEd could charge its

customers, as weli as the rate of return ComEd could realize from its business operations.

c. ComEd maintained a summer internship program (the "ComEd

Internship Program") that provided paid internship positions to students. Based on

their performance during the internship, participating students could be considered for

subsequent summer internship positions or fuIl-time jobs within ComEd.

 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 2 of 50 PageID #:2

d. ComEd was a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of Exelon

Corporation ("Exelon"), a utility services holding company that provided energy to

customers in multiple states. ComEd and Exelon had a class of securities registered

pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 5 78a et seq.)

and were required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under

Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. ComEd and Exelon were therefore each an "issue/'
under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the "FCPA").

e. Exelon Business Services Company, LLC ("Exelon Business

Services") was a limited liability company organized under the iaws of the State of

Delaware. Exelon was the sole member of Exelon Business Services. Exelon
Business Services provided support functions for companies affiliated with Exelon such

as ComEd, including but not limited to contracting, accounting, and vendor payment

functions.

ComEd and Exelon's Internal Controls Program

f. Pursuant to the FCPA, issuers, such as ComEd and Exelon, were

required to maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide

reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions were executed in aecordance with

management's general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions were recorded as

necessary to (A) permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally

accepted accounting principles or any other criteria applicable to such statements, and

(B) maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets was perrnitted only in
 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 3 of 50 PageID #:3

accordance with management's general or specifrc atthorrzation; and (iv) the recorded

accountability for assets was compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals,

and appropriate action was taken with respect to any differences. The FCPA

prohibited anyperson from knowingly and wilIfully circumventing orfailingto implement

the required system of internal accounting controls or knowingly and willfully falsiSring

any book, record, or account that issuers were required to keep.

g. Exelon, together with ComEd and Exelon Business Services,

maintained a system of internai controls to detect and prevent improper payments,

including bribe payments. These controls included various policies, programs and

procedures designed to ensure that Exelon's books and records, and those of their

majority-owned subsidiaries including ComEd and Exelon Business Services, accurately

reflected transactions engaged in by the company. The controls were also designed to

detect unlawful payments, and included requiring multiple employees to be involved in

the approval of contracts that exceeded specified amounts and auditing to help ensure

accurate reporting of payments. Exelon maintained a corporate anti-bribery policy and

implemented a Code of Business Conduct, which governed the conduct of Exelon,

ComEd, and Exelon Business Services employees and agents, inciuding third-party

consultants.

h. From in or around 2006 through in or around 20l5,,the Code of

Business Conduct provided that "[m]anagement is accountable for establishing and

maintaining a system of internal controls within an organization," that management was

 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 4 of 50 PageID #:4

required to "ensure that there is clear, complete, fair, and accurate reporting of financial

and non-financial information pertaining to business transactions," and that management

was accountable to the Exelon board of directors for compliance. The Code of Business

Conduct further specified that employees were accountable for "recording all business

transactions, events and conditions accurately and completely," and were prohibited from

"falsifiring data, information or records with respect to the Company's flnances or

operations, including those related to, among other things: assets, liabilities, revenues,

expenses and earnings . . . ." and from "creating off-book accounts or funds or making any

other entry in any other record that intentionally misrepresents, conceals or disguises

the true nature of any transaction, event or condition . . . ." Senior offlcers of Exelon

were also required to ensure that internal controls around financial reporting were

properly designed and effective, and were further required to promptly report any

vioiations of these requirements. The Code of Business Conduct further provided that

the "FCPA also requires that publicly held companies, like Exelon, maintain accurate

books, records and accounts and devise a system ofinternai accounting controls sufficient

to provide reasonable assurance that, among other things, the Company's books and

records fairly and accurately reflect business activities and transactions."

i. In or around 2015, the Code of Business Conduct was revised, and

from in or around 2015 to in or around 2019 provided that "[b]usiness and financial records

are essential to our business operations. Exelon relies on the integrity and accuracy of

these records to make strategic decisions and has designed and implemented a series of
 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 5 of 50 PageID #:5

internal controls-organizational structures, processes, procedures, systems, etc.-to

effectively manage financial reporting." The Code of Business Conduct further

instructed employees to: "[n]ever keep off-the-book accounts or false or incomplete

records"; "[n]ever make an entry in any record that intentionally misrepresents, conceals

or disguises the true nature ofany transaction, event or condition"; "[r]ecord all business

transactions, events and conditions accurately, completely and in a timely fashion";

"[e]nsure that there is clear, complete fair and accurate reporting and supporting records

of financial information pertaining to business transactions"; "[n]ever mislead or

misinform anyone about our business operations or frnances"; "fi]mmediately report any

requests received to manipulate accounts, books and records, or financial reports, and

any suspected misconduct regarding accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters to

the Ethics and Compliance Office, Audit and Controls, or the Legal Department." The

Code of Business Conduct further emphasized under the heading "Fighting Bribery and

Corruption" that bribes and kickbacks of any kind violated the Code of Business Conduct

and were illegal, and that the FCPA "[r]equires that publicly held companies, Iike Exelon,

have accounting controls to assure that all transactions are recorded fairly and accurately

in our financial books and records." The Code of Business Conduct provided the

following examples of what was expected of employees and agents: (a) "[k]eep accurate

and complete records so ali payments are honestly detailed and company funds are not

used for unlawful purposes"; (b) "[c]onduct due diligence on all potential agents,

consultants or other business partners"; and (c) "[n]ever use a third party to make

5
 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 6 of 50 PageID #:6

payments or offers that could be improper." Exelon's Code of Business Conduct also

prohibited bribery and listed as an example of a prohibited bribe: "Providing something

of value for the benefit of a public official in a position to make a decision that could benefit

the company."

j. Exelon, together with ComEd and Exeion Business Services,

provided training on the Code of Business Conduct to employees in the form of training

guides.

k. Employees of Exelon and its subsidiaries, including ComEd and

Exelon Business Services, were required to annually certify adherence to Exelon's Code

of Business Conduct. Employees were also required to promptly report potential

violations of the Code of Business Conduct, including but not limited to "[a]ccounting

improprieties, internal accounting controls or auditing matters."

The Illinois General Assembly and

Legislation Affecting ComEd's Business

l. The State of Illinois annually received in excess of $10,000 in federal

benefits in each calendar year from 2011 through 2019.

m. The legislative branch of government for the State of Illinois was

commonly known as the Iltinois General Assembiy. The Illinois General Assembly was

composed of two houses: The House of Representatives and the Senate.

' ,. The Illinois General Assembly routinely considered bitis and passed

Iegislation that had an impact on ComEd's operations and profitability, including

 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 7 of 50 PageID #:7

Iegislation that affected the regulatory process used to determine the rates ComEd eould

charge customers for the delivery of electricity.

o. In 2011, the General Assembly passed the Energy Infrastructure

and Modernization Act ("EIMA"). EIMA provided for a regulatory process through

which ComEd was able to more retiably determine rates it could charge customers and,

in turn, determine how much money it was able to generate from its operations to cover,

among other things, costs for grid-infrastructure improvements. The passage of EIMA

therefore helped improve ComEd's financial stabiiity.

p. Following the passage of EIMA, the Illinois Commerce Commission

("ICC") interpreted the language of EIMA in a manner adverse to ComEd. In 2013, the

General Assembly passed legislation, known as Senate Bill 9, that effectively overruled

the ICC's adverse interpretation of EIMA.

q. On or about December 1, 2016, the General Assembly passed the

Future Energy Jobs Act ("FEJA"), which provided for a renewal of the regulatory

process that was beneficial to ComEd. After the passage of FEJA, ComEd maintained

a continuing interest in advancing legislation in the General Assembly favorable to its

interests, and opposing legisiation that was not consistent with its operational and

financial success.

The Thirteenth'Ward Democratic Organization

r. The City of Chicago was divided into fifty wards. Flach ward

publicly elected an individual, known as an Alderman, to represent the ward on the

Chieago City Council.

s. Each ward also publicly elected individuals for each respective

political party that were each known as a "Committeeman" or "Committeeperson." A

Committeeman had varying roles in each ward, that could include such tasks and duties

as addressing day-to-day grievances presented by ward residents; having a role in

endorsing candidates for office and deciding the composition of the "slate" of candidates

for their political party for office within Cook County; and having a role in deciding who

would be appointed to fiti any vacancies that arose with respect to certain public offices.

t. The Thirteenth Ward DemocraticOrganization was a political party

committee that maintained an offlce within Chicago's Thirteenth Ward at 6500 South

Pulaski Road, Chicago, Iliinois (the "Thirteenth Ward Office"). The purpose of the

Thirteenth Ward DemocraticOrganization was to, among other things, cultivate support

for political candidates and public officials who ran for and heid public office through a

variety of means, which included door-to-door campaigning by political workers,

including those known as "precinct captains," who were associated with the Thirteenth

Ward Democratic Organization.

t2
 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 13 of 50 PageID #:13

those jobs and contracts from ComEd and its affiliates, even in instances where such

associates performed little or no work that they were purportedly hired to perform for

ComEd; and (ii) created and caused the creation of false contracts, invoices and other

books and records to disguise the true nature of certain of the payments and to

circumvent internal controls.

Hiring of Publie Official A's Associates as Vendor "Subeontraetors"

Who Performed Little or No Work for ComEd

executives and agents of the company, including but not limited to McCLAIN,
PRAMAGGIORE, HOOKER, and Fidel Marquez, cornrptly arranged for jobs, vendor

contracts and subcontracts, as well as monetary payments to be provided to various

associates of Public Official A.

6. It was further part of the conspiracy that, at certain times, in order to

Exelon, ComEd and Exelon Business Services that made it falsely appear that payments

intended forthird-partyintermediaries were solely forlegitimate services to be rendered

or actually rendered by the third-party intermediaries, when in fact, the contracts,

invoices and internal documentation were intended to disguise the fact that a substantial

amount of the payments to the third-party intermediaries was intended for Public Officiai

A's associates, who performed little or no work for ComEd.

9. It was further part of the conspiracy that, at times, Public Official A's

associates who were recipients of vendor subcontracts and monetary payments

to be renewed on terms acceptable to Law Firm A.

74. It was further part of the conspiracy that, in or around 2016, a ComEd

employee, who was assigned as a project manager by PRAMAGGIORE to assist with

the project of obtaining legislative approval of FEJA-and who had no oversight

authority over ComEd's legal department-began to monitor the renewal of Law Firm

A's contract in order to help ensure that Law Firm A's contract was renewed.

15. It was further part of the conspiracy that, in or around 2016, the

rewarding Public Official A, the conspirators caused positions in the ComEd Internship

Program to be set aside for individuals associated with the Thirteenth Ward who were

identified by McCLAIN.

interas identified by McCLAIN did not need to compete against the general intern

applicant pool, and instead, received more favorable treatment when it came to assessing

their qualifications for a position within the ComEd Internship Program.

18. It was further part of the conspiracy that Marquez would contact other
employees within ComEd for the pwpose of stressing the need to hire interns who were

referred by McCLAIN, and ensuring that Thirteenth Ward interns received favorable

treatment during the hiring process.

17
 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 18 of 50 PageID #:18

Concealment

25. It was further part of the conspiracy that, in order to conceal the unlawful

benefits tendered for the purpose of influencing and rewarding Public Offlcial A, the

conspirators concealed multiple violations of Exelon's Code of Business Conduct,

never using a third party to make pa;rments or offers that could be improper; and (iii) the

prohibition on "providing something of value for the benefit of a public official in a position

to make a decision that could benefit the company."

get caught up in a, you know, disruptive battle where, you know, somebody gets their

 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 41 of 50 PageID #:41

nose out of joint and we're tryrng to move somebody off, and then we get forced to give

'em a five-year contract because we're in the middle of needing to get something done in

Springfield."

ii. In or around March 2019, in connection with the renewal of JDDA's

contract, the defendants caused the preparation of a false and misleading document,

known as a "Single Source Justification," in support of the renewal of JDDA's contract,

and the submission of this form to Exelon Business Services. This Single Source

Justification form made it falsely appear that the large amount of money to be paid to

JDDA was because, among other things, "Consultant has specific knowledge that cannot

be sources [sic] from another supplier/contractor," and did not indicate that a substantial

amount of the fees that would be paid to JDDA was intended for third parties in an effort

to influence and reward Public Official A.

jj. On or about March 5,2079,McCLAIN met with a ComEd executive

and Marquezfor the purpose of explaining why the JDDA contract and the payments to

Individual 13W-1, Individual 13W-2, and Individual 23W-1 should be continued for

another year.

kk. On or about March 17,2019, DOHERTY caused a representative

from Exelon Business Services to execute a contract containing false representations and

promises that the compensation paid to JDDA was in return for providing ComEd with

advice on legislative issues, when in fact a significant portion of the compensation to be

47
 Case: 1:20-cr-00812 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/18/20 Page 42 of 50 PageID #:42

paid to JDDA was intended for Individual 13W-1, Individual 13W-2, and Individual 23W-

1, who in fact did little or no legitimate work for ComEd.

}| On or about April }I,?}L},PRAMAGGIORE advised McCLAIN by

text message, "Just sent out Board approval to appoint [Individual BM-l] to ComEd

Board."

mm. On or about April 26,2019, ComEd filed a notice with the U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission stating that Individual BM-1 had served as a

director of ComEd since April2019.

All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 371and2.
