On Friday, February 28, 2025, The AES Corporation (the “Company”) was notified by Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), the Company’s independent public accounting firm, that due to an unexpected medical issue relating to a key audit partner of the engagement team, EY required additional time to complete the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. The Company had earlier been informed by EY that the audit was on schedule for timely completion by March 3, 2025. Consequently, the Company is unable to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, but fully expects to be able to file its Form 10-K before the end of the 15-calendar day period following the due date of the Form 10-K. The Company does not expect any material changes or adjustments to current and/or previously reported annual financial results, including the financial results it previously reported in its press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 28, 2025. For related reasons, IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. and DPL Inc.’s respective annual reports on Form 10-K will be delayed from the originally planned filing date as EY prioritizes completing their work related to the Company’s annual report. Attached hereto and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 12b-25 is the statement of Ernst & Young LLP as contemplated by Rule 12b-25(c) of the Exchange Act
