Financial Publications
Duke Energy’s current annual report, SEC Form 10-K and related financial publications can be found on our Web site at www.duke-energy.com/investors. Printed copies are also available
on request.
Electronic Delivery
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we encourage shareholders to enroll in electronic delivery of financial information and proxy statements. Besides preserving our natural resources by reducing paper quantities, electronic delivery also significantly reduces the costs of printing and mailing. In 2007, Duke Energy will donate $1 to The Nature Conservancy for every shareholder who selects electronic delivery rather than a printed copy of their 2006 annual report.
To enroll in electronic delivery, go to www.icsdelivery.com/duk. To learn more about the work of The Nature Conservancy, visit www.nature.org.
Duplicate Mailings
If your shares are registered in different accounts, you may receive duplicate mailings of annual reports, proxy statements and other shareholder information. Call Investor Relations for instructions on eliminating duplications or combining your accounts.
