To the best knowledge of the persons listed in Item 2 hereof, each person listed on Exhibit A is a United States citizen except where otherwise noted and, during the last five years, no person listed in Exhibit A (i) has been convicted in a

8

CUSIP No. 873168108

criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Common Stock acquired with funds of approximately $1,282.8 million (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from investment capital of one or more open- or closed-end investment companies or other managed accounts that are managed by one or more direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of FRI (collectively, the “Investment Management Subsidiaries”).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Investment Management Subsidiaries purchased the Common Stock for their investment management clients for the purpose of investment. All such purchases were made in the open market in the ordinary course of the Investment Management Subsidiaries’ business. None of the Investment Management Subsidiaries, and none of any of the other reporting persons covered by this Schedule 13D, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or any present plans or intentions to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer other than on behalf of the separate accounts and mutual funds managed and advised by the Investment Management Subsidiaries.

Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership, an investor group led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., TPG (formerly Texas Pacific Group) and other investors have proposed to buyout TXU shareholders at an offer price of $69.25 per share (the “KKR buyout offer”).

On July 24, 2007, the Investment Management Subsidiaries announced an intention to vote “NO” on the KKR buyout offer, based on their belief that the transaction was not in the best interest of TXU shareholders. Due to changing market conditions in the intervening period of time, the Investment Management Subsidiaries have changed their opinion and now intend to vote “YES” on the KKR buyout offer.

The Investment Management Subsidiaries’ investment management clients may in the future acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, in the open market, in privately-negotiated purchases or otherwise, and may also, depending upon then-current circumstances, dispose of all or a portion of the Common Stock owned by their investment management clients in one or more transactions. Additionally, the Investment Management Subsidiaries’ investment management clients reserve the right to exercise any and all of their respective rights as stockholders of the Issuer in a manner

9

CUSIP No. 873168108

consistent with their equity interests and reserve the right from time to time to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, including without limitation to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by the Investment Management Subsidiaries.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b) The 23,259,545 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Securities”), representing 5.0% of the outstanding Common Stock, are beneficially owned by one or more open- or closed-end investment companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of the Investment Management Subsidiaries (the “Investment Management Clients”). Investment management contracts grant to the Investment Management Subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power over the securities owned by such Investment Management Clients, except as otherwise disclosed below. Therefore, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Investment Management Subsidiaries may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Securities.

Beneficial ownership by the Investment Management Subsidiaries and other affiliates of FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“FMA”), an indirect wholly-owned investment management subsidiary of FRI, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and the investment management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

The Principal Shareholders each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock of FRI and are the principal stockholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for whom or for which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services. The number of shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of which such shares are a part are reported in Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages for FRI and each of the Principal Shareholders. FRI, the Principal Shareholders and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13D on behalf of the Principal Shareholders, FRI and FRI affiliates, as applicable, should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the

10

CUSIP No. 873168108

Securities.

FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services.

The number of Common Stock as to which each reporting person on this Schedule 13D and other Investment Management Subsidiaries has:

(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote of the Common Stock:

Franklin Resources, Inc.: 0
Charles B. Johnson: 0
Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.: 0
Franklin Advisers, Inc.: 22,995,195
Fiduciary Trust Company International: 98,684
Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.: 36,754
Franklin Templeton Portfolio Advisors, Inc. [1] : 12,662
Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited: 0
Franklin Templeton Investments (Asia) Limited: 320

(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote of the Common Stock:

Fiduciary Trust Company International: 876 [1]

(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Common Stock:

Franklin Resources, Inc.: 0
Charles B. Johnson: 0
Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.: 0
Franklin Advisers, Inc.: 23,105,995
Fiduciary Trust Company International: 99,560
Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.: 36,754
Franklin Templeton Portfolio Advisors, Inc.: 14,416
Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited: 2,500
Franklin Templeton Investments (Asia) Limited: 320

Franklin Templeton Portfolio Advisors, Inc. (“FTPA”) may beneficially own these securities pursuant to various separately managed account investment management arrangements. Under these arrangements, underlying clients may, from time to time, delegate to FTPA the power to vote such securities, in which case FTPA has sole voting power. To the extent that the underlying client retains voting power over any securities, FTPA disclaims any power to vote or direct the vote of such securities.

O ne of the investment management contracts that relates to these securities provides that the applicable FRI affiliate share investment power over the securities held in the client’s account with another unaffiliated entity. The issuer's securities held in such account are less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the class. In addition, FRI does not believe that such contract causes such client or unaffiliated entity to be part of a group with FRI or any FRI affiliate within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act.

11

CUSIP No. 873168108

(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Common Stock:

0

(c) Other than the transactions described in Exhibit B of this statement, none of the reporting persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Exhibit A, have effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the 60-day period preceding the date this statement was filed.

(d) No person other than the respective Investment Management Clients is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities being reported herein.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Other than as disclosed above, no persons named in Item 2 herein, nor to the best of such person’s knowledge, no person named in Exhibit A hereto, has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders’ fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
