Section 7 - Regulation FD

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 5 and 6, 2012, members of senior management of PPL Corporation (“PPL” or the “Company”) will meet with investors and financial analysts in New York City and Boston, Massachusetts and discuss PPL's corporate strategy and general business outlook. At these meetings, PPL is expected to reaffirm its 2012 forecast of $2.15 to $2.45 per share in earnings from ongoing operations.

A copy of the slides to be used during the investor and analyst discussions are furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

Section 9 - Financial Statements and Exhibits

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

(d)
99.1 -	Slides to be used in connection with senior management discussions with investors and analysts on June 5 and 6, 2012.

“Earnings from ongoing operations” should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or net income attributable to PPL, which is an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). PPL believes that “earnings from ongoing operations,” although a non-GAAP financial measure, is also useful and meaningful to investors because it provides management’s view of PPL’s fundamental earnings performance as another criterion in making investment decisions. PPL’s management also uses “earnings from ongoing operations” in measuring certain corporate performance goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.

“Earnings from ongoing operations” is adjusted for the impact of special items. Special items include:

· Adjusted energy-related economic activity.

· Foreign currency-related economic hedges.

· Gains and losses on sales of assets not in the ordinary course of business.

· Impairment charges (including impairments of securities in the company’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds).

· Workforce reduction and other restructuring impacts.

· Acquisition-related adjustments.

· Other charges or credits that are, in management’s view, not reflective of the company’s ongoing operations.
