Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Shares withheld by the company at the request of the executive officer to pay taxes due following expiration of the applicable restriction period relating to a prior grant of restricted stock units, under the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP). Fair market value on vesting date was $34.75. Mr. Biggar transferred 9,947 of the vested shares from such grant to his spouses's account.
( 2 )Total includes reinvestment of dividends.
( 3 )No conversion or exercise price applies. Under the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP), a restricted stock unit converts to a share of common stock on the applicable vesting date.
( 4 )The units would have vested on 1/25/2010; however, Mr. Biggar intends to retire effective April 1, 2006, and so the units will vest upon his retirement date and he will be entitled to sell the resulting shares of common stock at any time after six months following his retirement date.
( 5 )These restricted stock units were granted in connection with the Cash Incentive Premium Exchange Program under the Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP). Pursuant to this program, an executive officer may elect to exchange all or any portion of his cash incentive compensation for restricted stock units equal in value at the time of the grant to 140% of the cash so exchanged.
( 6 )In light of his planned retirement, Mr. Biggar was granted an additional 8,880 restricted stock units in lieu of the stock option award that he otherwise would have been granted, calculated based on the dollar value of such stock option award divided by $35.12, the closing price of PPL Corporation?s common stock on the The New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. The restriction on these restricted stock units will lapse one year following his retirement, or March 31, 2008.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
