Notice of Amendment to the PPL Corporation Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Dear Plan Participant:
This correspondence is intended to notify you, as a participant in the PPL Corporation Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Prospectus Supplement, dated November 16, 2018, to the Plan prospectus which makes several amendments to the Plan that will be effective for transactions occurring on and after January 1, 2019.

These statements contain information to record the cost basis of your shares for tax reporting purposes. It is important that you keep the statements to fulfill any tax obligations.
