Shares of Dynegy

, the Houston, TX electric energy company, rose 42% Friday on 3 times the average daily volume. Dynegy announced Friday that it has filed a response to the Examiner's Report with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Poughkeepsie Division. In connection with the filing of the response, the Company noted that the Examiner's Report is not evidence, is non-binding and is not the conclusion of any court. “Dynegy is both troubled and disappointed by the Examiner's Report as we continue to believe our restructuring activities benefited all stakeholders and were conducted in the proper manner,” commented Robert C. Flexon, Dynegy President and Chief Executive Officer. The Examiner conducted a 60 day review of the Company's pre-petition restructuring transactions and concluded that many of the elements of the Company's strategy, including the ring-fencing of CoalCo and GasCo and related financings, were proper. The Examiner's criticism was directed exclusively at a single transaction: the transfer of CoalCo from Dynegy Gas Investments, a debt-free, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynegy Holdings, to Dynegy Inc. in exchange for a $1.25 billion Undertaking on September 1, 2011. Dynegy closed at $0.89 on Friday.
