Table of Contents
plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal

amount being redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.

If we redeem the Notes on or after March 15, 2022, the Notes will be redeemed
by us at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes

to be so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount
being redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption. See "Description
of the Notes--Redemption."

Ranking, Guarantees
The Notes will be PPL Capital Funding's unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with PPL Capital
Funding's existing unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in
right of payment to PPL Capital Funding's subordinated indebtedness. The Notes
will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by PPL Corporation as to payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest. The Guarantees will be PPL
Corporation's unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment
with PPL Corporation's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
However, because PPL Corporation is a holding company, its obligations under
the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to existing and future liabilities
of its subsidiaries. See "Risk Factors."

Form and Denomination
The Notes will be initially issued in the form of one or more global securities,
without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof, and deposited with the Trustee on behalf of The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC"), as depositary, and registered in the name of DTC or
its nominee. See "Description of the Notes--General" and "Description of the
Notes--Book-Entry Only Issuance--The Depository Trust Company."

Use of Proceeds
We expect to loan the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to subsidiaries of
PPL Corporation, which will use the funds for general corporate purposes.

Reopening of the Series
We may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal
amount of the series and issue additional notes of such series having the same
ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, other than the date
of issuance and, in some circumstances, the initial interest accrual date and the
initial interest payment date, if applicable. Any such additional notes may,
together with the Notes, constitute a single series of securities under the
Indenture. See "Description of the Notes--General."

Governing Law
The Notes and the Indenture are governed by the laws of the State of New York,
except to the extent the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Before making a decision to invest in the Notes, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other
information included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Risks Relating to PPL Corporation's Businesses
See the risk factors set forth beginning on page 21 of PPL Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2011 for a discussion of certain risks relating to PPL Corporation's businesses.
Risks Relating to the Notes
PPL Corporation's cash flow and ability to meet its obligations with respect to its Guarantees of the Notes largely depend on
the performance of its subsidiaries. As a result, PPL Corporation's obligations with respect to its Guarantees of the Notes
will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of its subsidiaries.
PPL Corporation is a holding company and conducts its operations primarily through subsidiaries. Substantially all of its
consolidated assets are held by such subsidiaries. Accordingly, its cash flow and its ability to meet its obligations under its
Guarantees of the Notes are largely dependent upon the earnings of these subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment of such
earnings to it in the form of dividends, loans or advances or repayment of loans and advances from it. The subsidiaries are separate
and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the Notes or to make any funds available for such
payment.
Because PPL Corporation is a holding company, its obligations with respect to the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all
existing and future liabilities of its subsidiaries. Therefore, its rights and the rights of its creditors, including rights of a holder of any
Note, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary in the event that such a subsidiary is liquidated or reorganized will be subject to
the prior claims of such subsidiary's creditors. To the extent that PPL Corporation may be a creditor with recognized claims against
any such subsidiary, its claims would still be effectively subordinated to any security interest in, or mortgages or other liens on, the
assets of the subsidiary and would be subordinated to any indebtedness or other liabilities of the subsidiary senior to that held by it.
Although certain agreements to which PPL Corporation's subsidiaries are parties limit the ability to incur additional indebtedness,
PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries retain the ability to incur substantial additional indebtedness and other liabilities.
The debt agreements of some of PPL Corporation's subsidiaries contain provisions that might restrict their ability to pay
dividends, make distributions or otherwise transfer funds to PPL Corporation upon failing to meet certain financial tests or other
conditions prior to the payment of other obligations, including operating expenses, debt service and reserves. PPL Corporation
currently believes that all of its subsidiaries are in compliance with such tests and conditions. Further, if PPL Corporation elects to
receive distributions of earnings from its foreign operations, PPL Corporation may incur United States taxes, net of any available
foreign tax credits, on such amounts. Distributions to PPL Corporation from its international projects are, in some countries, also
subject to withholding taxes.
An active trading market for the Notes may not develop.
There is no existing market for the Notes. We cannot assure that an active trading market for the Notes will develop. There can
be no assurances as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the Notes, the ability of holders to sell their Notes or the price
at which the holders will be able to sell their Notes. Future trading prices of the Notes will depend on many factors including, among
other things, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for similar securities.
