On

8-K dated December 10, 2004 announcing the election of Patrick T. Stokes,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., to
Ameren’s Board of Directors on December 15, 2004. At the time of the Form 8-K

committees of the Board that Mr. Stokes would be named. On February 11, 2005,
the Board of Directors of Ameren nominated Mr. Stokes to its Human Resources
Committee and Public Policy Committee to commence service after Ameren’s annual
meeting of shareholders on April 26, 2005, subject to his re-election as
director at that meeting. The Human Resources Committee is responsible for
executive compensation related matters. The Public Policy Committee, renamed
from the Contributions Committee effective after Ameren’s 2005 annual
shareholders meeting, will be responsible for reviewing and overseeing Ameren’s

public affairs considerations affecting Ameren’s relationship and reputation
with its key constituents in addition to its current function of making policies
and recommendations with respect to charitable and other
contributions.
