(a) The discount rate used in 2012 to determine expense refl ects remeasurement as of July 1, 2012, due to the merger between Duke Energy and Progress Energy.
(b) The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used by Progress Energy Carolinas and Progress Energy Florida were not materially different from the assumptions above, as applicable.
The discount rate used to determine the current year pension obligation and following year’s pension expense is based on a bond selection-settlement portfolio
approach. This approach develops a discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high quality corporate bonds that generate suffi cient cash fl ow to provide for the projected
benefi t payments of the plan. The selected bond portfolio is derived from a universe of non-callable corporate bonds rated Aa quality or higher. After the bond portfolio
is selected, a single interest rate is determined that equates the present value of the plan’s projected benefi t payments discounted at this rate with the market value
of the bonds selected.
