Insider Trading Policy Exelon Policy LE-AC-202 1. Policy Statement 1.1. The purpose of this Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”) is to promote compliance with applicable securities laws to prevent Insider Trading violations by Covered Persons of Exelon Corporation (including its subsidiaries, hereafter the “Company” or “Exelon”). 2. Precautions and Limitations 2.1. N/A 3. Applicability 3.1. This Policy applies to all Exelon employees, officers, and directors of the Company, as well as third-party contractors and consultants engaged by the Company. 4. Implementation 4.1. General Rules Applicable to All Covered Persons 4.1.1 Prohibition Against Insider Trading. Insider Trading is a criminal offense and a violation of Company policy, including the Code of Business Conduct. If a Covered Person has Material Non-Public Information (MNPI) about the Company, he or she may not buy or sell Exelon Securities until the Company has broadly disseminated the MNPI to the public. In the event the Company issues a press release or makes an SEC filing disclosing all of the MNPI known to a Covered Person, the Covered Person may only trade in Exelon Securities beginning on the second full trading day after such release or filing is made public. 4.1.2 Non-Disclosure of Material Non-Public Information; “Tipping”. A Covered Person must not share MNPI with persons within the Company whose jobs do not require them to have that information or anyone outside the Company (including family members) unless any such disclosure is made in accordance with the Company’s policies and practices regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of information regarding the Company. If a person receives MNPI from a Covered Person and buys or sells securities on the basis of that information, both the Covered Person and the person who used it may be deemed to have committed illegal Insider Trading, regardless of whether the Covered Person benefited personally from the other person's trading (commonly referred to as “tipping”). 4.1.3 Recommendations Regarding Company Securities. A Covered Person must not recommend that another person hold or transact in Exelon Securities while in possession of MNPI about the Company. 4.1.4 Prohibition Against Short Sales and Put and Call Options. Covered Persons are prohibited from engaging in short sales and the purchase or sale of put and call options on Exelon Securities.

Covered Persons are prohibited from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, spread bets, contracts for difference, collars and exchange funds, with respect to Exelon Securities. 4.1.6 Prohibition Against Holding Exelon Securities in Margin Accounts or Using Exelon Securities as Collateral for a Loan. Covered Persons are prohibited from holding Exelon Securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Exelon Securities as collateral for a loan. 4.1.7 Gifts. Gifts of Exelon Securities made by Covered Persons, including those made to relatives or charitable organizations or for establishing a donor-advised account, are subject to this Policy. Certain acquisitions, dispositions, or transfers of Exelon Securities for no consideration, other than charitable donations, may be exempt from the general policy prohibiting transactions in Exelon Securities while in possession of MNPI and, to the extent applicable, outside of Trading Windows. Examples of such transfers include bona fide gifts, inheritances, and changes in the nature of your ownership including transferring stock held in your name to a broker, family member, or family trust. Covered Persons must consult with and obtain approval from OCG prior to effecting such an exempt acquisition, disposition, or transfer of Exelon Securities. 4.1.8 Prohibition Against the Insider Trading of Securities of Other Companies. Covered Persons are prohibited from trading in the securities of any other company on the basis of MNPI acquired while providing services to, or on behalf of, the Company. The preceding rules in this Section 4 apply to the securities of other companies where the Covered Person is acting on the basis of MNPI. 4.1.9 Private Brokerage Accounts. All Covered Persons are strongly encouraged to hold Exelon Securities in accounts with Exelon’s equity administrator or in registered book entry accounts with Exelon’s transfer agent, and not in private brokerage accounts. (Additional rules apply to Tier 2 Persons; see Section 4.4.4 below.) 4.1.10 Special Blackout Periods. The Company may establish Special Blackout Periods during which designated Covered Persons will not be permitted to trade in Exelon Securities. OCG will determine the persons subject to Special Blackout Periods and will provide notice to such individuals. Special Blackout Periods may be established in connection with a significant event, including, but not limited to: • a pending or proposed merger, acquisition or tender offer, • a significant cybersecurity incident, • financial or accounting developments, • significant operational events, • legal or regulatory developments or proceedings, or • pending senior management changes.

Individuals subject to Special Blackout Periods may not discuss the existence of the Special Blackout Period or the identity of any individuals subject to the Special Blackout Period with any other person not also subject to the Special Blackout Period. 4.1.12 Post-Separation Transactions. This Policy continues to apply to transactions in Exelon Securities even after termination of your service to the Company. If you are in possession of MNPI when your service terminates, you may not trade in Exelon Securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. (See Sections 4.4.5 and 4.5.3 for related provisions applicable to Tier 2 Persons and Section 16 Insiders post-separation.) 4.2. Benefit Plan Transactions 4.2.1 Benefit Plan Transactions Subject to Policy.

Additional Rules Applicable to Tier 1 and Tier 2 Persons 4.3.1 Approved Trading Limited to Trading Windows. Tier 1 and Tier 2 Persons may only engage in transactions involving Exelon Securities during a Trading Window unless trading is executed pursuant to an approved Trading Plan. Trading Windows generally begin in each calendar quarter at the beginning of the second trading day after the release of earnings for the prior quarter and continue for approximately four to six weeks unless otherwise specified by OCG. Trading Windows may open later or close earlier than described above at the discretion of OCG for various reasons. 4.4. Additional Rules Applicable to Tier 2 Persons 4.4.1 Prior Approval Required. Tier 2 Persons are required to obtain approval from OCG prior to any transaction involving any Exelon Securities subject to the exceptions noted in Section 4.4.2. Trading approval is valid for three business days. If a transaction is not completed within that time, the person wishing to trade must contact OCG to obtain new approval. For the avoidance of doubt, if OCG approves a person to trade and the person obtains MNPI prior to completing the transaction, such person is prohibited from executing such transaction. Examples of transactions for which prior approval is required include, but are not limited to: • Open market purchases or sales of Exelon Securities, • Exercising stock options involving Exelon Securities, • Any Benefit Plan transactions subject to this Policy and listed in Section 4.2.1, • Transactions or transfers of Exelon Securities between accounts pursuant to which there is a financial benefit, including but not limited to a tax benefit, and • Gifts of Exelon Securities. 4.4.2 Transactions Exempt from Prior Approval Requirement.

Insider Trading Policy Exelon Policy LE-AC-202 • Any purchase or sale of Exelon Securities made pursuant to a Trading Plan approved in advance by OCG, • Any Benefit Plan transactions exempted from this Policy and listed in Section 4.2.2, • Company matching contributions under the Employee Savings Plan or other Benefit Plans, and • Any transaction specifically approved in advance in writing by OCG. 4.4.3 Approval Procedures. OCG has established and maintains procedures for the approval of transactions and maintains controls to ensure compliance with this Policy. These procedures are communicated to all Tier 1 and Tier 2 Persons at the beginning of each Trading Window. Approval by OCG of any transaction does not relieve anyone of the responsibility for compliance with federal securities laws and does not constitute legal or investment advice. 4.4.4 Broker Letters. Any Tier 2 Person who holds Exelon Securities in a private brokerage account must enter into an agreement with his/her broker that (a) requires the broker to obtain authorization from OCG before executing any trade and (b) authorizes the broker to provide immediate notice to OCG of all trades in Exelon Securities, and to confirm balances and provide other information as needed to OCG. 4.4.5 Rules Remain in Effect for 90 Days after Separation. Tier 2 Persons remain subject to pre-approval of trading for 90 days after ceasing to serve in such role for any reason. However, in this case, the trading of Exelon Securities need not be limited to the Trading Windows. The 90-day period will be measured from the date the person officially terminates employment. (See Section 4.5.3 for related provision applicable to Section 16 Insiders.) 4.5. Additional Rules Applicable to Section 16 Insiders 4.5.1 Reporting Requirements. All Section 16 Insiders are required by federal securities laws to file reports with the SEC disclosing initial beneficial ownership of, and any transactions in Exelon Securities. OCG maintains procedures to assist Section 16 Insiders with compliance with this requirement and to facilitate the reporting obligations of these individuals. 4.5.2 Prohibition Against Trading During Benefit Plan Blackout Periods. During a Benefit Plan Blackout Period, Section 16 Insiders may not buy or sell any Exelon common stock in any other account or in any other Benefit Plan. Any profit obtained by a Section 16 Insider from trades during a Benefit Plan Blackout Period must be returned to the Company. OCG maintains procedures for communicating to Section 16 Insiders about any Benefit Plan Blackout Periods pursuant to the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules.
Insider Trading Policy Exelon Policy LE-AC-202 4.5.3 Rules Remain in Effect for Six Months after Separation. Certain reporting requirements under federal securities laws remain in effect for Section 16 Insiders for six months after the termination of employment or cessation of serving in a Section 16 Insider role (i.e., serving as an Exelon Director or Executive Officer) for any reason, and, therefore prior approval for trading also remains in effect for six months. However, trading of Exelon Securities need not be limited to Trading Windows. The six-month period will be measured from the date the person officially terminates employment. 4.6. 10b5-1 Trading Plans 4.6.1 Trading Through Approved Trading Plans. The Company allows individuals to enter into pre-set Trading Plans designed to meet the requirements of the SEC’s Rule 10b5-1(c) (the “Rule”) pursuant to which trades in Exelon Securities may be executed.

See Attachment 4.6.1 for additional details and requirements about the design, approval, and execution of such Trading Plans. 4.6.2 Multiple Plans Prohibited.
