Summary
American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) filed an 8-K on April 21, 2011, to report its financial results for the period ending March 31, 2011. The filing primarily consists of a press release (Exhibit 99.1) detailing the company's operational and financial performance for the first quarter of 2011. While the 8-K itself doesn't contain the detailed financial figures, it serves as the official notification and submission of these results to the SEC, making the press release the key document for investors to access the specific financial data. Investors seeking to understand AEP's performance in early 2011 should refer to the accompanying press release. This document would typically outline key financial metrics such as earnings per share (EPS), revenue, net income, and potentially guidance or commentary on factors influencing the results. The filing's nature as a "furnished" rather than "filed" document means it doesn't carry the same liability as other sections of an 8-K, but it is crucial for timely disclosure of material financial information.
