TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
DTE Energy Company (“DTE Energy”) plans to conduct a conference call for the investment
community hosted by Anthony F. Earley Jr., DTE Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gerard
M. Anderson, DTE Energy President and Chief Operating Officer, and David E. Meador, DTE Energy
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at 8:30 A.M. EDT Monday, May 21, to discuss an
asset sale under DTE Energy’s non-utility restructuring plan. Copies of an associated slide
presentation, together with a related news release are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2,
respectively, to this report.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on
Form 8-K under this heading, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to
the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth in such a
filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events
DTE Energy announced yesterday that on May 18, 2007 it agreed to sell its Michigan Antrim Shale gas
exploration and production properties to Atlas Energy Resources for $1.225 billion of gross
proceeds. The deal is expected to close on or about June 30, 2007.
Given the results of the Antrim sale and strong investor interest in other non-utility assets, the
company is now confident that the monetizations anticipated by DTE Energy’s non-utility
restructuring plan will result in after-tax proceeds between $1,250 and $1,550 million by year-end.
With the signing of the agreement with Atlas, DTE Energy’s Board of Directors has authorized up to
a $1.55 billion common share repurchase program, increased from the previous $700 million,
inclusive of purchases to date of approximately $159 million.
