Regarding Information on AB Lietuvos Dujos activity published by BNS


Considering the published information on the activities of AB Lietuvos Dujos we
inform that: 

• In 2009, AB Lietuvos Dujos Group plans to invest about LTL 250 mln;
• Information presented by BNS on the company's investment in 2008 is
incorrect. In 2008, according to the preliminary unaudited data investment of
the AB Lietuvos Dujos Group amounted LTL 128.3 mln. 
• Information on the threat of fines amounting millions Litas to be applied to
the company for not taking the contracted natural gas volumes was
misinterpreted by the BNS journalists. Actually, there was a threat of fines
amounting millions of Litas, but we succeeded to put the gas quantities ordered
but not taken by the customers in the underground gas storage facility in
Latvia. Addition costs incurred by the company in relation with this
transaction will be claimed from the respective customers. These amounts will
be much smaller than the fines that were impending though.
