On the basis of these authorizations, the Executive Board acquired 1,998,112 own shares until 17 June 2014, which corresponds to 1.11% of the share capital of the company. The Executive Board of EVN AG resolved on 17 June 2014, to release a maximum of 173,000 of its own shares to employees of the company as well as employees of specified subsidiaries (Netz Niederösterreich GmbH and evn wasser GmbH) instead of the planned special payment stipulated in an agreement concluded with employee representatives. No share option programme currently exists at EVN AG. Therefore it is intended to transfer a maximum of 173,000 non-par value shares (corresponding to a maximum of 0.096% of the share capital of EVN AG) currently owned by the company to employees, provided that the employees agree to exercise this option. The treasury stock to be transferred into the possession of employees is comprised of ordinary non-par value bearer shares of EVN AG. The transfer of these own shares to employees will take place and end on 5 August 2014. The equivalent value for each of the shares transferred into the possession of employees corresponds to 90% of the average of the share price at the end of daily trading in the 27th to 30th calendar weeks in the year 2014. The treasury stock given to employees will have no effect on the admission to trading of the shares of the issuer. EVN AG intends to fulfil the disclosure requirements laid out in §§ 6 and 7 of the Austrian Disclosure Regulation 2002 by publishing the information on its website at www.investor.evn.at.
