---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On 30 June 2015, the Executive Board of EVN AG announced the purchase of
additional shares of the company's stock within the framework of the
authorisation granted by the 85th Annual General Meeting of EVN AG on 16
January 2014. This share buyback programme has been in progress since 22
January 2014 and will now be extended to cover up to an additional
1,000,000 shares, which represent up to 0.556% of the current share capital
of EVN AG. The Executive Board of EVN AG also announced that the current
share buyback programme will presumably be extended to 29 January 2016.

The share buyback programme led to the repurchase of 209,000 treasury
shares from its beginning on 22 January 2014 up to and including 30 June
2015.

The share buyback programme is intended to improve supply and demand for
the EVN share on the Vienna Stock Exchange, since the company considers the
share to be undervalued. It should be noted that the purchase of treasury
shares for trading purposes is excluded.

Information on the share buyback programme in accordance with § 5 para. 2
in connection with § 6 of the Austrian Publication Ordinance of 2002 is
provided below:
