E.ON AG: Supervisory Board

E.ON AG / Key word(s): Change of Personnel/AGM/EGM

09.03.2011 / 08:01

Supervisory Board proposes election of Baroness Denise Kingsmill CBE and
René Obermann

At the company's Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 5, 2011, the
Supervisory Board of E.ON AG, Düsseldorf, will recommend that Baroness
Denise Kingsmill CBE, member of the British House of Lords, and René
Obermann, Chairman of the Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom AG, be
elected to the Supervisory Board as new shareholder representatives.

After earning a degree at Cambridge University, Baroness Denise Kingsmill
passed the U.K. bar exam in 1980. In her many years as an attorney and
expert in U.K. and European labor and corporate law, she advised many major
corporations on issues relating to good corporate governance. She was
appointed Deputy Chair of the UK Competition Commission in 1997. In this
role, she led a number of antitrust and market inquiries as well as
merger-control procedures in a variety of industries. She was made
Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2000 and was
appointed as a life peer to the House of Lords in 2006, where she is a
member of the Economic Affairs Committee. She also holds directorships on
the boards of several international companies, including the International
Airlines Group (created by the merger of British Airways und Iberia) and
U.S.-based management consultancy Korn/Ferry International.

Having completed his university entrance certificate and military service,
René Obermann began his career with a business traineeship at BMW AG in
Munich. Following that, he founded his own business, ABC Telekom, which
focused on marketing and providing technical services for
telecommunications equipment and mobile phones. Hutchison Whampoa of Hong
Kong acquired a stake in ABC Telekom in 1991, and René Obermann became
Managing Partner of the resulting company, Hutchison Mobilfunk. In 1993, he
became Chairman of the Management Board of Hutchison Mobilfunk, which was
one of the first network-independent service providers for digital mobile
communications in Germany. He joined Deutsche Telekom in 1998 as Managing
Director of Sales at T-Mobile Deutschland. After several other executive
functions, he became Chairman of the Deutsche Telekom AG Board of
Management in 2006.

Ulrich Hartmann, Chairman of the E.ON AG Supervisory Board said: 'We are
very pleased that in Baroness Denise Kingsmill and René Obermann we are
presenting the Annual Shareholders Meeting with two extraordinarily
competent and experienced candidates for election to our Supervisory Board.
With her experience on the U.K. Competition Commission and many successful
years as an attorney, Baroness Denise Kingsmill has outstanding expertise
in energy markets, competition, and regulatory issues as well as political
experience. René Obermann has unique management experience in an industry
whose regulatory and competitive environment has developed in a way similar
to the energy industry's. In this environment, he successfully developed
and marketed technological and commercial innovations. With their knowledge
and experience, Baroness Denise Kingsmill and René Obermann will enrich our
Supervisory Board. At the same time, we are continuing our policy of
increasing the diversity of our company's leadership.'

It will also be proposed to the Annual Shareholders Meeting to reelect Bård
Mikkelsen of Norway to the Supervisory Board. He was appointed to the
Supervisory Board by the Düsseldorf Commercial Court in June 2010 to serve
until the next Annual Shareholders Meeting.

As previously announced, Chairman Ulrich Hartmann and Wilhelm Simson will
end their service on the Supervisory Board at the conclusion of the Annual
Shareholders Meeting on May 5, 2011.
