In accordance with and for the purposes of article 17 of the Regulation (EU) no.
596/2014, of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 16th of April 2014, REN
– Redes Energéticas Nacionais, SGPS, S.A. hereby informs the market and the public
that Entidade Reguladora dos Serviços Energéticos ("ERSE") following the publication

1. Rate of Return
The initial base Rate of Return (RoR) and the annual indexation mechanism have been
defined with an indicative base RoR of 6.19% for 2026, assuming an index value of
3.076% and considering a tax rate of 28.25%.
Assets valued at reference costs benefit from a premium of 0.75 pp, resulting in a cost
Investor Relations Office of capital of 6.94% for a base RoR of 6.19%.

The annual RoR is indexed to the average daily quotations of Portuguese Republic
Treasury Bonds (OT) with a 10-year maturity for euro-denominated loans (source:
Banco de Portugal).
• The starting point for the index is 3.076%, calculated based on the arithmetic
average of the daily quotations of 10-year Portuguese Treasury Bonds over
the last 90 days ending on 14 November 2025.
• For determining the RoR for year t, the average of daily index values from
October of year t-1 to September of year t will be considered, with the average
filtered by excluding 1/12 of the highest and 1/12 of the lowest quotations.
• The relationship between changes in OT yields and RoR is linear.
• A variation of 1 pp in OT yields implies a variation of 0.3 pp in RoR.
• The minimum RoR is 5.39%, based on an average OT yield of 0.409%.
• The maximum RoR is 8.39%, based on an average OT yield of 10.409%.
• For average OT yields below 0.409%, the RoR remains at 5.39%.
• For average OT yields above 10.409%, the RoR remains at 8.39%.


Where "CCMP" (weighted average cost of capital) appears, it should also be understood as "RoR" (rate of return) in the terminology used in this document.
