The Nomination Committee of DONG Energy A/S has nominated Lene Skole and Lynda
Armstrong as new members to DONG Energy's Board of Directors.

Lene Skole has extensive management experience within the financial area, among
other things as CFO in Coloplast and most recently as CEO of the Lundbeck
Foundation and member of the Boards of Directors of Tryg Forsikring and
ALK-Abelló.

For several years, Lynda Armstrong has had leading positions at Royal Dutch
Shell plc and today, Armstrong is an independent consultant and member of the
Boards of Directors of KAZ Minerals Plc and the Supervisory Board of SBM
Offshore N.V as well as Chair of the British Safety Council.

"I'm pleased that we've succeeded in finding two so strong candidates for DONG
Energy's Board of Directors, and I look forward to working with Lene Skole and
