Ørsted — M&A Activity 2013

Sep 10, 2013

London Array, a joint venture owned by DONG Energy (50%), E.ON (30%) and Masdar
(20%), today announced that it has signed an agreement for the sale of
transmission assets at the world’s largest offshore wind farm to Blue
Transmission London Array Limited.

The divestment takes place pursuant to the Offshore Transmission Owner (OFTO)
regime. Following a competitive tender, Blue Transmission London Array Limited
was in September 2012 selected by Ofgem as preferred bidder for the London
Array offshore transmission licence.

With an asset value of GBP 459 million (DKK 4.1 billion) for the entire
transmission assets, this is the largest transaction to date in the OFTO
regime. The divestment is expected to close later this month.

Blue Transmission London Array Limited is the licensee entity incorporated by
the consortium of Barclays Infrastructure Funds Management Limited and Diamond
UK Transmission Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi
Corporation), advised by Macquarie Capital.

London Array has been selected by Blue Transmission London Array Limited to
provide operations and maintenance services to the transmission link connecting
the London Array Offshore Wind Farm to the onshore grid.

London Array is located around 20 km off the coasts of Kent and Essex on a
100km2 site. Its 175 Siemens 3.6MW turbines have a combined capacity of 630MW
and are expected to produce enough electricity to power over half a million UK
homes each year.

DONG Energy has previously entered into agreements for divestment of the
transmission assets for Walney 1, Walney 2, Barrow, and Gunfleet Sands Offshore
Wind Farm.

The information provided in this announcement does not change DONG Energy’s
previous financial guidance for the 2013 financial year or the announced
expected investment level for 2013-2014.
