Ørsted — Share Issue/Capital Change 2014

May 14, 2014

In February 2014, DONG Energy announced a share programme aimed at employees
and managers. The share programme process has now been completed.

3,078 of the employees in DONG Energy and 212 of the managers have chosen to
subscribe for shares and consequently become co-owners of DONG Energy. They are
investing a total of DKK 222 million in the company.

As part of the share programme, employees and managers are given the
possibility to receive matching shares depending on how well DONG Energy is
doing compared to other European energy companies over a number of years.

The eligibility for matching shares will be forfeited if the employee or
manager in question resigns from his or her position prior to a possible IPO.

The information provided in this announcement does not change DONG Energy’s
previous financial guidance for the 2014 financial year or the announced
expected net investment level for 2014-2015.
