On 15 September 2015, RWE Aktiengesellschaft has undertaken to the holders
from time to time of the below listed securities as third party
beneficiaries according to § 328 para. 1 BGB (German Civil Code) (the
'Undertaking to effect a Tender Offer') that it will make a tender offer
pursuant to which it will offer to repurchase the securities at their
respective principal amounts plus any interest accrued until the day of
completion of the repurchase if a change of control event has occurred (as
defined in the Undertaking to effect a Tender Offer). The Undertaking to
effect a Tender Offer of RWE Aktiengesellschaft replaces an undertaking to
effect a tender offer dated 24. September 2010, which was time limited and
which expires on 28 September 2015 upon the repayment of the hybrid bond
issued on 28. September 2010 (ISIN XS0542298012).

Beginning and end of the tender offer will be published by RWE
Aktiengesellschaft immediately
after the change of control event has occurred. The new Undertaking to
effect a
Tender Offer of RWE Aktiengesellschaft expires upon the redemption of its
hybrid bonds issued on 21 April 2015 (ISIN XS1219498141) unless the
redemption will be made following a call of RWE Aktiengesellschaft for
reasons of a change of control pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
hybrid bonds (ISIN XS1219498141). In that case the Undertaking to effect a
Tender Offer expires
180 days after the occurrence of a change of control pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the hybrid bonds (ISIN XS1219498141), but not later than
120 days after the
