The Executive Board of RWE AG decided in its meeting today that the
dividend proposal will no longer be based solely on recurrent net income
starting with the payment for fiscal 2015. So far, the dividend proposal
has been oriented towards a payout ratio of 40% to 50% of recurrent net
income. In the future, it will be oriented towards RWE's operating cash
flows, indebtedness and earnings position. Opportunities to make growth
investments will also be considered. The Executive Board and the
Supervisory Board will continue to attach high importance to the dividend.
Sustainability, continuity and reasonable judgment are major criteria. This
is to be done justice by taking the dividend of the preceding year into
account among other things when deciding on the dividend proposal. However,
this will not go hand in hand with the determination of a minimum dividend.
