The E.ON Board of Management and Supervisory Board have approved the
acquisition of a substantial package comprising power stations and other
shareholdings above all in Spain, France and Italy. E.ON reached agreement
last April with the Italian energy company Enel and the Spanish
conglomerate Acciona on an extensive transaction as a constructive way of
ending the dispute over the acquisition of a majority interest in the
Spanish energy company Endesa. Valuation of the assets, which was agreed
then as a basis for determining the final purchase price, has now been
completed on schedule.

Based on the contractually agreed valuation system, the purchase price is
approx. 8.9 bn. In addition, debt which is currently put at approx. 2.9
bn will be taken over. This means that E.ON invests in total approx. 11.8
bn in the transaction. The final amount of debt will subsequently be
determined by an auditor. At its meeting today, the E.ON Supervisory Board
approved the acquisition of the assets at this value. The completion of the
transaction is likely to take place in the third quarter of 2008 once all
permits are available.
