PRESS RELEASE Paris, 1st of July 2011
Comments on recent press articles
Following press articles published in the last few days mentioning a possible share capital restructuring as well as the reactions of its reference shareholder VERBUND AG (46%), and considering the important movements since then on the stock price. POWEO S.A. would like to precise the following:
The company confirms to have the knowledge that preliminary strategic contacts have been
· engaged by its main shareholder, and has been partially associated to those ; Nevertheless
POWEO S.A. has no decision-making power on those initiatives which are primarily led by its main shareholders.
Considering the financial surface needed by the nature and the actual environment of its
· activities, the company considers that NOME law’s recently announced implementation modalities make the presence in its capital of a reference shareholder necessary to secure
POWEO S.A. development on the long term.
The company will inform the market on any significant development that could occur at its best
· knowledge.
The company points out that it is listed on Alternext and that the sale of a stake lower than
· 50% does not trigger a mandatory offer.
