——————————————————————————
E.ON confirms that it is considering its options regarding a possible takeover
offer for Scottish Power Plc. E.ON notes the very strong rise in Shottish
Power’s share price since the announcement of the intended disposal of
PacifiCorp and considers that it reflects a substantial element of bid
speculation. No approach has been made to the Board of Scottish Power and
there can be no assurance that a transaction will be forthcoming. If any offer
is made it’s likely to be in cash.
