On 21 January 2016 the 87th Annual General Meeting of EVN AG passed a
resolution in respect to the authorisation to buy back EVN's own shares
amounting to a maximum of 10% of the company's equity capital:
Resolution in respect to the authorisation to be granted to the Executive
Board in accordance with § 65 (1) line 4 of the Austrian Stock Corporation
Act to acquire its own zero par value bearer shares in the company for the
purpose of issuing them as stock options to employees of EVN or an
affiliated company, or, a buyback without purpose as stipulated in § 65 (1)
line 8 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, amounting in total to 10% of
the share capital of EVN AG, for a period of 30 months beginning on the day
the resolution is approved. The number of shares which can be acquired in
one day is limited to a maximum of 25% of the average daily trading over
the previous 20 days of trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange. The lowest
nominal value to be paid per share is the share price on the last day of
trading before the day on which the share is bought back less a 20%
deduction, whereas the highest price to be paid is the share price on the
last day of trading before the day on which the share is bought back
including a 10% additional charge. Furthermore, the Executive Board is
authorised to withdraw these treasury shares without a further resolution
of the Annual General Meeting. This authorisation replaces the
authorisation granted to the EVN Executive Board by the 85th Annual General
Meeting held on 16 January 2014 to buy back own zero par value bearer
shares.
