Energie Burgenland AG has just announced that its corporate
bodies have today decided to recommend to the shareholders' meeting of the
company scheduled for 21 March 2017 to pay a dividend out of net profits
for the financial year 2015/16 of EUR 21 million in aggregate, which
represents a one-time increase over the prior year of 10%.

The results of Burgenland Holding Aktiengesellschaft are largely dependent
on the results of Energie Burgenland AG in which it holds a
49% interest. Burgenland Holding Aktiengesellschaft therefore expects to
recognize a proportionate dividend payment of EUR 10.29 million (2015/16
EUR 9.31 million) for the 2016/17 financial year. For subsequent years,
Burgenland Holding Aktiengesellschaft expects Energie Burgenland
AG intends to recommend dividend payments (if any) at
historic levels to its corporate bodies for approval.
