NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN OR OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE SUCH A PUBLICATION COULD BE UNLAWFUL

RWE Aktiengesellschaft („RWE") has decided to increase its share capital through partial utilization of its authorized capital under the exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights from EUR 1,573,748,477.44 by EUR 157,374,845.44 to EUR 1,731,123,322.88. The 61,474,549 new common bearer shares were placed, following an accelerated bookbuilding process with institutional investors, and are entitled to the dividend for fiscal year 2020.

The shares were sold at a placement price of EUR 32.55 per share resulting in gross proceeds of around EUR 2 billion  before deduction of commissions and expenses. The net proceeds from the capital increase are planned to be invested in additional short-term capacity build-out, enhancements of pipeline and in further visible mid- and long-term growth opportunities in renewables on top of the company's ambition to grow its renewables portfolio to more than 13 gigawatts (GW) net and to invest some EUR 5 billion net by the end of 2022. Parts of the proceeds will be used to finance the planned acquisition and realisation of the 2.7 GW project pipeline from Nordex as announced on 31 July 2020.

Admission of the new shares for trading in the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and in the regulated market of the Duesseldorf Stock Exchange is expected to take place without a prospectus on 20 August 2020. Trading is expected to commence on 21 August 2020. It is intended to include the new shares in the existing listings of the company's shares. The delivery of the new shares is scheduled for 24 August 2020. Following the private placement, RWE will be subject to a lock-up, i.e. an obligation not to, inter alia, issue further shares or financial instruments convertible into shares or to conduct a further capital increase, of 90 days, subject to market standard exemptions.
