Today’s 81st Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of the EVN Group resolved to distribute a dividend amounting to EUR 0.37 per share for the 2008/09 financial year, the same as in the previous financial year.

Authorised capital
The Executive Board is granted authorisation, within five years after the registration of the relevant amendment to the Articles of Incorporation in the company register, to increase the authorised capital of the company by up to EUR 30,000,000, in one or more tranches, by issuing up to 16,352,582 non-par value bearer shares against a contribution in cash and/or in kind, as and to fix the volume of the capital increase, the offering price and the terms of the issue, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, inasmuch as the Executive Board ensures that the shareholding in EVN AG held by NÖ Landes-Beteiligungsholding GmbH does not fall below the level of 51%, even after the capital increase.

EVN’s Climate-Neutral Annual General Meeting in 2010
Today’s Annual General Meeting is being carried out in a climate-neutral manner for the first time in the company’s history. All CO2 emissions arising as a result of the mobility required to attend as well as the energy used within the framework of the meeting will be calculated and neutralised by means of purchasing and then cancelling ecologically high-value emission reduction certificates derived from recognised and certified climate protection projects. EVN AG is being supported in this project by ClimatePartner Austria.
