invitation to tender existing hybrid capital bonds for repurchase

DONG Energy today resumes its intention to issue, subject to market conditions,
new callable subordinated capital securities due 3010.

The issue of the new securities will be pursued to strengthen the capital
structure and to further secure the capital structure targets. The net proceeds
of the new securities will be used for refinancing existing indebtedness
including hybrid capital and for general corporate purposes.The issue of new
securities is intended to be at least benchmark size.

At the same time DONG Energy hereby announces a conditional invitation to all
holders (subject to regulatory offer restrictions as provided for in the Tender
Offer Memorandum) of its outstanding EUR 1.1bn callable subordinated capital
securities due 3005 (ISIN: XS0223249003) to tender any or all (subject to the
Maximum Acceptance Amount as provided for in the Tender Offer Memorandum) of
their existing bonds for repurchase for cash.

Details on pricing and the contemplated time schedule are included in the
Tender Offer Memorandum.

It is currently contemplated that the tendered amount to be accepted will be
sized to ensure that the total outstanding principal amount of hybrid capital
remains at least equal to the current outstanding amount of EUR 1.1bn, but
below EUR 1.6bn.

The tender offer is subject to the successful completion of the issue of the
new hybrid capital bonds.


Prospectus for the new issue will be filed with the CSSF (the financial
supervisory authority of Luxembourg) for approval.
