Electrica informs the investors and shareholders that, in the current epidemiological context, all the companies within the Group have adopted a plan of special measures in order to ensure a smooth running of the operations and the continuity in the supply of electricity, as well as for the protection of its clients, employees and partners.

The existing resilience plan at the Group level has been updated promptly to respond to the exceptional situation at the national level and to limit a potential expansion of Covid-19. Prevention and protection measures have been implemented in all areas in which the Group's employees operate. At the moment of this announcement's release, no positive cases of Covid-19 were registered at Electrica Group's level.

At the same time, considering that on 29 April 2020 Electrica's Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (OGMS) will take place, in order to limit the risk of contamination of the shareholders with Covid-19, the Company encourages the use of methods of indirect interactions, online or by phone, to solve the various requests.

In this regard, the following electronic means of communication are made available to Electrica's shareholders:

• the documents regarding the items on the agenda of the OGMS can be accessed online, on the Company's website (www.electrica.ro), using the dedicated section for the OGMS dated 29 April 2020;
• the questions regarding the items on the OGMS's agenda, as well as the questions regarding other aspects of Electrica's activity, may be sent at the email [e-mail], with incorporated extended electronic signature;
• considering the actual context as well as the near date on which Electrica's OGMS is scheduled, the Company encourages the shareholders to cast their votes by correspondence, by duly filling in, signing, and transmitting the voting ballot form for voting by correspondence, either by post or courier services, or by e-mail with incorporated extended electronic signature, in compliance with the requirements mentioned in the convening notice, at the e-mail address [e-mail].

We continue to closely monitor the evolution of the situation at national level, permanently adapting the measures plan. We put at the center of our actions the health of our investors, shareholders, clients, partners and employees, by strictly implementing all the measures and recommendations issued by the authorities.
