______________
1    As a result of E.ON's on*top comprehensive corporate strategy commenced in
2003, E.ON completed or is expected to complete a number of intra-Group
transfers of shareholdings in its holding company system. Among these
transactions was the transfer by E.ON Energie AG ("E.ON Energie"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of E.ON, of its 100 percent interest in E.ON Nordic (formerly,
E.ON Scandinavia) to E.ON, including its indirect 55.2 percent interest in
Sydkraft.

2    In October 2001, E.ON Energie concluded a put option agreement which allows
Statkraft SF to sell any or all of its shares in Sydkraft to E.ON Energie at any
time through December 15, 2007.
