RNS Number : 2174F  Eesti Energia AS  21 May 2026

NOT FOR PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO PERSONS
LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES (WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT) OR TO ENTITIES IN CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION WHICH PROHIBITS THE SAME EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE
LAW.

Eesti Energia AS yesterday successfully priced a EUR 300 million five-year
senior green bond offering (the "Notes"), marking a strong return to the
international debt capital markets following its last capital markets
transaction, a hybrid issuance completed in 2024, also in green format. The
transaction comes post the group's recent reorganisation, finalised last year,
which saw Eesti Energia re-integrate Enefit Green, resulting in a consolidated
company improving its synergies potential and contributing positively to its
credit profile.

The Notes were offered and sold to non-U.S. persons outside the United States
as defined in, and in reliance on, Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act
of 1933, will settle on 28 May 2026 and mature on 28 May 2031. The bonds carry
a fixed coupon of 4.600%, equivalent to a spread of MS+170bps. The Notes are
expected to be rated Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by Fitch, in line with the
issuer's ratings, and will be listed on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange. An amount equivalent to the net proceeds will be allocated to
finance and/or refinance certain new or existing eligible green projects in
accordance with the issuer's Green Financing Framework published in April
2026.

Marlen Tamm, CFO of Eesti Energia, said the following about the transaction:
"We are delighted with the outstanding reception of our return to the senior
bond market, which follows the successful reorganisation of the group and the
recent move to a stable outlook by Moody's. The outcome is a strong
endorsement of Eesti Energia's credit story. We are particularly pleased to
have meaningfully broadened our international investor base, and we thank all
of our partners and investors for their trust."

The transaction was launched in the morning with initial price thoughts
("IPTs") of MS+200bps area, before being tightened to MS+175bps area on the
back of strong investor traction, and ultimately priced at MS+170bps -
representing 30bps of compression from IPTs. Demand peaked at approximately
EUR 1.9 billion, reflecting an oversubscription ratio of around 6.3x on the
EUR 300 million print, and underlining the quality of the credit story
presented to investors.

Notably, this transaction meaningfully broadened Eesti Energia's investor
base, with approximately 150 accounts participating in the final orderbook.
The broad distribution underscores the renewed confidence of the international
fixed income community in Eesti Energia's strategic direction, its green
transition agenda, new revenue streams, and amended investments programme.

Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE acted as Global Coordinator on the transaction,
with AS LHV Pank acting as a Joint Lead Manager.
