   which is callable at par on the first interest reset date, 26 June 2023,
   and to proactively manage Ørsted’s hybrid capital portfolio. Today, Ørsted
   is also inviting holders of these securities to tender their holdings for
   purchase by Ørsted – see separate company announcement relating to the
   Tender Offer.

   Proceeds from the issuance will be allocated to investments into renewable
   energy projects in accordance with Ørsted’s green finance framework, which
   has a second opinion with a Dark Green shading from Cicero
   ( 1 https://orsted.com/en/Investors/Debt/Green-Financing).

   Ørsted is rated Baa1, stable outlook, by Moody’s, BBB+, stable outlook, by
   Standard & Poor’s, and BBB+, stable outlook, by Fitch. Ørsted’s new green
   hybrid capital securities are expected to receive the rating of Baa3 by
   Moody’s, BB+ by Standard and Poor’s, and BBB- by Fitch.
