1 Investment Research General Market Conditions 10 June 2013 DONG Energy Hybrid exchange offer at significant discount Today DONG Energy announced that it has abandoned its plans to change the prospectus of the call 2021 hybrid. Instead DONG will be making an exchange offer giving new NC10 hybrids in exchange for the current hybrids. The exchange offer implies a redemption price of 104, which marks a significant discount compared to the closing price last week. DONG states that if it fails to grind enough exchange acceptance, the company will use its right to call the remaining outstanding call 2021 s at 101 plus accrued interest. This is of course very negative for the call There could also be some negative spill over to the other DONG bonds, as the company could suffer from angered investors parting with their DONG positions and because DONG will now see more debt-like hybrid on its balance sheet. S&P, however, today affirmed the BBB+ rating with negative outlook. We recommend investors to accept the exchange offer, while we maintain our HOLD recommendation on all remaining DONG bonds. DONG decides to abandon efforts to change prospectus DONG Energy today announced that it has decided to abandon its efforts to change the call 2021 hybrid prospectus. In April DONG announced that it would seek to change the prospectus in order to maintain its high equity treatment of its hybrid from S&P. This follows the agency s changed requirements for 100% equity treatment. Among other things, this meant that DONG would have to change the final maturity on the bonds from 3021 to perpetuity. DONG would need to persuade Danish tax authorities that a perpetual hybrid should still be classified as a bond and subsequently be allegeable for coupon tax deductions. Today DONG announced that the process of changing the law around the tax treatment would likely be a very lengthy and uncertain process, which would probably lead to DONG s hybrid having its 100% equity treatment removed. DONG also states that it has gotten the impression from S&P that the agency will be very strict in its acceptance of hybrids with 100% equity treatment going forward. DONG interprets that, even if it was successful in changing the prospectus to satisfy the formal requirements, the Group would still be at risk of losing the 100% equity treatment if management gave indications that DONG could consider a redemption before first call. Subsequently DONG will not accept to hold a hybrid on its balance sheet with such inherent uncertainty around the future equity treatment from S&P. For more information around the methodology change from S&P see DONG Energy: New non-financial hybrid methodology, 3 April. DONG gives exchange offer for existing call 2021 The failure to change the prospectus means that DONG will formally be allowed to call the outstanding call 2021 s at a cash price of 101 plus accrued interest (accrued interest is minimal given that DONG has recently paid coupon). However, DONG has decided to offer existing holders to exchange its hybrids into new NC10 hybrids to be issued by DONG. The conversion rate will give investors new bonds in the ratio 1.04 to 1. Effectively this means that the value of exchange offer corresponds to a price of roughly 104. This marks a significant discount compared to the last closing price of 110. DONG states that the new NC10s to be issued will qualify for 50% equity treatment from S&P and will mimic structures that are currently in line with prevailing market standards.

2 They will not have mandatory coupon deferral but only optional deferral. The new hybrids will go from 50% equity credit to 0% after first call date, making it very likely that DONG will call them at DONG will seek to raise at least EUR500m. The new hybrids will get Baa3, BB+ and BBB- from Moody s, S&P and Fitch. DONG will announce the minimum spread of the new hybrids on 13 June and the exchange offer expires on 18 June, when the final new issue spread will be announced. DONG to offer cash tender offer to retail investors Following the expiration of the exchange offer period, DONG will on 20 June give a cash tender offer for the call 2021 at a cash price of 104. This tender offers only applies to amounts below EUR250,000 and as such is targeted to be an offer for retail investors. Please note that DONG has recently paid coupon on the hybrid and therefore the foregone accrued interest component from the call price is minor. DONG has also announced that if it fails to redeem or exchange all the outstanding call 2021 s, DONG reserves the right to redeem the remaining outstanding call 2021 s at a cash price price of 101. Rationale behind tender price of 104 DONG told us that the exchange price of 104 is set in an effort to share the pain with investors from S&P s methodology change. Just prior to S&P s methodology change announcement on 2 April 2 the call 2021 s traded just north of 108. Given that DONG now has the right to redeem the hybrids at 101, DONG found 104 to be a fair middleway price to share the pain with investors. In a month s time, when DONG has taken out the outstanding 100% equity treated call 2021 s and partially or fully replaced them with new 50% equity treated hybrids, it will have at least EUR350m of additional adjusted debt on its balance sheet. In isolation this would mean an adjusted net debt to LTM EBITDA metric of 6.4x instead of 6.1x based on our adjusted Q1 13 numbers. However, last week s announcement of an additional DKK1.5bn in extra EBITDA from an increased stake in the huge Ormen Lange gas field means that DONG s metrics are unlikely to be worse off when combining these two events. S&P shares this view and today the agency affirmed DONG s senior rating at BBB+ with negative outlook. Recommendation Today s announcement is a disappointment. We had thought that DONG would be successful in changing the prospectus. DONG gave the impression that it would be able to do so in its communication in April. The high price of the call 2021 s (+110 in cash price) before this announcement indicates that the market shared our optimism. DONG gave the impression that it would look out for its investors and one could have hoped for an exchange offer closer to the pre-announcement market price, or an announcement that DONG would try to change the prospectus on the call 2021 to allow for 50% equity treatment. We note that it would probably be hard for DONG to be excessively generous to investors, as management would then have to explain to Danish tax-payers why it is using public money to over-compensate bond investors. We fear that scorned investors could decide to part with other DONG bonds partially due to disappointment in the company and partially because of the increased adj. net debt position on the balance sheet. We think that excess negative price movements in DONG s other bonds would mark a buying opportunity as S&P has affirmed the rating of DONG following today s loss of 100% equity credit, and since we expect DONG to continue to be successful in its deleveraging trends. Please refer to our DONG Energy Q1 13 comment, 22 April, for more on our fundamental view on DONG. Overall we maintain our HOLD recommendation on DONG, while we suspend our previous HOLD recommendation on the call 2021 s, recommending investors to accept the exchange offer June 2013
