[Correction of German headline only]
E.ON SE today concluded an agreement with innogy SE to work together to
integrate innogy into the E.ON Group. This agreement is concluded against
the background that in March E.ON agreed to acquire a 76.8-percent stake in
innogy SE from RWE AG and made a voluntary public takeover offer, which runs
until July 25, to acquire additional innogy stock.
To the degree legally permissible, today's agreement calls for innogy to
help E.ON implement the transaction swiftly by supporting it in matters such
as obtaining regulatory approvals and taking the steps necessary to carve
out innogy businesses. In addition, the two parties intend to work together
on issues relating to change of control. Furthermore it was agreed to
collaborate early in a joint project to prepare to integrate innogy business
units into the E.ON Group.
Finally, E.ON and innogy agreed on a number of principles and on a fair and
transparent selection process for filling leadership positions. These
supplement existing and planned collective-bargaining mechanisms to provide
social safeguards for employees.
Due to necessary regulatory approvals, E.ON's acquisition of innogy is not
expected to close before mid-2019.
