Today, Ørsted A/S (the Company) announces the result of the rights issue (the Offering) of new shares of nominally DKK 10 each (the New Shares) with pre-emptive rights (the Pre-emptive Rights) for the Company's existing shareholders (the Existing Shareholders) at a subscription ratio of 15:7 and subscription price of DKK 66.60 per New Share pursuant to the prospectus dated 15 September 2025 (the Prospectus). For a description of the Offering, reference is made to company announcement no. 19 of 15 September 2025.
A total of 894,298,680 of the New Shares (equivalent to approximately 99.3 %) have been subscribed for by Existing Shareholders through the exercise of their allocated Pre-emptive Rights or by other investors through the exercise of acquired Pre-emptive Rights, including that 451,522,164 of the New Shares (equivalent to approximately 50.1 %) have been subscribed for by the Danish State pursuant to its subscription commitment. Demand for the remaining shares has been extraordinarily high and has exceeded the number of New Shares not subscribed for by exercise of Pre-emptive Rights. On this basis and to accommodate the Company's large and diversified shareholder base, the Company's Board of Directors has resolved to allocate the remaining shares as follows: All orders for remaining shares up to 22,446 New Shares will receive full allocation. Orders for remaining shares exceeding 22,446 New Shares will receive an allocation of 22,446 New Shares. As a result of the demand for remaining shares, no New Shares are subscribed for by the bank syndicate under their underwriting commitment.
