Elliott Statement on RWE AG

LONDON, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited ("Elliott," or "we"), which advises funds that together have an economic interest of close to 5% in RWE AG ("RWE" or "the Company"), today issued the following statement:

"We welcome RWE's decision to reduce its 2025-2030 investment programme by €10 billion, or 25%, while also implementing stricter investment criteria, raising return targets, and accelerating its farmdown strategy. These measures represent an important first step towards more disciplined capital allocation. However, we share the market's disappointment with the lack of clarity regarding the Company's commitment to enhance shareholder returns. Given the announced capex reduction and RWE's persistent undervaluation, we believe there is a compelling opportunity to significantly increase and accelerate the ongoing share buyback programme. We look forward to continuing our constructive dialogue with the Company."
