Legal basis: Article 17 (1) of MAR - inside information

The Management Board of Energa SA (_quot;Company_quot;, "Energa") informs that, on 5 December 2023 Fitch Ratings (_quot;Agency_quot;, _quot;Fitch_quot;) affirmed the Company's long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'BBB+' with a stable outlook.

- the Company's foreign-currency long-term senior unsecured rating: 'BBB+',

- the Company's long-term rating of subordinated debt: 'BBB-'

and long-term senior unsecured rating for the bonds issued by the Company's subsidiary Energa Finance AB (publ): 'BBB+'.

The Agency also affirmed the Company's standalone credit profile at 'bbb-' due to, among others, the Energa Group's solid business profile, with a focus on predictable regulated electricity distribution business.
