1. Risk Factors

On page 3 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors" the risk factor "Financial Risks - Risk related to Changes in Interest Rates" shall be replaced by the following:

"Risk related to Changes in Interest Rates

Key factors influencing the present value of nuclear power and pension provisions are interest and inflation rates.

Discount rate applied to pension provisions: There is a general risk due to any change in the discount rate applied to the pension provisions because the present value of the pension provisions falls when the discount rate increases and increases when the discount rate falls. At the end of the 2019 financial year, the discount rate decreased from the previous year to 1.1 % from 1.8 %. As of 30 June 2020, the discount rate was 1.00%, which was down 0.1 percentage points on the rate at the end of 2019.

The occurrence of such risks could have material adverse effects on the ratings of EnBW. There is a risk that the rating agencies will downgrade the credit rating of EnBW due to the aforementioned negative impact on the financial position. In the case of a downgraded rating and a deterioration in capital market conditions, it is possible that this will result in increased refinancing costs and additional liquidity requirements."

2. Risk Factors

On page 7 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors" the risk factor "Regulatory / Political Risks

  • Risk related to Changes in Regulation" shall be replaced by the following:

"Regulatory / Political Risks

Risk related to Changes in Regulation

EnBW and its operations are subject to significant regulation and supervision by various regulatory bodies, including German municipal, state, federal and European Union ("EU") authorities. This affects the following segments in the respective areas:

  • Incentive regulation (Anreizregulierung) regarding the Grids segment, and
  • German Renewable Energies Act (Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz, ("EEG")) regarding the Generation and Trading segment.

Any material adverse change in the aforementioned regulation may result in increased operational and administrative expenses and thus may adversely affect earnings for the EnBW Group, the EnBW Group's balance sheet and net debt.

This also applies to the application and interpretation of the aforementioned regulations. In addition, in the existing planning of the dismantling costs for nuclear power plants, it was assumed that the so-called"self-supply entitlement" can be used for the electricity supplied to the blocks during the post-operation and dismantling stages. Therefore, the costings for the consumption of electricity do not contain any EEG cost allocations. There is a risk that the self-supply entitlement cannot be applied, which will result in increased dismantling costs. This may have material adverse effects on the net assets and may lead to lower earnings."

3. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ENBW ENERGIE BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG AG

On pages 133 et seqq. of the Prospectus in the section "GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ENBW ENERGIE BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERGAG" the sub-section "Alternative Performance Measures (APM)" shall be replaced by the following:

"Alternative Performance Measures (APM)

This Prospectus contains non-IFRS measures and ratios, including those listed below, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS as adopted by the EU or the accounting standards of any other jurisdiction. The non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should be considered together with the Issuer's IFRS results. Non- IFRS measures and ratios are not measurements of the Issuer's operating performance or liabilities under IFRS as adopted by the EU and investors should bear this in mind when considering non-IFRS measures as alternatives to operating profit or profit for the year or other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU or any other generally accepted accounting principles, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities or to liabilities. Investors should rely on the Issuer's IFRS results, supplemented by its non-IFRS measures, to evaluate the Issuer's performance.

The Issuer presents non-IFRS measures to measure operating performance, the level of net debt and as a basis for its strategic planning and forecasting, as well as monitoring the retained cash flows. The Issuer also believes that non-IFRS measures and similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of operating performance and financial standing. The Issuer's non-IFRS measures are defined as follows:

The "Adjusted EBITDA" describes operational earnings figures (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) that are adjusted for items related to non-operating effects ("Non- Operating EBITDA"). These effects include effects that cannot be predicted or cannot be directly influenced by EnBW.
