1. Risk Factors

On page 3 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors with regard to the Issuers - Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group", sub-section"Financial Risks" the risk factor "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.

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. As of 30 June 2022, the discount rate was 3.35% in comparison to 1.15% at the end of 2021.

The future development of interest rates could have a negative impact on net debt and thus an impact on EnBW's key performance indicator debt repayment potential.

"

2. Risk Factors

On page 4 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors with regard to the Issuers - Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group", sub-section"Financial Risks" the risk factor "Margins and Liquidity Risk" shall be replaced by the following:

"

Margins and Liquidity Risk

The EnbW Group's liquidity planning is subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, especially with respect to margin payments. Sharp increases in prices and high volatility in energy trading on the commodity markets (EEX/ICE) have led to high cash inflows and outflows as part of margining processes which are beyond the normal margin requirements. This effect is currently being exacerbated by the Russia - Ukraine Conflict, which has noticeably increased price movements and volatilities. There is a material level of risk for 2022 with an impact on EnBW's net debt and thus on EnBW's key performance indicator debt repayment potential.

"

3. Risk Factors

On page 4 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors with regard to the Issuers - Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group", sub-section"Political / Regulatory Risks" the risk factor" Political risk from the Russia - Ukraine Conflict" shall be replaced by the following:

"

Political risk from the Russia - Ukraine Conflict

Throughout 2021, the Russian military build-up along the border of Ukraine has escalated tensions between Russia and Ukraine and strained bilateral relations. On 24 February 2022, Russia commenced a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Following the invasion of Ukraine, the EU and countries like the United States, UK, Switzerland, Canada, Japan, Australia and some other countries imposed a broad set of sanctions against Russia (hereinafter, the "Russia - Ukraine Conflict"). The imposition of sanctions could lead to unpredictable reactions from Russia particularly resulting in a disruption of gas supplies to the EU. High volatility in commodity prices could lead to unforseeable developments in EnBW's liquidity position, especially due to margin payments. Additionally, any disruptions of gas supplies will most likely lead to even higher gas prices in Germany and there is a risk that EnBW may not be able to pass on higher costs to the customers.

There is currently a high level of regulatory and political uncertainty in the implementation of the Energy Security Act (Energiesicherungsgesetz - "EnSiG"). In connection with this, there is also uncertainty in the following areas: funding of renewable energies, expansion of the grid, the future of the gas infrastructure and expansion of electromobility. There are risks associated with any change to the legal regulations that have a bearing on EnBW. Due to the greater level of uncertainty, mainly as a result of the Russia - Ukraine Conflict (e.g., deficit in gas supplies, purchasing of replacement coal), the risks could increase.

If any of the above risks materialises, this could have a material adverse effect on EnBW's business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

"

4. Risk Factors

On page 5 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors with regard to the Issuers - Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group", sub-section"Market Risks" the risk factor "Risks to the procurement and supply chain in the sales environment" shall be replaced by the following:

"

Risks to the procurement and supply chain in the sales and sustainable generation infrastructure segment

Unexpected price spikes are being experienced on the spot markets for procurement at the moment. EnBW holds reserve supplies for B2C customers and thus has to act as a last resort provider of electricity for customers if their supplier cannot provide them with electricity anymore. Insolvencies of other energy suppliers could therefore pose a financial risk if more customers than expected have to be provided with a basic supply of energy at higher procurement prices.

Due to the protracted COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the Russia - Ukraine Conflict and increasing inflation, unplanned price increases and exceptionally long delivery times in certain cases, especially for materials and supplies are expected.

These procurement and supply chain risk could have a negative impact on EnBW's key performance indicator adjusted EBITDA in 2022 and 2023 and thus an indirect impact on EnBW's key performance indicator debt repayment potential via the retained cash flow.

"

5. Risk Factors

On page 5 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors with regard to the Issuers - Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group", sub-section"Market Risks" the risk factor "Power and Fuel Price Risk" shall be replaced by the following:

"

Power and Fuel Price Risk

EnBW Group both operates power plants for the generation of electricity (upstream business) and supplies customers (downstream business) with electricity. The electricity generated is sold to the wholesale market and electricity for the supply of retail customers is purchased from the wholesale market. Fuels for the generation (including hard coal and gas) are purchased as well in the wholesale market. Additionally, the EnBW Group entered into long term supply contracts and may take positions (long and/or short) for the respective commodities in the market. These decisions are partly based on forecasts of future developments and the related demand for energy.

A significant deviation of any, or a combination of the assumptions from the EnBW Group's projections, may have a significant effect on earnings, net assets and might lead to an increase in net debt of the EnBW Group. Hence 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 additional liquidity requirements in the form of increased refinancing costs.

At TransnetBW, high market prices for fuels and electricity and increased load flows have resulted in increasing expenses for redispatching and the grid reserve. This development has also been exacerbated by the Russia - Ukraine Conflict. Any increased expenses in 2022 will be recovered again from 2025 through regulation. At the same time, the higher expenses are being offset to some extent by revenue from congestion management. This could have a negative impact on the key performance indicator adjusted EBITDA in 2022. This will have an indirect impact on the key performance indicator debt repayment potential via the retained cash flow and on the key performance indicator value spread via the adjusted EBIT.

"

6. Risk Factors

On page 6 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors with regard to the Issuers - Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group", sub-section"Operational Risks" the risk factor "Possible consequences of the Russia - Ukraine Conflict in the trading sector" shall be inserted:

"

Possible consequences of the Russia - Ukraine Conflict

There are risks associated with replacement purchases due to price volatility and uncertainties with respect to potential compensatory mechanisms which will be subject to deductibles. These risks together with cuts in supply and possible changes in supply quotas are all especially relevant to VNG, which is impacted by two gas supply contracts. In addition, there are risks involved with the transport, storage and distribution of natural gas. Furthermore, a ban on gas-fired generation stemming from the Substitute Power Plant Maintenance Act (Ersatzkraftwerkebereithaltungsgesetz) could pose a risk for power plant distribution. The potential damage is mainly attributable to two gas supply contracts that are affected by the restrictions in supply.

Russia's attack on Ukraine could further have a material impact on the grid infrastructure, such as on the operation of the gas grid and on the supply chain (required raw materials and grid construction materials).

This would have an impact on the key performance indicator adjusted EBITDA in 2022 and thus an indirect impact on EnBW's key performance indicator debt repayment potential via the retained cash flow.

"

7. Risk Factors

On page 6 of the Prospectus in the section "Risk Factors with regard to the Issuers - Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group", sub-section"Operational Risks" the risk factor "Credit risk in energy trading" shall be inserted:

"

Credit risk in energy trading

There is a risk that trading partners will fail to fulfill their financial obligations or be unable to fulfill them on time. This can impact the key performance indicator adjusted EBITDA for 2022 and thus an indirect impact on EnBW's key performance indicator debt repayment potential via the retained cash flow.
