DONG Energy appoints two new Executive Vice Presidents

Samuel Leupold, 42, has been appointed as new Executive Vice President
of the business area Wind Power. He will be taking over from Henrik
Poulsen, who, since his appointment as CEO of DONG Energy, has also been
Executive Vice President of Wind Power.

Samuel Leupold is Swiss and comes from the position as Executive Vice
President with the Swiss energy company BKW FMB Energie. He is a
qualified engineer and holds an MBA from INSEAD in France. He has
previously worked for Bühler, McKinsey and ABB Power Generation. He will
take up his new post on 4 March 2013.

Henrik Poulsen says of the appointment of Samuel Leupold as new
Executive Vice President of Wind Power:

"I am absolutely delighted that Samuel Leupold will be joining the team.
With his extensive leadership experience from the energy sector,
including especially in the management of large energy projects, he has
the ideal credentials to head the continued development of our
market-leading position in offshore wind."

There will also be a change in the management of the business area
Energy Markets. Henrik Poulsen says:

"We are faced with the major task of having to enhance Energy Markets'
earnings and develop its business. In that connection we want Energy
Markets to be headed by a new team. Kurt Bligaard Pedersen, Executive
Vice President, is therefore leaving DONG Energy by mutual agreement. I
would like to thank Kurt for his significant contributions in DONG
Energy and wish him good luck in the future."

Morten Hultberg Buchgreitz, 45, has been appointed as new Executive Vice
President of Energy Markets. He comes from the position as Senior Vice
President of Group Treasury & Risk Management in DONG Energy. He has
also been filling the role as Acting Executive Vice President of Wind
Power since March 2012. He will take up his new post on 4 March 2013.

Carsten Krogsgaard Thomsen, Group CFO, will also be taking on the role
of Executive Vice President of Energy Markets on a temporary basis from
today and until 4 March 2013.

Henrik Poulsen says of the appointment of Morten H. Buchgreitz as new
Executive Vice President of Energy Markets:

"Both as head of Group Treasury & Risk Management and during his time as
day-to-day head of Wind Power, Morten H. Buchgreitz has demonstrated
that he has the skills we require in our work on developing Energy
Markets. He knows DONG Energy inside out, he is a competent leader, and
he has extensive insight into market conditions. His appointment to DONG
Energy's Group Executive Management is a well-deserved recognition of
his contribution so far to the company's development."

Energy's previous financial guidance for the 2012 financial year or the
announced expected investment level.
