Energijos Skirstymo Operatorius AB (hereinafter – the Company), identification
code 304151376, registered office placed at Aguonu str. 24, Vilnius, Republic
of Lithuania. The total number of registered ordinary shares issued by company
is 894 630 333; ISIN code LT0000130023. 

On 30 November 2016, the National Commission for Energy Control and Prices
(NCECP) (hereinafter referred to as the “Commission”) set the prices for
connecting to the natural gas systems by private clients. 

Next year, residents wishing to have natural gas connection installed and
natural gas supplied to their dwellings or other premises will have to pay
16.64% more for every meter of the pipeline laid, EUR 13.67 instead of EUR
11.72 (excluding VAT). The price for connecting to gas pipelines whatever the
distance will increase by 13.61%, to EUR 228.12 (excluding VAT). 

Natural gas launch services inclusion into connection fees - one of the reasons
that contributed to the change of prices. Until now, residents planning to use
gas for premises and water heating had to order two services separately - the
connection to the natural gas systems and gas launch into the customer system
services. In this way, customers had to make two payments - for connection to
the pipeline works, and the gas launch into the customer system. As of 2017
residents for this service will be able to pay in one payment. 

These rates will apply from 1 January 2017.

The rate for connecting to gas pipelines is calculated to every business or
public sector client individually in accordance with the Methodology for Fixing
Prices for Connection approved by the Commission.
