On 7 September 2015 the State Owned Energy Sector Companies Corporate

its shareholder - Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania. The
Guidelines establish common principles of corporate governance, determine the
purpose, objectives, the organisation model, management structure, as well as
reporting, supervision and control system of the group of companies, including
AB Amber Grid. 

Planned changes in EPSO-G group's management structure include forming the
Supervisory Board and Management Board, as well as two committees, reporting to
the Supervisory Board - Audit Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee. 

In order to ensure that the entire EPSO-G group is managed in accordance with
the highest international standards and best corporate governance practices, as
well as focusing on the high level of transparency, efficiency,
professionalism, sustainability and accountability, the Supervisory Board,
Management Board and Audit Committee of UAB EPSO-G are planned to include at
least 8 independent members. Independent members should be a majority in the
Management Board of UAB EPSO-G (3 out of 5 members to be independent members). 

After the formation of the above-mentioned collegial bodies of the holding

functions to be redistributed between the Audit Committee reporting to UAB
EPSO-G Supervisory Board and AB Amber Grid internal auditor; c) the composition
of AB Amber Grid Management Board planned to be changed to consist of five
members, including one independent member. 

Such changes aim to strengthen the management and supervision of subsidiaries
from the top level. This will be done by moving some of the supervision and
management functions to higher level and implementing top level management and
supervision through UAB EPSO-G. Listed changes in UAB EPSO-G management
structure are expected to be implemented by the end of the year. Thereafter,
the changes in AB Amber Grid management and supervisory structure are planned
to follow and are expected to be completed in 2016 first quarter. 

The Guidelines, as the planning document, define the directions for completing
the process of forming UAB EPSO-G groups' management model. Specific decisions
on the implementation of the above mentioned changes would be adopted by AB
Amber Grid in accordance with the legal requirements after all AB Amber Grid
shareholders have taken necessary decisions.
