Significant events to be reported: Final Settlement in Case no. 7591/2/2018* with the National Regulatory Authority for Energy (ANRE)

Electrica informs its investors and shareholders that, on 12 February 2026, the High Court of Cassation and Justice, dismissed the appeal filed by Electrica in case no. 7591/2/2018*, having as object: (i) the annulment of ANRE President's Order no. 168/2018; (ii) requiring ANRE to issue an order establishing a value of regulated rate of return (RRR) equal to the set by ANRE Order no. 75/2020; (iii) requiring ANRE to recognise, within the regulated revenues of the initial claimants SDEE TS, SDEE TN, SDEE MN (currently Distributie Energie Electrica Romania S.A. - DEER), the difference between the RRR value approved by the challenged order and the value approved by ANRE under Order no. 75/2020, and to include such amounts in the tariff calculation for the year following the final settlement of the dispute.

We mention that, on merits, the court partially admitted the statement of claim filed by Electrica and its subsidiary, DEER, annulled ANRE President's Order no. 168/2018 and dismissed the remaining claims. Against this solution, Electrica filed the appeal referred to in this current report, seeking the partial quashing of the challenged decision and, upon re-hearing of the case, the admission in full of the statement of claim as filed and subsequently specified.
