has shown these two tranches. Our company maintains a strong liquidity and
redemptions for this year are quite limited. The funds raised will be used for
further strengthening of our liquidity position and for the investments
program” comments Mr. Carsten Krogsgaard Thomsen, Chief Financial Officer at
DONG Energy.
