39E.ON Bonds Our Investors
Investors have lent us over 27 billion
since 2007. Naturally, they want to know
how we're doing.
We understand our investors' information require-
ments. Because we invest billions, too, and can
appreciate that people want to monitor their
investments carefully.
Our aim is to provide our creditors with the highest
degree of transparency. One of the ways we achieve
this is by conducting annual non-deal roadshows
in major European financial centers during which
we present an update on E.ON and its strategy and
answer questions. These events also create oppor-
tunities for personal contact. This is important,
because finance isn't just about numbers but to a
large degree also about trust.
In addition, we hold regular non-deal investor
conference calls, organize informational events
for our core banks, and offer detailed debt-related
information on our website. And we can always be
reached by phone or by e-mail if bond investors
need answers to specific questions.
Creditor relations also involves our interaction
with rating agencies. Investors are very interested
in E.ON's credit rating as an independent assess-
ment of our financial stability and capacity to repay
our debt on time. E.ON is rated by Moody's and
Standard & Poor's, with whom we have a long-
standing relationship of trust.
Bond investors are interested in many of the
same topics as shareholders. They want to know
about our strategy and prospects for the future in
order to gauge our operating strength. Because
we're familiar with the information requirements
of existing and potential bond investors, we can
give them the details they need to make well-
founded investment decisions.

Bonding with our investors:
Non-deal roadshow visits European financial centers
As a frequent debt issuer in recent years, E.ON conducts
an annual non-deal roadshow instead of a deal road-
show before each benchmark bond issue. Our 2009
roadshow was held in September and took us to three
major European financial centers: Paris, London, and
Frankfurt. These events give us the opportunity to
provide debt investors with detailed information about
E.ON, to talk personally to a large number of them,
and to respond to their questions. To stay in close
contact with the many investors who couldn't attend
the annual roadshow, we held two debt investor
conference calls in 2009. The calls provide bond inves-
tors and analysts with an update on E.ON's financial
highlights and strategy and give them the chance to
ask questions about specific topics.
