In today's meeting of the supervisory board, BEWAG's management board
recommended to the company a dividend payout for the 2009/10 business year
at half the level of the previous year (2008/09: EUR 11.0 m, 2009/10: EUR
5.5 m), and BEWAG's supervisory board followed that recommendation. For
this reason, the investment income, and thus the profit for the first six
months as well as for the year for 2010/11, of Burgenland Holding AG, which
holds a 49% stake in BEWAG, will be markedly below last year's levels.
Burgenland Holding AG's performance is determined essentially by the
dividends it receives from BEWAG and BEGAS. The recommended dividend of the
associated company BEGAS for 2009/10 will remain unchanged from last year.
   
Burgenland Holding AG recommends to AGM dividend of EUR 2.15 for 2009/10,
unchanged from previous year

For the past 2009/10 business year, the management board of Burgenland
Holding recommends to the AGM distributing to shareholders a dividend of
EUR 2.15 per share, viz. unchanged from the previous year.
