Vestas receives request for scrutiny

Aarhus, Denmark, 2013-01-14 08:38 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 

A Vestas Wind Systems A/S shareholder has requested that the company’s Annual
General Meeting, taking place on Thursday 21 March 2013, decides that a number
of issues come under scrutiny and that an independent auditor to carry out the
scrutiny will be appointed at the Annual General Meeting. The request for
scrutiny has been made by Deminor, Avenue Edmond Van Nieuwenhuyselaan 6 b. 8,
1160 Brussels, Belgium, who states that they own one Vestas share. The received
request is attached hereto. 

The Board of Directors will recommend the shareholders to vote against the
request for scrutiny as it concern issues which have already been fully
reviewed or otherwise are being investigated by the Board. In the opinion of
the Board, additional investigations will be unnecessary and only obstruct the
work of the Board and impose needless costs on the company. 

Convening for Vestas Wind Systems A/S’ Annual General Meeting will be published
at the company’s website on 25 February 2013.
