The Issuer announces that Anglian Water Services Limited
(“AWS”) and its shareholders have undertaken a full review

Redetermination of Anglian Water’s business plan for the same
period (further details of which can be found in the company’s

committed to reduce total gearing in order to maintain its current
solid investment grade credit ratings. This will ensure it has a
sustainable and efficient capital structure in the interest of
customers and investors, the environment and long-term viability.
The Issuer expects to make a further announcement in due
course.
