Olulise osaluse kavandatavad muutused

Message

AKTSIASELTS   TALLINNA   VESI   teavitab  kavandatavatest  muudatustest  olulise
osalusega aktsionäride struktuuris.

3. veebruaril  2021, Tallinna Linn ja United Utilities (Tallinn) B.V. teavitasid
AKTSIASELTSI  TALLINNA VESI, et Tallinna  Linn, United Utilities (Tallinn) B.V.,
United Utilities PLC ja Osaühing Utilitas sõlmivad  aktsiate müügilepingu, mille
kohaselt  United  Utilities  (Tallinn)  B.V.  müüb  kokku 7,060,870 AKTSIASELTSI
TALLINNA  VESI  A-aktsiat  võrdsetes  osades  Tallinna  Linnale  ja  Osaühingule
Utilitas   hinnaga  14,20 eurot  aktsia  ("Tehing").  Tehingu  tulemusel  kuulub
Tallinna  Linnale 10 469 565 AKTSIASELTSI TALLINNA  VESI A-aktsiat ja 1 B-aktsia
(mis   esindavad   [52,35%]  AKTSIASELTSI  TALLINNA  VESI  aktsiakapitalist)  ja
Osaühingule  Utilitas  kuulub  530 435 AKTSIASELTS  TALLINNA VESI (mis esindavad
[17.6%] AKTSIASELTSI TALLINNA VESI aktsiakapitalist).

Aktsiate   müügileping   jõustub   tervikuna   alates   hetkest,   kui  Tallinna
Linnavolikogu  Tehingu  heaks  kiidab.  Tehingu  lõpuleviimise tingimuseks on ka
Eesti  Konkurentsiametilt loa  saamine. Tehingu  lõpetamine toimub eeldatavasti
2021. aasta märtsis.

Pärast  Finantsinspektsioonilt vastavate kooskõlastuste  saamist teevad Tallinna
Linn  ja Osaühingu  ühise kohustusliku  ülevõtmispakkumise AKTSIASELTSI TALLINNA
VESI   vähemusaktsionäridele   kuuluvate   aktsiate   osas.   Ülevõtmispakkumise
tingimused   avaldatakse   pärast   seda,   kui   Finantsinspektsioon   on  need
kooskõlastanud.

AS  Tallinna  Vesi  juhatuse  hinnangul  ei oma müügilepingu sõlmimine ettevõtte
äritegevusele  ega majandustulemustele otsest olulist mõju, kuna ettevõte jätkab
tavapärast  majandustegevust ning muudatusi  müügileping teenuse osutamisesse ei
too.

Ostja  Utilitas  on  Eesti  suurim  kaugkütteettevõte  ja taastuvenergia tootja.
Ettevõte  haldab  550 km  kaugküttetorustikku  ning  varustab soojusega 174 000
kodumajapidamist  kaheksas Eesti  linnas -  Tallinnas, Maardus,  Keilas, Raplas,
Haapsalus,  Kärdlas,  Jõgeval  ja  Valgas.  Utilitas tootis 2020. aastal 1,7 TWh
soojus-  ning 394 GWh  elektrienergiat. Utilitase  konsolideeritud müügitulu oli
2020. aastal  127 miljonit eurot ning varade  maht 386 miljonit eurot. Ettevõtte
omanikeks  on European Diversified  Infrastructure Fund II  (85%), mille varasid
juhib First Sentier Investors ja OÜ Utilitas juhtkonnaliikmete ettevõtted (15%).

Käesoleva  teate seisuga omab ostja Tallinna Linn 6 939 130 Tallinna Vee aktsiat
ja ostja OÜ Utilitas ei oma Tallinna Vee aktsiaid.

AS Tallinna Vesi annab edaspidi täiendavat infot, selle saamisel.

Contemplated changes in substantial shareholding

Message

AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI informs about the contemplated changes in the
structure of shareholders with substantial shareholdings.

On 3 February 2021, the City of Tallinn and United Utilities (Tallinn) B.V.
informed AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI that the City of Tallinn, United Utilities
(Tallinn) B.V., United Utilities PLC and Osaühing Utilitas are entering into a
share sale and purchase agreement whereby United Utilities (Tallinn) B.V. sells
in total 7,060,870 A-shares in AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI to the City of Tallinn
and Osaühing Utilitas in equal parts at a price of 14.20 euros per share (the
"Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction, the City of Tallinn will hold
10,469,565 A-shares in AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI and 1 B-share (representing
[52.35%] of the share capital of AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI) and Osaühing
Utilitas will hold 530,435 A-shares in AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI (representing
[17.6%] of the share capital of AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI).

The share sale and purchase agreement shall take effect in its entirety as of
the approval of the Transaction by the Tallinn City Council. The completion of
the Transaction is also subject to the receipt of the approval of the Estonian
Competition Authority. The estimated completion of the Transaction shall take
place in March 2021.

Following the receipt of the necessary approvals from the Financial Supervision
Authority, the City of Tallinn and Osaühing Utilitas will jointly undertake a
mandatory tender offer in respect of shares held by minority shareholders of
AKTSIASELTS TALLINNA VESI. Terms of the tender offer shall be announced once
approved by the Financial Supervision Authority.

According to the Management Board of AS Tallinna Vesi the conclusion of the
share sale and purchase agreement does not have a material impact on the
business activities nor the economic results of the Company as the Company will
continue carrying out its usual business activites and the share sale and
purchase agreement does not bring about the changes to the provision of its
services.

The buyer Utilitas is the largest district heating company and producer of
renewable energy in Estonia. The company manages 550km of district heating
pipelines and supplies heat to 174 000 households in eight Estonian cities -

Utilitas produced 1,7 TWh of heat and 394 GWh of electricity. Utilitas'
consolidated sales revenue in 2020 was 127 million euros and the volume of
assets was 386 million euros. The company is owned by the European Diversified
