    NORD STREAM 2: BACKGROUND, OBJECTIONS, AND POSSIBLE OUTCOMES STEVEN PIFER APRIL 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nord Stream 2 is an almost-finished natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. The Biden administration opposes it and has come under congressional pressure to invoke sanctions to prevent its completion, in large part because the pipeline seems a geopolitical project targeted at Ukraine. The German government, however, regards the pipeline as a “commercial project” and appears committed to its completion, perhaps in the next few months. U.S. sanctions applied on Russian entities to date have failed to stop Nord Stream 2, raising the question of whether the U.S. government would sanction German and other European companies for servicing or certifying the pipeline. Such sanctions would provoke controversy with Germany at a time when both Berlin and the Biden administration seek to rebuild good relations. The two sides have work to do if they wish to avoid Nord Stream 2 becoming a major point of U.S.-German contention. THE PIPELINE The European Union currently imports about 40% of its natural gas from Russia, or about one-third Nord Stream 2 is actually a pair of natural gas of its total gas consumption.4 Gazprom began pipelines that, if/when completed, will run some discussions with European companies on a direct 1,200 kilometers along the bottom of the Baltic Russia-Germany gas pipeline in 2001.

    INVESTOR RELEASE Q4 AND FULL YEAR 2020 RESULTS: STRONG PERFORMANCE DESPITE DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENT Date: Page: 24.02.2021 IR-21-03 1 of 3 Kassel/Hamburg. Wintershall Dea, Europe’s leading independent gas and oil company, today reported its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 results. Mario Mehren, Wintershall Dea Chairman & CEO, says: “2020 was undoubtedly a difficult year for everybody and I’m proud of the way that Wintershall Dea responded to the challenge. We took early and decisive actions at the beginning of the pandemic to keep our colleagues safe and to ensure continuity of operations which have allowed the company to end an extremely challenging year in a strong position. We delivered our key targets for the year, including annual production of 623 mboe/d and exited the year with strong operational momentum and record production of more than 650 mboe/d in the 4th quarter. Recognising that our industry needs to change – and that we want to be leading that change – in November we announced our energy transition pathway and targets. Looking ahead, 2021 will certainly be a year with continued high levels of uncertainty as well as volatility, and while we remain cautious, we look forward to an exciting year." Full-year 2020 Summary: • Annual production of 623 mboe/d at the higher end of original guidance underpinned by solid operating performance and record production level in Q4 2020 of 654 mboe/d; • Financial results impacted by low commodity prices with free cash flow of €159 million, operating cash flow of €1,604 million and EBITDAX of €1,643 million; • Record low underlying production cost of €3.5 /boe; • Production and development capex of €1,237 million in line with the revised guidance; • Reduced net debt to €5.5 billion with €2.2 billion of liquidity including €821 million of cash; Wintershall Dea GmbH IR contact Press contact Friedrich-Ebert-Str.
