The following information was filed by CEZ, a. s. in Czech language with the
Prague Stock Exchange as required by its rules and regulations:
Jiri Borovec has been appointed Vice-Chairman of the CEZ Board of Directors.
Tomas Pleskac has been appointed as new Director.
Today, Mr. Tomas Pleskac has been elected by the Supervisory Board as a new
Director of CEZ. He has replaced Radomir Lasak, who has joined the CSA
management. Mr. Jiri Borovec, who has been a Director since October 2004 and who
concurrently holds the position of Head of CEZ Production Division, has become a
new Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Since May 2004, Tomas Pleskac has been the head of the largest integration
project undertaken in the Czech Republic to change the structure of the CEZ
Group to a holding. The VIZE 2008 integration project is to result in the
reorganization of the entire CEZ Group from the current regional structure to a
functional structure, and also in operational synergies and major financial
benefits. As part of the project, the commercial and distributional sections of
the business have been separated from the regional distribution companies and
contributed to the new companies, CEZ Prodej and CEZ Distribuce. A number of
supporting activities have also been transferred to the shared services centers
(subsidiaries) for the entire CEZ Group (e.g. information system,
telecommunications, management of consumption meters, customer service,
breakdown service and network maintenance, purchase and logistics, real estate
management, etc. ). Other services, such as finances, human resources, risk
management and communications are provided centrally by CEZ, thus giving effect
to the new structure of the CEZ Group.
Present Composition of Board of Directors of CEZ:
Martin Roman - Chairman and General Manager
Alan Svoboda - Vice-Chairman and Head of Trading Division
Jiri Borovec - Vice-Chairman and Head of Production Division
Daniel Benes - Director and Head of Purchase Section
Tomas Pleskac - Director and Head of Integration

plant management in Japan, and internationally accredited studies at the Prague
International Business School, where he obtained his MBA degree.
He joined CEZ after a short stay at Komercni banka, a. s. (where he focused on
loans to large and mid-sized companies, development project review, company
financing). During his nine years of work at the Dukovany Power Plant, he held
the position of deputy head of economics and trade. From January 2003, he spent
four months in the new distribution section of CEZ, which was preparing the
integration of CEZ and regional power companies. From 2003, he worked as a
