Enexis Holding N.V. By: For acknowledgement [•] By: AMS6396602/27 154623-0030 5557 Schedule 9 Valuation Framework Premise of value 1. The premise of value is fair value, which is defined as: ‘ The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date’. 2. The valuation analysis is performed from a ‘stand -alone’ perspective of Enexis.

This means the value of Enexi s, capable of operating independently, with no application of any strategic and synergic effects and/or control premiums that potential purchasers may be willing to pay for. 3. In the valuation analysis also a ‘going concern’ state of Enexis is assumed, in which the business is expected to continue to operate for an indefinite time into the future without materially changing its operations. Framework assumptions 4. The valuation analysis will include a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) analysis and Building Block ana lyses ( bouwstenenmethode) as primary valuation methods. 5. The most recent long term financial plan of Enexis, excluding potential future acquisitions, mergers or exchanges of assets or shares, is used as a basis for the valuation analysis. 6. Any potential over - or underperformance, in terms of operational expenses (OPEX) or investments (CAPEX), of Enexis relative to ‘efficient benchmark’, as meant in the regulatory framework applicable to Enexis, is assumed to be temporary. This implies that i t is assumed that Enexis will operate as an efficient DSO at the end of the explicit forecast period. 7. The explicit forecast period will cover the projection period of the most recent long term financial plan of Enexis, but not less than two regulatory peri ods (currently 2x five years = 10 years).

The value beyond the explicit forecast period, the terminal value, should be a proper reflection of the expected future sustainable cash flows of Enexis. 8. The regulatory assumptions in regulatory periods after the c urrent regulatory period are equivalent to the regulatory assumptions in the current regulatory period, unless the most recent long term financial plan of Enexis contains a projection of these assumptions and / or the Authority for Consumers & Markets (“AC M”) issued draft or final decisions on future regulatory assumptions. 9. The discount rate applied in the DCF analysis should reflect the current market assessment of risk of Enexis and the time value of money, and may therefore deviate from the regulatory WACC as determined by ACM. 10. The calculated value of the business of Enexis (the enterprise value) will be adjusted for the market value of net -debt (and non -operating assets and liabilities) in order to calculate the market value of the shares (the equity value). 11. No premiums or discounts will be applied to the market value of shares to take into account the liquidity of the Enexis shares, transactions costs, etc. AMS6396602/27 154623-0030 5657 12.
