The  following  information  was filed by CEZ,  a.s. in Czech  language with the
Prague Stock Exchange as required by its rules and regulations:

CEZ concluded its first coal supply contract for 2003 - with GEMEC - UNION, a.s.

At its meeting held on December 20, 2002,  the Board of Directors of CEZ decided
to file an appeal  against  the  decision  of the Office for the  Protection  of
Economic  Competition  (UOHS) in respect of the  concentration of CEZ and
the regional  energy  distributors.  CEZ is filing the appeal due to a number of
formal  and  legal  insufficiencies,  and,  in  particular  due to the fact that
UOHS has not decided whether the  concentration  of CEZ and  distributors
involves public aid, and due to the fact that the terms and conditions issued by
the  UOHS  in its decision are at variance with a resolution of the Board
of Directors of CEZ dated June 11, 2002,  which is binding on the  management of
CEZ, and which was based on a decision of the Government of the Czech  Republic.
CEZ is to deliver the appeal to UOHS through its counsel on Monday, December 23,
2002.

CEZ and the mineral  development  company OKD have concluded a contract on power
supply for next year;  OKD has thereby  become the  largest end  customer of CEZ
(excluding the regional  distributors)  that is to offtake "Rainbow Energy." The
contract is for almost 1 TWh. OKD has thus become the largest  company to change
its supplier since the market opened to competition.
