WESTINGHOUSE SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVES COURT ORDER FOR TENDER RELATED DOCUMENTATION

CAPE TOWN, September 5, 2014 -- Westinghouse Electric Company announced today that it has been successful in obtaining an order in the Gauteng Local Division of the High Court in South Africa obliging Eskom to produce within five calendar days all relevant documents leading up to and forming the basis of Eskom's decision to award the tender for the replacement of steam generators at the Koeberg nuclear power plant to Areva.  This order includes the production of documents which Eskom may contend to contain confidential or commercially sensitive information and a mechanism was provided in the Court order for the production of such documents. 

The production of all relevant documentation relating to the tender will place Westinghouse in a strong position to proceed with its intended course of action to review Eskom's decision.
