Harwood Feffer LLP Encourages Investors Who Have Losses in Excess of $100,000 From Investment in Vestas Wind Systems A/S To Inquire About the Lead Plaintiff Position in Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Before the May 19, 2011 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

Harwood Feffer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Vestas Wind Systems A/S ("Vestas" or the "Company") (PINKSHEETS: VWDRY) (PINKSHEETS: VWSYF) from October 27, 2009 through October 25, 2010, inclusive (the "Class Period").

No class has yet been certified in the above action. Class members will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than May 19, 2011 and be selected by the court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You are not required to have sold your shares to seek damages to serve as a Lead Plaintiff. You may contact the Harwood Feffer LLP website (http://www.hfesq.com) or Samuel K. Rosen, directly, at srosen@hfesq.com to ask any questions you may have in that regard.

The Complaint charges Vestas and certain of its officers and directors violated federal securities laws. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose: (i) Vestas had improperly accounted for its revenue by failing to timely adopt the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee’s Interpretation 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate (“IFRIC 15”), a new accounting standard effective January 1, 2010; and (ii) defendants failed to account for the effect of IFRIC 15 in determining Vestas’ financial outlook and as a result they lacked a reasonable basis to provide financial guidance for 2010.

On August 17, 2010, Vestas downwardly revised its 2010 financial outlook for revenue and earnings, admitting that hundreds of millions of Euros of wind system contracts expected to be recognized in 2010 would have to be deferred, causing the Company’s securities to fall 22.5%. On October 26, 2010, Vestas admitted that it had failed to adopt IFRIC 15 and as a result its 2010 financial statements would likely require correction. On this news, Vestas’ securities fell 10%.
