The person named in that capacity assumes the chairmanship of the Bondholders' Meeting, pursuant to the terms of the trust deed (the 'Trust Deed') entered into on 24 May 2018 between the Company and BNY Mellon Corporate Trustee Services Limited, as trustee of the Bondholders, and the powers granted to him by the Board of Directors of the Company;

The Chairman recalls that:

= today's Bondholders' Meeting is being held - in accordance with the provisions of art. 106 of Decree Law no. 18 of 17 March 2020, converted into Law no. 27 of 24 April 2020, on "Measures to strengthen the National Health Service and economic support for families, workers and businesses related to the epidemiological emergency by COVID-19 - Extension of deadlines for the adoption of legislative decrees" and subsequent extensions - exclusively by audio-video conference connection on the Cisco Webex Meetings platform;

= this platform ensures both the identification of those attending today's meeting and their simultaneous connection with the other participants in the meeting and enables them to

take part in the discussion and vote simultaneously on the items on the agenda;

and therefore declares and acknowledges that: = that the Company has issued, on the basis of a resolution of the Board of Directors taken on 9 May 2018 the non-convertible bond EUR 750,000,000 8.5 Year Non-Call Capital Securities due 2081" (ISIN: XS1714463559)(the "Bond" or the "Bonds"), the terms and conditions of which have been established by a specific decision of the Chief Executive Officer on 11 May 2018; = today's Bondholders' Meeting was duly convened at this place, at 6 p.m. on today's date, in a single call, by means of a notice published on 23 October 2020 on the Company's website (www.enel.com) in the 'Investors' section, on the website of the Irish Stock Exchange (www.ise.ie), disseminated through the regulated information dissemination system known as 'eMarket SDIR' and transmitted to the authorised storage mechanism known as 'eMarket Storage' and distributed to Bondholders through the Euroclear Bank SA/NV B ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, S.A.

= the subject matter of the proposed resolution submitted to today's Meeting is the approval of certain amendments to the terms and conditions of the Bond - highlighted in the document that the Chairman is giving to me and that I attach under letter A) to these minutes, in which all deleted words are struck out and the insertions underlined, in order to simplify the identification of the amendments themselves;

= these amendments were previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at the meeting held on 17 September 2020 (recorded in the minutes on the same date by the Nicola Atlante, Notary Public in Rome, repertory no. 61942, folder no. 31947, registered in Rome 5 on 18 September 2020 under no. 9062, series 1T, with exemption pursuant to Italian Presidential Decree No. 601 of 1973, registered in the Companies' Register on 21 September 2020);

In light of the above, the Chairman declares this Meeting to be duly constituted and able to pass resolutions on the proposals on the agenda.

Before moving on to the discussion of the only item on the agenda, the Chairman explains the operating procedures for the conduct of today's Meeting.

In particular, the Chairman informs that:

  • In order to ensure the orderly conduct of Meeting's proceedings and not to excessively lengthen their duration, the Chairman intends to predetermine a limit of 5 minutes as the maximum duration of interventions and a limit of 2 minutes as the maximum duration of replies;

  • the interventions will take place according to the order in which the requests are submitted by the parties entitled to do so;

  • at the end of the interventions, answers to the Bondholders' requests will be provided, subject to any suspension of the meeting for a limited period of time;

  • the personal data of the participants in the Meeting are collected and processed by the Company exclusively for the purposes of carrying out the obligatory Meeting and corporate requirements, in accordance with the privacy policy made

available on Enel's website (www.enel.com), in the "Investors" section.

The Chairman then begins to address the only item on the agenda of today's Meeting and proposes to omit reading the text of the entire notice of call, which illustrates the proposed amendments submitted to today's Meeting, which has already been published in accordance with the law, limiting himself to a reading of the resolution proposal in view of the fact that all of the information documents have already been made available to Bondholders within the terms set out in the Bond documentation.

As there are no objections, the Chairman submits the following resolution proposal to the Bondholders' Meeting for approval: <<<<<<< "The Bondholders' Meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders (the "Bondholders") of the bonds denominated EUR 750,000,000 8.5 Year Non-Call Capital Securities due 2081" (ISIN: XS1714463559) (the "Bonds"), issued by ENEL S.p.A.
