1 The 2020 figure has been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take into account the effects of the differing classification resulting from the measurement at fair value, at the end of the period, of outstanding contracts for the purchase and sale of commodities settled by physical delivery; this different classification did not have any effect on EBIT.
Moreover, for comparative purposes only, a reclassification from financial income to revenues was made, for an amount of 87 million euros, of the component recognized in the income statement related to the remeasurement at fair value of financial assets related to service in concession of distribution activities in Brazil falling within the scope of IFRIC 12. This last classification had an effect of the same amount on EBIT.
2 For comparative purposes only, the figure for 2020 has been adjusted due to the different classification mentioned above concerning the application of IFRIC 12 in Brazil.

Francesco Starace, Enel Group CEO, stated: "Enel's results for 2021 once again demonstrate the resilience and sustainability of our business model even in an increasingly complex scenario, characterized on the one hand by signs of post-pandemic recovery and on the other by the negative impacts of increasing fossil fuel prices. It is now clear that utilities have a key role in managing the rapid changes in the energy sector, and this is the direction in which our strategy is heading, focusing on decarbonization and electrification. In this way, we can seize opportunities along the entire value chain and at the same time contribute to energy independence in the countries where we operate. It is therefore key to accelerate investment in renewables, which provide a stable, secure and competitive source of energy and, together with the digitalization of networks and electrification of consumption, represent the solution to combat climate change. The validity of our strategy allows us to maintain our commitment to distribute a growing dividend to shareholders, based on a simple and transparent policy."
Rome, March 17th, 2022 - The Board of Directors of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel" or the "Company"), chaired by Michele Crisostomo, approved the 2021 results at today's meeting.

3 The 2020 figure has been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take into account the effects of the differing classification resulting from the measurement at fair value, at the end of the period, of outstanding contracts for the purchase and sale of commodities settled by physical delivery; this different classification did not have any effect on EBIT.
Moreover, for comparative purposes only, a reclassification from financial income to revenues was made, for an amount of 87 million euros, of the component recognized in the income statement related to the remeasurement at fair value of financial assets related to service in concession of distribution activities in Brazil falling within the scope of IFRIC 12. This last classification had an effect of the same amount on EBIT.
• Revenues in 2021 amounted to 88,006 million euros, an increase of 22,002 million euros (+33.3%) compared with 2020. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in revenues (i) from Thermal Generation and Trading in Italy, Iberia and Latin America as a result of higher volumes of electricity and gas sold and due to trading activities on commodities relating to contracts with physical delivery; (ii) from End-User Markets, due to the increase in the volumes of electricity sold, mainly in Italy; (iii) from Infrastructure and Networks, due to the greater volumes transported, as a result of the increase in the demand for electricity; (iv) from Enel Green Power, mainly in Italy, due to the greater volumes of energy produced, and in North America and Brazil following the entry into service of new plants; (v) from Enel X mainly in Italy and North America, due to services associated with new commercial initiatives and to demand response activities. The increase in revenues also includes the income, amounting to 1,763 million euros, resulting from the sale of the stake held in Open Fiber S.p.A. This increase in revenues more than offset the negative exchange rate trend mainly in Latin America.
Revenues in 2021 from thermal generation alone and included in the results of Thermal Generation and Trading amounted to 13,501 million euros, an increase of 5,984 million euros (+79.6%) compared with 2020. In particular, revenues from coal-fired generation in 2021 stand at 2.2% of total revenues. The percentage of revenues from coal-fired plants, following the company's strategic choices, is decreasing in line with the objectives of the fight against climate change.
• Revenues in 2021 and 2020 do not include any non-ordinary items.

EBIT in 2021 amounted to 7,680 million euros, a decrease of 775 million euros (-9.2%) compared to 2020. Specifically, the positive change in operations commented above was more than offset by: (i) higher depreciation and amortization recorded in 2021 as a result of the investments made, mainly in Italy and Spain and (ii) value adjustments recorded during the year (2,912 million euros), mainly relating to the generation assets in the non-peninsular territory in Spain and the plant in Brindisi in Italy, compared with the previous year.

| Group net income | 3,189 | 2,610 | 579 | +22.2% |
In 2021, Group net ordinary income amounted to 5,593 million euros, compared with 5,197 million euros in 2020, an increase of 396 million euros (+7.6%). The change is mainly attributable to: (i) the positive performance of the result from ordinary operations, (ii) the lower cost of debt and (iii) the lower noncontrolling interests in Enel Américas as a result of the Group's reorganization operations in Latin America. These factors were only partially offset by (i) the financial charges related to the early maturity of certain loans replaced by new bond issues at more advantageous interest rates and (ii) the higher impact of taxes, mainly due to the effects of the tax reforms in Argentina and Colombia and the adjustment of deferred taxation in Spain.
The financial position shows net capital employed at December 31st, 2021, including 280 million euros of net assets held for sale, equal to 94,294 million euros (87,772 million euros at December 31st, 2020). This amount is funded by:
− equity, including non-controlling interests, for 42,342 million euros (42,357 million euros at
December 31st, 2020);
− net financial debt for 51,952 million euros (45,415 million euros at December 31st, 2020). The increase in net financial debt of 6,537 million euros (+14.4%), is mainly attributable to: (i) capital expenditure in the period (13,1088 million euros), (ii) the payment of dividends related to the 2020 financial year totaling 5,0419 million euros, (iii) the acquisition of an additional stake in Enel Américas as a result of the voluntary partial tender offer concluded in April 2021 for 1,271 million euros, (iv) the increase in debt for leasing transactions (479 million euros), (v) payments and debt consolidation related to business combinations in Australia, Spain and Italy totaling 283 million euros and (vi) the adverse exchange rate effect of approximately 1,918 million euros.
The positive cash flow generated by operations (10,069 million euros) and the liquidity generated by the issuance, for 2,214 million euros, of a non-convertible subordinated perpetual hybrid bond, the reclassification of previously issued bonds as hybrid capital instruments due to the amendment of the related terms and conditions (967 million euros) and the effect on the consolidated net financial debt from the sale of the Open Fiber S.p.A. stake for 2,423 million euros, partially offset the financial needs associated with the abovementioned events.
At December 31st, 2021, the debt/equity ratio came to 1.23 (1.07 at December 31st, 2020). The change essentially reflected the increase in debt detailed above.

Capital expenditure amounted to 12,997 million euros in 2021, an increase of 2,800 million euros compared to 2020 (+27.5%). Specifically, in 2021 the Group recorded an increase in capital expenditure: (i) of Infrastructure and Networks mainly in Italy, Spain, Latin America and Romania, mainly for the installation of new Smart Meters, for quality remote control activities and for the "Grid Blue Sky" project; (ii) of Enel Green Power, mainly in Italy, the United States, Colombia, Chile, India, Spain, Peru, Brazil and Panama for new renewable generation plants, which more than offset the decrease of investments in South Africa, Mexico and Greece; (iii) of End-User Markets in Italy, Spain and Romania; (iv) of Enel X in Italy, in

1 It should be noted that net efficient installed capacity from renewables, also including managed capacity, amounted to 53.4 GW at December 31st, 2021 and 48.6 GW at December 31st, 2020.
2 The figure for 2020 was readjusted in 2021.
At the end of December 2021, the Group's total net efficient installed capacity amounted to 87.1 GW, an increase of 3.1 GW compared to 2020. The installation of new wind power capacity (+2.6 GW), mainly in Brazil (+0.8 GW), USA (+0.8 GW) and South Africa (+0.6 GW), as well as solar (+2.5 GW) mainly in Chile (+0.8 GW), USA (+0.6 GW), Iberia (+0.5 GW) and Australia due to the effect of the line-by-line consolidation of certain companies, previously accounted for using the equity method (+0.3 GW), more than offset the divestment of coal-fired plants for a total capacity of -2.0 GW in Italy and Iberia.
The net electricity generated by the Enel Group in 2021 amounted to 222.6 TWh10, an increase of 15.5 TWh on the value recorded in 2020 (+7.5%). Specifically, this reflects:
10 232.2 TWh including the output from around 3.3 GW of managed renewable capacity.
Generation from renewable sources, including volumes produced by managed capacity, far exceeded that from thermal generation, reaching 118.4 TWh (115.3 TWh in 2020, +2.8%), compared with thermal generation of 88.3 TWh (75.9 TWh in 2020, +16.3%).
Considering only the production from consolidated capacity, zero-emission generation comes to 60% of total generation of the Enel Group, while it is equal to 62% if managed generation capacity is also included11. The long-term objective of the Enel Group remains the achievement of 'Net Zero' by 2040, both relating to direct and indirect emissions.
Electricity transported on Enel Group distribution networks in 2021 amounted to 510.3 TWh, of which 226.7 TWh in Italy and 283.6 TWh abroad.
Volumes of electricity distributed in Italy increased by 12.3 TWh (+5.7%) compared to 2020, in line with the demand for electricity on the national grid (+5.6%). The percentage change in demand on the national market amounted to +4.7% in the North, +7.2% in the Center, +6.5% in the South and +3.9% in the Islands. The South and the Islands are mainly served by e-distribuzione; in the Center and North, other major operators account for a total of about 15% of volumes distributed.
Electricity distributed outside Italy amounted to 283.6 TWh, an increase of 12.7 TWh (+4.7%) versus 2020, with most of the increase posted in Spain (+6.6 TWh) and Brazil (+2.5 TWh).

In 2021, the Enel Group achieved the strategic objectives set for the year, confirming its delivery capabilities. In particular, the following progress was made in the Group's strategy:
Ordinary EBITDA and net ordinary income were at the higher end of the Group's guidance, increasing by 6.6% and 7.6% respectively;
Generation from renewable capacity was confirmed as the main driver of operational growth with 5,120 MW of new renewable capacity, including for the first time 220 MW of batteries, coupled with the progressive replacement of conventional generation plants with a reduction of 2 GW of coal-fired capacity;
The Group's simplification process continued through the increase of Enel's stake, up to 82.3%, in the share capital of Enel Américas.
With regards to shareholder remuneration, the proposed total dividend for 2021 is 0.38 euros per share, 6.1% higher than the dividend paid in 2020.

During 2021, there was a gradual uptake of vaccines against COVID-19, which enabled significant growth globally; in this context, the Group has recorded a solid recovery in operating indicators in terms of generation, distribution and sale of electricity to final customers. Specifically, during the year the Enel Group accelerated the construction of new renewable and storage capacity, with more than 5 GW of new capacity installed worldwide, which represents an absolute record for the Group, with an increase of more than 2 GW compared to 2020.
At the same time, the macroeconomic scenario was characterized by significant growth in the prices of raw materials, such as gas and coal, which have a direct impact on the price of electricity. The authorities in some European countries have therefore intervened in an attempt to mitigate the increase in electricity prices for final consumers, also through measures that penalize companies operating in the generation and sale of electricity.
In this context, the Group has demonstrated significant resilience thanks to its geographical diversification, its business model integrated along the value chain, a solid financial structure and a high level of digitalization, which was reflected in its economic and financial results of 2021.
In November 2021, the Group presented its new Strategic Plan 2022-24, as well as providing a view of its business evolution by 2030.
Specifically, the Strategic Plan focuses on four strategic lines:
Between 2021 and 2030, the Enel Group expects to mobilize capital expenditure totaling 210 billion euros, of which 170 billion euros invested directly by the Group (an increase of 6% over the previous Strategic Plan) and 40 billion euros catalyzed by the latter through third parties. As a result of this capital expenditure, by 2030 the Enel Group expects to:
− promote the electrification of consumption, increasing the volume of electricity sales by almost 30% while focusing on the development of beyond commodity services, such as public electric mobility or behind-the-meter storage, supported by partners.
The Group's strategic actions will aim to increase value for customers in the Business to Consumer ("B2C"), Business to Business ("B2B") and Business to Government ("B2G") segments, by increasing the level of electrification of these customers and simultaneously improving the services offered. In "Tier 1"12 countries, this targeted strategy, combined with capital expenditure on the asset base, is expected to lead to 2.6 times increase of the Group's integrated margin between 2021 and 2030, supported by a unified platform capable of managing the world's largest customer base among private operators.
In order to strengthen its client-centric strategy through platformization, in 2021 the Group created the Global Customers business line, today Enel X Global Retail, which is responsible for defining the commercial strategy and directing the allocation of capital towards customer needs, leveraging electrification while achieving excellent levels of service.
The refocusing of the Group will be accompanied by the simplification and rebalancing of its portfolio, through: (i) focus on "Tier 1" countries, (ii) resources made available through the disposal of assets no longer functional to the Group's strategy, and (iii) mergers and acquisitions deals aimed at improving positioning, acquiring skills or generating synergies.
The Group has brought its 'Net Zero' commitment forward by 10 years, from 2050 to 2040, for all emissions along the value chain. The Group plans to phase out thermal generation by 2040, replacing it with new renewable capacity as well as hybridizing renewables with storage solutions. In addition, it is expected that by 2040 the electricity sold by the Group will be entirely generated from renewables and by the same year the Group will exit the gas retail business.
As a result of the strategic lines described above, between 2020 and 2030, the Group's ordinary EBITDA is expected to grow by 5-6% in terms of a compound annual growth rate ("CAGR"), against a Group net ordinary income expected to increase by 6-7%, again in terms of CAGR.
12 Countries in which the Enel Group has an integrated or potentially integrated presence, namely Italy, Spain, Romania, the United States, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru.
With reference instead to the 2022-2024 Plan period, Group ordinary EBITDA is expected to reach 21.0- 21.6 billion euros in 2024, compared to 19.2 billion euros in 2021.

Enel's dividend policy for the 2022-2024 period remains simple, predictable and attractive. Shareholders are expected to receive a fixed dividend per share ("DPS") which is expected to grow by 13% from 2021 to 2024, to reach 0.43 euros/share.
In 2022, the Group will continue with:
− the acceleration of capital expenditure on renewable energies, especially in Iberia and North America, to support industrial growth and as part of the decarbonization policy adopted by the Group;
− a growth in capital expenditure on distribution networks, especially in Italy, with the aim of increasing the flexibility and resilience of these networks and further improving service quality;

Enel's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of May 20th , 2021 authorized the Board of Directors to purchase and subsequently dispose of the Company's treasury shares for eighteen months as from the date of shareholders' resolution. On June 17th, 2021, the Board of Directors, in implementation of this authorization, approved the purchase of treasury shares, for a number of shares equal to 1.62 million, equivalent to approximately 0.016% of Enel's share capital, to serve the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan reserved to top management of Enel and/or its subsidiaries pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code approved by the same Shareholders' Meeting of May 20th, 2021, pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Financial Act. Following the purchases made in execution of the aforementioned Board resolution, the Company purchased a total of 1,620,000 treasury shares, equal to approximately 0.016% of the share capital. Considering the treasury shares already held, as of today Enel holds 4,889,152 treasury shares, equal to approximately 0.048% of the share capital, while the subsidiaries do not hold any Enel shares.
In view of the persistence of the reasons justifying the aforementioned authorization granted by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of May 20th, 2021 and the approaching expiry date set by the latter, the Board of Directors has therefore deemed it appropriate to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting - convened, as indicated below, for May 19th, 2022 – the renewal of the authorization to purchase and subsequent disposal of treasury shares – subject to revocation of the previous authorization – to be carried out on one or more instalments, up to a maximum of 500 million ordinary shares of the Company, representing approximately 4.92% of Enel's share capital, for a total outlay of up to 2 billion euros.
The purchase and disposal of treasury shares is intended: (i) to offer shareholders an additional tool for monetizing their investment; (ii) to operate on the market with a medium and long-term investment view; (iii) to fulfil the obligations arising from the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan reserved to the top management of Enel and/or its subsidiaries pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code - which provides for a portion of the bonus, if accrued, to be paid in Enel shares and which will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting called for May 19th, 2022 - and/or from any other equity plans for Directors or employees of Enel or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (iv) to support the market liquidity of the Enel share in such a way as to favor the regularity of trading and to avoid irregular price fluctuations, as well as to regularize the trend of negotiations and quotations, against the temporary distortions linked to excessive volatility or low trading liquidity; and (v) to constitute a "securities warehouse" which may be used in the context of any extraordinary financial transactions or for other purposes deemed to be in the financial, managerial and/or strategic interest for Enel.
The purchase of treasury shares will be allowed for eighteen months from the date of the shareholders' resolution authorizing it; on the other hand, there is no time limit for the disposal of purchased treasury shares.
Purchases of treasury shares may be made at a price to be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the method chosen for carrying out the transaction and in compliance with any applicable regulatory provisions, as well as, where applicable, the accepted market practices in force pro tempore, it being understood that such price shall in any case not differ, either downwards or upwards, by more than 10% from the reference price recorded on the Euronext Milan market (formerly Mercato Telematico Azionario), organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., on the day preceding each individual transaction. The sale or other disposal of treasury shares in portfolio, on the other hand, shall take place in accordance with the terms and conditions established from time to time by the Board of Directors, in compliance with the limits that may be provided for by the laws in force, as well as, where applicable, by the accepted market practices in force pro tempore.
Purchases of treasury shares may be made according to one of the following operating modalities identified by Article 144-bis, paragraphs 1 and 1-bis of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulations: (i) by means of a public tender or exchange offer; (ii) on regulated markets or MTFs, in accordance with operating modalities set out in the rules for the organization and management of those markets, which do not allow direct matching of purchase offers with predetermined sale; (iii) by means of the purchase and sale of derivative instruments traded on regulated markets or multilateral trading facilities that provide for the physical delivery of the underlying shares, provided that the market's organizational and management rules establish trading arrangements for such instruments in line with the characteristics defined in Article 144-bis, paragraph 1, letter c) of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation; (iv) in the manner established by the market practices accepted by CONSOB pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014; (v) under the conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014.
The sale or other disposal of treasury shares may, on the other hand, take place in the manner deemed most appropriate by the Board of Directors and compliant with the interest of the Company and, in any
case, in accordance with the relevant applicable laws and, where applicable, with the accepted market practices in force pro tempore.

The Board of Directors has also convened the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting for May 19th, 2022, on single call, providing that - in order to minimize movements as well as gatherings in light of the continuing effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and taking into account the provisions on the conduct of company meetings in Article 106, paragraph 4, of Italy's Decree-Law no. 18 of March 17th, 2020 - the Shareholders' Meeting shall be held in such a way as to enable shareholders to intervene exclusively through the representative appointed by the Company as per Article 135-undecies of the Consolidated Financial Act, to whom shareholders may also grant proxies or sub-proxies pursuant to Article 135-novies of the same Consolidated Financial Act.
The Shareholders' Meeting was convened in order to:
The total dividend thus amounts to approximately 3,863 million euros, in line with the dividend policy for the 2021 financial year announced to the market, which envisages the payment of a fixed dividend for 2021 of 0.38 euros per share. In this regard, it should be noted that the Board of Directors, in its meeting of November 4th, 2021, resolved to distribute an interim dividend for the 2021 financial year equal to 0.19 euros per share, the payment of which was carried out as from January 26th, 2022, with the "ex-dividend date" of coupon no. 35 coinciding with January 24th, 2022 and record date (i.e., the date of the title to the payment of the dividend itself) coinciding with January 25th, 2022. In accordance with the law, treasury shares in Enel's portfolio on the latter record date did not participate in the distribution of the aforementioned interim dividend. As regards the balance of the dividend for 2021, equal to 0.19 euros per share, the Board of Directors has proposed a payment date as from July 20th, 2022, with the "ex-dividend date" of coupon no. 36 coinciding with July 18th, 2022 and record date coinciding with July 19th, 2022. In line with the legislation in force, treasury shares in Enel's portfolio at the record date indicated above will not be accounted for in the balance dividend.
5. Resolve upon the adoption of a long-term incentive plan ("Incentive Plan"), characterized by a three-year vesting period, which grants the relevant recipients a bonus consisting of a component in Enel shares and a monetary component, subject to and in proportion to the achievement of the following performance objectives over the 2022-2024 period: (i) Total Shareholders' Return ("TSR"), measured with reference to the performance of Enel's share compared with that of the Euro Stoxx Utilities - UEM index; (ii) ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) - WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital); (iii) GHG Scope 1 emissions per kWh equivalent produced by the Enel Group in 2024 ("GHG Scope 1 emissions"); (iv) percentage of women in top management succession plans at the end of 2024. In particular, the Incentive Plan – which assigns a weight of 50% to TSR, a weight of 30% to ROIC - WACC, a weight of 10% to GHG Scope 1 Emissions and a weight of 10% to the percentage of women in the top management succession plans at the end of 2024 - is aimed at the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and executives with strategic responsibilities of Enel, as well as managers of Enel itself and/or its subsidiaries pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code, as identified at the time of the assignment of the Plan. Moreover, the Plan, in view of the characteristics of its structure, the performance objectives identified, and the weight given to each of them, is aimed at reinforcing the alignment of management interests with the priority objective of creating sustainable value for shareholders over the long term.
For a detailed description of the Incentive Plan, please refer to the information document, drafted pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act and Article 84-bis of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation, which will be made available to the public in accordance with the law.
6. Adopt, with reference to the report on remuneration policy and compensations paid: (i) a binding resolution on the first section of the report itself, which illustrates Enel's policy on the remuneration of Directors, General Manager, Executives with strategic responsibilities and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the 2022 financial year, as well as the procedures used for the adoption and implementation of such policy; (ii) a non-binding resolution on the second section of the report itself, that describes the compensations paid to Directors, General Manager, Executives with strategic responsibilities and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the 2021 financial year.

("Open Fiber"), equal to 50% of the share capital, in favor of Macquarie Asset Management and CDP Equity S.p.A. ("CDPE"), following the fulfilment of all the conditions set out in the contracts entered into with them. Specifically, 40% of Open Fiber's capital was sold to Macquarie Asset Management for a consideration of approximately 2,199 million euros, of which approximately 79 million euros was a ticking fee, calculated from July 1st, 2021 until the closing of the transaction. This consideration includes the transfer of 80% of Enel's portion of the shareholders' loan granted to Open Fiber, including accrued interest, amounting to approximately 248 million euros. At the same time, CDPE was sold 10% of the capital of Open Fiber for a consideration of approximately 534 million euros, of which approximately 4 million euros was a ticking fee, calculated from November 1st, 2021 until November 30th, 2021. This consideration includes the transfer of 20% of Enel's portion of the "shareholders' loan" granted to Open Fiber, including accrued interest, amounting to approximately 62 million euros. The total consideration received by Enel therefore amounts to approximately 2,733 million euros, resulting in a capital gain recognition at Group level of approximately 1,763 million euros and an effect on consolidated net financial debt of approximately 2,423 million euros.
December 9th, 2021: Enel announced that a Noteholders' Meeting of the following subordinated nonconvertible hybrid bond issued by the Company (the "Bond") had been held in Rome:
• 900,001,000 euros maturing on May 25th, 2080 and an amount in circulation of 900,001,000 euros (ISIN: XS2000719992).
The Noteholders' Meeting approved the proposed amendments to the terms and conditions of the Bond, aimed at aligning them with the terms and conditions of the perpetual subordinated non-convertible hybrid bonds launched by Enel in 2020 and 2021. In particular, the approved amendments provide, inter alia, that (i) the Bond, originally issued with a specified long-term maturity date, shall become due and payable and shall therefore be repaid by the Company only in the event of its winding-up or liquidation; (ii) the events of default previously provided for in the terms and conditions and additional documentation governing the Bond are eliminated.
December 16th, 2021: Enel announced that the Board of Directors authorized the issuance by Enel, by December 31st, 2022, of one or more non-convertible subordinated hybrid bonds, including perpetual bonds, for up to maximum amount equal to 3 billion euros. These bonds are to be placed exclusively with European and non-European institutional investors, including through private placements.
In the same resolution, Enel's Board of Directors also revoked the previous resolution of February 25th , 2021 concerning the issuance of one or more bonds by the Company for the portion not yet implemented, amounting to approximately 0.75 billion euros, without prejudice to all effects arising from issues already carried out. The new issues aim to further strengthen the Group's capital and financial structure, and/or refinance Enel's hybrid bonds in circulation.
December 21st, 2021: Enel announced that it has signed, through Enel X International S.r.l. ("Enel X International"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enel X S.r.l.

("Ufinet") from Sixth Cinven Fund and the simultaneous sale of 80.5% of the Company's capital to Seventh Cinven Fund, in order to renew the existing partnership in Ufinet. Under this agreement, Enel X International will therefore retain an indirect 19.5% stake in the capital of Ufinet.
In line with the terms of the existing agreement with Sixth Cinven Fund, entered into in 2018, Enel X International - which indirectly holds the remaining approximately 21% of the Company's capital - will exercise its call option to acquire approximately 79% of Ufinet's capital for a consideration of 1,320 million euros. Under the new agreement, Enel X International will simultaneously receive approximately 140 million euros as a distribution of Ufinet's available reserves, a figure subject to potential adjustment upon closing and, at the same time, will sell 80.5% of the Company's capital to Seventh Cinven Fund for a consideration of approximately 1,240 million euros.
December 23rd, 2021: Enel and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. have announced that they have signed respectively through Enel's wholly owned subsidiary Enel X S.r.l.

("Mooney"), a fintech company operating in proximity banking and payment services. Specifically, Enel X will acquire 50% of Mooney's capital, while Banca 5, which holds 30% of Mooney's capital, will increase its shareholding to 50%, therefore creating joint control of Mooney by both parties. The agreement, which is based on an enterprise value of 100% of Mooney of 1,385 million euros, provides for the recognition at closing of a consideration by Enel X between 334 million and 361 million euros; this consideration consists of 220 million euros for the equity and a variable component linked to a price adjustment mechanism at closing. At the same time, Intesa Sanpaolo at closing will pay a consideration of between 88 million and 94 million euros; this consideration consists in turn of 88 million euros for the equity and a variable component linked to a price adjustment mechanism at closing. Following the closing, which is subject to various administrative approvals, all of activities related to Enel X's financial services business in Italy, marketed under the Enel X Pay brand, will be sold to Mooney. In particular, Enel X will sell to Mooney, for a consideration of 140 million euros, the entire share capital of Enel X Financial Services, CityPoste Payment and Paytipper (subject to Enel X exercising its call option to increase its shareholding in the latter company from the current 55%).

The issue is linked to the achievement of Enel's sustainable objective relating to the reduction of Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Scope 1), contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) and in compliance with the Group's Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework. The bond, guaranteed by Enel, was oversubscribed by approximately 2.5 times, totaling overall orders of approximately 6.6 billion euros and a significant participation of Socially Responsible Investors (SRI), allowing the Enel Group to continue to diversify its investor base.
The issue is structured in the following three tranches:

At 6:00 p.m. CET today, March 17th, 2022, a conference call will be held to present the results for 2021 and the progress of the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan to financial analysts and institutional investors. Journalists are also invited to listen in on the call. Documentation relating to the conference call will be available on Enel's website (www.enel.com), in the "Investor" section, from the beginning of the conference call. The Consolidated Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement of the Enel Group and the analogous financial statement formats of the Parent Company Enel, are attached hereto. It should be noted that these tables and the explanatory notes have been submitted to the Board of Statutory Auditors and to the external auditors for their assessments. A descriptive summary of the "alternative performance indicators" used in this press release is also attached.
The officer responsible for the preparation of the corporate financial reports, Alberto De Paoli, certifies, pursuant to Article 154-bis, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Financial Act, that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds with that contained in the accounting documentation, books and records.
The balance sheet figures at December 31st, 2021 exclude (unless otherwise indicated) values relating to assets and liabilities held for sale, attributable to certain renewable energy companies held for sale in South Africa and some Enel X companies in Italy.
The data reported and commented on above are therefore homogeneous and comparable in the two periods under comparison.
In order to improve the presentation of contracts entered into for the purchase or sale of commodities with physical delivery (which do not qualify for the "own use exemption") measured at fair value through profit or loss (within the scope of IFRS 9), the Group changed their presentation in the consolidated financial statements during 2021.
In particular, in 2020:
In 2021, the unrealized results of changes in the fair value of contracts to buy or sell energy commodities that were outstanding at the balance sheet date are recognized on a net basis in "Net results from commodity contracts".
The new presentation method constitutes a change in accounting policy, in accordance with "IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors".
Therefore, it was necessary to resubmit only for comparative purposes the income statement balances referring to previous periods, without impacting either the net result or the equity.
For a better representation, the economic component related to the remeasurement at fair value of financial assets related to services under concession falling within the scope of IFRIC 12, in 2021 it was reclassified from financial income to revenues from contracts with customers (IFRS 15) since it refers to the remeasurement at fair value of contractual assets.

This press release uses some "alternative performance indicators" that are not envisaged by the international accounting standards adopted by the European Union - IFRS-EU, but which management deems useful for the better evaluation and monitoring of the Group's economic and financial performance. With regard to these indicators, on April 29th, 2021, CONSOB issued the Warning Notice no. 5/21 making applicable the Guidelines issued on March 4th, 2021 by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on disclosure requirements pursuant to EU Regulation 2017/1129 (the so-called "Prospectus Regulation"), which are applicable from May 5th, 2021.
The Guidelines update the previous CESR Recommendations (ESMA/2013/319, as revised on March 20th , 2013) with the exception of those concerning issuers carrying out special activities set out in Annex no. 29 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, which have not been converted into Guidelines and still remain applicable.
Therefore, as from May 5th, 2021, references in previous CONSOB communications to the CESR Recommendations on Prospectuses mentioned above shall be deemed to be replaced by the ESMA Guidelines, including references in Communication No. DEM/6064293, of July 28th, 2006, on net financial position.
These Guidelines are intended to promote the usefulness and transparency of alternative performance indicators included in regulated information or prospectuses within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in order to improve their comparability, reliability and comprehensibility.
The meaning, content and basis of calculation of these indicators are as follows:
More generally, the Enel Group's net financial debt is determined in accordance with the provisions of Guideline No. 39, issued on March 4th, 2021, by ESMA, applicable from May 5th, 2021, and in line with the above-mentioned Warning Notice No. 5/21 issued by CONSOB on April 29th, 2021;
It is equal to the "Group net income" adjusted by, mainly, the previously commented items under "Ordinary EBITDA", net of possible tax effects and non-controlling interests.
15 Determined as the difference between "Non-current assets" and "Non-current liabilities" with the exception of: 1) "Deferred tax assets"; 2) "Securities" and "Other financial receivables" included in "Other non-current financial assets"; 3) "Long-term borrowings"; 4) "Employee benefits"; 5) "Provisions for risks and charges (non-current portion)"; and 6) "Deferred tax liabilities".

(1) The 2020 figure has been adjusted, solely for comparative purposes, to take into account the effects of the different classification resulting from the measurement at fair value, at the end of the period, of outstanding contracts for the purchase and sale of commodities settled with physical delivery; this different classification did not affect the Operating profit.
(2) For comparative purposes only, a reclassification was made from financial income to revenues for an amount of 87 million euros in 2020 of the component recognized in the income statement linked to the remeasurement at fair value of financial assets related to the service in concession of distribution activities in Brazil falling within the scope of IFRIC 12. This last classification had an effect of the same amount on the Operating profit.
