REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA

Allocation of the annual net income.

Dear Shareholders,

the dividend policy contained in the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan (presented to the financial community in November 2021) provides, with specific regard to the 2022 results, for the payment to Shareholders of a fixed dividend – equal to overall Euro 0.40 per share – to be paid in two instalments, through the payment of an interim dividend scheduled for January and the payment of the balance of the dividend scheduled for July.

In light of the above, on November 3, 2022 the Board of Directors has approved, pursuant to Article 2433-bis of the Italian Civil Code and Article 26.3 of the Corporate Bylaws, the distribution of an interim dividend for the financial year 2022 amounting to Euro 0.20 per share, that has been paid, gross of any withholding tax, from January 25, 2023. The no. 7,153,795 treasury shares held by the Company as of January 24, 2023 (i.e. at the record date) did not participate in the distribution of such interim dividend. Therefore, the interim dividend for the financial year 2022 actually paid to Shareholders amounted to Euro 2,031,905,230.20, while an amount of Euro 1,430,759.00 was earmarked for the reserve named "retained earnings" in consideration of the number of treasury shares held by Enel S.p.A. at the record date indicated above.

Taking into consideration that the Enel S.p.A. net income for the year 2022 amounts approximately to Euro 7,157 million and considering the interim dividend already paid, the Board of Directors proposes the distribution of a balance of the dividend amounting to Euro 0.20 per share (for an overall maximum amount approximately equal to Euro 2,033 million, as specified below), to be paid in July 2023.

It should also be noted that, starting from 2020 financial year, the Board of Directors authorized the issue of non-convertible subordinated hybrid bonds with a so-called

"perpetual" duration. Under IAS/IFRS international accounting standards, such bonds are accounted for as equity instruments and the related interests shall be accounted for as an adjustment to shareholders' equity at the same time the payment obligation arises. In this respect, in 2022 financial year Enel S.p.A. has paid to the holders of these bonds an overall amount of approximately Euro 123.4million.

In light of the above, and considering that the legal reserve is already equal to the maximum amount of one-fifth of the share capital (as provided for by Article 2430, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code), we therefore submit for your approval the following

Agenda

  • for the same reserve named "retained earnings" the remaining part of the net income, for an overall minimum amount of Euro 2,968,689,739.26, which might increase consistently with the balance of the dividend not paid due to the number of treasury shares that will be held by Enel S.p.A. at the "record date" indicated under point 2 of this resolution;
