Disclaimer
This Information Document was drafted in accordance with Italian laws and regulations and, therefore, may not be disseminated, in whole or in part, either in the original or as a copy, directly or indirectly, in other jurisdictions and, in particular, in Australia, Japan, Canada or the United States of America and/or provided to investors who are residents of such countries.
The dissemination of this Information Document in any jurisdiction (excluding Italy), including Australia, Japan, Canada or the United States of America, may be subject to specific rules and restrictions.

Forward-looking Statements
This Information Document contains forecasts, estimates and other forward-looking statements on the business of Enel S.p.A. and Enel Green Power S.p.A., including on their aggregated businesses following the completion of the demerger. Such forward-looking statements refer to objectives, intentions and expectations regarding future projects, trends, events, result of operations or financial conditions, on the basis of what is currently envisaged by the management, as well as upon assumptions made by the management, and upon information currently available to them. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties which, in many cases, fall beyond the control of the companies taking part in the demerger. Therefore, excessive reliance should not be placed upon such statements. The actual results may differ significantly from those indicated in the forecasts due to a range of different factors such as, merely by way of example and without any limitations: the failure to obtain authorizations, consents or shareholders' approval, changes in macroeconomic conditions and economic growth, as well as other changes in business conditions, changes in the legal framework and the institutional context (both in Italy and abroad), and many other factors, the majority of which fall beyond the control of the companies taking part in the transaction.
SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED PRO-FORMA DATA AND DATA PER SHARE
The following tables provide a brief summary of the consolidated pro-forma income statement and balance sheet data and pro-forma indicators per share of the Enel Group as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The data, which have been extracted from Chapter 5 of this Information Document, were elaborated in accordance with commonly accepted rules and on the basis of reasonable assumptions. Nonetheless, due to the limits related to the very nature of pro-forma data, if the Demerger had taken place as of the dates used as a reference for their preparation, the same results represented below would not necessarily have been attained.
It should also be recalled that the pro-forma data only illustrate effects of the Demerger that may be isolated and measured in an objective manner and, therefore, do not reflect the forward-looking economic effects deriving from the complete integration of Enel Green Power within the Enel Group.
For a complete description of the assumptions and criteria followed in the determination of the pro-forma data, see Chapter 5 below.

GLOSSARY
Set forth below is a list of technical terms used within the Information Document. Such terms, unless otherwise specified, shall have the meanings indicated below.
| Distribution | The transport and transformation of electricity on high, medium and low voltage grids for delivery to final customers. |
|---|---|
| Generation | The production of electricity, regardless of how it is generated. |
| Gigawatt or GW | Unit of measure of power output equal to one billion Watts (1,000 megawatts). |
| Gigawatt hour or GWh | Unit of measure of energy equal to one million Kilowatt hours. |
| Green certificates | Green certificates are annual certificates issued by the GSE which certify the production from renewable sources of 1 MWh of energy. Starting in 2002, pursuant to decree 79/99, producers and importers are under an obligation to input into the grid energy produced from renewable sources in quantities equal to a percentage of the total electricity produced or imported in the previous year using conventional sources. The obligation applies to importations and productions of electricity net of exportations, self-consumption of the power plant and cogeneration exceeding 100 GWh. |
| Gross production | The sum of electrical energy (including that generated through pumping) produced by all generator groups involved (first thermal motor and one or more generators of electrical energy mechanically paired), measured at the output terminals of the main generators. |
| GSE | Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (formerly GRTN), established pursuant to art. 3 of the Bersani Decree, is the joint stock company that is wholly owned by the MEF (Ministry of the Economy and Finance), that issues incentives for the production of electricity from renewable sources and similar sources and handles the qualification of plants using renewable sources and their production of electricity. |
| Hydroelectric plants (programmable and non-programmable) |
Programmable hydroelectric plants are basin-based (a bacino) and tank-based (a serbatoio) plants, while non-programmable plants are flowing water-based (ad acqua fluente) plants. Basin based plants are those that exploit the natural water flows of lakes or artificial basins, the capacity of which, in some cases, is increased through barriers and dikes. The flowing water-based hydroelectric plants have some capacity to regulate flows, and therefore the exploited capacity coincides with the capacity available in the water channel; therefore, the turbine generates energy in a manner and timeframe that are completely dependent upon the availability of the water channel. |
| Kilowatt or kW | Unit of measure of power output equal to one thousand Watts. |
| Kilowatt hour or kWh | Unit of measure of energy that expresses the quantity of electricity produced in one hour at a power output of 1,000 Watts. |
|---|---|
| Megawatt or MW | Unit of measure of power output equal to one million Watts. |
| Megawatt hour or MWh | Unit of measure of energy that expresses the quantity of electricity equal to 1,000 kilowatt hours (See item Kilowatt hour). |
| Net installed capacity (in MW) | The total installed capacity net of auxiliary services of the plants. |
| Net production | The gross production of electrical energy less the energy absorbed by auxiliary generation services and losses in the main transformers. |
| Photovoltaic module | Photovoltaic modules constitute the main element of the plant since their exposure to solar radiation gives rise to the production of energy. |
| Within the module, there are photovoltaic cells, generally consisting of very fine "slices" of silicon (a semi-conductor obtained using sand through a chemical-physical process) which give rise to the direct conversion of luminous energy into electric energy. Depending upon the characteristics of the material used to realize the cell, reference is made to modules in monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous silicon. There exists another type of photovoltaic modules called "Thin Film" modules, produced using technology that allows for the creation of thinner, economical cells comprise of several lawyers of different semi-conductor materials (both silicon-based and others). |
|
| Photovoltaic plants | Solar photovoltaic plants comprised of a set of photovoltaic modules (See item photovoltaic modules) and additional elements. |
| Pipeline | The set of all development projects for the production of energy using renewable sources identified by the Group following the conclusion of the preliminary study or "screening" phase, classified under three categories (Potential, Likely and Highly Confident) depending upon the different level of development and, therefore, the likelihood of success of each project, as assessed by the Company on the basis of its experience gained in the development sector. |
| Renewable sources | Sun, wind, water resources, geothermal resources, tides, wave power, biomass and organic wastes. Under Directive 2009/28/EC, "energy from renewable sources" is defined as energy originating from non-fossil renewable sources and, in other words, wind, solar, aerothermal, geothermal, hydrothermal, oceanic, hydraulic, biomass, discharge gas, gas left over from purification processes and biogas energy. |
| Terawatt or TW | Unit of measure of the power output equal to one billion kW. |
| Terawatt hour or TWh | Unit of measure of energy equal to one billion kWh. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Watt | Unit of measure of active electricity power output. | ||
| Watt hour | Unit of measure that expresses the quantity of electrical energy produced in one hour at power output of 1 watt. |
||
| Wind form or wind plant or wind power plant |
A wind farm is a set of interconnected aerogenerators (wind towers or wind turbines) located in a defined territory that produce electricity by exploiting wind power. The generation of electricity changes depending upon the wind and the generation capacity of the aerogenerators. |

- the assignment by Enel Green Power in favor of Enel of the Set of Assets Demerged (as defined and described in detail below), essentially consisting of (i) the totalitarian shareholding held by EGP in Enel Green Power International B.V. ("Enel Green Power International"), a holding company organized and existing under Dutch law which holds shareholdings in companies operating in the renewable energies sectors in North America, Central America and South America, Europe, South Africa and India, and (ii) assets, liabilities, agreements, legal relationships pertaining to such shareholding;
- the retention by Enel Green Power of all remaining assets and liabilities other than those comprising the Set of Assets Demerged (and, therefore, essentially, the Italian assets and the limited remaining foreign shareholdings).
As of the Date of Effect of the Demerger (as defined below), the quota of Enel Green Power's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged will be exchanged on the basis of the Exchange Ratio defined in Paragraph 2.2.4 below; the Enel shares issued to service the Demerger exchange will be assigned to Enel Green Power's shareholders in accordance with the non-proportional assignment criterion also indicated in Paragraph 2.2.4. By virtue of such non-proportional assignment, all of the Enel Green Power shares held by shareholders other than Enel will be exchanged with Enel shares, while Enel will exchange solely a portion of its shares held in Enel Green Power; such shares will be simultaneously cancelled in accordance with the provisions of art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code, as cited for demergers in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Civil Code, without proceeding with the assignment of the same. As a result, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger: (i) the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital by the amount indicated in Paragraph 2.2.2 below; (ii) all of the Enel Green Power shares exchanged with Enel shares will be cancelled, resulting in a reduction of the share capital of Enel Green Power by the amount indicated in Paragraph 2.2.4 below; and (iii) Enel will be the sole shareholder of Enel Green Power, while all of the other shareholders of the Demerged Company will become shareholders of Enel.
The effectiveness of the Demerger is, in any case, conditioned upon, in addition to the completion of the relevant corporate procedures, the condition that the total Liquidation Value of the Enel Green Power shares with respect to which the Right of Withdrawal and Right of Sale (as defined below) have been duly exercised does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million/00). The Condition Precedent will be deemed likewise satisfied – even if the above limit is exceeded – if Enel, within 60 calendar days from the last registration with the Companies Register of Rome of the shareholders' meeting resolution approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Civil Code, declares its intention to proceed to purchase all of the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale (as defined below) have been exercised.
For further information on the Exchange Ratio and the non-proportionality of the Demerger, see Paragraph 2.1.2 below.
As explained in detail below, the transaction is aimed at achieving complete integration of the renewable energies sector within the Enel Group.
The two figures set forth below illustrate the Enel Group's corporate structure before and after the completion of the Demerger, assuming that: (a) the current ownership structure of Enel and EGP remains unchanged until the completion of the Demerger; and (b) none of EGP's shareholders exercises the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale (as defined below):

On the Date of Effect of the Demerger, EGP shares will cease to be traded on the Electronic Stock Exchange (Market Telematico Azionario) organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. ("MTA") and on the Spanish continuous electronic trading system (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil, SIBE).
On November 17, 2015, the Boards of Directors of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger approved the Demerger Plan related to the Transaction (the "Demerger Plan"). The Demerger Plan (together with the documentation attached thereto) – attached to this Information Document as Schedule 3 – was registered with the Companies Register of Rome on December 7, 2015. The Demerger Plan was made available at the registered offices of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and published on Enel's website (www.enel.com) and on Enel Green Power's website (www.enelgreenpower.com) on December 11, 2015.
For further information on the documents made available to the public, see Paragraph 2.4 below.
The timeframe of the Demerger, which is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2016, is, essentially and subject to possible changes that may become necessary on account of corporate and/or regulatory requirements, the following:
- on January 11, 2016, the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Enel and Enel Green Power have been convened, in a single session;
- from the date of registration of the relevant resolutions in the Companies Register of Rome, (i) a term of sixty days will start to run, within which the corporate creditors of the two companies may present oppositions against the Demerger in accordance with art. 2503 of the Civil Code, as cited in
art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Civil Code and (ii) a term of fifteen days will start to run, within which the shareholders of Enel Green Power who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger may exercise the Right of Withdrawal and/or the Right of Sale;
upon the completion of the above-mentioned activities, the deed of Demerger will be executed.
1. RISK FACTORS
In order to have a full understanding of the Transaction, the recipients of the Information Document are asked to consider the specific factors of risk or uncertainty deriving from the Demerger.
The factors of risk or uncertainty described below should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the Information Document.
Additional risks and uncertainties which are currently not foreseeable or which are considered unlikely at present may likewise affect the business, economic and financial conditions and prospects of Enel and/or EGP.
References to Chapters and Paragraphs refer to the chapters and paragraphs of the Information Document.
1.1. RISKS RELATED TO THE DEMERGER
1.1.1. RISKS RELATED TO THE CONDITION PRECEDENT
The effectiveness of the Demerger is conditioned upon the circumstance that the total Liquidation Value of the Enel Green Power shares with respect to which the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale are validly exercised by EGP's shareholders who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million/00) (the "Condition Precedent").
Enel and Enel Green Power will announce the data on whether or not the Condition Precedent is met, through a notice published on their respective websites and in at least one national newspaper.
The Condition Precedent will be deemed satisfied nonetheless – even in the event that the above-mentioned limit is exceeded – if Enel, within 60 calendar days of the last registration with the Companies Register of Rome of the shareholders meetings' resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Civil Code, declares its intention to proceed with the purchase of all the shares for which the above-mentioned rights have been exercised.
If the above-mentioned Condition Precedent is not satisfied or Enel does not declare its intention to proceed with the purchase of all of the shares for which the above-mentioned rights have been exercised, the Demerger will not be perfected.
(See Paragraph 2.1.2.1 of the Information Document).
1.1.2. RISKS RELATED TO A POSSIBLE OPPOSITION BY CREDITORS
Under the combined provisions of arts. 2506-ter and 2503 of the Civil Code, the Demerger may be implemented only upon the expiry of 60 days of the last of the registrations provided under art. 2502-bis of the Civil Code. By such deadline, the creditors of Enel and Enel Green Power existing prior to the registration provided under art. 2506-bis, paragraph 5, of the Civil Code may raise an opposition against the implementation of the Demerger.
In the event of opposition, delays may arise in the timetable of corporate procedures in preparation of the completion of the Demerger. It should be noted, moreover, that in the event of opposition, if the competent Court concludes that the risk of prejudice to the creditors is baseless or if the debtor company has granted a suitable guarantee, it may nonetheless order that the Demerger take place despite the opposition, in accordance with the provisions of arts. 2503, paragraph 2, and 2445, paragraph 4, of the Civil Code.
(See Paragraph 2.1.2.1 of the Information Document).
1.1.3. RISKS RELATED TO THE JOINT OBLIGATIONS ARISING FROM THE DEMERGER
The Set of Assets Demerged will be assigned to the Beneficiary Company on the basis of the book values as of September 30, 2015. The net book value of the Set of Assets Demerged is Euro 3,664,162,218.
Under art. 2506-quater, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code, starting on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, each of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger is jointly liable – subject to the limit of the actual value of the net shareholders' equity assigned to it or retained by it – for the debts existing as of the date of the Demerger that have not been satisfied by the company that owes them. The joint liability pursuant to art. 2506-quater, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code is secondary since it arises solely in the event of debts that are "not satisfied" by the company that owes them and requires the prior unsuccessful enforcement against the original debtor company. However, such rule, under an exemption from the provisions of the Civil Code, does not apply with reference to certain specific debts and liabilities: by way of example (i) under art. 30, paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree No. 231 dated June 8, 2001, the beneficiary company of a demerger has unlimited liability for sanctions issued against the demerged company on the condition that the business unit in the context of which the criminal act was committed has been transferred to the beneficiary company, and (ii) under art. 173, paragraph 13, of Presidential Decree No. 917 dated December 22, 1986 and art. 15 of Legislative Decree No. 472 dated December 18, 1997, solely with regard to debts of a tax nature and under an exemption from the provisions of the Civil Code, the Beneficiary Company may be jointly liable with the Demerged Company even over the limits of the net shareholders' equity transferred.
(See Paragraph 2.1.2.1 of the Information Document).
1.1.4. RISKS RELATED TO THE VALUATION METHODS USED TO ESTABLISH THE EXCHANGE RATIO AND TO THE VALUATION OF THE SET OF ASSETS DEMERGED
Valuation of the Exchange Ratio
On November 17, 2015, the Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP, after examining and accepting the valuations rendered by their respective advisors, and –for EGP – also acknowledging the favorable opinion by its Related Parties Committee, issued unanimously and attached to this Information Document as Schedule 11, approved the Exchange Ratio, meaning the ratio that suitably expresses the reciprocal weights of the two Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, of 0.486 newly issued Enel shares for each EGP share exchanged. No cash adjustments are envisaged.
In order to determine the economic value of the ordinary shares of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and, therefore, of the Exchange Ratio, on the one hand, and the value of the Set of Assets Demerged with respect to EGP, in order to set the number of EGP shares to be cancelled, on the other, Enel and EGP followed generally accepted valuation methodologies, with particular regard to those most commonly used at national and international levels in similar transactions, giving priority to the principle of consistency and comparability of the valuation criteria, applied compatibly with the distinctive elements of the individual Companies Taking Part in the Demerger.
The valuations carried out to determine the Exchange Ratio are subject to the standard criticalities intrinsic in this type of analysis. In particular, the results of the valuation procedure followed, must be considerated in the light of some limits and difficulties summarized as follows:
-
- the provisional data, the estimates and the economic forecasts used for the relative valuation, present by their nature elements of uncertainty on the actual predictability of the expected operating and income performance, even in relation to the possible changes in the relevant context;
-
- the high volatility in the actual context of the financial markets, subject to significant changes with a potential impact on some valuations measures including, for example, the parameters used for the determination of the WACC;
-
- the "Sum of the Parts" approach, used in the Discounted Cash Flow methodology ("Methodology DCF"), required a complex allocation of certain economic, financial and balance sheet data to the individual assets evaluated;
-
- in the application of the methodology of the prices-target indicated in the financial analysts research, the reports published before the approval of the new strategic plans of Enel Green Power and Enel have been taken into account, and whose estimates and expectations may differ, even significantly, from the strategic plans recently approved by the Board of Directors of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger;
-
the methodologies based on the market multiples or deriving from the comparable transactions have not been considered relevant since the comparability inherent to the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger resulted invalidated by differences related mainly to the regulatory context, the durations and the features of the incentives, the different geographical and technological characteristics and to the developments projects compared to net installed capacity.
The valuations carried out reflect financial and economic assumptions and expectations based upon the information available as of November 17, 2015, which may change or being affected by market conditions as well as exogenous and endogenous events affecting the current and future trends, on the performance and on the economic and financial prospects of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger.
No mechanism for adjusting Exchange Ratio by the Date of Effect of the Demerger is envisaged. The market prices of Enel shares and EGP shares have been and are subject to volatility and fluctuations also as a result of the general trend in the capital markets. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that, while the Exchange Ratio remains congruous based upon the methodologies used for its determination, the market value of the Beneficiary Company's shares to be assigned in exchange at the time of completion of the Demerger, may result be lower or higher than the market value as of the date on which the Exchange Ratio was set.
Valuation of the Set of Assets Demerged
On November 15, 2015, Enel's and EGP's Board of Directors, with the support of their respective advisors, and – as for EGP – examined the favorable opinion unanimously issued by the Related Party Transactions Committee and attached to this Information Document under Schedule 11, determined the value of the Set of Assets Demerged.
For the purposes of the valuation of the equity value of the Set of Assets Demerged and the comparison of the same with the overall valuation of Enel Green Power's equity value, in line with the valuation approach used to determine the Exchange Ratio and taking into consideration the specific characteristics of Enel Green Power and the Set of Assets Demerged – and in particular taking into account the fact that the Set of Assets Demerged is not a listed company – it was only possible to use the DCF Methodology.
For a more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used by for the purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio and the value of the Set of Assets Demerged, the results deriving from the application of the above-mentioned methodologies and the valuation difficulties encountered, reference is made to the Explanatory Report prepared by the Board of Directors of Enel and EGP in accordance with art. 2506-ter of the Civil Code, and to the fairness opinion on the Exchange Ratio issued by the advisors of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, attached to this Information Document.
(See Paragraph 2.2.5 of the Information Document).
1.1.5. RISKS RELATED TO THE PRESENTATION OF PRO-FORMA DATA IN THE INFORMATION DOCUMENT
The Information Document includes the pro-forma tables related to the consolidated income statement, the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated cash flow statement as of June 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014 of the Enel Group, accompanied by the relevant explanatory notes (together, also referred to as the "Consolidated Pro-forma Tables"), prepared in order to represent the potential effects of the Demerger.
The Consolidated Pro-forma Tables were prepared solely for explanatory purposes in order to provide a simulation of the significant effects of the Demerger on the income, balance sheet and cash flow statement of the Enel Group, as if the same had occurred on a virtual basis on June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as regards the balance sheet effects and as of January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2014 as regards the income effects (income statement) and financial effects (cash flow statement). In accordance with the method for preparing pro-forma data set forth in Consob Notice No. DEM/1052803 dated July 5, 2001, the Consolidated Proforma Tables were prepared by adjusting the historical data as of June 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014 of the Enel Group, extracted from the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union as of such date, and applying the pro-forma adjustments in order to simulate retroactively the effects of the Demerger.
The information set forth in the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables constitutes a simulation of the significant effects that may derive from the Demerger, provided solely for explanatory purposes. In particular, since the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables were prepared in order to reflect retroactively the significant effects of subsequent transactions, despite compliance with commonly accepted rules and the use of reasonable assumptions, there are limits related to the very nature of pro-forma data. Therefore, there exists a risk that if the Demerger had actually occurred as of the dates used as a reference for the preparation of the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables, the same results represented in the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables would not necessarily have been obtained.
Moreover, the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables are not meant to represent in any way whatsoever a forecast of the future results of the Enel Group and, therefore, must not be used in this manner.
Lastly, considering that the purposes of pro-forma data differ from those of historical financial statements and the difference procedures used to calculate the effects, the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet must be read and interpreted separately with respect to the consolidated pro-forma income statement and the consolidated pro-forma cash flow statement, without seeking out accounting connections between the same.
(See Chapters 5 and 6 of the Information Document).
1.1.6. RISKS RELATED TO THE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THE OPERATION IS BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES
In light of the de jure control exercised by the Beneficiary Company over the Demerged Company, the Demerger constitutes a transaction between related parties.
As to regards Enel, the Demerger transaction, while being carried out with a related party, is exempted from the application of the special Procedure for transactions with related party – adopted in accordance with the RPT Regulation – since the transaction is being concluded with a subsidiary in which there do not exist significant interests of other related parties (within the meaning set forth in art. 14, paragraph 2, of the RPT Regulation and art. 13.3, letter d), of the above-mentioned Procedure). In consideration of the foregoing, no involvement on the part of Enel's Related Parties Committee was required for the approval of the Demerger Plan. As regards Enel Green Power, the Demerger constitutes a transaction of "major importance" with a related party pursuant to RPT Regulation and the RPT Procedure EGP.
In light of the above, Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee, comprised solely of independent directors and competent in related party transactions issues, was involved in the negotiations and review phase related to the Transaction and, on November 16, 2015, issued unanimously its reasoned favorable opinion on (i) the Enel Green Power's interest to conclude the Transaction, as well as (ii) the advantageousness and substantial fairness of its conditions. On November 24, 2015 Enel Green Power has made available to the public the information document provided under art. 5 of the RPT Regulation, at Enel Green Power's registered office at Viale Regina Margherita, 125, Rome, as well as on its website (www.enelgreenpower.com) and on the authorized storage mechanism NIS-Storage (www.emarketstorage.com).
(See Paragraph 2.1.2.1 of the Information Document).
1.2. RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANIES TAKING PART IN THE DEMERGER AND TO THEIR BUSINESS SECTOR
1.2.1. RISKS RELATED TO INDEBTEDNESS
The main risk related to indebtedness is the risk of company's failure to meet its own obligations in connection with its financial liabilities. Such risk is mitigated, in accordance with the limits assigned, by guaranteeing an adequate level of liquidity and resources that are unconditionally available in the short term, including liquidity and short-term deposits, committed credit lines and a portfolio of highly liquid assets. Over the long term, the risk of default is mitigated by guaranteeing a balanced debt maturity profile and the access to a variety of different funding sources, characterized by different markets, currencies and counterparties.
As of September 30, 2015, Enel's Net Financial Debt totaled Euro 39,357 million (Euro 39,849 million as of June 30, 2015 and Euro 37,383 million as of December 31, 2014). Enel's Net Financial Debt is determined on a net basis after deducting non-current financial receivables and long-term securities, totaling Euro 2,188 million as of September 30, 2015, Euro 2,621 million as of June 30, 2015 and Euro 2,701 million as of December 31, 2014.
The Net Financial Debt calculated on the basis of ESMA Standards (which does not take into account noncurrent financial receivables and long-term securities) totaled Euro 41,545 million as of September 30, 2015 (Euro 42,470 million as of June 30, 2015 and Euro 40,084 million as of December 31, 2014).
As of September 30, 2015, the repayment plan for the Enel Group's long-term loans envisaged repayments totaling Euro 5,401 million within the following 12 months, with available liquidity totaling Euro 8,310 million and committed credit lines available and not used totaling Euro 13.2 billion.
As of September 30, 2015, EGP's Net Financial Debt amounted to Euro 7,345 million (Euro 7,004 million as of June 30, 2015 and Euro 6,038 million as of December 31, 2014). EGP's Net Financial Debt is determined on a net basis after deducting non-current financial receivables (Euro 80 million as of September 30, 2015, Euro 430 million as of June 30, 2015 and Euro 425 million as of December 31, 2014).
Net Financial Debt calculated on the basis of ESMA Standards (which does not take into account noncurrent financial receivables and long-term securities) amounted to Euro 7,425 million (Euro 7,434 million as of June 30, 2015 and Euro 6,463 million as of December 31, 2014).
As of September 30, 2015, repayment plan for the Enel Green Power Group's long-term loans envisaged the repayment of Euro 327 million within the following 12 months, with available liquidity of Euro 359 million and committed credit lines available and not used totaling Euro 1.7 billion.
Despite the careful management of the liquidity and the debt maturities timetable, there is no guarantee that the Enel Group will be in a position to fulfill its debt obligations, to obtain additional loans or to obtain them at satisfactory conditions. Moreover, a rise in the overall level of indebtedness may have adverse effects on Enel's credit rating, a possible rise in costs related to loans in place, and limit Enel's access to funding sources and Enel's capacity to fulfill its debt obligations. For a detailed description of the main components of Enel's Net Financial Debt and Enel Green Power's Net Financial Debt, reference is made to the information set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statement as of December 31, 2014 of the Enel Group and the Consolidated Financial Statement as of December 31, 2014 of the Enel Green Power Group, published respectively on the websites www.enel.com and www.enelgreenpower.com.
(See Chapter 4 of the Information Document).
1.2.2. RISKS RELATED TO THE FAILURE TO HONOR FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND COMMITMENTS PROVIDED UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENTS
The main long-term financial debts of the Enel Group and of the EGP Group entail covenants, which are commonly adopted in international practice, as termination clauses and/or change of control and change of ownership commitments, as well as potential limits to the disposal of the same agreements and/or the related legal relationships during extraordinary transactions, imposed upon the debtor companies (including, merely by way of example, Enel, Endesa and the other companies of the Enel Group, as well as EGP, Enel Green Power International B.V. and other EGP Group's companies) and, in some cases, upon the guarantors companies (i.e. Enel and EGP).
The occurrence of one or more events of default or any circumstance constituting a mandatory early repayment event (including a change of control of the related borrower) envisaged under the loan agreements in place, the breach of covenants envisaged under the same could give rise to an obligation for Enel and/or EGP to repay the sums disbursed early and/or cause the termination of the related existing loan agreement, which would give rise to adverse effects on the business, balance sheet, results of operations and financial condition of the Enel Group and/or of the EGP Group.
The main covenants undertaken by the Enel and EGP Groups, which are monitored yearly and half –yearly as disposed by each loan agreement, are described in the respective consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2014, published on the websites www.enel.com and www.enelgreenpower.com, to which reference is made. It should be noted that, as of June 30, 2015, no covenant has been breached.
1.2.3. RISKS RELATED TO INTEREST RATES
As of June 30, 2015, 29% of Enel's gross financial debt and 50% of EGP's gross financial indebtedness is expressed at floating interest rates (respectively, 31% and 46% as of December 31, 2014).
The Enel and EGP Groups have implemented policies on the management of interest rate risk having the twofold objective of reducing the amount of indebtedness subject to fluctuations in interest rates and containing the cost of funding, limiting the cost of funding, limiting the volatility of results, reductions in profitability and increases in financial costs. Such objective is achieved through the strategic diversification and balancing of the portfolio of financial liabilities by contractual type, term and interest rate terms, modifying the risk profile of specific exposures through the execution of over-the-counter derivative instruments in accordance with the assigned limits.
In particular, taking into account the effective hedging agreements covering interest rates related to cash flows, as of June 30, 2015, the percentage of gross financial indebtedness not covered by the abovementioned derivative instruments was 24% for Enel (23% as of December 31, 2014) and 35% for Enel Green Power (31% as of December 31, 2014) with respect to exposures.
Although the Enel and EGP Groups have an active risk management policy, in the event of a rise in interest rates, the rise in financial costs imposed upon the same related to floating rate indebtedness not subject to interest rate hedging may have adverse effects on the balance sheet, results of operations and financial condition of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and the respective Groups.
1.2.4. RISKS RELATED TO EXCHANGE RATES
The Enel and EGP Groups are exposed to exchange rate risk deriving from the presence of financial instruments and cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and assets. In particular, the exchange rate risk derives principally from debt denominated in foreign currency, cash flows related to the purchase and/or sale of fuels and energy on the international markets, cash flows related to investments or other items in foreign currency, such as dividends from non-consolidated foreign affiliates or cash flows related to the purchase or sale of shareholdings. In order to reduce exchange rate risk deriving from the above-mentioned exposures, Enel and EGP implement various types of derivative contracts, typically on the over-the-counter market, in accordance with the limit assigned; moreover, the management aims to achieve an ongoing offsetting between credit and debit positions for each currency in which Enel and EGP operate, in order to pursue a substantial balance between inflows and outflows related to transactions with foreign counterparties.
Based upon an analysis of the Enel Group's financial indebtedness, as of June 30, 2015, the 39% (35% as of December 31, 2014) of gross indebtedness is expressed in currencies other than Euro; in particular, the part of debt expressed in U.S dollar is equal to 18%, the part of debt expressed in UK pound is equal to 12% and the part of debt expressed in Colombian peso is equal to 3%.
With regard to EGP Group, as of June 30, 2015, 30% (27% as of December 31, 2014) of the gross long-term indebtedness is expressed in currencies other than Euro; in particular, the part of debt expressed in U.S dollar is equal to 25% and the part of debt expressed in Brazilian real is equal to 3%.
Taking into account the portion of indebtedness expressed in currencies other than the relevant currency of the individual Companies and of the related hedging transactions, the percentage of indebtedness exposed to exchange rate risk as of June 30, 2015 was approximately 13.6% for Enel and 0.6% for Enel Green Power (respectively 13% and 0.7% as of December 31, 2014).
Although they apply on an ongoing basis their policy on the hedging of risks deriving from fluctuations in exchange rates through financial instruments available on the market, it cannot be ruled out that significant future changes in exchange rates – in particular of the Euro with respect to the Dollar and the currencies of emerging countries – may produce adverse effects on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and of their respective Groups.
In addition, since the currency of the consolidated financial statement of the Enel and EGP Groups is the Euro, marked fluctuations in exchange rates may give rise to, including at the time of conversion of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, material effects on the results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of the above-mentioned Groups.
1.2.5. RISKS RELATED TO THE RATING
As of the Date of the Information Document, Enel's long-term rating is: (i) "BBB", with a positive outlook, according to Standard & Poor's Rating Services; (ii) "BBB+", with a stable outlook, according to Fitch Ratings; and (iii) "Baa2", with a stable outlook, according to Moody's Investors Services Ltd.
In particular, on May 5, 2015, Standard & Poor's has revised the outlook on Enel to "positive" (from the previous "stable") and has confirmed the "BBB" of the long-term credit rating. The change in outlook reflects the positive opinion on the strategy implemented by Enel of reducing its business risk profile, thanks to the significant contribution of regulated business operations and an appropriate diversification from geographical and technological standpoint, which according to the agency strengthen Enel's credit position over the timeline 2015-2017.
On June 23, 2015, Fitch confirmed its "BBB+" long-term credit rating on Enel, maintaining a stable outlook.
On March 27, 2015, Moody's announced that it has revised its outlook on Enel to "stable" (from the previous "negative"), and that it has confirmed the "Baa2" long-term credit rating following the announcement of the Strategic Plan 2015-2019. According to Moody's, the change in Enel's outlook reflects the strategic focus of the new plan, that will allow for the rebalancing of investments toward businesses that are less exposed to commodities risk.
The agencies Standard & Poor's Rating Services, Moody's Investors Services Ltd and Fitch Ratings which have assigned a rating to Enel are all registered with ESMA.
Certain of the Enel Group's loan agreements in place provide for changes in the spread in the event of changes in the ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's and Moody's. In addition, in certain loan agreements, it is envisaged that Enel's rating must remain above certain levels. Any downgrades by the rating agencies beyond the thresholds provided under the agreements could give rise to a change in the spread, or have additional adverse effects on the results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of Enel and the Enel Group (such as, for example, the need to provide additional guarantees).
The possibility of gaining access to capital markets and other forms of funding, as well as the costs of the same, depend, inter alia, upon the rating assigned to the Enel Group and, therefore, any downgrades in such rating may constitute a limitation on the possibility to access the capital markets and may increase the cost of funding and/or refinancing of the indebtedness in place, which could have adverse effects on the results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of Enel and the Enel Group.
1.2.6. RISKS RELATED TO CHANGES IN PRICES OF FUELS AND ELECTRICITY OR TO THE INTERRUPTION IN SUPPLIES
Due to the nature of its business, the Enel Group is exposed to the risk that changes in the prices of fuels and electricity on the international markets may adversely affect its results of operations.
With particular reference to electricity, depending upon the countries in which the Enel and EGP Groups operate, the prices may be subject to significant fluctuations and may change on the basis of several factors, including market demand, the cost of raw materials used by producers of energy that use non-renewable sources, the price of green certificates or similar forms of incentive by the regulatory authorities.
In order to mitigate such exposure, the Enel Group has developed a strategy of stabilizing margins that provides for the use of early contracting for purchases of fuels and supplies to final customers or to wholesale market operators. In addition, it has put in place a formal procedure that provides for the measurement of residual commodity risk, the definition of a limit on maximum acceptable risk and the conclusion of hedging transactions using derivative contracts.
In order to mitigate risks of interruptions in the supply of fuels, the Enel Group has also developed a strategy for the diversification of sources for the procurement of fuels and supplies, using suppliers located in various geographical areas, and developing initiatives aimed at the construction of transport and storage infrastructures.
In such context, however, a significant change in the prices of fuels and/or electricity, so as to render insufficient the hedging strategy implemented by the Enel Group, and the occurrence of circumstances that may give rise to an interruption in the sourcing of fuels, may have adverse effects on income margins and on the return on investments by the Enel Group and EGP and/or may lead the latter companies to change or reduce their development objectives in certain areas, which could have adverse effects on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of Enel and the Enel Group.
1.2.7. CREDIT RISK
Commercial transactions in commodities and financial transactions expose the Enel Group and the EGP Group to credit risk, meaning the possibility that the unexpected change in the creditworthiness of a counterparty may have effects on the credit position, in terms of insolvency (default risk) or changes in the market value of the same (spread risk).
In order to minimize credit risk, the general policy in place at the Enel Group level provides for an assessment of the creditworthiness of counterparties – on the basis of information provided by third party companies and internal assessment models – and the structured monitoring of exposures to risk, in order to identify in a timely manner possible impairments in the quality of receivables in place, also with respect to predefined threshold values (limits). In order to further mitigate credit risk the policy provides for, in certain cases, the possible request for appropriate guarantees or, with respect to specific portions of the customer portfolio, pro soluto (non-recourse) sales of the receivable and/or insurance coverage with primary credit insurance companies.
With reference to the credit risk originating from open positions in financial transactions, including derivative instruments, the reduction in risk is pursued through the selection of counterparties with solid creditworthiness, selected from among primary national and international financial institutions, diversification of the portfolio, the execution of margining agreements which provide for the exchange of cash collateral or the application of netting criteria.
Despite such risk management policies, the default of one or more significant counterparties of the Enel Group may have an adverse effect on the Group's results of operations and financial condition, which in turn would adversely impact Enel's balance sheet and economic and financial condition.
1.2.8. RISKS RELATED TO LITIGATION
In the ordinary course of business, the Enel and EGP Groups are parties to various civil and administrative legal proceedings, and to a number of criminal and arbitral proceedings.
The Companies Taking Part in the Demerger have included in their consolidated financial statements a fund with provisions covering the risk associated with legal proceedings in order to cover the liabilities that may derive, on the basis of indications provided by in-house and external legal advisors, from the legal proceedings and other litigation matters pending. As of June 30, 2015, such fund amounted to a total of Euro 828 million for Enel and Euro 22 million for Enel Green Power. A number of legal proceedings to which the Enel Group or the Enel Green Power Group are parties for which a possible adverse outcome is considered merely possible, remote or unquantifiable have not been included in such litigation fund. The description of such legal proceedings is available in the information set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statement as of December 31, 2014 of the Enel Group and the Consolidated Financial Statement as of December 31, 2014 of the Enel Green Power Group, as well as in the financial statements and interim directors' reports, published on the websites www.enel.com and www.enelgreenpower.com.
Although the Enel and EGP Groups are of the view that any liabilities related to the outcome of the disputes pending should not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, balance sheet and/or financial statement of the respective Groups, it cannot be ruled out that the Enel and/or EGP Groups may in the future face costs and indemnity obligations that are not covered or insufficiently covered by the litigation fund, which could have adverse effects, which could be material, on the results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of the above-mentioned Groups.
1.2.9. RISKS RELATED TO THE ACTUAL REALIZATION OF THE STRATEGIC PLANS OF ENEL AND ENEL GREEN POWER, FORWARD-LOOKING DATA AND DECLARATIONS OF SUPERIORITY, AND INFORMATION ON THE TREND IN THE RELEVANT MARKET OF THE COMPANIES TAKING PART IN THE DEMERGER
On November 12, 2015, the Boards of Directors of Enel and Enel Green Power approved the respective Strategic Plans, which set forth strategic guidelines and growth objectives of the respective Groups for the period of reference, as well a number of the income forecasts described in the Information Document.
Enel's and EGP's Strategic Plans are based upon assumptions concerning the general economic context and trends in the positioning of the business. The most noteworthy of these include, clearly, the trend in prices of electricity, gas, fuels and raw materials, average costs of investments in plants, trend of the demand for electricity and gas in markets where the respective Groups operate, the trend in macroeconomic variables, and the trend in the regulatory framework.
In consideration of the above-mentioned assumptions underlying Enel's and EGP's Strategic Plans and the related medium-term timeline, if one or more of the assessments, estimates or forecasts underlying such assumptions failure to materialize, or ended up only partially materializing, or if they were to materialize at conditions differing from those assumed, including following events which are currently not foreseeable or quantifiable concerning the general market climate or business of the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, the information and trends indicated in Enel's and EGP's Strategic Plans and in the Information Document may not be in line with those that actually materialize in the future.
Moreover, the Information Document sets forth forecasts and estimates on the income of the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, as well as declarations of superiority and estimates on the competitive positioning of the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, formulated by the Groups on the basis of their specific expertise in their business sectors, available data and past experience. Such information has not been verified by independent third parties. The results, competitive positioning and trend in performance of the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger may differ, possibly significantly, in the future with respect to those envisaged in such statements on account of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors referred to, inter alia, in this Risk Factors Section. The Auditing Firm's report on the forward-looking data set forth in this Information Document is attached hereto as Schedule 10.
To ensure the successful integration of the Set of Assets Demerged, Enel will have to focus particular attention on management issues and dedicate resources to integrate the assets and business operations into the Enel Group. The integration process may therefore be subject to delays with regard to the achievement of the advantages expected from the Demerger.
(See Chapters 4 and 6 of the Information Document).
1.2.10. RISKS RELATED TO THE LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK GOVERNING THE BUSINESS SECTORS IN WHICH THE ENEL AND EGP GROUPS OPERATE
The Enel and EGP Groups operate in a highly regulated business sector. They are required to comply with numerous laws and regulations in each of the countries where they operate and the plants in operation and under development owned by the Enel and EGP Groups must likewise comply with numerous laws and regulations in force in the same countries, which are moreover subject to change.
The regulatory framework applicable to the sector covers many aspects of the business operations of the Enel and EGP Groups along the entire electricity supply chain and, as regards Enel, the gas supply chain. Such regulations impact upon both the manner in which the business operations of the Enel and EGP Groups are conducted, and the returns attained by some of them. In particular, the regulatory framework governs the construction of production plants (as regards the obtainment of building permits and additional administrative authorizations), as well as their commissioning, and environmental protection (regulations on landscape protection and noise pollution), as well as the generation and distribution of electricity and gas. In particular, the regulatory framework applicable to the production of electricity using renewable sources varies from country to country and is subject to future developments, which at times are not easily predictable, which may as a result have positive or negative effects for the Enel and EGP Groups.
The growing tendency on the part of regulatory authorities to implement procedures for the development of production from renewable sources based upon competitive processes and the declining trend in unit costs of solar and wind technologies will mean that the relevance of fixed incentive mechanisms (such as green certificates and feed-in tariffs) for the profitability of such energy sources will tend to continue decline over time.
Despite the foregoing, fixed incentive mechanisms, on which the regulatory frameworks of certain countries continue to be based, may have a material impact on the income prospects of electricity generation using renewable sources for operators in this sector. In particular, the sources of renewable energy which present a lower Load Factor than that of traditional sources are in some cases characterized by profitability that depends upon incentive policies implemented in the various countries, to a greater extent than non-renewable generation sources. Such dependence varies significantly on the basis of any factors such as, for example, the market price of energy, the availability of resources, unitary investments and the costs of operation. Even if incentive policies for energy deriving from renewable sources have been applied continuously over the last few years, certain of them already have a fixed term and may end in the next few years, and there is no guarantee that such policies will continue to remain in place in the future in the countries where the Enel Green Power Group operates or that the plants that the Enel Green Power Group will start to operate in the future may benefit from the incentives currently in place, beyond the incentive periods that are already known at present.
The possible enactment of more restrictive or less favorable regulatory provisions, as well as the imposition of obligations to adapt or modify existing plants or to fulfill additional formalities or requirements related to the operation of the plants (such as new monitoring and control procedures) may give rise to changes in operating conditions and an increase in investments, costs of production or otherwise hamper the development of the business operations of the Enel and EGP Groups.
Therefore, possible future changes in the regulatory framework applicable to the sector in which the Groups of the Companies Party to the Demerger operate at the international, national or local levels, may have adverse effects on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and/or financial condition of the respective Groups.
Moreover, the high level of complexity and fragmented nature of the national and local regulatory frameworks applicable to Renewable Energies, coupled with the sometimes less than uniform interpretations of the same by the competent authorities, complicates business decisions by sector operators, causing situations of uncertainty and legal proceedings, with possible adverse effects on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and/or financial condition of the Enel and EGP Groups.
(See Chapter 4 of the Information Document).
1.2.11. RISKS RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF THE ELECTRICITY AND GAS DISTRIBUTION SERVICE AND THE RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION PLANTS OPERATING UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE CONCESSIONS AND THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF ELECTRICITY PLANTS
The Enel Group operates in Italy a portion of the electricity distribution service and its own hydroelectric plants under a concession regime.
The Enel Group's distribution service is carried out, at the global level, mainly under a concession regime, under long-term contracts (from 30 to 95 years and, in some cases, for an indefinite term).
In particular, the Enel Group's concessions in Italy expire (i) on December 31, 2030, as regards the electricity distribution service and (ii) between 2029 and 2040, as regards the hydroelectric plants. The Enel Group's hydroelectric plant in Spain operate under an administrative concession regime, with a range of expiry dates running until 2067. In Brazil, the Enel Group is the concession holder for the electricity distribution service until 2028.
In Chile, Colombia and Peru, on the other hand, the applicable regulatory framework does not provide for an expiry on the term of operation of the concessions, subject to the possibility for the public authorities to revoke the concession.
As regards the Enel Green Power Group, the hydroelectric and geothermoelectric plants in Italy are operated under a concession regime, with expiry in, respectively, 2029 for the majority of the former plants and 2024, under Legislative Decree No. 22 of 2010, for the latter plants. Upon expiry, the concessions will be granted on the basis of special public procedures, in accordance with art. 12 of the so-called Bersani Decree (Legislative Decree No. 79 of 1999) for the hydroelectric concessions and art. 9 of Legislative Decree No. 22 of 2010 for geothermoelectric concessions. Furthermore, Enel Green Power Group owns renewable energy generation plants in different countries. In relation to this, it should be noted that the expiration of the concessions for plants in Spain have various expiring dates, depending upon the plant, ranging from 2016 to 2067. As regards Latin America, it should be recalled that the Enel Green Power Group owns renewable energy generation plants such as, for example hydroelectric, wind and photovoltaic plants in various countries, including Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Uruguay, Mexico and Panama. Such plants operate under a concession regime with expiries ranging depending upon the country and the type of plant; in particular, in such countries, the Enel Green Power Group owns administrative concessions with expiries, for (i) hydroelectric plants, ranging from 2017 to 2057, (ii) wind plants, ranging from 2032 to 2050 and (iii) solar plants, from 2025 to 2054.
Despite continuous attention focused on the correct operation of the above-mentioned plants and compliance with the applicable legal framework, it cannot be ruled out that the concessions pursuant to which they are operated may be revoked or cancelled or not renewed at the respective expiries.
The possible revocation, cancellation or non-renewal of such concessions or the grant of concessions at less favorable economic conditions for the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, including upon the renewal of concessions that expire, may have a negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger.
Moreover, the development, construction and operation of electricity plants are subject to particularly complex administrative procedures which require the obtainment of numerous permits from the competent national and local authorities.
Such procedures vary from country to country and the related applications may be rejected by the competent authorities for numerous reasons or may be approved with delays, possibly significant ones, with respect to the envisaged timetables. The obtainment of permits may also be delated or hindered by possible changes in the regulatory frameworks in force in the individual countries where the Group operates or even by oppositions on the part of local residents in the areas affected by the projects.
The possible failure to obtain or late obtainment of such permits, concessions and/or authorizations necessary for the plants under development, the revocation, cancellation or non-renewal of permits and authorizations obtained by the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger for existing plants, as well as the possible opposition by third parties against the rulings granting such permits, concessions and authorizations, may lead the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger to change or reduce their development objectives in certain areas or technologies, and/have a negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger.
1.2.12. RISKS RELATED TO THE INTERRUPTIONS IN THE OPERATION OF GRID INFRASTRUCTURES AND PLANTS
In conducting their business, the Enel and EGP Groups are exposed to risks of malfunctions and unexpected interruptions in services resulting from events falling beyond their control, such as accidents, breakdowns or malfunctioning of control devices or systems, manufacturing defects in the components of the plants, natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other similar extraordinary events.
The restoration of plants following such events may give rise to an increase in costs, potential losses, and the need to change the investment plans of the Enel and EGP Groups. Furthermore, the malfunctions or interruptions in service of the plants may expose the Enel and EGP Groups to the risk of legal proceedings, which in the event of unfavorable outcomes, may lead to indemnity obligations. Although the Enel and EGP Groups believe that they have appropriate insurance coverage in place, the same may turn out to be insufficient upon the occurrence of such circumstances.
The occurrence of one or more of the circumstances described above may have a negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and their respective Groups.
1.2.13. RISKS RELATED TO THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE IMPACT OF PLANTS UPON THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT AND RESIDENTS
The business operations of the Enel and EGP Groups are strictly regulated from an environmental standpoint at the national, EU and international levels. The legal framework on environmental matters concerns atmospheric emissions of pollutants, the pollution of waters and the disposal of wastes generated by the business operations related to the generation and distribution of electricity (including procedures related to the decommissioning of nuclear plants).
The Enel and EGP Groups incur considerable costs to adapt their structures and to render their business operations compliant with the requisites imposed under various environmental laws. Such laws require the implementation of the prevention and remediation measures and structures and influence the decisions and corporate strategies of the Enel and EGP Groups.
In such regard, also taking into account the particular attention focused by public opinion on environmental matters, it cannot be ruled out that the enactment, at the national or EU level, or in the countries where the Enel and EGP Groups operate, of more stringent regulatory provisions that result in a rise in costs or levels of liability faced by the Enel and EGP Groups on environmental matters, with consequent greater costs of prevention and of environmental restoration imposed upon the Enel and EGP Groups. Enel is not able to predict the nature and possible effects of such potential future events or regulatory provisions on its results of operations. The impossibility for the Enel and EGP Groups to recover, on the basis of tariff systems in force in Italy and in other countries where they operate, possible increased costs incurred for environmental protection, may have a negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of the Enel and EGP Groups.
As for the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, the EU regulatory framework imposes costs for the electricity sector upon the system for the exchange of CO2 quotas, which in the future may become increasingly stringent. The possible future imposition of increasingly onerous costs related to carbon dioxide emissions, as well as the rise in the instability of the quotas market, may have a negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of Enel and the Enel Group.
The Enel Group operates in the generation of electricity using nuclear plants through Endesa and Slovenské elektrárne A.S. ("SE"). As of September 30, 2015, Endesa held quotas in seven nuclear energy production plant the capacity of which totals 3,318 MW. As of the same date, Enel Group – through SE – owned in Slovakia four reactors in operation, for a total net capacity of 1,816 MW and, as of the Date of the Information Document, works are in progress for the construction of units 3 and 4 of the nuclear plant of Mochovce having a total net capacity of 876 MW. With reference to the SE, it must be highlighted that, on December 18, 2015, Enel Group, through its subsidiary Enel Produzione S.p.A., entered into an agreement with EP Slovakia BV ("EP Slovakia"), company controlled by Energetický a prumysový holding a.s. ("EPH") related to the sale of the shareholding held by Enel Produzione in SE, equal to 66% of the share capital of such company. The sale has been made through the contribution in a newly incorporated company ("HoldCo") of the whole shareholding held by Enel Produzione in SE. The transaction, whose completion is subject to the approval of the EU's Antitrust Authority, is set to take palace in two phases: during the first phase, Enel Produzione will sell a 50% stake of HoldCo's share capital to EP Slovakia; during the second phase, Enel Produzione or EP Slovakia, after 12 month from the achieving of the Trial Operation Pemit related to units 3 and 4 of the nuclear power plant of Mochovce, could exercise a put option or a call option. In accordance to the timing of the work, it is expected that such options will become exercisable within the end of the first semester of the 2019. After the exercise of one of the options, Enel Produzione will sell the remaining 50% stake of HoldCo's share capital to EP Slovakia. Moreover pursuant to the agreement, if the options will not become exercisable within the above mentioned terms, they will become exercisable anyway starting from June 30, 2022.
Even if Enel believes that all of SE's and Endesa's nuclear plants employ internationally accepted technologies and are operated in compliance with the standards in force in Western Europe, the shareholdings in such companies expose the Enel Group to the risk related to the possession and operation of plants that generate nuclear energy, including the risks related to the manipulation, treatment, transport, disposal and storage of radioactive materials and spent fuels, as well as the potentially harmful effects for the environment and human health.
In this regard, it should be noted that in the nuclear sector, in line with international treaties on the matter, the liability that may be attributed to the nuclear operator is subject to a maximum amount that is defined differently by the legislation of the individual countries. In particular, for Slovakia, the limit is set at Euro 75 million per event and in Spain at Euro 1,200 million per event. On the basis of international treaties, nuclear operators are under a duty to take out specific insurance policies covering their liability, with maximum coverage in the amount of the above-mentioned maximum liability.
The occurrence of one or more of the circumstances described above may have a negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of Enel and the Enel Group.
Lastly, the construction of plants through which the Enel and EGP Groups operate may, in certain cases, alter or modify the surrounding natural habitat and, in particular, may affect the landscape, give rise to accidents, noise pollution and changes in the existing flora and fauna.
In certain areas, the construction of plants is met with opposition on the part of associations or groups of local residents in consideration of the alleged change in the state of the territory and landscape existing prior to the construction of the plants.
Although the development of energy production plants is preceded by environmental impact and landscape studies, and on the surrounding communities, as well as the organization of meetings with residents and with other parties who may have interests affected by the development of the project, the plants under construction may not be viewed favorably or accepted by the communities affected. In addition, while the legal framework of the various countries where the Enel and EGP Groups operate provide for procedures that safeguard the environment and the landscape surrounding the plants, any opposition reiterated over time by the local communities may lead to the enactment of more restrictive rules or may render more difficult the obtainment of the necessary administrative authorizations and lead to a rise in costs.
Any opposition to the construction and/or operation of certain plants of the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, as well as a rise in oppositions before the competent bodies may hamper or delay the development of projects, with consequent negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of the Enel and EGP Groups.
1.2.14. RISKS RELATED TO CHANGES IN WEATHER
The consumption of electricity and natural gas varies considerably also on the basis of changes in weather. Therefore, substantial and repeated changes in climatic conditions may lead to significant differences in demand for energy and in the production mix, with a negative impact on the business, the performance and the financial situation of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and their respective Groups.
Moreover, the availability of hydroelectric, wind and sun sources varies on the basis of weather conditions in the places where the relevant plants are located and, in particular, on the basis of rainfall for the first type, wind for the second type and solar radiation for the third type, while the geothermal source is not subject to changes related to changes in weather.
Therefore, possible adverse weather conditions may lead to lower productivity and, therefore, profitability of Enel and EGP Groups' plants, also with reference to the measurements made during the development phase of the projects on the availability of the source and the forecasts on weather conditions and the consequent profitability of the plants, which may not materialize.
While technological diversification enables the Enel and EGP Groups to mitigate the risks related to the above-mentioned changes, the possibility of prolonged adverse weather conditions with regard to the various sources in which the same operate may give rise to a reduction in the electricity volumes produced by the Enel and EGP Groups, with consequent negative impact on the business and on the performance and on financial situation of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and their respective Groups .
1.2.15. RISKS RELATED THE POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INSTABILITY IN THE COUNTRIES WHERE THE GROUPS OF THE COMPANIES TAKING PART IN THE DEMERGER OPERATE
The Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger operate in a number of emerging countries which are exposed to risks related to, inter alia, social inequality, political instability, as well as significant fluctuations in inflation deriving from economies that are not very diversified and a high level of dependence upon commodities. Such countries may have financial markets that are not well developed, an inadequate protection of creditors due to the absence of efficient insolvency procedures, limitations on investments and significant fluctuations in exchange rates.
The Companies Taking Part in the Demerger cannot rule out the possibility that the occurrence of one or more of the circumstances referred to above in one or more of the countries in which the respective Groups operate may have adverse effects on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and their respective Groups.
1.2.16. RISKS RELATED TO MACROECONOMIC CLIMATE
The financial crisis that impacted the banking system and financial markets from 2008 until 2013, as well as the consequent worsening of macroeconomic conditions that gave rise to a contraction in consumption and industrial production at the worldwide level, have also caused a restriction in conditions for access to credit, causing a widespread and persistent volatility in the financial markets with particular repercussions in the debt and equity segments.
In addition, the trend in electricity and gas consumption remains, particularly for emerging economies and much less so for mature markets, influenced by the trend in industrial production, which constitutes one of the main indicators of economic trends at the worldwide level.
The above mentioned international financial difficulties have recently, along with other factors, led to an economic recession in certain mature geographic markets where the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger operate and a contraction in growth in certain emerging countries.
The current macroeconomic environment, characterized by low commodity prices and a weak Euro against the U.S. dollar, has encouraged the recovery of European economies, by supporting the export growth and the domestic demand recovery, increasing the confidence of both consumers and producers. In Latin America, the end of the economic cycle characterized by high commodity prices, which for years has been supported by a growing demand for raw materials mainly from China and other Asian economies, led the main economic and industrial indicators to slow down.
If a new slow-down in industrial production were to occur in advanced/mature countries and if the slowdowns in economic activities were to continue in the emerging countries, the contrition in energy consumption may last in one or more of the markets where the Groups of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger operate, with a consequent adverse effect on the business, results of operations, balance sheets and financial conditions of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger and their respective Groups.
1.2.17. RISKS RELATED TO TAXATION AND TAXES APPLIED IN THE COUNTRIES WHERE THE ENEL AND EGP GROUPS OPERATE
The Enel and EGP Groups are subject to the payment of taxes and duties in various jurisdictions and determine the amounts due on the basis of the interpretation of the tax laws and regulations in force in the countries where they operate. The Enel and EGP Groups may, therefore, incur adverse effects deriving from tax audits or assessments as a result of possible different interpretations of the tax laws applicable to them, including the payment of interest and sanctions. As a result of the foregoing, and also in the event of the enactment of new tax laws or changes in existing tax laws, the financial position of the Enel and EGP Groups and their ability to repay their debts may be materially impacted.
1.2.18. RISKS RELATED TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE PIPELINE
The Enel Green Power Group has developed internally the specific criteria and procedures for the classification of its pipeline, which may differ from those used by other operators in the sector and which are not verified or ratified by third parties.
In particular, the Enel Green Power Group has developed a methodology for the classification of projects on the basis of their different stages of development and, therefore, their probability of being successfully completed, which classifies them as "Potential", "Likely" and "Highly Confident". The total projects comprising the pipeline (totaling, as of September 30, 2015, approximately 21 GW) multiplied by the likelihood of their success (20% for "Potential" projects, 50% for "Likely" projects and 90% for "Highly Confident" projects) is identified by the Group as the net pipeline. As of September 30, 2015, the value of the Group's net pipeline totaled approximately 7 GW.
The classification of pipeline projects is updated on a periodic basis, through a verification for each project of the state of progress in light of the following factual elements, and identified on the basis of the operating experience gained by the Enel Green Power Group's structure: (i) exclusivity rights in the project; (ii) rights to the land; (iii) valuation of the site and resources; (iv) obtainment of permits and (v) connection to the transmission grids.
Although the classification of the projects is carried out on the basis of rigorous procedure and elements that are as objective as possible, it cannot be ruled out that the estimates and forecasts made by the Enel Green Power Group on the likelihood of success of the Enel Green Power Group's development products may turn out to be inaccurate, which could have adverse effects on the Enel Green Power Group's development projects and, consequently, on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and/or financial condition of the Enel Green Power Group.
1.2.19. RISKS RELATED TO TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS
The technologies used in the production of energy using renewable sources are continuously evolving and are subject to rapid changes and to an ongoing process of improvement, particularly with reference to the improvement of performance, including through the use of accumulation systems, integration in urban environments and the use of new resources such as oceans.
In order to remain competitive, the cost of energy produced and to develop its business, the Enel Green Power Group must continuously update its technologies and engage in innovation activities in order to render them more efficient, including by investing in projects aimed at the integration of energy accumulation systems with existing power plants fueled by renewable sources, in order to improve their efficiency, while preventing, to the maximum extent possible, risks related to technological discontinuities. Therefore, innovation constitutes one of the key elements in the Enel Green Power Group's pursuit of sustainable growth.
The Enel Green Power Group realizes innovation programs which it finances mainly through its own funds and public funds (of both Italian and EU origin). In particular, in year 2014, total outlays for the realization of innovation programs incurred by the Enel Green Power Group amounted to Euro 16.9 million, or approximately 0.6% of the consolidated revenues for that year (outlays in 2015 are in line with those incurred in 2014). Over the period 2016 – 2019, it is expected that the outlays to be dedicated to these activities will be even greater, totaling approximately Euro 120 million.
If the Enel Green Power Group were not in a position to acquire or develop adequately the technologies available on the market in the context of the various sources in which it operates, it may have to change or reduce its development objectives in certain technologies or incur a reduction in the efficiency of its plants, which could have adverse effects on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of the Enel Green Power Group. Furthermore, the cost of development or acquisition of necessary technologies is significant and may rise, which could have adverse effects on the business, results of operations, balance sheet and financial condition of the Enel Green Power Group.
1.2.20. RISKS RELATED TO RELATIONSHIPS WITH STRATEGIC PARTNERS
In certain of the countries in which they operate, the Enel and EGP Groups pursue their own development programs through, inter alia, co-development or joint venture agreements (in certain albeit limited cases, with non-controlling shareholdings) with local or international operators. The decision to enter into agreements with third party developers or operators is generally driven by the opportunity of benefiting from the experience and consolidated presence of such operators on the local market.
The possible failure to reach an agreement with international or local partners on the procedures and timelines for the development of a project or on the management of the same could have an adverse effect on the above-mentioned Groups' capacity to develop certain projects.
The Enel and EGP Groups may, therefore, have to change or reduce their development objectives in certain areas or technologies, which could have possible adverse effects on their respective business operations, results of operations, balance sheets and financial conditions.
Moreover, the Enel and EGP Groups have entered into in a number of countries development agreements with local partners, which provide for specific obligations for such partners. If such partners were to fail to honor their commitments under the agreements entered into, delays may arise in the pursuit of the development objectives, which could have possible adverse effects on the Enel and EGP Groups' respective business operations, results of operations, balance sheets and financial conditions. The possible exit by strategic partners from such joint venture agreements may also give rise to the renegotiation with third parties of possible agreements entered into by the joint venture that contain clauses that allow for the termination of the agreements in the event of change of control.
(See Chapter 4 of the Information Document).
1.2.21. CONTROL BY THE MEF OVER ENEL
As of the Date of this Information Document, Enel is subject to de facto control, within the meaning set forth in art. 93 of the TUF, on the part of the MEF, which holds a 25.5% stake in Enel's share capital (such shareholding, moreover, will be reduced as a result of the Demerger, as indicated in Paragraph 2.1.3 below).
As long as it continues to remain the main shareholder of Enel, the MEF may influence the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting, including on the distribution of dividends. The MEF's favorable vote, where exercised, may also be determinant with regard to the election of the majority of the directors, in accordance with the slate voting mechanism provided under art. 14 of the By-laws.
Enel is not subject to the exercise of any direction or coordination activities on the part of the MEF, within the meaning set forth in art. 2497 of the Civil Code, pursuant to the provisions of art. 19, paragraph 6, of Draft law no. 78/2009 (converted by Law no. 102/2009) which clarified that the Italian State is not subject to the provisions set forth in the Civil Code on the direction and coordination of companies.

1.3. RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
1.3.1. RISKS RELATED TO THE EQUITY INVESTMENT
Following the completion of the Demerger, the holders of EGP shares (with the exception of Enel and those who may exercise the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale) will become the holders of Enel shares. Enel's business following the Demerger will have characteristics that differ significantly from that of EGP prior to the Demerger and, therefore, after the Demerger, the market price of Enel shares may be affected by factors other than those that influence the market price of EGP shares as of the Date of the Information Document.
Moreover, the shares issued to service the Demerger, like the other ordinary Enel shares outstanding, present the risk elements intrinsic in investments in listed shares of the same type. The holders of ordinary Enel shares may sell their investments on the regulated markets on which Enel shares are listed. The share price may be subject to fluctuations, which may be significant, and the shares may be subject to difficulties in selling equity investments which are common and generalized, regardless of the company or the amount of the securities being sold, and sale offers may not be met with adequate and timely buy bids on the market.

2.1.2. Description of the structure, terms and conditions of the Demerger
2.1.2.1 Procedures, conditions and terms of the Demerger
Type, procedures and terms of the Demerger
The transaction illustrated in this Information Document, related to the integration of Enel Green Power into the Enel Group, will be achieved – taking into account the regulatory bounds set forth by Legislative Decree no. 79 of March, 16, 19991 – by a partial non-proportional demerger of Enel Green Power in favor of its controlling shareholder Enel, with the issue upon exchange, and non-proportional assignment to the Demerged Company's shareholders of newly issued shares in the Beneficiary Company.
In this regard, the Boards of Directors of Enel and Enel Green Power held on November 17, 2015 approved, in accordance with art. 2506-bis and art. 2506-ter of the Civil Code, the Demerger Plan, which entails:
- the assignment by Enel Green Power in favor of Enel of a set of assets demerged (the "Set of Assets Demerged", as better described in Paragraph 2.2 below), essentially consisting of (i) the totalitarian shareholding held by EGP in Enel Green Power International, a holding company organized and existing under Dutch law which holds shareholdings in companies operating in the renewable energies sectors in North America, Central America and South America, Europe, South Africa and India, and (ii) assets, liabilities, agreements, legal relationships pertaining to such shareholding; and
- the retention by EGP of all remaining assets and liabilities other than those comprising the Set of Assets Demerged (and, therefore, essentially, the Italian assets and the limited remaining foreign shareholdings).
As of the Date of Effect of the Demerger (as defined below), the quota of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged will be exchanged on the basis of the Exchange Ratio defined in Paragraph 2.2.4 below; the Enel shares issued to service the Demerger exchange will be assigned to EGP's shareholders in accordance with the non-proportional assignment criterion also indicated in Paragraph 2.2.4. By virtue of such non-proportional assignment, all of the EGP shares held by shareholders other than Enel will be exchanged with Enel shares, while Enel will exchange solely a portion of its shares held in EGP; such shares will be simultaneously cancelled in accordance with the provisions of art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code, without proceeding with the assignment of the same. As a result, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger: (i) the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital by the amount indicated in Paragraph 2.2.2 below; (ii) all of the EGP shares exchanged with Enel shares will be cancelled, resulting in a reduction of the share capital of EGP; and (iii) Enel will be the sole shareholder of EGP, while all of the other shareholders of the Demerged Company will become shareholders of Enel.
The effectiveness of the Demerger is, in any case, conditioned upon not only the completion of the corporate procedures, but also the Condition Precedent (as defined below).
The Demerger Plan was prepared on the basis of the financial statements of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger as of September 30, 2015, which were drafted and approved – pursuant to and for purposes of art. 2501-quater of the Civil Code, cited with regard to demergers in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code – by the Boards of Directors of Enel and Enel Green Power which approved the Demerger Plan.
For a description of the methodologies used to determine the Exchange Ratio and the criterion for the nonproportional assignment of the shares at the time of exchange, reference is made to Paragraph 2.2.4 below.
On December 7, 2015, the Demerger Plan, for both Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, was registered in the Companies Register of Rome in accordance with art. 2501-ter, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code, cited in art. 2506-bis, paragraph 5, of the Civil Code
On December 11, 2015 the Demerger Plan, the financial statements drafted in accordance with art. 2501 quater of the Italian Civil Code, the explanatory reports by EGP's and Enel's Board of Directors drafted in accordance with art. 2501-quinquies of the Civil Code, the expert's report drafted in accordance with article 2501-sexies of the Civil Code, and the financial statements for the three years 2014, 2013 and 2012 of the two companies taking part in the Demerger, have been filed by Enel and EGP, at the respective registered offices and published on the websites www.enel.com and www.enelgreenpower.com, in accordance with article 2501-septies of the Civil Code, cited in article 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Civil Code, and in the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com). In addition, in accordance with the provisions of art. 2506-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, an appraisal report on the Set of
1 Legislative Decree No. 79 of March 16, 1999, imposes to Enel to act as an holding, with mere functions of strategic planning and coordination of the industrial structure and activities performed by its subsidiaries. Such Legislative Decree also provides for the company separation of the activities of generation, transmission, distribution and sale, according to which Enel may not carry out the operating activities conducted by EGP at the Date of the Information Document.
Assets Demerged have been drafted by an independent expert, which have been filed with the companies register of Rome and published through filing at the registered offices of Enel and EGP and on the websites www.enelgreenpower.com and www.enel.com during the 30 days preceding the extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Enel and EGP called to approve the Demerger and, lastly, filed with the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com).
In accordance with art. 57 paragraph 1 letter a) of the Issuers Regulation, the publication of a listing prospectus in connection with the Demerger is not envisaged since the number of Enel shares issued to service the Demerger exchange represent less than 10% of the value of Enel shares issued in the last 12 months.
The extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger have been called on January 11, 2016, in a single call, to approve the Demerger. From the date of registration of the relevant resolutions in the Companies Register of Rome, (i) a term of sixty days will start to run, within which the corporate creditors of the two companies may present oppositions against the Demerger in accordance with art. 2503 of the Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Civil Code and (ii) a term of fifteen days will start to run, within which the shareholders of Enel Green Power who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger may exercise the Right of Withdrawal and/or the Right of Sale.
In compliance with art. 47 of Law No. 428/1990 as subsequently amended and supplemented, Enel and EGP will complete the trade union disclosure and consultation procedure with regard to the Demerger.
Upon the completion of the above activities, the deed of Demerger will be executed.
As a result of the Demerger, EGP's shares will cease to be traded on the MTA, and on the Spanish continuous electronic trading system (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil, SIBE).
The Demerger as a transaction between related parties
As regards Enel, the Demerger transaction, while being carried out with a related party, is exempt from the application of the special Procedure for transactions with related party - adopted in accordance with the Regulation on related party transactions approved by Consob through resolution no. 17221 dated March 12, 2010, as subsequently amended and supplemented (the "RPT Regulation") - since the transaction is being concluded with a subsidiary in which there do not exist significant interests of other related parties (within the meaning set forth in art. 14, paragraph 2, of the RPT Regulation and art. 13.3, letter d), of the abovementioned Procedure). In consideration of the foregoing, no involvement on the part of Enel's Related Parties Committee was required for the approval of the Demerger Plan.
As regards Enel Green Power, under the RPT Regulation and the related party transaction procedure approved by Enel Green Power's Board of Directors on December 1, 2010, most recently amended on February 3, 2014 ( "EGP's RPT Procedure"), the Demerger constitutes for Enel Green Power a transaction of "major importance" with a related party.
Indeed, Enel exercises over Enel Green Power a de jure control pursuant to art. 2359, paragraph 1, no. 1, of the Civil Code and art. 93 of the TUF. In light of the foregoing, Enel Green Power's Board of Directors approved the Demerger Plan upon a reasoned favorable opinion issued by Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee on the latter's interest in concluding the transaction, as well as on the advantageousness and substantial fairness of its conditions.
Specifically, the Demerger was submitted to Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee which examined it with support from the independent financial advisors Lazard and Prof. Enrico Laghi, as well as the independent legal advisor Prof. Agostino Gambino; the latter advisors were selected on the basis of their proven capacity, professional expertise and experience in analogous or similar transactions.
The independent directors of Enel Green Power (Giovanni Battista Lombardo, Paola Muratorio and Luciana Tarozzi) were also invited to attend, as they often did, the meetings of Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee, in order to reach a broad consensus on the assessments and analyses delegated to the committee.
Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee, in accordance with art. 8, paragraph 1, letter b) of the RPT Regulation, as well as art. 6 of the RPT Procedure EGP, was involved in the negotiations and review phase, through timely, complete and adequate information flows, which enable the Committee to remain continuously up-to-date on the status of activities performed. The information flows concerned, inter alia, the main terms and conditions of the transaction, the timetable envisaged for its realization, the valuation process proposed, the reasons underlying the same transaction, as well as any risks for Enel Green Power and its subsidiaries. In this context, Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee exercised its right to request information and formulate observations, receiving prompt replies to its requests and observations from the management involved in the transaction.
Upon the conclusion of its activities, Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee, taking into account, inter alia, the valuation results reached by the financial advisors appointed by the Committee and, in particular, of the fairness opinion issued by the same on the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, on November 16, 2015, issued unanimously its reasoned favorable opinion on Enel Green Power's interest to conclude the transaction, as well as the advantageousness and substantial fairness of its conditions, which was subsequently sent to Enel Green Power's Board of Directors and is attached to this Information Document as Schedule 11.
For a complete description of the procedure followed, as well as the activities performed by Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee and the contents of the opinion, reference is made to the disclosure document provided under art. 5 of the RPT Regulation, which was made available to the public on November 24, 2015, at Enel Green Power's registered office at Viale Regina Margherita, 125, Rome, as well as on its website (www.enelgreenpower.com) and on the authorized storage mechanism NIS-Storage (www.emarketstorage.com).
Revocation of EGP shares from listing
As a result of the Demerger, the shares of Enel Green Power will cease to be listed on the MTA and on the Spanish continuous electronic trading system (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil, SIBE).
Conditions of the Demerger
The effectiveness of the Demerger is conditioned upon the circumstance that the total Liquidation Value of the EGP shares with respect to which the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale are validly exercised does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million/00) (the "Condition Precedent"). In such regard, merely for the sake of clarity, it should be recalled that, as illustrated in this Information Document and announced to the market on November 18, 2015, the unitary liquidation value per EGP share, determined in accordance with art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code, is Euro 1.780.
Enel and EGP will announce the data related to the satisfaction or the non-satisfaction of the Condition Precedent, through a notice published on their respective websites and in at least one national daily newspaper.
The Condition Precedent will be deemed nonetheless satisfied – even in the event that the above-mentioned limit is exceeded - if Enel, within 60 calendar days of the last registration with the Companies Register of Rome of the shareholders' meeting resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to proceed with the purchase of all of the shares for which the abovementioned rights have been exercised.
Procedure for assigning the Enel shares to Enel Green Power's shareholders, date of entitlement to the same and rights related to such shares
The assignment to EGP's shareholders other than Enel of the newly issued shares of the Beneficiary Company will take place, under a regime of dematerialization and through authorized intermediaries, starting on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, with the timing and procedures to be announced to the market through the publication of a special notice on the Demerged Company's website and in at least one national newspaper.
The newly issued Enel shares will be listed on the MTA like the shares of the Beneficiary Company already outstanding.
No charges will be imposed upon EGP's shareholders in connection with the exchange procedures.
A service will be made available to EGP's shareholders in order to allow for rounding to the immediately lower or higher number of Enel shares due upon the application of the Exchange Ratio, without any additional expenses, stamp duties or fees being charged. Alternatively, different procedures may be activated in order to ensure the overall successful outcome of the transaction.
Considering that, as already mentioned, the EGP shares are currently admitted to trading also on the Spanish regulated markets and that the Enel shares assigned at the time of the exchange will not be admitted to trading on such markets, the Spanish Regulatory Authority (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has notified that, in line with the previous similar cases that have occurred on the Spanish markets, it is necessary to appoint a dedicated "connection/reference" intermediary (referred to as the "entidad de enlace"), in order to enable the shareholders who, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, will hold EGP shares admitted to trading on the above-mentioned Spanish markets (through the Spanish centralized management system, Iberclear) to sell on the MTA, during the month following the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Enel shares received in exchange, without any additional costs related to the sale on a foreign market. After the above-mentioned one-month period, the above-mentioned shareholders may purchase or sell the Enel shares in Italy on the MTA through authorized intermediaries, incurring the costs of the transaction. With regard to the foregoing, the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger will appoint such intermediary in time to execute the foregoing activities and will promptly inform the market of such appointment.
The Enel shares issued to service the Exchange Ratio will have regular entitlement.
The Enel shares issued to service the Exchange Ratio will attribute to their holders rights that are identical to those associated with Enel shares outstanding at the time of their issuance.
Date on which the legal effects of the Demerger will start
The start date of the civil law effects of the Demerger will correspond with the date of the last of the registrations envisaged under art. 2506-quater of the Italian Civil Code, or such other later date that may be indicated in the deed of Demerger ( "Date of Effect of the Demerger"). For such purpose, the Shareholders' Meetings of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger will grant a specific mandate to the boards of directors in order to define the Date of Effect of the Demerger, if the same falls after the last of the registrations in the Companies Register.
Starting on the same date, the transactions pertaining to the balance sheet elements assigned to the Beneficiary Company will be entered in the financial statement of the same Beneficiary Company, with all related accounting and tax effects.
Accounting treatment of the Demerger and date on which the accounting effects start for Enel and Enel Green Power
For the purposes of art. 2501-ter, paragraph 1, no. 6 of the Civil Code, cited in art. 2506-quater of the Civil Code, the accounting effects of the Demerger will start on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, since the accounting effects of the Demerger will be attributed to the financial statement of the Beneficiary Company starting on such date.
Tax impacts of the Demerger on Enel and Enel Green Power
For purposes of direct taxes and pursuant to art. 173, paragraph 1, of D.P.R. No. 917 of December 22, 1986, (the "Tax Code" or "Tuir"), the Demerger is neutral from a tax standpoint for the companies taking part in it and, therefore, does not give rise to either a realization or a distribution of capital gains or capital losses of the assets of the Demerged Company being assigned.
The balance sheet elements of the Demerged Company to be assigned to the Beneficiary Company will maintain the values most recently assigned for tax purposes to the Demerged Company.
The so-called subjective positions of the Demerged Company and the related instrumental obligations will be assigned the two Beneficiary Company and to the Demerged Company on a pro-rata basis in proportion to their respective quotas transferred or maintained of the net shareholders' equity for accounting purposes, except in the case of subjective positions specifically or generally related to elements of the demerged assets which, as such, will remain attached to such elements under their respective holders.
As regards the effects of the Demerger for the shareholders of the Demerged Company, the Demerger is neutral from a tax standpoint, since it does not constitute either a realization or distribution of capital gains or capital losses, and does not give rise to the attainment of revenues; as for the tax value of the shares of the Demerged Company held by shareholders other than Enel, it should be noted that according to the current opinion expressed by the Revenues Agency, such cost would not change as a result of the transaction and it would be attributed to the Enel shares acquired as a result of the transaction.
However, with reference to the shareholders of the Demerged Company who are not residents of Italy, we suggest that they carry out appropriate verifications on the tax regime in force in their respective countries of residence.
For all matters not expressly indicated herein, for purposes of income taxes, the provisions of art. 173 of the Tuir shall apply.
Demerger transactions are not specifically subject to the regional tax on productive activities ("IRAP"). However, as clarified by the Revenues Agency, for such purposes as well, a general principle of tax neutrality would apply, pursuant to which the Demerger does not give rise to any taxable element, or the automatic attribution of higher values entered on the financial statement as a result of such transaction.
For purposes of indirect taxation, the Transaction falls outside the scope of application of VAT pursuant to art. 2, paragraph 3, letter f), of D.P.R. No. 633 of October 26, 1972, and is subject to registry tax in a fixed amount pursuant to art. 4, letter b), first part, of the Rate attached to D.P.R. No. 131/1986.
Assessments on the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale
Right of Withdrawal
Any shareholders of EGP who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger will have a Right of Withdrawal, pursuant to art. 2437, paragraph 1, letter a), of the Italian Civil Code, (the "Right of Withdrawal"), since Enel, the Beneficiary Company of the Demerger, has a clause in its corporate purpose that allows for the conduct of business operations that differ significantly from what is described in EGP's corporate purpose clause.
The Right of Withdrawal may be exercised at the unit settlement value for Enel Green Power shares, determined, pursuant to art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, exclusively with reference to the arithmetic average of closing prices of Enel Green Power shares on the MTA over the six months preceding the publication of the notice of call of Enel Green Power's shareholders' meeting (the "Liquidation Value").
In accordance with the provisions of art. 127-bis, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Finance Act, any person in whose favor, after the date indicated in art. 83-sexies, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Finance Act for the right to take part in Enel Green Power's shareholders'meeting called to approve the Demerger Plan (or, in other words, after December 29, 2015), but prior to the commencement of works at such Shareholders' Meeting, a registration in the relevant accounting records of Enel Green Power shares is made, will be deemed included among those who did not take part in the approve of the resolution and, therefore, will be entitled to exercise the Right of Withdrawal.
In accordance with art. 2437-bis of the Italian Civil Code, persons entitled to exercise the Right of Withdrawal may exercise such right, with respect to all or a portion of the shares held, through a registered letter (the "Notice of Withdrawal") which must be sent to Enel Green Power's registered office within fifteen calendar days from the date of registration of the related shareholders' meeting resolution.
Subject to the provisions of art. 127-bis of the TUF, the withdrawing shareholder shall send to the Company, through the same procedures provided for the transmission of the Notice of Withdrawal and within the deadlines provided under the law, through, an appropriate notice by the authorized intermediary where the shares are deposited that certifies (i) the ownership in a securities account of the shares subject to the Right of Withdrawal, as of the date of the Shareholders' Meeting the resolution of which justifies the exercise of such Right of Withdrawal and (ii) ownership in a securities account of the shares subject to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal as of the date of the Notice of Withdrawal.
The Notice of Withdrawal shall contain the following information:
- the details of the withdrawing shareholder, including his/her tax code;
- the domicile of the withdrawing shareholder for notifications related to the procedure for the liquidation of the shares subject to the Right of Withdrawal, including a telephone number and e-mail address;
- the number of shares for which the Right of Withdrawal is exercised;
- the IBAN code of the bank account to which the Liquidation Value of the shares subject to the Right of Withdrawal is to be paid.
The Notice of Withdrawal must also contain an indication of the intermediary where the shares subject to the Right of Withdrawal are deposited and the certification that such shares are free and clear of pledges or other encumbrances in favor of third parties. If the shares subject to withdrawal are subject to pledges or other encumbrances in favor of third parties, the withdrawing shareholder shall also include as an attachment to the Notice of Withdrawal a declaration by the secured creditor or the person/party in whose favor the encumbrance has been imposed, through which such person/party grants his/its irrevocable and unconditional consent to the release of the shares from the pledge and/or from the encumbrance and to the related liquidation in accordance with the instructions given by the withdrawing shareholder.
Information on the procedures and deadlines for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal will be announced by Enel Green Power in accordance with the procedures provided under applicable laws and regulations in force. In accordance with art. 2437-bis, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, the Right of Withdrawal may not be exercised and, if already exercised, will be null and void if, within ninety days, Enel Green Power were to revoke the resolution justifying such exercise.
If one or more of EGP's shareholders were to exercise the Right of Withdrawal, the liquidation process will be carried out in accordance with art. 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code. In particular, the terms of the pre-emption offer that will be addressed to all of EGP's shareholders, will be announced in accordance with the procedures provided under the applicable legal framework, with the clarification in such regard that the related announcements/notices will be published in at least one national daily newspaper and on EGP's website www.enelgreenpower.com, and on the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com).
Right of Sale
Enel Green Power's shareholders who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger will be entitled to have their own Enel Green Power shares purchased by Enel pursuant to and for purposes of art. 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Right of Sale").
The Right of Sale may concern all or even only a portion of the EGP shares held by the shareholders of the Demerged Company who exercise the Right of Sale. The price per share of the EGP share will be equal to the Liquidation Value determined in accordance with art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, on the basis of the provisions of art. 2506-bis, paragraph 2, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Right of Sale may be exercised at the same terms and conditions for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal. In any case, the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal may not be exercised for the same share.
It should be noted in such regard that the process of liquidating the shares for which the Right of Sale is exercised will take place in the same context as the process of liquidating the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal is exercised, as governed by art. 2437-quater, of the Italian Civil Code.
* * *
With reference to the process of liquidating Enel Green Power shares for which the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale has been exercised, Enel declares its intention to exercise, in full, its option right for the quota to which it is entitled, and to exercise its right of pre-emption on any Enel Green Power shares for which the option right has not been exercised in accordance with art. 2437-quater, third paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code.
The effect of the Right of Sale and of the Right of Withdrawal, and therefore the related liquidation are conditioned upon the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent and, in any case, the completion of the Demerger.
On November 18, 2015, the unit settlement Liquidation Value of Enel Green Power's ordinary shares with respect to which the right of withdrawal or right of sale may be exercised was announced. Such value was determined in the amount of Euro 1.780 per share, pursuant to and for purposes of, respectively, arts. 2437 ter, paragraph 5, and art. 2506-bis, paragraph 4, second sentence, of the Civil Code
Amendments to Enel's by-laws
Following the Demerger, Enel will increase its share capital through the issuance of up to a maximum of 770,588,712 new ordinary shares, with regular entitlement and nominal value of Euro 1.00 each, applying the Exchange Ratio and procedures for the assignment of the shares referred to in points 4 and 5 of the Demerger Plan.
The by-laws of the Beneficiary Company post-Demerger are attached as Schedule D to the Demerger Plan which is, in turn, attached to this Information Document.
It should be stressed that numerical expressions certifying the changes in capital and the number of shares comprising it, deriving from the Demerger, to the by-laws of the Beneficiary Company, which will enter into force as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger will be specified in their final amount in the deed of Demerger, in accordance with the principles and criteria described in the Demerger Plan; to such end, the Shareholders' Meetings of the companies taking part in the Demerger will grant a special mandate to the boards of directors in order to define the capital amounts and the number of shares comprising it.
Amendments to Enel Green Power's by-laws
As a result of the completion of the Demerger, Enel Green Power's share capital will be reduced from its current total amount of Euro 1,000,000,000 (one billion/00) to a total of Euro 272,000,000 (two hundred seventy two million/00), comprised of 1,360,000,000 (one billion three hundred sixty million/00) ordinary shares having a value per share of Euro 0.20 (zero/20) each, on account of the 3,640,000,000 Enel Green Power shares representing the quota of the share capital of the Demerged Company corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged forming the subject matter of exchange that will be cancelled in full as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger. Moreover, Enel Green Power's shareholders' meeting called to approve the Demerger will called to resolve upon the adoption, with effect starting on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, of new by-laws that set forth provisions that are more consistent with those of by-laws of a non-listed company since, following the Demerger, the Enel Green Power shares will cease to be traded on the MTA and on the Spanish continuous electronic trading system (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil, SIBE). It should be noted that Enel Green Power's by-laws post-Demerger are substantially in line with that of other companies of the Enel Group whose shares are not listed on regulated markets.
The by-laws of the Demerged Company post-Demerger (attached as schedule B to the Demerger Plan, in turn attached as a schedule to this Information Document), will be amended, inter alia, as follows:

-
d) the following amendments aimed at reflecting the circumstance that, starting on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the provisions of law on companies whose shares are listed on regulated markets or widely held by the public to a significant extent will not apply to Enel Green Power:

2.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE BALANCE SHEET ELEMENTS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO ENEL
2.2.1. Balance sheet elements to be transferred to Enel
The Demerger will be approved by resolution on the basis of the financial statements of Enel and Enel Green Power as of September 30, 2015, attached as schedules E and F to the Demerger Plan, which is in turn attached to this Information Document.
The Demerger will give rise to the assignment to Enel of the Set of Assets Demerged, consisting in almost all of Enel Green Power's foreign shareholdings and financial assets, while EGP will keep its Italian assets and the remaining foreign shareholdings.
In particular, the balance sheet elements and related legal relationships which, as a result of the Demerger, will be assigned to the Beneficiary Company are the following:
- 1) totalitarian shareholding in the company organized and existing under Dutch law, Enel Green Power International BV;
- 2) short-term financial receivable owed by the company Enel Green Power North America Ltd. in connection with a financial restructuring transaction concluded in 2014; the exchange rate risk related to such financial receivable is hedged through a currency forward contract. In particular, such financial restructuring operation and the reduction of the share capital of Enel Green Power North America Ltd. was necessary to achieve the financial balance between funding sources and related investments, following the implementation of a partnership involving the sale of a minority stake, although for significant amount, of a portfolio of renewable energy assets in North America;
- 3) legal relationships related to the long-term credit line with Enel Green Power International, which, as of September 30, 2015, has been entirely used;
- 4) legal relationships with the six employees pertaining to the business unit comprising the Set of Assets Demerged and the consequent asset-side and liability-side balance sheet items referring to the same;
- 5) guarantees granted by EGP in the interest of Enel Green Power International and its subsidiaries as security for a number of commitments undertaken (the "Guarantee"). Such guarantees constitute, in particular, parent company and bank guarantees, which have been issued in respect of commitments raised mainly in the context of passive loan agreements, supply or service agreements, agreements for the development cycle of electrical systems (such as the participation in tenders for the construction of the plant, environmental guarantees, guarantees required from concessions) as well as energy sale agreements.
The detailed description of the asset-side and liability-side balance sheet elements and related legal relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged which will remain assigned to the Beneficiary Company as a result of the Demerger is set forth in schedule G to the Demerger Plan which is, in turn, attached as a schedule to this Information Document.
In any case, where the assignment of assets, liabilities, rights or obligations is not discernible from the Demerger Plan, such elements shall be deemed assigned to the Beneficiary Company where the same pertain to the Set of Assets Demerged.
It should be further noted that any windfall assets or contingent liabilities that may arise after the Date of Effect of the Demerger shall remain, respectively, for the benefit of or borne by the Beneficiary Company provided that they pertain to the Set of Assets Demerged.
The composition of the shareholders' equity for accounting purposes of EGP and Enel, after the Demerger, is set forth in specific tables (respectively called "Composition of the shareholders' equity of the Demerged Company ante and post Demerger" and "Composition of the shareholders' equity of the Beneficiary Company ante and post Demerger") set forth in Schedules H and I to the Demerger Plan which is, in turn, attached as a schedule to this Information Document.
It should be noted, in conclusion, that:
- the Set of Assets Demerged includes the contractual relationships pertaining thereto, including the employment relationships with the six human resources, as indicated in detail in the Demerger Plan;
- the asset-side and liability-side balance sheet elements and the legal relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged will be those existing on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, therefore also taking into account the changes that will take place between the date of reference of the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 of the Demerged Company and the Date of Effect of the Demerger, as a result of the trends in day-to-day business operations. Therefore, any differences in the value/existence of such elements and relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged, between September 30, 2015 and the Date of Effect of the Demerger, shall give rise to the registration of a credit/debit item between the Demerged Company and the Beneficiary Company.
The formal registration of the totalitarian shareholding in the company organized under Dutch law, Enel Green Power International, assigned as a result of the Demerger by Enel Green Power to Enel, will be carried out in accordance with applicable provisions of law.
Before executing the deed of Demerger, Enel and Enel Green Power will take all actions necessary and/or advisors in order to enable Enel to take over the Guarantees included within the Set of Assets Demerged and the consequent release of Enel Green Power from the obligations envisaged thereunder, negotiating with the counterparties all appropriate agreements and/or legal deeds.
For those Guarantees with respect to which by the Date of Effect of the Demerger it is not possible to perfect what is referred to above, Enel and Enel Green Power will take all actions that may be necessary or useful to ensure that Enel replaces Enel Green Power in the obligations arising under the Guarantees. It remains agreed that if Enel Green Power were not released from the obligations arising under the above-mentioned Guarantees, all related costs, liabilities and responsibilities will be taken over in their entirety by the Beneficiary Company.
2.2.2. Changes in Enel Green Power's shareholders' equity, Enel's capital increase
The changes to the composition of the Net Shareholders' Equity of the Demerged Company deriving from the Demerger are attributable to the following:

-
decrease in Other Reserves, including the quota corresponding to the Legal Reserve attributable to the decrease in share capital, in the amount of Euro 2,936,162,218 (two billion nine hundred thirty six million one hundred sixty two thousand two hundred eighteen/00);

The changes in the composition of the Shareholders' Equity of the Beneficiary Company deriving from the Demerger, assuming that no shareholder of Enel Green Power exercises the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale, are attributable to:

- an increase in Other Reserves, in the amount of Euro 2,302,519,071 (two billion three hundred two million five hundred nineteen thousand seventy one /00), corresponding to the excess over the theoretical issue price of the shares (equal to Euro 3.988 Euro per share corresponding to the Stock Exchange price quote for the Enel share on September 30, 2015) with respect to their nominal value;
- decrease in the Other Reserves, in the amount of Euro 7,250,000 (seven million two hundred fifty thousand /00), corresponding to an estimate of the costs qualifiable as transaction costs directly attributable to the Demerger, net of the related tax effect.

2.2.4. The assignment criterion and the Exchange Ratio
Since this transaction is a demerger with a non-proportional assignment, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the portion of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged, consisting of 3,640,000,000 shares of EGP (the "EGP Shares exchanged"), will be exchanged on the basis of the Exchange Ratio indicated below, in accordance with the following proportions:
- (i) EGP's shareholders other than Enel will exchange all of their shares held in EGP;
- (ii) Enel will exchange only a portion of the shares held in EGP, corresponding to the number of EGP Shares exchanged, after deducting the EGP Shares exchanged by EGP's shareholders other than Enel.
As indicated in the Demerger Plan, for purposes of determining the above-mentioned number of EGP Shares exchanged, respectively, by Enel and EGP's shareholders other than Enel, and therefore the criterion for the non-proportional assignment of the newly issued shares of the Beneficiary Company to the shareholders of the Demerged Company, the Boards of Directors of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, after having reviewed the reports by the respective financial advisors indicated above and with their support, have assigned to such Set of Assets Demerged a value corresponding to 72.8 percent of the entire value of EGP before the Demerger (see Paragraph 2.2.5 below).
The Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP, at the meetings held on November 17, 2015, after having reviewed the reports provided by the respective financial advisors indicated above and with their support (see Paragraph 2.2.5 below) – and, as regards the Demerged Company, acknowledging the Related Parties Committee's reasoned unanimous favorable opinion, attached to this Information Document in Schedule 11 – approved the following Exchange Ratio: 0.486 newly issued Enel shares for each EGP Share exchanged (the "Exchange Ratio").
No cash adjustments are envisaged.
As a result, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital through the issuance of up to 1,769,040,000 (one billion seven hundred sixty nine million forty thousand) shares – with regular entitlement and a nominal value of Euro 1.00 each - in favor of the shareholders of the Demerged Company on the basis of the Exchange Ratio. The amount of Enel's capital increase to service the Exchange Ratio may not exceed the value attributed to the Set of Assets Demerged under the appraisal report by the independent expert drafted in accordance with the provisions of art. 2506-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code.
In particular:
- a) the shareholders of EGP other than Enel will be assigned by applying the Exchange Ratio a total of up to a maximum of 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of the exchange, of a total of 1,585,573,483 EGP shares held by such shareholders, while
- b) Enel will be assigned a total of 998,451,288 Enel shares with simultaneous cancellation of the same pursuant to the prohibition provided under art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code –, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of 2,054,426,517 EGP shares held by it.
Taking into account the foregoing, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the share capital of the Beneficiary Company will be increased by up to a maximum of 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, all of which are destined for the shareholders of the Demerged Company other than Enel.
The number of Enel shares to be assigned may change depending upon the number of EGP shares acquired by Enel following the conclusion of the pre-emption offer of the EGP shares that may be subject to the Right of Sale and Right of Withdrawal.
Since, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, all of the above-mentioned 3,640,000,000 EGP shares representing the portion of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged forming the subject matter of the exchange will be cancelled in their entirety, on such date, the Demerged Company's share capital will be reduced from its current total amount of Euro 1,000,000,000 (one billion/00) to a total of Euro 272,000,000 (two hundred seventy two million/00), comprised of 1,360,000,000 (one billion three hundred sixty million/00) ordinary shares having a value per share of Euro 0.20 (zero/20) each.
As a result of the exchange by EGP shareholders other than Enel of all shares held by them in EGP, and the consequent cancellation of the same, Enel – as a result of the Demerger – will be the sole shareholder of the Demerged Company.
It should also be noted that on November 30, 2015, the Court of Rome appointed PKF Italia S.p.A. as the common expert engaged to issue the report on the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, in accordance with art. 2501-sexies of the Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code.
Lastly, it should be noted that the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger proceeded to appoint KPMG S.p.A., as common independent expert and endowed with adequate and proven professional expertise engaged to issue the appraisal report on the value of the assets comprising the Set of Assets Demerged, in accordance with art. 2343-ter, paragraph 2, letter b) of the Civil Code.
2.2.5. Valuation methodologies used to determine the Exchange Ratio and the value of the Set of Assets Demerged
Enel's Board of Directors
Enel's Board of Directors retained Credit Suisse Securities Europe Limited and J.P. Morgan Limited (the "Enel Advisors") as its financial advisors with regard to the economic, financial and valuation aspects of the Demerger, in line with the international best practices. Please note that the engagements of the Enel Advisors are regulated uniformly, in line with the international practice, also with regard to the indemnity clauses, which in any case do not cover the liability for fraud or gross negligence.
On November 17, 2015, the Enel Advisors delivered to Enel's Board of Directors specific opinions (so called fairness opinion) on the fairness, from a financial standpoint, of the Exchange Ratio determined by the Board itself. The fairness opinions delivered by the Advisors (the "Opinions") were independently prepared by them on the basis of several valuation methodologies, in line with market practice, assumptions and parameters, and reach similar conclusions. The Opinions are attached as schedules to this Information Document as Schedule 6.
The reference date of the valuations performed for the purpose of determining the Exchange Ratio is the same as that of the Explanatory Reports on the Demerger, assuming that, for each of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, no events, facts or acts have occurred of such a nature as to materially change the assets, liabilities, economic or financial condition of the companies analyzed, or the Set of Assets Demerged, in the period between the latest available stand alone and consolidated financial statements and the date of the above-mentioned Explanatory Reports on the Demerger.
With regard to the determination of the Exchange Ratio specified in Paragraph 2.2.4 and the relative valuation of the equity value of the Set of Assets Demerged with respect to Enel Green Power, in consideration of the purpose of the valuations, the specific characteristics of the entities being appraised and in line with the best valuation practice at the national and international levels for similar transactions, several valuation methodologies were used, including both analytical and market-based.
In particular, with reference to the determination of the Exchange Ratio, the following methodologies have been selected individually:
(a) Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology;
- (b) the DCF Methodology through a "Sum of the Parts" approach;
- (c) analysis of the implied Exchange Ratio derived from Enel and EGP target prices published by brokers and by the major investment banks.
Consideration has been given to the fact that Enel and Enel Green Power will not distribute any dividends for fiscal year 2015 before the Demerger effective date and it was deemed appropriate to solely express ranges for the Exchange Ratio, derived from the homogeneous application of each valuation methodology adopted, and not the absolute values resulting from them, since only the former are considered representative: fundamental condition for the definition of the exchange ratio is the quantification of the relative value of the individual companies taking part in the transaction, with the final goal not to calculate an economic value in absolute terms for each of them, but rather homogeneous and comparable values in relative terms.
Lastly, in consideration of the procedures and timetable envisaged for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale, and since it is not possible to quantify their future impact, the effects of such rights that might potentially be exercised by Enel Green Power's shareholders who do not vote in favor of the relevant resolutions have not been taken into account.
The valuations of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger have been carried out on a stand-alone basis or, in other words, on the basis of the business plans separately prepared by Enel Green Power and Enel, irrespective of the outcome of the Transaction.
For the purposes of the valuation of the equity value of the Set of Assets Demerged and the comparison of the same with the overall valuation of Enel Green Power's equity value, we proceeded, in line with the valuation approach used to determine the Exchange Ratio and taking into consideration the specific characteristics of Enel Green Power and the Set of Assets Demerged – and in particular the fact that the Set of Assets Demerged is not a listed company and, therefore, it was not possible to apply either the Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology or the methodology of the target prices published by brokers and the major investment banks – to use the DCF Methodology. Such valuations have been made with the support of the Enel Advisor and are in line with the outcome of the analysis made by the same.
For a more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used by Enel for the purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio and the value of the Set of Assets Demerged, the results deriving from the application of the above-mentioned methodologies and the valuation difficulties encountered, reference is made to the Explanatory Report prepared by Enel's Board of Directors in accordance with art. 2506-ter of the Civil Code, attached to this Information Document as Schedule 1.
Board of Directors of Enel Green Power
For the purpose of the valuation analysis performed by the board of directors to determine the Exchange Ratio, Enel Green Power's Board of Directors retained as independent financial advisors Barclays and Mediobanca (the "EGP Advisors"). Please note that the engagements of the EGP Advisors are regulated uniformly in line with the international practice, also with regard to the indemnity clauses, which in any case do not cover the liability for fraud or gross negligence.
The EGP Advisors, issued to Enel Green Power's Board of Directors specific fairness opinions on the fairness, from a financial standpoint, of the Exchange Ratio determined by the Board; such fairness opinions were prepared using several methodologies, in line with market practice. In particular, Enel Green Power's Board of Directors acknowledged and adopted the valuation methodologies used by the EGP Advisors for the purposes of determining ranges of Exchange Ratio. The fairness opinions issued by the EGP Advisors are attached to this Information Document as Schedule 7. The fairness of the Exchange Ratio from a financial standpoint was also confirmed by the fairness opinions issued by the independent financial advisors appointed by EGP's Related Parties Committee, Lazard and Prof. Laghi, which opinions are attached to the disclosure document referred to in art. 5 of EGP's RPT Procedure, available at EGP's registered office, on its website www.enelgreenpower.com, and on the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com).
The reference date of the valuations performed for purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio is the same as that of the Explanatory Reports on the Demerger, assuming that, for each of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger, no events, facts or acts have occurred of such a nature as to materially change the assets, liabilities, economic or financial condition of the company analyzed, or the Set of Assets Demerged, over the period between the latest available stand alone and consolidated financial statements and the date of the above-mentioned Explanatory Reports on the Demerger.
As regards the determination of the Exchange Ratio referred to in Paragraph 2.2.4 above, the valuation methodologies used are based upon the best valuation practice in Italy and at the international level in the context of similar transactions, considering the specific business and operating characteristics of Enel Green Power and Enel. In this case, the following valuation methodologies were identified as the main ones to be used:
- a) the discounted cash flows method, by applying the "Sum of the Parts" criterion, and
- b) the Stock Exchange share price method, considering, with exclusive reference to Enel Green Power, also premia observed in other transactions occurred in the renewable energy sector.
The analysis of the Exchange Ratio resulting from the observation of the target prices of the Enel Green Power share and the Enel share published by financial analysts was used as a control methodology.
The fundamental goal of the valuations performed is to identify relative and comparable economic values for the purpose of the determination of the Exchange Ratio. Therefore, priority was given to consistency and comparability of each of the methodologies applied as opposed to the determination of the absolute value of the companies considered individually. However, this approach does not necessary require the use of identical valuation methodologies for Enel Green Power and Enel, or the attribution, for a given valuation methodology, of the same importance for the purpose of the valuation of both companies, but rather the use of criteria and methodologies that reflect the same valuation approach and that are the most appropriate, taking into account the differences that distinguish them, in order to reach comparable values for the determination of the Exchange Ratios. Indeed, the selected methodologies must not be analyzed individually, but rather considered as the part of a single overarching valuation process.
The valuations were performed with the goal of expressing a comparative estimate of the value of Enel Green Power and Enel; they must therefore be considered only in relative terms and solely with reference to the Demerger, and do not refer in any manner whatsoever to absolute values of either of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger nor can be considered representative of any current, future or expected market price. Moreover, the valuations of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger were carried out on a standalone basis that is, on the basis of the business plans separately prepared by Enel Green Power end Enel, regardless of the outcome of the Transaction.
In consideration of the procedures and timetable envisaged for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale, and since it is not possible to quantify their future impact, as well as the effects of such rights that might potentially be exercised by Enel Green Power's shareholders who do not vote in favor of the relevant resolution have not been taken into account.
As regards the determination of the economic value of the Set of Assets Demerged, given the non-listed nature such the business unit and the need to express (in percentage terms) its relative value compared to the value of Enel Green Power pre-Demerger, for the purpose of ensuring consistency among the criteria, only the discounted future cash flows methodology was used, applying a "Sum of the Parts" approach. Such methodology, for the purpose of determining the percentage ratio between the value of the Set of Assets Demerged and Enel Green Power (pre-Demerger), was also used for Enel Green Power (pre-Demerger). Such valuations have been made with the support of the EGP Advisors and are in line with the outcome of the analysis made by the same.
For a more in-depth description of the valuation methodologies used by Enel Green Power for the purpose of determining the Exchange Ratio and the economic value of the Set of Assets Demerged, the results deriving from the application of the above-mentioned methodologies and the valuation difficulties encountered, reference is made to the Explanatory Report issued by Enel Green Power's Board of Directors in accordance with art. 2506-ter of the Civil Code, attached to this Information Document as Schedule 2, as well as the disclosure document referred to in art. 5 of EGP's RPT Procedure, which is available at EGP's registered office, on its website www.enelgreenpower.com, and on the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com).
2.2.6. Report by the expert on the Exchange Ratio and estimate report on the value of the Set of Assets Demerged
On December 10, 2015, PKF Italia S.p.A. in its capacity as common expert appointed by the Court of Rome through a ruling dated November 30, 2015, issued the report on the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, in accordance with art. 2501-sexies of the Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code
Moreover, on December 10, 2015, KPMG S.p.A., in its capacity as independent common expert of adequate and proven professional expertise, appointed by the Companies Taking Part in the Demerged, issued the estimate report on the value of the assets comprising the Set of Assets Demerged, in accordance with art. 2343-ter, paragraph 2, lett. b) of the Civil Code
The above-mentioned reports, which are in line with the assessment made by the administrative bodies of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger are attached to this Information Document as, respectively, Schedule 4 and Schedule 5.
2.3. REASONS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE TRANSACTION
2.3.1. Reasons underlying the Demerger
A number of phenomena are causing significant changes to the energy paradigm at a global level: an increasing demand for energy driven by economic growth and the process of urban development in emerging countries, a high level of volatility in the price of commodities, growing competitiveness in renewable sources, the development of new technologies, energy efficiency, greater attention and awareness focusing on environmental issues.
In this new "world", the renewable energy sector has achieved a more predominant role, as a result of both growing competitiveness of less mature technologies – wind and solar – brought by rapid technological advances, as well as their contributions to the energy model in terms of environmental sustainability.
Large utilities operators have taken action to exploit the opportunities offered by the renewables business, by establishing companies entirely dedicated to the development and management of renewable energy plants. In this context, in 2008, Enel created EGP, a corporate vehicle in which it concentrated its business related to the production of electricity using renewable sources, and later proceeded to have EGP listed on the stock exchange in 2010.
Over the last several years, a number of signs of changes have arisen in the above mentioned energy model, even recorded in some comparable transactions in Europe, initially triggered by the rapid large-scale development of renewable sources, resulting in issues related to the need to adapt networks. This was coupled with the emergence of new phenomena such as, among others, distributed power generation, energy efficiency, electric cars and energy storage, which are increasingly determining a radical transformation in behavior of consumers, who are becoming increasingly active as "producers" and "operators/managers" of their own electricity demand. In addition, the need has arisen to develop new technologies which allow the electricity system to evolve toward a model that better integrates traditional generation sources and, therefore, plannable sources, with renewable sources, which latter sector continues to show a high growth rate at the worldwide level.
Such growth is seen principally in two main areas. Firstly, on emerging markets (characterized by economic growth and significant urban development), renewable sources constitute the fastest answer to the rise in electricity demand. Secondly, even on mature markets, there exist development opportunities for renewable sources, supported by a process toward the gradual dismantling of traditional power generation capacity (such as, for example, coal-fired plants) and its replacement with new renewable capacity, using, in particular, wind and solar sources, characterized by faster commissioning timetables, contained execution risks and competitive costs.
The increasingly rising need to achieve integration among renewable sources and traditional sources, as well as the distribution networks and the market (the "single integrated system"), is swiftly leading to the modernization of the electricity grid, through digitalization and the "smart meter", effectively transforming energy utilities companies like Enel from simple producers and distributors of energy to services suppliers and systems optimizers. This phenomenon is creating new business opportunities those utilities operators will be ready to exploit only if they are positioned as global operators that are integrated in the electricity system.
Within this context, the Enel Group is well-positioned in the main strategic areas of the new model, as one of the few global operators in the sector, as well as one of the more diversified operators from a technological standpoint, with a customer base exceeding 60 million. Moreover, the Group is optimally positioned to take advantage of numerous growth opportunities at the worldwide level, by exploiting its high level of geographical diversification. Indeed, it is present in all geographical areas featuring significant growth prospects, most recently the Asian continent, where the Group has recently established a base, entering the Indian renewable energy market.
In recent years, EGP has achieved significant results, from both an operating and economic-financial standpoint, achieving its growth and internationalization objectives. Indeed, since its listing until today, it has achieved growth of 82.7% in its renewable installed capacity, from 5.8 GW to its current 10.6 GW, and 38% growth in EBITDA, from Euro 1.3 billion in 2010 (8% of the Group's EBITDA) to Euro 1.8 billion expected to be achieved in 2015 (12% of the Group's EBITDA), coupled by an international presence (expressed as a percentage out of installed capacity) which rose from 54% in 2010 to the current approximately 70%.
In consideration of the significant market opportunities and in line with the growing focus on renewable energies, over the next timeline of the plan, a rise in investments in the development of renewable energies is expected, which are supposed to account for about 50% of the Enel Group's investments in growth.
The process aimed at complete integration of the renewable energy business is therefore consistent with the Enel Group's development strategy and supported by significant justifications, which are not only strategic in nature (as described above) but also industrial and financial, offering opportunities for the creation of value.
2.3.2. Prospects and plans of the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger
The industrial reasons of the integration of EGP into the Enel Group focus on two main objectives: growth and integration, in the strict sense.
The first strategic macro-area would allow for greater creation of value for the Group through the potential further acceleration of investments, and the implementation of the Active Portfolio Management strategy. In a context in which EGP's proven capacity to develop and realize projects exceeds its investment capacity from a "stand-alone" perspective (in order to preserve the company's solidity) and considering Enel Group's financial capacity, the complete integration between Enel and EGP would enable the latter to realize additional growth initiatives in the renewable business which are not sustainable in its current structure. The acceleration of investments would consist of a greater potential allocation of capital to EGP in the range of Euro 1.3 billion over the period from 2018 and 2019, which would be invested in development projects in emerging countries.
The second macro-area aimed at the creation of value is that of the integration in the strict sense, which consists of the realization of operational and management synergies attainable through: the capacity to synergically exploit their respective business expertise/know-how, yielding cost efficiencies; the possibility of jointly managing various production chains, resulting in risk reduction; the opportunity to benefit from the Group's financial solidity.
Another way to potentially achieve streamlining /optimization would be through (i) the reduction of risks related to the volatility of the prices in the energy market in countries/markets in which Enel and EGP operate through the centralized management of hedging; (ii) the optimization of the maintenance plan at an integrated level of the renewable and traditional generating plants and (iii) a greater commercial competitiveness ensured by the synergetic management of renewable and traditional assets.
Lastly, the integration between Enel and EGP would be in line with Enel's goal of gradually reducing and rationalizing of the minority shareholdings in its affiliates, also for purposes of achieving greater symmetry between the financial commitments aimed at the development of EGP and the profitability and cash generation of the Group.
From Enel Green Power's perspective, the Demerger will give rise to greater efficiency (with respect to both the administrative area and business operations), as well as greater organizational and operational flexibility, also as a result of the loss of its listed company status. In particular, once the Demerged becomes effective, Enel Green Power will start a process of simplifying its governance with the objective of achieving a greater focus on the domestic business of renewable energies which is less complex – and, therefore, faster and more dynamic – with regard to the decision-making process and exercise of strategic, management and technicaloperating controls. Likewise, the rationalization of the functions and processes will ensure, in any case, that Enel Green Power's will be in a position to maintain its high level of specialization (both in the production area and on the market) smoothly and without operating discontinuities.
While a number of modest operating benefits are attainable immediately upon the completion of the Demerger, the Companies Taking Part in the Demerger expect to implement the above-mentioned plans, particularly the more important ones concerning the acceleration of investments in the development of renewable energies, over the medium term and, in other words, beyond the twelve months following the Date of Effect of the Demerger.

History of the Enel Group
Enel's origin dates back to the creation, in 1962, of thee Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica, an Italian government entity which was granted, on an exclusive basis, the concession for the generation, importation, exportation, transport, transformation, distribution and sale of electricity in Italy. The Entity, which was controlled by the Italian government, pursued and completed a process of development and diversification through the development of new power plants.
[1] Source: market data elaborated by Enel.
In 1992, Legislative Decree No. 333 transformed the government entity into a joint stock company (entirely held by the MEF) maintaining under the latter, called Enel S.p.A., all of the business operations previously conducted by the Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica.
The company later underwent a significant transformation following the enactment of Legislative Decree No. 79 dated March 16, 1999 (known as the Bersani Decree) which, envisaging a gradual liberalization of the electricity market, gave rise to the following:
- the creation of individual subsidiaries for purposes of ensuring accounting and management independence for the specific production, transmission, distribution and sale operations;
- the transfer of the management and control of the national grid for the transmission and dispatch of electricity to the Gestore della Rete di Trasmissione Nazionale, a company wholly owned by the MEF, and consequent sale of 94.88% of the shareholding held by Enel in Terna S.p.A., the company that owns the above-mentioned grid;
- the sale by the production company of energy (approximately 15 GW of the Group's generation capacity) and numerous municipal distribution companies.
In November 1999, the process of privatizing Enel led to its listing on the Italian stock market and on the New York Stock Exchange (with subsequent de-listing in December 2007) of approximately the 32% of its share capital, followed by the registration of Enel shares with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau of Tokyo.
Later, considering the changed characteristics of the Italian energy market resulting from the introduction of the above-mentioned Bersani Decree, Enel embarked upon an important phase of internationalization, with the overarching aim of focusing on its core business, which led to numerous acquisitions and joint ventures.
In the context of such process, Enel acquired, over the period from 2007 to 2009, control over Endesa, the leading Spanish energy operator, with significant business operations in Latin America as well.
Such acquisition, together with other smaller transactions involving numerous European production companies (using a range of different energy sources), distribution companies and sales companies, enabled Enel to considerably bolster its position on the main energy markets in the world.
In parallel with its journey toward internationalization, the Enel Group has maintained its leadership position in Italy, albeit honoring the limits imposed by the above-mentioned Bersani Decree, in all areas of the energy sector and, in 2010, it was authorized for the listing on the Italian stock market and on the Spanish stock market of approximately 31% of the shares of Enel Green Power, the Group company holding all assets and business operations pertaining to the renewable energies sector.
From 2010 until today, the Group has continued to strengthen its position on the worldwide energy markets, through investments in markets and businesses featuring high growth potential (in particular in the renewable energies sector) and the sale of non-strategic assets. Lastly, recently, the Group started a reorganization of its business operations in Latin America, including through the acquisition of minority stakes held by third parties in Enel Group companies. In particular, over the course of 2015, a corporate reorganization plan was commenced aimed at separating the electricity generation and distribution operations conducted in Chile from those conducted in other Latin American countries. Such reorganization which is expected to be concluded by the end of the first half of 2016, includes in a first stage, the demerger of Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra's Chilean activities from those of the other countries in Latin America, followed, in a second stage, by the merger of the non-Chilean companies resulting from the mentioned demergers into Enersis Americas. As of the Date of the Information Document, the proposed reorganization has received the approval of the boards of directors of Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra, and, with regard to the first stage of the corporate reorganization, the approval of the relevant extraordinary shareholders meeting, which resolved upon the demergers on December 18, 2015
Business overview
The organizational structure of the Enel Group
Starting in July 2014, the Enel Group has implemented a new organizational structure, based upon a Divisions/Geographic Areas model, with a clear identification of roles and responsibilities with a view to:
- pursuing and maintaining its technological leadership in the sectors in which the Enel Group operates, ensuring excellences in its business operations;
- maximizing the level of service provided to customers in local markets.
Thanks to this new structure, the Enel Group may benefit from a lower level of complexity in the performance of managerial actions and in the analysis of key factors in the generation of value.

In particular, the Enel Group's new organizational structure is based upon a model that takes into account:
- Global Divisions (Global Generation, Infrastructures and Global Grids, Renewable Energies, Global Trading, Upstream Gas), which has the task of managing and developing the assets, optimizing their performance and the return on invested capital, in the various geographical areas where the Enel Group operates; the Divisions also have the task of improving the efficiency of the managed processes and agreeing upon the best practices at the worldwide level. Such organization also allows the Group to benefit from a centralized industrial vision on the projects of its various businesses. Every single project is assessed not only on the basis of the financial return, but also taking into account the best technologies available at the Enel Group level;
- Regions and Countries (Italy, Spain, Latin America, Eastern Europe), which has the task of managing within each country where the Enel Group operates relationships with local institutional bodies and regulatory authorities, as well as the sale of electricity and gas, also providing support in terms of staff activities and other services to the Divisions;
The following functions are also included in such model, providing support to the business:
- Global Service Functions (Purchases and ICT), which has the task of managing the information and communication technology activities and purchases at the Enel Group level;
- Holding Functions (Administration, Finance and Control, Human Resources and Organization, Communications, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Relationships with the European Union, Innovation and Sustainability), which has the task of managing the governance processes at the Enel Group level.
The Enel Group's Strategy
In order to compete effectively in the current and future macro-economic context and, in the meantime, to exploit new business opportunities in the energy sector, the Enel Group has adopted the Strategic Plan 2016- 2019, which was presented to the financial community on November 18, 2015.
The new four-year plan was drafted so as to provide continuity with the plan 2015-2019, which was presented in March 2015, and continues to focus on increasing profitability for shareholders, by taking advantage of the Group's global presence, its leadership in all technologies and the diversification of business lines and geographic areas. In particular, the business strategy followed by the Enel Group is based upon five fundamental pillars:
- i) the achievement of high levels of operating efficiency, through the optimal management of investments for the maintenance of assets and costs; and
- ii) the strengthening of the Enel Group's drive towards "industrial" growth already announced in March, thanks to a marked increase in investments in development;
- iii) the simplification of the Enel Group's corporate structure;
- iv) the proactive management of the portfolio with a view to creating value; and
- v) the continuation of the Group's attractive dividends policy, with certainty over the short term and high visibility over the medium/long-term.

Key economic, financial and operating data of Enel by business area
The results attained by Enel over the first nine months of 2015 are stated by business area on the basis of an approach used by management to monitor the Group's performance, taking into account the operating model implemented and described above.
In particular, in accordance with international accounting standard IFRS 8 in terms of "management approach", the launch of the new organizational structure has changed the reporting structure and the representation and analysis of the Enel Group's economic and financial data starting from the beginning of 2015. Specifically, the results by business sector set forth below are organized by identifying as the "primary reporting segment" the Region and Country data, with the exception of the Renewable Energies Division, which benefits from its centralized management under the subholding Enel Green Power and, therefore, in terms of responsibility, enjoys greater autonomy than the other Divisions.
The following figure illustrates the structure as described above.

Taking into account that the operating model described above has changed the reporting structure, the analysis of the Enel Group's economic and financial results and, similarly, the representation of consolidated results only starting from the beginning of 2015, the data presented by the Enel Group for year 2014 are represented on the basis of the previous organizational structure.
In particular, the previous operating model, which was adopted at the start of 2012, envisaged a Group organization structured as follows:
- Holding Functions, in charge of guiding and controlling the strategic operations for the entire Enel Group;
- Global Service Functions, in charge of providing services to the Enel Group, maximizing synergies and economies of scale;
- Global Divisions, consisting of six Divisions (Generation, Energy Management and Italian Market; Infrastructures and Grids; Spain and Latin America; International; Renewable Energies; Engineering and Research) which were supported by the Upstream Gas Functions (which pursued a selective vertical integration aiming to boost competitiveness, safety and flexibility in strategic sourcing to cover Enel's gas requirements) and Carbon Strategy (operating on the worldwide markets for CO2 certificates).
On the basis of the criteria determined under IFRS 8, the results of the Generation, Energy Management and Italian Market Division were represented separately, distinguishing between what was attributable to the generation and energy management business operations and what was attributable to the distribution of electricity on the Italian market, in line with the procedures in place for internal reporting to top management.
In summary, in the transition from the previous organizational model to the current organizational model, without considering any transfers of smaller companies, the main changes concerned:
- the Market, Generation and Energy Management and Infrastructures and Grids Divisions, which operate virtually entirely in Italy, which are now included within the Country Italy;
- the Iberia and Latin America Division, also following the reorganization carried out in 2014, which is now broken down into Spain and Latin America;
- the service operations and support for residents in Italy which are now classified within the Country

Italy, rather than in the residual segment.
Lastly, it should be noted that based upon the criteria determined under IFRS 8, the possibility of the simplification of reporting deriving from the meaningfulness limits set forth under the same international accounting standard has been taken into account and, therefore, the item "Other, elisions and adjustments", includes not only the effects deriving from the elision of intersectoral economic relationships, but also the data on the Holding Enel SpA and the Upstream Gas Division, for 2015, and the data related to the Holding Enel SpA, the Services Area and other business operations, the Engineering and Research Division and the Upstream Gas Function, for 2014.

5. ENEL'S CONSOLIDATED PRO-FORMA INCOME STATEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET DATA
5.1. CONSOLIDATED PRO-FORMA BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME STATEMENT
5.1.1. Introduction
This Chapter sets forth tables providing the consolidated pro-forma data of the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement and related explanatory notes of the Enel Group for the half year ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 ( Enel's Consolidated Pro-forma Tables).
Enel's Consolidated Pro-forma Tables have been prepared for purposes of their inclusion in this Information Document drafted in accordance with art. 70 and schedule 3B of the Issuers Regulation, in order to represent the main effects related to the Demerger.
The tables setting forth the pro-forma data have been prepared in order to represent to investors, in accordance with applicable standards, the effects of the Demerger, as if the same had taken place in the period to which the pro-forma data presented refer; in this case, with regard to the consolidated balance sheet effects, the end date of the reference period and, with regard to the consolidated income statement and cash flow statement effects, the start date of the reference period.
Therefore:
- in the table related to the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, the columns related to the pro-forma adjustments reflect the effects of the Demerger as if it had occurred on June 30, 2015;
- in the tables related to the consolidated pro-forma income statement and cash flow statement for the half year ended June 30, 2015, the columns related to the pro-forma adjustments reflect the effects of the Demerger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2015 and, therefore, with effect for the entire first half of 2015;
- in the table related to the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, the columns related to the pro-forma adjustments reflect the effects of the Demerger as if it had occurred on December 31, 2014;
- in the tables related to the consolidated pro-forma income statement and cash flow statement for the year ended December 31, 2014, the columns related to the pro-forma adjustments reflect the effects of the Demerger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2014 and, therefore, with effect for all of year 2014.
In consideration of the different method of determining the effects deriving from the Demerger for purposes of the preparation of the pro-forma balance sheet and the pro-forma income statement and the consolidated pro-forma cash flow statement, there do not exist any accounting connections between them and, therefore, the documents must be read separately.
The information set forth in Enel's Consolidated Pro-Forma Tables represent a simulation provided solely for explanatory purposes, with the objective of reflecting retroactively the effects of transactions that occurred on subsequent dates. Despite compliance with commonly accepted rules and the use of reasonable assumptions, there are limits related to the very nature of pro-forma data and there exists a risk that, if the Demerger had actually occurred on the dates used as reference dates for the preparation of the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables, the same results represented in the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables would not necessarily have been attained.
The information set forth in the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables and in the related explanatory notes is not meant, in any way whatsoever, to provide a forecast of the Enel Group's future results and, therefore must not be used for such purpose.
5.1.2. Basis for presentation and accounting standards used
In accordance with the pro-forma data preparation method set forth in CONSOB Notice no. DEM/1052803 dated July 5, 2001, the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables were drafted by adjusting the historical data extracted from the Interim consolidated financial statement of the Enel Group for the half-year period ended June 30, 2015 and from the annual consolidated financial statement of the Enel Group for the year ended December 31, 2014, applying to the same the pro-forma adjustments deriving from the Demerger.
The accounting standards followed for the preparation of the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables as of June 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014 are the same ones used for the preparation of, respectively, the Interim consolidated financial statement as of June 30, 2015 and the annual consolidated financial statement as of December 31, 2014 of the Enel Group, which were prepared in accordance with "International Financial Reporting Standards" adopted by the European Union (hereinafter, "IFRS-EU"). It should be noted that such accounting standards IFRS-EU are the same ones used by Enel Green Power for the purpose of drafting its financial statement, without differences in terms of choices and accounting standards between the two Groups s.
From an accounting point of view, the Demerger is qualified as a "business combination under common control" transaction and, therefore, it falls outside the scope of application of IFRS 3 and IFRIC 17.
The Consolidated Pro-forma Tables have been prepared using the same figures used in the corresponding consolidated financial statement as of the reference date. In addition, it should be noted that the consolidation perimeters of the Enel Group as of June 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014 do not change as a result of the Demerger, given that the Set of Assets Demerged is comprised of assets and liabilities that are already fully consolidated within the group parent company Enel on such dates.
In the consolidated pro-forma table as of June 30, 2015, the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet, the consolidated pro-forma income statement and the consolidated pro-forma cash flow statement are prepared on the basis of the following columns:
- column "A" includes the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement for the half year ended on such date of the Enel Group, extracted without making any adjustment and/or restatement from the Interim consolidated financial statement approved by Enel's Board of Directors at the meeting held on July 29, 2015, and subject to a limited review by the auditing firm Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A., which issued on August 3, 2015 its report concluding that nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that the financial statements mentioned above were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union, with no emphasis of matter paragraphs.
- Column "B" includes the adjustments made to the Shareholders' Equity and the Net income of the Enel Group following the Demerger.
- Column "C", of the consolidated pro-forma Income Statement table and the consolidated pro-forma Cash Flow Statement table, includes respectively the effects deriving from the reduction of costs, determined on the basis of current methods of managing the individual assets/business operations in the Enel Group, following the de-listing of Enel Green Power and its complete integration within the Enel Group and the corresponding financial impact deriving from such cost reduction.
- The column "total" includes the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, the consolidated pro-forma income statement and the pro-forma cash flow statement for the first half of 2015.
In the consolidated pro-forma table as of December 31, 2014, the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet, the consolidated pro-forma income statement and the consolidated pro-forma cash flow statement are prepared on the basis of the following columns:
- column "A" includes the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement for the half year ended on such date of the Enel Group, extracted without making any adjustment and/or restatement from the short-form half year consolidated financial statement approved by Enel's Board of Directors at the meeting held on March 18, 2015, and subjected to a limited review by the auditing firm Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A., which issued on April 8, 2015 its report with a unmodified opinion with no emphasis of matter paragraphs.
-
Column "B" includes the adjustments made to the Shareholders' Equity and the Net income of the Enel Group following the Demerger.
-
Column "C", of the consolidated pro-forma Income Statement table and the consolidated pro-forma Cash Flow Statement table, includes respectively the effects deriving from the reduction of costs, determined on the basis of current methods of managing the individual assets/business operations in the Enel Group, following the de-listing of Enel Green Power and its complete integration within the Enel Group and the corresponding financial impact deriving from such cost reduction.
- The column "Total" includes the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 and the consolidated pro-forma income statement and the consolidated pro-forma cash flow statement for year 2014.
Lastly, it should be noted that the tax effect on the pro-forma adjustments presented in the above-mentioned Consolidated Pro-forma Tables, if any, was determined using the theoretical tax rate in force on the reference date and is included in the same column in which the pro-forma adjustments to which such tax effect relates are detailed.

5.1.4. Explanatory notes on the pro-forma adjustments as of June 30, 2015
Adjustments to Shareholders' equity and Net income (Column B)
The Demerger will take place with the grant of newly issued Enel shares to all of Enel Green Power's shareholders in an amount that is not proportional to the shareholdings currently held by EGP's shareholders in the Demerged Company. In particular, Enel Green Power's minority shareholders will receive newly issued Enel shares at the exchange ratio indicated below: similar Enel, as EGP shareholder will receive, on the basis of the same exchange ratio, newly issued treasury shares, which will be cancelled simultaneously upon issuance.
On the other side, all of the EGP shares that are exchanged with Enel shares will be cancelled.
The shareholders of Enel Green Power who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger will have the following rights:
- the right to sell to Enel his own Enel shares Green Power in exchange for a cash price (Liquidation Value) determined by applying the criterion provided under art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code; or, alternatively
- the right of withdrawal , receiving the same price.
In both cases, the Liquidation Value of the Enel shares Green Power will be equal to Euro 1.780.
It should be noted that the Transaction provides for a condition precedent, represented by the circumstance that the total liquidation value of the Enel Green Power shares in relation to which the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal is duly exercised by the shareholders of Enel Green Power entitled to do so does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million/00). Such condition precedent will be deemed likewise satisfied – even if the above limit is exceeded – if Enel, within 60 calendar days from the last registration with the Companies Register of Rome of the shareholders' meeting resolution approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Civil Code, declares its intention to proceed to purchase all of the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale (as defined below) have been exercised
As a result of such Transaction, therefore:
- Enel will hold the entire remaining capital of Enel Green Power;
- the minority shareholders of Enel Green Power prior to the Demerger will become holders of newly issued Enel shares, with dilution for the pre-existing Enel shareholders.
In the absence of certainty as to the number of shareholders of Enel Green Power who will exercise the right to sell their shares or the Right of Withdrawal, the pro-forma data elaborated are based upon the assumption that all of the minority shareholders of Enel Green Power take part in the approval of the Demerger, and thus will obtain Enel shares in exchange for their Enel Green Power shares.
However, we proceeded to formulate and to illustrate here below, with reference to each Table reported, a sensitivity analysis of the phenomenon, indicating the effects of a possible exercise of the above-mentioned rights in relation to 1% of the shares of Enel Green Power held by the minority shareholders, which, in general terms, may imply a cost for Enel amounting to approximately Euro 28 million.
Share capital
Enel's share capital will rise as a result of the issuance of new shares, with regular entitlement and nominal value of Euro 1.00 each, which will be assigned to the shareholders of the Demerged Company in an amount that is not proportional to their shareholding in Enel Green Power's share capital.
In particular, by applying the established exchange ratio of 0.486 new Enel shares for each EGP share:
- a) EGP's shareholders other than Enel will be assigned by applying the Exchange Ratio a total maximum number of up to 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, upon the cancellation, upon exchange, of a total of 1,585,573,483 EGP shares held by such shareholders, while
- b) Enel will be assigned a total of 998,451,288 Enel shares, upon the cancellation, upon exchange of 2,054,426,517 EGP shares held by it, – which Enel shares will be simultaneous cancelled in compliance with the prohibition provided under art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Civil Code –.
The pro-forma adjustments that affect the share capital reflect what is described above. In particular, considering the cancellation of the share assigned to Enel, the share capital has been adjusted in order to represent the increase due exclusively to the newly issued shares assigned to Enel Green Power's minority shareholders the nominal value of which amounts to a total of Euro 771 million.
If 1% of the Enel Green Power's shares held by minority shareholders is subject to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal or of the Right of Sale as described above, Enel's share capital would increase, with respect to the corresponding historical value, by the amount of Euro 763 million. In consideration of the Condition Precedent, the maximum percentage of shares held by minority shareholders of Enel Green Power in relation to which the Right of Withdrawal or of the Right of Sale may be duly exercised without such Condition Precedent to occur, is equal to approximately 10.63%.
Other reserves
The pro-forma adjustments related to the item "other reserves" are attributable to:
- an increase in the share premium reserve by an amount equal to Euro 2,362 million, equal to the excess over the theoretical issue price of the shares (determined as the stock exchange value of Enel's share as of June 30, 2015), equal to Euro 4.064 per share, with respect to their nominal value;
-
a decrease of the reserve for acquisitions of "non-controlling interests" by Euro 886 million, representing the difference between the total value of the issue price of the newly issued shares, the ancillary costs as described below and the book value as of June 30, 2015 of the shareholders' equity pertaining to Enel Green Power's minority shareholders;
-
the costs related to the Transaction qualifying as ancillary costs directly attributable to the Demerger in an amount, net of the related tax effect, of Euro 14 million. In particular, they include the estimate of costs incurred for services rendered by the legal and financial advisors, of costs incurred to enable Enel Green Power's shareholders to carry out the exchange transactions, and the costs incurred in order to enable EGP's shareholders who hold shares through the Spanish deposit system (Iberclear), to sell the Enel shares received in exchange on the Italian Stock Exchange without additional costs related to the sale on a foreign market, within one month of the exchange.
If 1% of the Enel Green Power's shares held by minority shareholders is subject to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal or of the Right of Sale as described above, the share premium reserve would increase, with respect to the corresponding historical value, by the amount of Euro 2,338 million and, consequently, the negative reserve from acquisitions of "non controlling interests" would increase, with respect to the corresponding historical value, by Euro 854 million.
Non-controlling interests and Net income for the first half of 2015
As a result of the cancellation of the EGP shares held by the minority shareholders, Enel will be the only shareholder of Enel Green Power, increasing its stake from 68.29% to 100%.
Consequently, the quota attributable to non-controlling interests included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was adjusted in order to reattribute to the Enel Group the quota of the net shareholders' equity pertaining to the minority shareholders of Enel Green Power (ante-demerger), in the amount of Euro 2,233 million, including the income of the first half of 2015.
Similarly, in the table setting forth the consolidated pro-forma income statement, the net income for the first half of 2015 was reattributed to the Group and to Third Parties in order to take into account the increase in Enel's shareholding in EGP. In particular, the portion of net income for the first half of 2015 pertaining to the Group was increased by Euro 113 million, against a decrease in the same amount of the portion attributable to third party stakes.
Effects on the consolidated cash flow statement
The pro-forma adjustments made to the consolidated cash flow statement as of June 30, 2015 reflect the outlays that the Group would have incurred for the ancillary costs described above, equal to Euro 20 million, as well as the reattribution to Enel of the dividends disbursed to the minority shareholders of EGP with a consequent rise in the Group's cash and a cash equivalents for an amount of Euro 51 million. It should be noted that the pro-forma adjustments made to the consolidated cash flow statement do not include the taxes related to such ancillary costs, on the assumption that the related effects on the cash flows would have occurred in the following financial year.
If 1% of the Enel Green Power's shares held by minority shareholders is subject to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal or of the Right of Sale as described above, the item "Cash and cash and equivalents" would increase by an additional Euro 5 million with respect to the relevant historical data, equal to the balance of the above pro-forma adjustments (Euro 33 million) and the outlays incurred in connection with the above shares (approximately Euro 28 million).
Adjustments to the consolidated income statement of the first half of 2015 (column C)
The pro-forma adjustments to the consolidated income statement of the Enel Group for the half year closed as of June 30, 2015 aim to represent the reduction in costs that would have been registered in such period if the Demerger had occurred on January 1, 2015. Such adjustments objectively reflect the isolable and measurable effects of the Demerger and, therefore, do not reflect the economic effects of synergies expected to derive from the complete integration of EGP within the Enel Group, in accordance with the method for determining pro-forma data described in Consob Notice no. DEM/1052803 dated July 5, 2001.
Set forth below is a detailed description of the adjustments made to the consolidated income statement of the Enel Group for the first half of 2015.
Costs for services and other materials
The item in question was adjusted by including in such column the costs incurred in the first half of 2015 by Enel Green Power exclusively due to its status as a listed company, in the amount of Euro 1 million. In particular, such decrease concerns mainly fees, professional and technical services and auditors' services (only with respect to the services rendered and which would not have been necessary if the company had not been listed).
Other operating costs
The item in question was adjusted in order to reflect an overall decline in the operating costs by Euro 1 million attributable to the costs incurred in the first half of 2015 by Enel Green Power solely on account of its status as a listed company. In particular, such reduction refers essentially to the compensation paid to corporate bodies (including compensation granted to the corporate bodies governed by and rendered mandatory by the legal framework applicable to listed companies) and contributions due to the Regulatory Authority that oversees the Italian Stock Exchange.
Net income of the first half of 2015
As a result of the reduction of the costs described above and taking into account the related tax effect, the "Net income for the period (Group and Third Parties)" entered in the consolidated income statement of the first half of 2015 was increased by Euro 1 million.
In consideration of the fact that the reduction in costs will affect solely Enel Green Power, and taking into account that in the Pro-forma income statement such company is considered wholly owned by Enel since the start of the year, the above-mentioned increase in net income was entirely attributed to the Enel Group.
Effects on the consolidated cash flow statement
The pro-forma adjustments to the consolidated income statement as of June 30, 2015 described above were also reflected in the consolidated pro-forma cash flow statement as of June 30, 2015, assuming that the same had been settled in cash, giving rise to a positive effect on the available liquidity of the Enel Group in the amount of Euro 2 million. It should be noted that the above pro-forma adjustments do not include the related taxes, on the assumption that the related effects on the cash flows would have occurred in the following financial year.

5.1.6. Explanatory notes on the pro-forma adjustments as of December 31, 2014
Set forth below are the notes on the pro-forma adjustments as of December 31, 2014 and the year ended on such date. See paragraph 3.1 above for a thorough description of the Transaction.
Pro-forma adjustments: assumptions formulated and determination of the pro-forma adjustments included in the Consolidated Pro-forma Tables
Adjustments to the shareholders' equity and to the Net income of the Enel Group (Column B)
Share capital
The pro-forma adjustments concerning the share capital as of December 31, 2014 reflect what is described in paragraph 3.1 above. In particular, considering the cancellation of the shares assigned to Enel, the share capital was adjusted in order to represent the increase due exclusively to the newly issued shares assigned to the minority shareholders of Enel Green Power the nominal value of which amounts to a total of Euro 771 million.
If 1% of the Enel Green Power's shares held by minority shareholders is subject to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal or of the Right of Sale described above, Enel's share capital would rise, with respect to the corresponding historical value, by Euro 763 million.
Other reserves
The pro-forma adjustments related to the item "other reserves" are attributable to:
- an increase in the share premium reserve by Euro 2,079 million equal to the excess over the theoretical issue price of the shares (determined as the stock exchange value of the Enel share as of December 31 2014), equal to 3.696 Euro per share, with respect to their nominal value;
- decrease in the reserve for acquisitions of "non-controlling interests" by Euro 733 million, representing the difference between the total value of the issue price of the newly issued shares, the ancillary costs as described below and the book value as of December 30, 2014 of the shareholders' equity pertaining to Enel Green Power's minority shareholders;
- the costs related to the transaction qualifying as ancillary costs directly attributable to the Demerger in the amount, net of the related tax effect, of Euro 14 million. In particular, they include estimate of the costs incurred for the services rendered by the legal and financial advisors, cost incurred in order to enable Enel Green Power's shareholders to carry out the exchange transactions, as well as the costs incurred in order to enable EGP's shareholders who hold shares through the Spanish deposit system (Iberclear), to sell the Enel shares received in exchange on the Italian Stock Exchange without additional costs deriving from the sale on a foreign market, within one month of the exchange.
If 1% of the Enel Green Power's shares held by minority shareholders is subject to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal or of the Right of Sale as described above, the share premium reserve would rise, with respect to the corresponding historical value, by the amount of Euro 2,057 million and, consequently, the negative reserve for acquisitions of "non controlling interests" would rise, with respect to the corresponding historical value, by Euro 703 million.
Non-controlling interests and Net income for year 2014
As a result of the cancellation of the EGP shares held by the minority shareholders, Enel will be the only shareholder of Enel Green Power, increasing its stake from 68.29% to 100%.
Consequently, the Quota attributable to "Non-controlling interests" included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was adjusted in order to reattribute to Enel Group the portion of the net shareholders' equity pertaining to Enel Green Power's minority shareholders (ante-Demerger), in the amount of Euro 2,103 million, including the income for year 2014.
Similarly, in the table setting for the consolidated pro-forma income statement, the Net income for year 2014 were reattributed to the Enel Group and to third parties in order to take into account the increase in Enel's shareholding in EGP. In particular, the portion of net income for year 2014 pertaining to the Enel Group was increased by Euro 108 million, against a decrease by the same amount in the portion attributable to third party stakes.
Effects on the consolidated cash flow statement
The pro-forma adjustments made to the consolidated cash flow statement as of December 31, 2014 reflect the outlays that the Enel Group would have incurred in connection with the ancillary costs described above, equal to Euro 20 million, as well as the reattribution to Enel of the dividends disbursed by EGP to the minority shareholders with a consequent increase in the Group's Cash and cash equivalents in the amount of Euro 41 million. It should be noted that the above pro-forma adjustments to the consolidated cash flow statement do not include the taxes related to such ancillary costs, on the assumption that the related effects on the cash flows would have occurred in the following financial year.
If 1% of the Enel Green Power's shares held by minority shareholders is subject to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal or of the Right of Sale as described above, the item "Cash and cash and equivalents" would rise, with respect to the corresponding historical value, by Euro 3 million, equal to the balance between the above pro-forma adjustments, equal to Euro 25 million, and the outlays due in connection with such shares (approximately Euro 28 million).
Adjustments to the consolidated income statement for year 2014 (column C)
The pro-forma adjustments to the consolidated income statement of the Enel Group for the year ended December 31, 2014 aim to represent the reduction in costs that would have been registered in such period if the Demerger had taken place on January 1, 2014. Such adjustments objectively reflect the isolable and measurable effects of the Demerger and, therefore, do not reflect the economic effects of synergies expected to derive form the complete integration of EGP within the Enel Group, in accordance with the method of determining pro-forma data described in Consob Notice no. DEM/1052803 dated July 5, 2001.
Set forth below is a detailed description of the adjustments made to the consolidated income statement of the Enel Group for year 2014.
Costs for services and other materials
The item in question was adjusted by including in such column the costs incurred in year 2014 by Enel Green Power exclusively on account of its status as a listed company, in the amount of Euro 2 million. In particular, such decrease concerns mainly fees, consultancies, professional and technical services and auditing services (only with regard to services rendered that would not have been necessary if the company had not been listed).
Costs of personnel
The item in question was adjusted in order to reflect the reduction in compensation paid to the directors and employees of the Enel Group, due to their membership on corporate bodies, in an amount totaling Euro 1 million.
Other operating costs
The item in question was adjusted in order to reflect an overall decrease in operating costs in the amount of Euro 1 million, related to the costs incurred in year 2014 by Enel Green Power exclusively on account of its status as a listed company. In particular, such reduction refers essentially to the compensation paid to corporate bodies (including the compensation granted to corporate bodies governed by and rendered mandatory by the legal framework applicable to listed companies) and contributions due to the Regulatory Authority that oversees the Italian Stock Exchange.
Net income for year 2014
As a result of the reduction of the costs described above and taking into account the related tax effect, the "Net income for the year (Group and Third Parties)" entered in the consolidated income statement for year 2014 rose by Euro 3 million.
In consideration of the fact that the reduction of the costs will concern solely Enel Green Power, and taking into account that in the pro-forma income statement such company is considered wholly owned by Enel since the start of the year, the above-mentioned increase in net income was entirely attributed to the Enel Group.
Effects on the consolidated cash flow statement
The pro-forma adjustments to the consolidated income statement as of December 31, 2014 described above, based on the assumption that they have been settled in cash, were also reported in the consolidated cash flow statement pro-forma as of December 31, 2014, causing a positive effect on the Enel Group's available liquidity in the amount of Euro 4 million. It should be noted that the above pro-forma adjustments do not include the related taxes, on the assumption that the related effects on the cash flows would have occurred in the following financial year.
PRO-FORMA INDICATORS PER SHARE
5.1.7. Historical and pro-forma data per share
Set forth below are the historical and pro-forma consolidated data per share of the Enel Group as of June 30, 2015 (and for the half year closed on such date) and those as of December 31, 2014 (and for the year ended on such date) affected by changes deriving from the completion of the Demerger.
The historical indicators were calculated on the average number of the ordinary shares, respectively, in the first half of 2015 and in year 2014, equal to 9,403,357,795 while the pro-forma indicators were determined assuming that the average number of ordinary shares was equal to 10,173,946,508, corresponding to the number of shares issued after the Demerger.
| Consolidated historical indicators per share as of June 30, 2015 |
Consolidated pro forma indicators per share as of June 30, 2015 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Gross operating margin per share | 0.85 | 0.78 |
| Operating income per share | 0.54 | 0.50 |
| Net income attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 0.19 | 0.19 |
| Diluted net income attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 0.19 | 0.19 |
| Ordinary net income attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 0.17 | 0.16 |
| Equity attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 3.51 | 3.46 |
| Consolidated historical indicators as of December 31, 2014 |
Consolidated pro forma indicators as of December 31, 2014 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Gross operating margin per share | 1.68 | 1.55 |
| Operating income per share | 0.33 | 0.30 |
| Net income attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 0.05 | 0.06 |
| Diluted net income attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 0.05 | 0.06 |
| Ordinary net income attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 0.32 | 0.31 |
| Equity attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company per share | 3.35 | 3.30 |
5.1.8. Brief comment on the significant changes in the pro-forma indicators per share with respect to historical data per share resulting from the Demerger
As highlighted in the table presented in the preceding paragraph, certain of the per share indicators of the Enel Group as of June 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014 would have incurred a change if the Demerger transaction had been concluded in the respective reference periods.
Such changes are attributable to the rise in the number of shares issued by the group parent company Enel and the latter's achievement of a totalitarian shareholding in Enel Green Power that give rise to an increase in the Group's shareholders' equity.

For information on the key economic-financial data envisaged for year 2015, see Paragraph 6.3.5 of the Information Document.
6.3. ESTIMATES AND FORWARD-LOOKING DATA
6.3.1. Introduction
On November 18, 2015, the Enel Group presented to the financial community the Strategic Plan for the period 2016-2019, which includes Group's strategic guidelines and the economic growth, financial and balance sheet Group objectives. Such strategic plan includes, inter alia, forecasts on a number of consolidated economic indicators, such as the Group's EBITDA and net income. The document used for the presentation, "Capital Market Day – Strategic Plan 2016-2019", is available to the public on the Enel Group's website www.enel.com in the section Investor Relations.
Enel's Strategic Plan was prepared through a process involving all of the Enel Group's Business Lines and Countries/ Regions, each of which prepares its own plan proposals starting from the strategic guidelines defined by the Parent Company. Such plans are, lastly, consolidated in the Group's Strategic Plan. The preparation of Enel's Strategic Plan is based upon, inter alia, certain assumptions related to future events that the management expects will materialize and actions that management intends to take the moment in which the Plan is prepared, as well as general assumptions related to future events and actions by the management that will not necessarily materialize, which will depend essentially upon variables falling beyond the management's control.
The Strategic Plan was drafted in continuity with the previous plan for the period 2015-2019 presented on March 19, 2015 to the financial community and continues to focus on bolstering profitability for the shareholders, by taking advantage of the Enel Group's global presence, its leadership in all technologies and the diversification of business lines and geographical areas (see Chapter 4 of the Information Document).
6.3.2. Guidelines of the Strategic Plan 2016-2019
The Strategic Plan 2016-2019 was prepared on the basis of five strategic guidelines cited above and described in greater detail below:
- i) the achievement of high levels of operational efficiency, through the optimization of fixed costs and maintenance investments of assets. In the Plan, the Enel Group expanded its target for operational efficiency up to Euro 1.8 billion of savings over the period 2014-2019, to be achieved through:
- a careful reduction in maintenance investments which will allow for Euro 800 million of savings through technological best practices and improvements in maintenance throughout the entire portfolio of assets. These efficiencies will allow for a further reduction in fixed costs.
- A higher target for the reduction of fixed costs for 2019 by Euro 1 billion, from Euro 9.3 billion in 2014 to Euro 8.3 billion in 2019. Improvements in efficiency will be realized in Renewables, in the Grids, in Conventional Generation, and will also derive from a rationalization of personnel
and technological optimization, through the closure of inefficient plants and the digitalization of grids.
- ii) The relaunch of a growth path of the Enel Group, thanks to a decisive increase in investments in development. A fundamental feature of the updated growth strategy is the rebalancing of investments in favor of growth ones, which are expected to be increased by Euro 2.7 billion, and to reach approximately Euro 17 billion over the period 2016-2019, with a transition toward a lower level of technological and geographical risk. The Group has an extensive and diversified portfolio of small and medium-sized projects, which offers flexibility in the allocation of investments, with the aim to maximizing returns. In addition, the portfolio of projects shows a reduction in the timeframe necessary to generate EBITDA (on average, below two years), sustaining an improvement in selffinancing through the acceleration of cash flows. Over the course of the period 2016-2019, approximately 95% of new growth investments will be allocated to activities with reduced risk profiles and with stable returns, such as the conventional and renewable generation supported by long-term power purchasing agreements (PPA) and the grids. The Strategic Plan envisages a 30% rise in investments in Italy, where the installation of second generation electricity meters will be anticipated and is expected to produce fair returns on regulated business.
- iii) The simplification of the Enel Group's structure the first step toward simplifying the Group's structure in order to improve its operating efficiency and reduce its complexity was the reorganization of Endesa, which was completed at the end of 2014 through the creation of a business that is entirely focused on Iberian Peninsula. The Enel Group's management undertook additional steps toward continuing this process, proposing the full integration of Enel Green Power and its generation portfolio, and the reorganization of business operations in Latin America.
- It is envisaged that the proposed full integration of EGP into the Enel Group with a 100% shareholding, may yield numerous benefits, such as:
- an acceleration in the growth of renewables;
- a faster introduction to all units/structures of the Enel Group of best practices that have been defined and tested by EGP, thus generating greater cost efficiencies;
- optimization of assets and lower volatility in the generation of energy, thus improving the competitiveness of prices;
- greater integration between grids and plants fueled by renewable sources, opening up new business opportunities gradually as the distributed generation becomes widespread, calling for more sophisticated energy management systems;
- reinforced retail products and services for the development of intelligent, integrated and green solutions for customers who want to optimize their energy consumption.
-
The reorganization of the Enel Group in Latin America, including, in a first stage, the demerger of Enersis Endesa Chile e Chilectra's Chilean business operations from those of the other countries in Latin America, followed, in a second stage, by the merger of the non-Chilean companies resulting from the mentioned demergers into Enersis Americas. As of the Date of the Information Document, the proposed reorganization has received the approval of the boards of directors of Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra, and, with regard to the first stage of the corporate reorganization, the approval of the relevant extraordinary shareholders meeting. The reorganization is expected to yield the following benefits:
- a simplified governance, which will facilitate the decision-making and operating processes;
- an approach compatible with the characteristics of the Chilean market (low risk, stable regulatory regime, mature market and high cash flows) and those of the rest of Latin America (higher volatility, higher rates of growth in demand, a robust portfolio of projects aimed at achieving growth);
- greater operating efficiencies;
-
the reduction in cross shareholdings of Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra in the companies in which the latter companies hold equity stakes.
- iv) The active portfolio management with a view to creating value the asset rotation target has been increased to approximately Euro 6 billion from Euro 5 billion under the previous plan. In relation to such target, during the 2015 Enel Group completed the sale of assets for an amount of approximately Euro 3.7 billion, of which Euro 1.6 billion related to transaction which have already been completed. The plan of divestments and the reinvestment of capital is already creating value by accelerating the strategic positioning of the Enel Group, reducing the business risks and sustaining higher returns through the financing of additional growth-driven investments with strategic priority, such as the grids in Europe and renewables throughout the world. In addition, it is envisaged that the proceeds from future portfolio management initiatives may sustain initiatives aimed at simplifying the Enel Group's structure.
- v) Remuneration of the shareholders The dividend policy announced in March 2015 is confirmed under the 2016-2019 plan, which offers certainty in the short term and significant growth potential over the medium term. The 2015 dividend will be equal to the greater sum as between Euro 0.16 per share and 50% of total ordinary net income realized in year 2015. For 2016, the dividend will be equal to the greater sum as between Euro 0.18 per share (after taking into account the shares to be issued to service the integration of Enel and EGP) and 55% of total ordinary net income realized in 2016. On the basis of this policy, it is expected that the payout ratio will rise by 5 percentage points each year, reaching 65% in 2018.
The Plan was prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards used by the Enel Group in drafting its consolidated financial statement.
6.3.3. General assumptions underlying the preparation of estimates and forward-looking data that fall beyond management's control
The preparation of the Strategic Plan required the use of general assumptions related to events and management actions that will not necessarily materialize. In particular, the main general assumptions used concern developments in the economic, energy and regulatory scenario in the countries where the Enel Group operates.
The above-mentioned forecasts – elaborated by Enel's management on the basis of their knowledge, experience and assessments – are also based upon publications by the main national and international economic institutions and the main economic and energy research entities.
In particular, the Strategic Plan was drafted on the basis of certain general variables representing the trend in general economic and energy scenario over the next few years. The elements considered concern essential growth rates in GDP in the main economies of interest, exchange rates, Brent price quotes, the main fuels and wholesale electricity prices. The following table sets forth the main assumptions of such macroeconomic and energy variables.
| GDP growth rates (% YoY) | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | 0.6% | 1.1% | 1.2% |
| Spain | 3.1% | 2.5% | 2.1% |
| Electricity demand (% YoY) | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
| Italy | 1.4% | 0.7% | 0.9% |

| EUR/COP | 3,049 | 3,375 | 3,456 |
| Commodities | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
| Brent (\$/Barrel) | 55 | 63 | 66 |
| Coal (\$/ton) | 59 | 60 | 64 |
| GAS TTF (€MWh) | 20 | 21 | 21 |
| CO2 (€/Mton) | 8 | 9 | 11 |
| Power Prices on the Wholesale Markets | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
| Italy (€/MWh) | 52 | 50 | 52 |
| Spain (€/MWh) | 49 | 49 | 52 |
6.3.4. Hypothetical assumptions underlying the elaboration of Estimates and Forward-looking Data
The Forward Looking Data rely upon assumptions concerning a set of future events and actions, which should be taken by Enel, including, inter alia, hypothetical assumptions related to future events and actions of the administrative bodies that will not necessarily occur and events and actions which are not, entirely or in part, under the control of the administrative bodies of Enel, related to the performance of the main financial and economic values or of other elements which may influence their evolution (collectively, the "Hypothetical Assumptions").
Generally, such Hypotetical Assumptions, include:
- (i) the completion of the Demerger;
- (ii) the implementation of the synergies indicated in the strategic plan and the implementation of the optional investment plan deriving from the completion of the Demerger;
- (iii) the achievement of high levels of operating efficiency, through the optimal management of operative costs and investments for the maintenance of assets;
- (iv) an active portfolio management through the sale of asset as condition for new acquisitions, achieving the above mentioned asset rotation strategy;
- (v) a substantial continuity between the definition criteria of electricity's distribution and metering fees established in Italy by the applicable law and those provided for the fifth regulatory period 2016- 2021, which will be adopted by the Authority for electrical energy, gas and water resources.
Set forth below is a brief description of the main strategic actions and the relatives hypothetical assumptions identified by each Global Division for the achievement of the Group's targets, as defined above:
Global Renewable Energies Division – Enel Green Power boasts an asset portfolio (10.6 GW) that is well diversified in geographical terms and technologies and an important gross pipeline of over 21 GW which constitutes the basis for a sustained and significant future development, further strengthening the Enel Group's leadership position in the sector. The Enel Group's strategic guidelines pertaining to the Renewables business consist of:
- operational efficiency reduction in operating costs in unit terms (per MW) of 20% in 2019 with respect to 2014;
- industrial growth a total investments program of Euro 9.8 billion for the period 2016-2019, of which Euro 9.1 billion will be dedicated to the development of new capacity totaling 7.7 GW including an option for further growth investments of Euro 1.3 billion and 0.9 GW eligible for activation upon the completion of the Transaction. In addition, the business line will constitute an integral part of the process of developing new innovative business models, such as that of electricity storage, micro-grids and distributed generation;
- Asset Rotation proactive management of the portfolio aimed at exiting non-strategic geographical areas and new investments in areas characterized by a higher profitability, with a subsequent increase in the generation of cash flow.
Global Infrastructures and Grids Division – with approximately1.9 million km of grid, 61 million final customers, 410 TWh of distributed power, 38 million of smart meters installed, Enel is one of the leading operators in grid infrastructures at the worldwide level. The Group's strategic guidelines in the Grids business consist of:
- operational efficiency with the ongoing pursuit of cost leadership through a reduction in expenditure per customer thanks to projects featuring operational excellence and the optimization of investments. The above-mentioned initiatives are reflected in the Strategic Plan with an estimated reduction in Cash cost per customer of approximately 19%;
- industrial growth with a total investment plan of Euro 12.6 billion, of which Euro 5.8 billion will be dedicated to develop, mainly in Spain and Latin America, approximately one half of the development projects are focused on the smart grids and on the digitalization of the grids. It is envisaged that the development plan will lead to the installation of an additional 28 million smart meters at the worldwide level, of which 21 million second generation meters will be installed in Italy.
Global Generation Division – the Enel Group's generation division features a balanced and technologically diversified asset portfolio with an installed capacity of 79 GW. The business line's goal is an ongoing technical, environmental and economic performance of the fleet with a view to ensuring: maximized performance of the plants, on the basis of market conditions and demand, a reduction in CO2 emissions and the achievement of leadership levels in the cost structure.
The Group's strategic guidelines in the Generation business consist of:
- operational efficiency –reducing by 14% the unit Cash cost per MW and reducing installed capacity by 23% thanks to the alignment with best practices at a global level for operations management (also through benchmarking analyses and the introduction of across-the-board and centralized processes), improving the efficiency of sourcing/purchases and the Capacity Strategy, that allows for the identification of profitable assets and those that are no longer strategic to be divested or made available for portfolio management;
- industrial growth total investments plan of Euro 4.5 billion over the period 2016 2019, of which over 50% will be concentrated in Latin America and over 30% in Spain. The investment on development (equal approximately to Euro 1.6 billion) will focus on low risk projects thanks to the use of long-term power purchasing agreements (PPA) and reduced capital intensity, with a main focus on Latin America.
Global Trading Division – with the new organizational structure implemented by the Enel Group (see Chapter 4 of the Information Document) trading supersedes the previous structure in which energy management and trading were managed at national regional level, transitioning toward a worldwide and integrated management of the generation portfolio, of raw materials sourcing and trading on the global markets, capable of maximizing the risk-return profile. The Global Business Line manages over 300 TWh of electricity, approximately 40 million tons of coal and 30 billion cubic meters of gas on the international markets.
The main value creation drivers are: i) the integration, thanks to the new organization and the centralized management of risk, ii) the revision of the global commodities sourcing strategy, with the aim of fully exploiting the Enel Group's critical mass on the global markets and to update/renew its portfolio of longterm agreements iii) the exploitation of all opportunities to optimize its generation fleet on the energy and services markets.
Retail Business (sale of electricity, gas and services) – Sales to final customers, managed within regional and national perimeters is the primary focus of the Enel Group's growth strategy. A significant increase in the customer base on the free market is expected during the five years period of 2015-2019, (expected to rise by approximately 15%), an increase in volumes sold on the free market(expected to exceed 20% in electricity and 30% in gas) and a significant expansion in the products and service in the new energy services segment. The growth strategy is coupled with close attention focused on improved operating efficiency thanks to the digitalization and innovative data management instruments. Total investments in the retail business amount approximately to Euro 1 billion for the period 2016-19, of which approximately Euro 0.4 billion for development projects, mainly in the new energy services segment.
6.3.5. Key Estimates and Forward-looking Data
The Strategic Plan 2016-2019, which was prepared on the basis of the assumptions briefly described in the foregoing paragraphs, includes the following estimates and forward-looking data, with reference to years 2015, 2016, 2017 and average growth data for 2015-2019. It should be pointed out that the preliminary data related to year 2015 are expected to be disclosed to the market within the first half of February 2016.
| 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | CAGR 2015 |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recurring EBITDA (€Mld) | 15.0 | 14.7 | 15.5 | ~+4% |
| of which: recurring EBITDA Renewables (€ Mld) |
1.7 | 2.0 | 2.3 | ~+12% |
| Ordinary Net Income (€ Mld) |
3.0 | 3.1 | 3.4 | ~+10% |
| Minimum Dividend | 0.16 €/sh | 0.18 €/sh | ~+17% | |
| Pay-out | 50% | 55% | 60% | +7% |
| Funds from operations /Net Debt |
23% | 23% | 26% | ~+6% |
The foregoing Estimates and Forward-looking Data, as indicated above, are based upon a series of assumptions concerning the materialization of future events and actions that the Enel Group expects to undertake, including general and hypothetic assumptions related to future events and actions that may not necessarily materialize. Therefore, the forward-looking data, since they are based upon assumptions concerning future events and actions taken or still to be taken by management, are characterized by intrinsic elements of subjectivity and uncertainty and, in particular, the risk that the events envisaged and actions expected to give rise to the same may not materialize or may materialize to an extent or over a timeframe other than those expected while, on the other hand, events and actions not foreseeable at the time of their preparation may materialize. Therefore, differences between final figures and forecasted figures may turn out to be significant.

EXPLANATORY REPORT BY ENEL S.P.A.'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE PARTIAL NON-PROPORTIONAL DEMERGER OF ENEL GREEN POWER S.P.A. IN FAVOR OF ENEL S.P.A.
Dear Shareholders,
This report explains, from a legal and economic standpoint, the partial, non-proportional demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. ("EGP" or the "Demerged Company") in favor of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel" or the "Beneficiary Company"), and describes the elements comprising the demerger plan approved by the Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP on November 17, 2015 (the "Demerger Plan"), in accordance with the provisions of arts. 2506-ter and 2501-quinquies of the Italian Civil Code and art. 70, paragraph 2, of the Regulation approved through Consob resolution no. 11971 dated May 14, 1999, as subsequently amended (the "Issuers Regulation"), and Model No. 1 of Schedule 3A of the Issuers Regulation.
1. INTRODUCTION
The transaction described in this report consists in a partial, non-proportional demerger of EGP in favor of its controlling shareholder Enel, in accordance with art. 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Demerger"), which entails:
- the assignment by EGP in favor of Enel of the Set of Assets Demerged (as defined and described in detail in Paragraph 5.1 below), essentially consisting of (i) the totalitarian shareholding held by EGP in Enel Green Power International B.V., a holding company organized and existing under Dutch law which holds shareholdings in companies operating in the renewable energies sectors in North America, Central America and South America, Europe, South Africa and India, and (ii) assets, liabilities, agreements, legal relationships pertaining to such shareholding;
- the retention by EGP of all remaining assets and liabilities other than those comprising the Set of Assets Demerged (and, therefore, essentially, the Italian assets and the limited remaining foreign shareholdings).
As of the Date of Effect of the Demerger (as defined in Paragraph 8 below), the quota of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged will be exchanged on the basis of the Exchange Ratio defined in Paragraph 6 below; the Enel shares issued to service the Demerger exchange will be assigned to EGP's shareholders in accordance with the non-proportional assignment criterion also indicated in Paragraph 6. By virtue of such non-proportional assignment, all of the EGP shares held by shareholders other than Enel will be exchanged with Enel shares, while Enel will exchange solely a portion of its shares held in EGP; such shares will be simultaneously cancelled in accordance with the provisions of art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, as cited for demergers in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code, without proceeding with the assignment of the same. As a result, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger: (i) the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital by the amount indicated in Paragraph 6 below; (ii) all of the EGP shares exchanged with Enel shares will be cancelled, resulting in a reduction of the share capital of the Demerged Company; and (iii) Enel will be the sole shareholder of EGP, while all of the other shareholders of the Demerged Company will become shareholders of Enel. For further information on the Exchange Ratio and the non-proportional nature of the Demerger, see Paragraphs 4 and 6 below.
The effectiveness of the Demerger is, in any case, conditioned upon, in addition to the completion of the relevant corporate procedures, satisfaction of the Condition Precedent (as defined in Paragraph 11 below), consisting in the circumstance that the total liquidation value of the EGP shares with respect to which the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale (as defined in Paragraph 10 below) are validly exercised does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million /00).
The Condition Precedent will be deemed likewise satisfied - even if the above-mentioned limits are exceeded – if Enel, within 60 calendar days of the last registration with the Companies Register of Rome of shareholders' meeting resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to proceed in any case with the purchase of all shares for which the above-mentioned rights have been exercised.
As explained in detail below, the transaction is aimed at achieving complete integration of the renewable energies sector within the Enel Group.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESSES OF THE COMPANIES TAKING PART IN THE DEMERGER
3.1. Enel's business
Enel operates, through its subsidiaries and companies in which it holds stakes, in particular, in the energy sector, conducting, as holding company and controlling shareholder, various business operations directly or indirectly related to such sector.
As of September 30, 2015, the Enel Group operates in over thirty countries, on four continents, and is endowed with power generation plants (thermoelectric, hydroelectric, nuclear, geothermic, wind, photovoltaic plants and other plants fuelled by renewal sources) with net installed capacity of approximately 89 GW, and distributes electricity and gas through a network spanning approximately 1.9 million kilometers.
With 61 million customers throughout the world, the Enel Group has the broadest customer base among its European competitors and is ranked among the leading electricity operators in Europe, in terms of installed capacity and reported EBITDA.
3.2. EGP's business
EGP is the company of the Enel Group that is entirely focused on the development and management of the generation of electricity using renewable sources at the international level, in Europea, on the American continent, in Africa and in Asia.
In particular, as of September 30, 2015, EGP operates through 761 plants operating on the European, American, African and Asian continents, with installed power capacity of 10.6 GW, including wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric and biomass.
4. EXPLANATION OF THE DEMERGER AND REASONS UNDERLYING THE SAME
4.1. Strategic and industrial reasons underlying the Demerger.
A number of phenomena are causing significant changes to the energy paradigm at the worldwide level: a rise in demand for energy driven by economic growth and the process of urban development in emerging countries, a high level of volatility in the price of commodities, growing competitiveness in renewable sources, the development of new technologies, energy efficiency, greater attention and awareness focusing on environmental issues.
In this new "world", the renewable energy sector has taken on an increasingly predominant role, as a result of both growing competitiveness of less mature technologies – wind and solar – brought by rapid technological advances, and contributions to the energy model with regard to environmental sustainability.
Large utilities operators have taken action to exploit opportunities offered by the renewables business, by establishing companies entirely dedicated to the development and management of renewable energy plants. In this context, in 2008, Enel created EGP, a corporate vehicle in which it concentrated its business related to the production of electricity using renewable sources, and later proceeded to have EGP listed on the stock exchange in 2010.
Over the last several years, a number of signs of changes have arisen in the above-mentioned energy model, initially triggered by the rapid large-scale development of renewable sources, resulting in issues related to the need to adapt grids/networks. This was coupled with the emergence of new phenomena such as, among others, distributed power generation, energy efficiency, electric cars and energy storage, which are increasingly determining a radical transformation in behavior of consumers, who are becoming increasingly active as "producers" and "operators/managers" of their own electricity demand. In addition, the need has arisen to develop new technologies which allow the electricity system to evolve toward a model that better integrates traditional generation sources and, therefore, plannable sources, with renewable sources, which latter sector continues to show a high growth rate at the worldwide level.
Such growth is seen principally in two main areas. Firstly, on emerging markets (characterized by economic growth and significant urban development), renewable sources constitute the fastest answer to the rise in electricity demand. Secondly, even on mature markets, there exist development opportunities for renewable sources, supported by a process toward the gradual dismantling of traditional power generation capacity (such as, for example, coal-fired plants) and its replacement with new renewable capacity, using, in particular, wind and solar sources, characterized by faster commissioning timetables, contained execution/realization risks and competitive costs.
The increasingly rising need to achieve integration between renewable sources and traditional sources, as well as between the distribution networks and the market (the "single integrated system"), is swiftly leading to the modernization of the electricity grid, through digitalization and the "smart meter", effectively transforming energy utilities companies like Enel from simple producers and distributors of energy to services suppliers and systems optimizers. This phenomenon is creating new business opportunities that utilities operators will be ready to exploit only if they are positioned as global operators that are integrated in the electricity system.
Within this context, the Enel Group is well-positioned in the main strategic areas of the new model, as one of the few global operators in the sector, as well as one of the more diversified operators from a technological standpoint, with a customer base exceeding 60 million. Moreover, the Group is optimally positioned to take advantage of numerous growth opportunities at the worldwide level, by exploiting its high level of geographical diversification. Indeed, it is present in all geographical areas featuring significant growth prospects, most recently the Asian continent, where the Group has recently established a base, entering the Indian renewable energy market.
In recent years, EGP has achieved significant results, from both an operating and economic-financial standpoint, achieving its growth and internationalization objectives. Indeed, since its listing until today, it has achieved growth of 82.7% in its renewable installed capacity, from 5.8 GW to its current 10.6 GW, and 38% growth in EBITDA, from Euro 1.3 billion in 2010 (8% of the Group's EBITDA) to Euro 1.8 billion expected to be achieved in 2015 (12% of the Group's EBITDA), coupled by an international presence (expressed as a percentage out of installed capacity) which rose from 54% in 2010 to the current approximately 70%.
In consideration of the significant market opportunities and in line with the growing focus on renewable energies, over the next timeline of the plan, a rise in investments in the development of renewable energies is expected, which are expected to account for about 50% of the Enel Group's investments in growth.
The process aimed at complete integration of the renewable energy business is therefore consistent with the Enel Group's development strategy and supported by significant justifications, which are not only strategic in nature (as described above) but also industrial and financial, offering opportunities for the creation of value.
The industrial reasons focus on two main objectives: growth and integration, in the strict sense.
The first strategic macro-area would allow for greater creation of value for the Group through the possible further acceleration of investments, and the implementation of the Active Portfolio Management strategy. In a context in which EGP's now proven capacity with regard to both the development of projects and their realization, exceed its investment capacity from a "stand-alone" perspective (in order to preserve the company's capacity solidity) and due to the Enel Group's financial capacity, the complete integration between Enel and EGP would enable the latter to realize additional growth initiatives in the renewable business which are not sustainable in its current structure. The acceleration of investments would consist of a greater possible allocation of capital to EGP in the range of Euro 1.3 billion over the period from 2018 and 2019, which would be invested in development projects in emerging countries.
The second macro-strategy aimed at the creation of value is that of integration in the strict sense, which consists of the realization of operational and management synergies attainable through: the capacity to synergically exploit their respective business expertise/know-how, yielding cost efficiencies; the possibility of jointly managing various production chains, resulting in risk reduction; the opportunity to benefit from the Group's financial solidity.
Another way to possibly achieve streamlining /optimization would be through the reduction of "merchant" risk in countries/markets in which both Enel and EGP operate, essentially thanks to a vertical integration and consequent centralized management of hedging and risk related to the optimization of the maintenance plan at an integrated level of the renewable and traditional plants and greater commercial competitiveness ensured by the synergetic management of renewable and traditional assets.
Lastly, the integration between Enel and EGP would be in line with Enel's goal of gradually reducing and rationalizing of minority shareholdings in affiliates, also for purposes of achieving greater symmetry between the financial commitments aimed at the development of EGP and the profitability and cash generation of the Group.
4.2. Legal aspects of the Demerger
4.2.1 Explanation of the Demerger
In order to achieve the above-mentioned industrial objectives, the Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP, at the meetings held on November 17, 2015 approved, pursuant to art. 2506-bis and art. 2501-ter of the Italian Civil Code, the Demerger Plan, which, as already mentioned, envisages the partial, non-proportional Demerger of EGP in favor of its controlling shareholder/parent company Enel. The Demerger Plan was prepared on the basis of the financial statements of the companies taking part in the Demerger as of September 30, 2015, that were drafted and approved – pursuant to and for purposes of art. 2501-quater of the Italian Civil Code, cited on the matter of demergers under art. 2506-ter, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code– at the same meetings of the Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP that approved the Demerger Plan.
With regard to the foregoing, it should be noted that, for purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio and the criterion for the non-proportional assignment of the shares at the time of the exchange (as better described in Paragraph 6 below), the companies taking part in the Demerger availed themselves of primary independent financial advisors of proven professional experience and, namely:
- for Enel, Credit Suisse and JP Morgan;
- for EGP, Barclays and Mediobanca.
The Demerger Plan, for both companies taking part in the Demerger, will be filed for registration in the Register of companies of Rome pursuant to article 2501-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, cited in article 2506-bis, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Demerger Plan, the financial statements drafted in accordance with art. 2501-quater of the Italian Civil Code, this report and the explanatory report by EGP's Board of Directors drafted in accordance with art. 2501-quinquies of the Italian Civil Code, the expert's report drafted in accordance with article 2501-sexies of the Italian Civil Code, and the financial statements for the three years 2014, 2013 and 2012 of the two companies taking part in the Demerger, will be filed by Enel and EGP, at least thirty days prior to the extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Enel and EGP called to approve the Demerger, at the respective registered offices and published, by the same deadlines, on the websites www.enel.com and www.enelgreenpower.com, in accordance with article 2501-septies of the Italian Civil Code, cited in article 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code, and in the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com). In addition, in accordance with the provisions of art. 2506-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, an estimate/appraisal report on the Set of Assets Demerged will be drafted by an independent expert, to be filed with the companies register of Rome and/or published through filing at the registered offices of Enel and EGP and on the websites www.enelgreenpower.com and www.enel.com during the 30 days preceding the extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Enel and EGP called to approve the Demerger and, lastly, filed with the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com).
Enel and EGP will draft the information document provided under article 70, paragraph 6, of the Issuers Regulation, which will be made public at least fifteen days prior to the extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Enel and EGP called to approve the Demerger, in accordance with the same procedures indicated above.
Under art. 57, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Issuers Regulation, the publication of a listing prospectus is not envisaged in connection with the Demerger since, as specified in Paragraph 5.2 below, the number of Enel shares issued to service the Demerger exchange represent less than 10% of the values of the Enel shares issued in the last 12 months.
The above-mentioned extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Enel and EGP, called to approve the Demerger, are called on January 11, 2016, in a single session.
Starting on the date of registration of the related resolutions with the Register of Companies of Rome, the following terms will start to run (i) the sixty days within which the corporate creditors of the two companies may present an opposition to the Demerger in accordance with art. 2503 of the Italian Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code, and (ii) the fifteen days within which EGP's shareholders who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger may exercise their Right of Withdrawal and/or Right of Sale (as illustrated in Paragraph 10 below).
In compliance with art. 47 of Law No. 428/1990 as subsequently amended and supplemented, Enel and EGP will complete the trade union disclosure and consultation procedure with regard to the Demerger.
Upon the completion of the above activities, the deed of Demerger will be executed.
As a result of the Demerger, EGP's shares will cease to be traded on the MTA, and on the Spanish continuous electronic trading system (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil, SIBE).
4.2.2 Issues related to the existence of a related party relationship between the Demerged Company and the Beneficiary Company
As regards Enel, the Demerger transaction, while being carried out with a related party, is exempt from the application of the special Procedure for transactions with related party (adopted in accordance with the Regulation on related party transactions approved by Consob through resolution no. 17221 dated March 12, 2010, the "RPT Regulation"), since the transaction is being concluded with a subsidiary in which there do not exist significant interests of other related parties (within the meaning set forth in art. 14, paragraph 2, of the RPT Regulation and art. 13.3, letter d), of the above-mentioned Procedure). In consideration of the foregoing, no involvement on the part of Enel's Related Parties Committee was required for the approval of the Demerger Plan.
As regards EGP, EGP's Related Parties Committee was involved for the activities falling under its responsibility and for the issuance of the necessary binding opinion, since, for EGP, the Demerger constitutes, under the RPT Regulation, a related party transaction of "major importance" that is not exempt, since it is concluded with its controlling shareholder. For the activities falling under its responsibility, EGP's Related Parties Committee was assisted by independent financial advisors appointed by the Committee, and namely Lazard and Prof. Enrico Laghi.
The Demerger Plan was therefore approved by EGP's Board of Directors, following the favorable reasoned opinion of the Demerged Company's Related Parties Committee issued on November 16, 2015. The information document required under the legal framework on related party transactions (art. 5 of the RPT Regulation) will be made available by EGP, by 24 November 2015, at its registered office, on its website www.enelgreenpower.com, and on the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com).
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE BALANCE SHEET ELEMENTS ASSIGNED TO THE BENEFICIARY COMPANY
5.1. Balance sheet elements assigned
As already mentioned, the Demerger will be approved by resolution on the basis of the financial statements of Enel and EGP as of September 30, 2015, attached to the Demerger Plan.
The Demerger will give rise to the assignment of almost all of EGP's foreign shareholdings and financial assets in favor of Enel, while EGP will keep its Italian assets and the remaining foreign shareholdings.
In particular, the balance sheet elements and related legal relationships which, as a result of the Demerger, will be assigned to the Beneficiary Company are the following (the "Set of Assets Demerged"):
- 1) totalitarian shareholding in the company organized and existing under Dutch law, Enel Green Power International BV;
- 2) short-term financial receivable owed by the company Enel Green Power North America Ltd. in connection with a financial restructuring transaction concluded in 2014; the exchange rate risk related to such financial receivable is hedged through a currency forward contract;
- 3) legal relationships related to the long-term credit line with Enel Green Power International BV;
- 4) legal relationships with the six employees pertaining to the business unit comprising the Set of Assets Demerged and the consequent asset-side and liability-side balance sheet items referring to the same;
- 5) guarantees granted by EGP in the interest of Enel Green Power International BV and its subsidiaries as security for a number of commitments undertaken.
The detailed description of the asset-side and liability-side balance sheet elements and related legal relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged which will remain assigned to the Beneficiary Company as a result of the Demerger is set forth in schedule G to the Demerger Plan.
In any case, where the assignment of assets, liabilities, rights or obligations is not discernible from the Demerger Plan, such elements shall be deemed assigned to the Beneficiary Company where the same pertain to the Set of Assets Demerged.
It should be further noted that any windfall assets or contingent liabilities that may arise after the Date of Effect of the Demerger shall remain, respectively, for the benefit of or borne by the Beneficiary Company provided that they pertain to the Set of Assets Demerged.
The composition of the net shareholders' equity for accounting purposes of EGP and Enel, after the Demerger, is set forth in specific tables (respectively called "Composition of the net shareholders' equity of the Demerged Company ante and post Demerger" and "Composition of the net shareholders' equity of the Beneficiary Company ante and post Demerger") set forth in Schedules H and I to the Demerger Plan.
It should be noted, in conclusion, that:
- the Set of Assets Demerged includes the contractual relationships pertaining thereto, including the employment relationships with the six human resources, as indicated in detail in the Demerger Plan;
- the asset-side and liability-side balance sheet elements and the legal relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged will be those existing on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, therefore also taking into account the changes that will take place between the date of reference of the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 of the Demerged Company and the Date of Effect of the Demerger, as a result of the trends in day-to-day business operations. Therefore, any differences in the value/existence of such elements and relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged, between September 30, 2015 and
the Date of Effect of the Demerger, shall give rise to the registration of a credit/debit item between the Demerged Company and the Beneficiary Company.
5.2. Changes in EGP's net shareholders' equity, Enel's capital increase
The changes to the composition of the Net Shareholders' Equity of the Demerged Company deriving from the Demerger are attributable to the following:
- decrease in share capital of Euro 728,000,000 (seven hundred twenty eight million/00), corresponding to the nominal value of the cancelled shares;
- decrease in Other Reserves, including the quota corresponding to the Legal Reserve attributable to the decree in share capital carried out, in the amount of Euro 2,936,162,218 (two billion nine hundred thirty six million one hundred sixty two thousand two hundred eighteen/00);
- decrease in Other Reserves, in the amount of Euro 6,784,000 (six million seven hundred eighty four thousand /00), corresponding to the estimate of costs classified as ancillary costs directly attributable to the Demerger, net of the related tax effect.

The changes in the composition of the Net Shareholders' Equity of the Beneficiary Company Enel SpA deriving from the Demerger, asssuming that no shareholder di Enel Green Power exercises the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale, are attributable to:
- an increase in the Share Capital, in the amount of Euro 770,588,712 (seven hundred seventy million five hundred eighty eight thousand seven hundred twelve/00), corresponding to the nominal value of the newly issued shares attributed to EGP's shareholders other than Enel;
- an increase in Other Reserves, in the amount of Euro 2,302,519,071 (two billion three hundred two million five hundred nineteen thousand seventy one /00), corresponding to the excess over the theoretical issue price of the shares (equal to Euro 3.988 Euro per share corresponding to the Stock Exchange price quote for the Enel share on September 30, 2015) with respect to their nominal value;
- decrease in the Other Reserves, in the amount of Euro 7,250,000 (seven million two hundred fifty thousand /00), corresponding to an estimate of the costs qualifiable as transaction costs directly attributable to the Demerger, net of the related tax effect.
The following table illustrates the composition of Enel's net shareholders' equity for accounting purposes following the Demerger.

5.3. Actual values of the net shareholders' equity assigned to Enel and of the net shareholders' equity that will remain with EGP
It is certified, pursuant to art. 2506-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, that: (i) the actual value of the net shareholders' equity assigned to Enel as a result of the Demerger is not lower than the related book value (which as of September 30, 2015 is equal to Euro 3,664,162,218 (three billion six hundred sixty four million one hundred sixty two thousand two hundred eighteen /00); and (ii) the actual value of the net shareholders' equity that will remain with EGP as a result of the Demerger is not lower than the related book value (which as of September 30, 2015 is Euro 3,201,050,344 (three billion two hundred one million fifty thousand three hundred forty four/00).
6. EXCHANGE RATIO ESTABLISHED AND CRITERIA FOLLOWED FOR ITS DETERMINATION
6.1. The assigment criterion and Exchange Ratio
Since this transaction is a demerger with a non-proportional assignment, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the portion of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged, consisting of 3,640,000,000 shares of EGP (the "EGP Shares exchanged"), will be exchanged on the basis of the Exchange Ratio indicated below, in accordance with the following proportions:
- (i) EGP's shareholders other than Enel will exchange all of their shares in EGP;
- (ii) Enel will exchange only a portion of the shares held in EGP, corresponding to the number of EGP Shares exchanged, after deducting the EGP Shares exchanged by EGP's shareholders other than Enel.
As indicated in the Demerger Plan, for purposes of determining the above-mentioned number of EGP Shares exchanged, respectively, by Enel and EGP's shareholders other than Enel, and therefore the criterion for the non-proportional assignment of the newly issued shares of the Beneficiary Company to the shareholders of the Demerged Company, the Boards of Directors of the companies taking part in the Demerger, after examining the reports by the respective financial advisors indicated above and with their support, have assigned to such Set of Assets Demerged a value corresponding to 72.8 percent of the entire value of EGP before the Demerger.
The Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP, at the meetings held on November 17, 2015, after examining the reports by the respective financial advisors indicated above and with their support – and, as regards the Demerged Company, acknowledging the Related Parties Committee's reasoned favorable opinion – approved the following Exchange Ratio: 0.486 newly issued Enel shares for each EGP Share exchanged (the "Exchange Ratio").
No cash adjustments are envisaged.
As a result, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital through the issuance of up to 1,769,040,000 (one billion seven hundred sixty nine million forty thousand) shares – with regular entitlement and a nominal value of Euro 1.00 each - in favor of the shareholders of the Demerged Company on the basis of the Exchange Ratio. The amount of Enel's capital increase to service the Exchange Ratio may not exceed the value attributed to the Set of Assets Demerged under the appraisal report by the independent expert drafted in accordance with the provisions of art. 2506-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code.
In particular:
- a) the shareholders of EGP other than Enel will be assigned through application of the Exchange Ratio – a total of up to a maximum of 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of a total of 1,585,573,483 EGP shares held by such shareholders, while
- b) Enel will be assigned a total of 998,451,288 Enel shares with simultaneous cancellation of the same pursuant to the prohibition provided under art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code –, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of 2,054,426,517 EGP shares held by it.
Taking into account the foregoing, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the share capital of the Beneficiary Company will be increased by up to a maximum of 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, all of which are destined for the shareholders of the Demerged Company other than Enel.
The number of newly assigned Enel shares may change depending upon the number of EGP shares acquired by Enel upon the conclusion of the pre-emption offer of the EGP shares that may be subject to the Right of Sale and Right of Withdrawal (indicated below in Paragraph 10).
Since, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, all of the above-mentioned 3,640,000,000 EGP shares representing the portion of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged forming the subject matter of the exchange will be cancelled in their entirety, on such date, the Demerged Company's share capital will be reduced from its current total amount of Euro 1,000,000,000.00 (one billion/00) to a total of Euro 272,000,000 (two hundred seventy two million/00), comprised of 1,360,000,000 (one billion three hundred sixty million) ordinary shares having a value per share of Euro 0.20 (zero/20) each.
As a result of the exchange by EGP shareholders other than Enel of all shares held by them in EGP, and the consequent cancellation of the same, Enel – as a result of the Demerger – will be the sole shareholder of the Demerged Company.
The Exchange Ratio will be subject to a congruousness opinion by one or more independent experts pursuant to art. 2501-sexies of the Italian Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code.
6.2. Valuation methodologies to determine the Exchange Ratio and the value of the Set of Assets Demerged
Enel's Board of Directors retained Credit Suisse Securities Europe Limited and J.P. Morgan Limited (the "Advisors") as its financial advisers with regard to the economic, financial and valuation aspects of the Demerger, in line with the international best practices. In particular, on November 17, 2015, the Advisors delivered to Enel's Board of Directors specific opinions (so called fairness opinion) on the fairness, from a financial standpoint, of the Exchange Ratio determined by the Board itself.
The fairness opinions delivered by the Advisors (the "Opinions") were independently prepared by them on the basis of several valuation methodologies, in line with market practice, assumptions and parameters, and reach similar conclusions.
The Opinions will be enclosed to the information document to be prepared in accordance with art. 70, paragraph 6, of the Issuers Regulation and in accordance with Schedule 3B to such Regulation, to be made available to the public as provided by the law.
With regard to the determination of the Exchange Ratio specified in section 6.1 and the relative valuation of the equity value of the Set of Assets Demerged with respect to EGP, reference was made to and took into account the elements indicated in the valuation methodologies described below and the results deriving from the application of such methodologies.
The valuation methodologies described in this document were identified and adopted with the sole objective calculating a comparative estimate of the equity value of Enel and EGP, on one hand, and of the Set of Assets Demerged and EGP, on the other, therefore shall only be considered in relative terms, with exclusive and limited reference to the Demerger; therefore, the same shall not be compared with market values, disposal prices, or considered representative of an absolute stand-alone valuation of either of the companies (or of the Set of Assets Demerged) analyzed, nor do they reflect the impact of any operating, financial or other benefits that are expected as a result of the Demerger.
In addition, the valuation methodologies were applied with the primary objective of allowing consistency and comparability of each of the criteria applied rather than the determination of an absolute value of the companies, or of the Set of Assets Demerged, considered individually and, for purposes of preserving such consistency for valuation purposes, the same valuation methodologies were applied to both companies, and – as regards the valuation of the Set of Assets Demerged – to such Set of Assets Demerged and EGP, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of each of them and their status of listed companies on regulated markets with regard to the valuation of Enel and EGP for the purpose of determining the Exchange Ratio..
In consideration of the purpose of the valuations, the specific characteristics of the entities being evaluated and in line with the best valuation practice at national and international level for similar transactions, several valuation methodologies were undertaken, both analytical and market-based. The application of such methodologies was carried out under the going concern assumption for both Enel and EGP.
Consideration has been given to the fact that Enel and EGP will not distribute any dividends for fiscal year 2015 before the Demerger effective date and it was deemed appropriate to solely express ranges for the Exchange Ratio, derived from the homogeneous application of each valuation methodology adopted, and not the absolute values resulting from them, since only the former are considered representative: fundamental condition for the definition of the exchange ratio is the quantification of the relative value of the individual companies taking part in the transaction, with the final goal not to calculate an economic value in absolute terms for each of them, but rather homogeneous and comparable values in relative terms.
Lastly, in consideration of the procedures and timetable envisaged for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale, and since it is not possible to quantify their future impact, the effects of such rights that might potentially be exercised by EGP's shareholders who do not vote in favor of the relevant resolutions have not been taken into account.
Reference date and documentation used
The reference date of the valuations carried out to determine the Exchange Ratio coincides with the date of this report, assuming that for each of the companies participating to the Demerger, no events, facts or acts have occurred of such a nature to materially affect the assets, liabilities, economic and financial profile of the companies being analysed or the Set of Assets Demerged, in the period between the last available standalone and consolidated financial statements and the date of this report.

- (f) forecasts prepared by the management of Enel and EGP with regard to the main balance sheet, economic, financial and operating data of the respective groups (including details for main divisions/countries) for the year 2015 ("pre-closing");
- (g) long-term economic, financial and operating forecasts prepared by the management of Enel and EGP for the years following the term of the respective Business Plans;
- (h) net debt data and other balance sheet items as of September 30, 2015 and estimates as of December 31, 2015 used to calculate the equity value from the Enterprise Value (referred to as "bridge-to-equity");

- (j) evolution of Enel and EGP share prices on the Stock Exchange;
- (k) financial research and reports on Enel and EGP published by brokers and investment banks.
Other publicly available information was also taken into account, including the following:
- research reports, financial statements and reports, analyses related to companies operating in the energy and renewable energy sectors; and

As for the valuation of the Set of Assets Demerged, reference was made to the following information:
- (a) forecasts prepared by EGP's management for the years 2016–2020 related to the main balance sheet, economic, financial and operating data of the Set of Assets Demerged;
- (b) forecasts prepared by EGP's management related to the main balance sheet, economic, financial and operating data of the Set of Assets Demerged for the year 2015 ("pre-closing");

- (d) long-term economic, financial and operating forecasts prepared by EGP's management for the years after the termination of the Business Plan.
Limitations of the analysis and valuation difficulties in the determination of the Exchange Ratio
The conclusions of the valuation analysis carried out must, in any case, be considered bearing in mind a number of limitations and difficulties that are summarized below:
- 1. forward-looking data and economic and financial estimates and forecasts used for the purposes of the relative valuations entail, by their nature, uncertainties with regard to the actual predictability of expected future operating and financial performance, also in consideration of potential changes in the reference markets;
- 2. the high level of volatility in the financial markets; in that respect the international financial context is currently characterized by an extremely high level of volatility, which can have significant as well as unpredictable impacts, not only with reference to the share prices of the companies under consideration, but also on their assets, liabilities and their economic and financial performance;
- 3. the valuation methodologies based on economic and financial projections refer to the stand-alone Business Plans approved by the respective Boards of Directors of the two companies that have not been certified by the relevant audit firm;
- 4. the application of the DCF methodology, using a "sum of the parts" approach required the use of economic, financial and balance sheet data for the specific business areas/countries in which the companies involved operate, requiring a complex allocation exercise of such items to the individual business units/ countries;
- 5. different methodologies have been applied, both analytical and market-based, which have required the use of different data, parameters and assumptions. In applying such methodologies, the Board of Directors considered the characteristics and limitations inherent in each of them, in accordance with professional valuation practice followed at national and international level;
- 6. in the application of the methodology of the target prices included in the research reports published by financial research community, only such reports published prior to the approval of ENEL's and EGP's new Business Plans were considered. Their estimates and expectations may differ, even significantly, from the Business Plans recently approved by the respective Boards;
- 7. the comparable companies trading multiples methodology was considered not relevant and not applicable given the low level of comparability of the companies being evaluated with other listed operators, also in consideration of the significant presence of minorities in the case of Enel.
Valuation methodologies used for the determination of the Exchange Ratio
In order to determine the Exchange Ratio, several valuation methodologies and criteria, both analytical and market-based, have been identified, in light of the specific characteristics of the companies being evaluated and in line with best valuation practice at national and international level for similar transactions. Such methodologies, however, should not be analyzed individually, but rather considereded an integral part of a single and comprehensive valuation process. The analysis of the results achieved using each methodology individually, without considering the valuation process in its entirety, would result in an overall insignificant valuation process.
In light of the considerations mentioned above, the following methodologies have been selected individually:
- (a) Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology;
- (b) the DCF Methodology through a "Sum of the Parts" approach;
- (c) analysis of the implied Exchange Ratio derived from Enel and EGP target prices published by brokers and by the major investment banks.
The following paragraphs provide a summary explanation, from a theoretical standpoint, of the methodologies used and a summary of the results obtained using each of them to determe the Exchange Ratio.
In addition, the impact of potential drivers of value creation expected to derive form the transaction and the potential impact on the equity value of Enel of those benefits on the basis of the Exchange Ratio has been analysed and considered.
Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology
The Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology determines the value of a company being evaluated on the basis of the market capitalization deriving from the trading prices of the related shares exchanged on the regulated stock markets. In particular, such methodology is considered an important reference point for the valuation of listed companies where the shares exhibits high level of liquidity. Theory and professional practice further suggest, in light of the potential short-term volatility, to keep into account the evolution of the trading prices and calculate the price averages over several timeframes.
In this case, the ratio between the Stock Exchange prices (as provided by the FactSet database) at which Enel and EGP shares have been trading allows for the determination of an implied Exchange Ratio, based upon various timeframes. Moreover, it was deemed to consider the Stock Share Price Methodology appropriate in the case of Enel and EGP, considering their respective capitalizations and level of liquidity, the extensive research coverage of the companies by brokers and the major investment banks and the presence of a broad shareholder base including national and international institutional investors.
The application of the Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology has led to an observation of daily exchange ratios on the basis of the relevant Stock Exchange prices for Enel and EGP.
Such exchange ratios have been observed in the context of various time periods prior to (and including) September 30, 2015 and October 26, 2015 (included). Such dates are considered the most recent dates relevant for the analysis of the trading price methodology, since
- on October 1, 2015, Enel's Board of Directors resolved to start the process of analyzing and studying the transaction under consideration;
- on October 27, 2015, the Stock Exchange prices of Enel and EGP were significantly influenced by market speculations on a possible announcement of the transaction under consideration or of a similar one. It must be noted in such regard that a joint press release was issued by Enel and EGP on October 27, 2015.
With regard to the averages of the daily exchange ratios observed, the averages for the periods of 1, 3, 6, 12 months and starting from the date of EGP's listing were considered. The selection of such reference periods, in addition to the observations as of September 30, 2015 and October 26, 2015, is aimed at neutralizing any short-term volatility in the share prices of the two stocks, while at the same time attributing adequate weight to the most recent trading prices.
DCF Methodology through "Sum of the Parts"approach
Such valuation methodology was adopted in order to factor into the analysis the operating cash flows that Enel and EGP may generate in the future, as well as take into account their respective characteristics in terms of profitability, growth, risk level, capital structure and expected level of investments.
On the basis of this methodology, the equity value of a company is estimated as the algebraic sum of:
- 1. The net present value of the "unlevered" operating cash flows expected under the respective Business Plans;
-
2. Terminal value;
-
3. Net financial debt, including TFR and other employees' benefits, significant items of risks and other provisions and net deferred taxes (to be deducted);
- 4. Value of any ancillary, non-operating assets and assets held for sale (to be added)
as expressed by the following formula:
$$
W = \sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{CF_t}{(1 + WACC)^t} + \frac{TV}{(1 + WACC)^n} - FD_{t0} + OA_{t0}
$$
where:
W = Value of economic capital
CFt = annual "unlevered" operating cash flow expected in period t
TV = terminal value
FD = net financial debt, including TFR and other employees' benefits, significant items of risks and other provisions and net deferred taxes
OA = Value of ancillary or non-operating assets and assets held for sale
n = Number of periods of explicit forecasts
WACC = weighted average cost of capital
The "unlevered" operating cash flows of the explicit forecast period can be determined in detail as follows:
-
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT);
-
Theoretical taxes on EBIT (net of any non-monetary adjustments considered part of the taxable base for tax accounting purposes);
-
non cash amortizations/depreciations;
-
Fixed investments;
+/- Changes in net working capital.
The terminal value, where relevant, constitutes the remaining value of the business at the end of the forecast period prepared by the management of Enel and EGP; such terminal value was estimated on the basis of data, parameters and assumptions discussed and shared with the management of Enel and EGP.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to calculate the present value of expected cash flows and terminal value is derived as the weighted average of cost equity and cost of debt using the following formula:
$$
WACC = Kd(1-t)\frac{D}{D+E} + Ke\frac{E}{D+E}
$$
where:
Kd = Cost of debt Ke = Cost of equity D = Debt capital
E = Equity capital
t = Tax rate
In particular, the cost of debt represents the long-term cost of debt funding for companies or assets with similar level of risk, net of the tax effect.
The cost of equity reflects the return expected by the investor, taking into account the risk related to the investment, calculated on the basis of the Capital Asset Pricing Model through the following formula:
$$
Ke = Rf + \beta(Rm - Rf)
$$
where:
Ke = Cost of equity
Rf = Rate of return expected on risk-free investments
β = Coefficient which measures the correlation between returns expected on the investment considered and returns expected on the reference stock market
Rm = Average return expected on equity investments on the reference stock market (Rm - Rf) = equity market risk premium of the reference stock market (Rm) compared to risk-free investments (Rf)
In general, the WACC rate used for the purpose of estimating the equity value of Enel and EGP reflects assumptions consistent with market benchmarks related to the cost of debt and cost of equity (expected rate of risk-free return, Beta coefficient, market risk premium), as well as with the capital structure of the assets/businesses being evaluated.
For purpose of the valuation of Enel and EGP using the DCF methodology, a "Sum of the Parts" approach was followed. The value of Enel and EGP for the purposes of this report is therefore determined as the sum of the values of the individual assets identifiable for each business area / country as identified by the management of both companies, considering the same as economic entities that can be evaluated separately.
The valuation of the economic entities in question also entailed the valuation of the same through the preparation of specific DCFs for each of them using different assumptions and estimates of WACC and Terminal Value consistent with the profile of the specific assets.
In particular, for Enel, WACCs have been estimated for each business area/country (for which a specific DCF was prepared) analysed; such differentiation was carried out in consideration of the following:
- The specific rate of return expected on risk-free investments (Rf) and the specific rate of return expected on equity investments in the relevant stock market of each country (Rm), taking into account the different risk profile of each country;
- specific tax rate of each country (t);
- specific beta coefficient of each business area (β);
The WACCs estimated in such manner result in a weighted average between approximately 6.6% and 6.8% for the Advisors.
Similarly, with regard to EGP, WACCs estimates have been differentiated for each country for which a specific DCF was prepared; in a manner similar to what is described above, such differentiation was carried out in consideration of the following:
- specific Rf and specific Rm, taking into account the different risk profile of each country;
- specific tax rate of each country.
The WACCs estimated in such manner result in a weighted average of approximately 6.2%.
Also with regard to the estimate of the Terminal Value specific assumptions were used for each business area / country (in Enel's case) or for each country (in EGP's case) for which a specific DCF was prepared. Such estimates of the Terminal Value were elaborated considering the specific characteristics of each business / country and on the basis of data, parameters and assumptions discussed and shared with the management of Enel and EGP and, in particular, the following methodologies were used with reference to the main business lines /countries:
- Enel: for the distribution business in Italy and Spain, a multiple of the regulatory asset base ("RAB") was used, ranging between 1.1x and 1.2x; for the supply business in Italy and Spain, the Annuity method was used, which assumes that the cash flow generated in the last year is extended for a certain period of time; for the remaining Enel businesses, with the exception of EGP, the perpetual growth rate methodology was used, with long-term growth rates ranging between 0.6% and 2.0%.
- EGP: the Salvage Value method was used , that is, the amount recoverable at the end of the concession or useful lifetime of the a plant. Such value, in practice, is often estimated as a percentage of the initial investment considered in nominal terms at the relevant date. The methodology was applied on the basis of the weighted useful life of EGP's plants in each country.
Analyses of the Exchange Ratio implied in the target prices of Enel and EGP published by brokers and by the major investment banks
Through such methodology, the valuations of Enel and EGP deriving from the research reports published by brokers and primary national and international investment banks were analysed in order to compare their relative target prices and calculate, using such target prices, a range of Exchange Ratios. Only research reports published until October 26, 2015 for both Enel and EGP were considered, excluding any publications that made reference to a potential extraordinary transaction involving EGP in order to avoid the risk that such target prices do not reflect a stand-alone valuation.
Exchange Ratio: summary of the results
Without prejudice to the considerations, assumptions and limitations described in the foregoing paragraphs, the following table sets forth a summary of the results achieved through the application of the various valuation methodologies described above for the purpose of determining the Exchange Ratio, that is the number of newly issued ordinary Enel shares for each ordinary EGP share.
| Methodology | Range of Exchange Ratios |
|---|---|
| Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology | 0.42 – 0.49 |
| Sum of the Parts DCF Methodology | 0.42 – 0.51 |
| Analysis of brokers target prices | 0.28 – 0.58 |
Enel's Board of Directors, in light of the foregoing considerations and following the valuation process and the detailed comparison of the results obtained through the application of the various methodologies applied, with the support of its Advisors, arrived at the following Exchange Ratio:
0.486 Enel Shares having a nominal value of Euro 1.00
for each EGP share having a nominal value of Euro 0.20.

Valuation methodologies used to appraise the Set of Assets Demerged
For the purposes of the valuation of the equity value of the Set of Assets Demerged and the comparison of the same with the overall valuation of EGP's equity value, we proceeded, in line with the valuation approach used to determine the Exchange Ratio and taking into consideration the specific characteristics of EGP and the Set of Assets Demerged – and in particular the fact that the Set of Assets Demerged is not a listed company and, therefore, it was not possible to apply either the Stock Exchange Share Price Methodology or the methodology of the target prices published by brokers and the major investment banks – to use the DCF Methodology.
The assumptions and estimates of the WACCs and Terminal Value for the valuation of the Set of Assets Demerged using the DCF Methodology were prepared in line with those used for the valuation of EGP using the DCF Methodology.
Limitations on the analysis and difficulties in appraising the Set of Assets Demerged
The conclusions of the valuation of the equity value of the Set of Assets Demerged and comparison of the same with the overall valuation of EGP's equity value must be considered in light of several limitations and difficulties which may be summarized as follows:
- 1. the non-listed nature of the Set of Assets Demerged made inapplicable certain valuation methodologies which have been used for the valuation of EGP, such as the evolution on the Stock Exchange of the share prices and the research reports and financial analyses published by brokers and investment banks;
- 2. the inapplicability of certain methodologies effectively reduces the applicable methodologies for the valuation of the Set of Assets Demerged to the DCF Methodology only.
Valuation of the Set of Assets Demerged: summary of the results
Without prejudice to the considerations, assumptions and limitations described in the foregoing paragraphs, the following table summarizes the result obtained using the valuation methodologies indicated above for the purposes of the valuation of the Set of Assets Demerged.
Valuation methodologies used to appraise the Set of Assets Demerged
DCF Methodology 71 - 78%
Enel's Board of Directors, in light of the considerations developed in the foregoing section and following the valuation process and the detailed comparison of the results attained through the application of the various methodologiess used, with the support of the Advisors, determined that the value of the Set of Assets Demerged amounts to:
72.8% of EGP's equity value.
7. PROCEDURE FOR ASSIGNING THE ENEL SHARES TO EGP'S SHAREHOLDERS
The assignment to EGP's shareholders other than Enel of the newly issued shares of the Beneficiary Company, under a regime of dematerialization and through authorized intermediaries, starting on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, with the timing and procedures to be announced to the market through the publication of a special notice on the Demerged Company's website and in at least one national newspaper.
The newly issued Enel shares will be listed on the MTA like the shares of the Beneficiary Company already outstanding.
No charges will be imposed upon EGP's shareholders in connection with the exchange procedures.
A service will be made available to EGP's shareholders in order to allow for rounding to the immediately lower or higher number of Enel shares due upon the application of the Exchange Ratio, without any additional expenses, stamp duties or fees being charged. Alternatively, different procedures may be activated in order to ensure the overall successful outcome of the transaction.
Considering that, as already mentioned, the EGP shares are currently admitted to trading on the Spanish regulated markets and that the Enel shares assigned at the time of the exchange will not be admitted to trading on such markets, the Spanish Regulatory Authority (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has notified that, in line with the previous similar cases that have occurred on the Spanish markets, it is necessary to appoint a dedicated "connection/reference" intermediary (referred to as the "entidad de enlace"), in order to enable the shareholders who, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, will hold EGP shares admitted to trading on the above-mentioned Spanish markets (through the Spanish centralized management system, Iberclear) to sell on the MTA, during the month following the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Enel shares received in exchange, without any additional costs related to the sale on a foreign market. After the above-mentioned one-month period, the above-mentioned shareholders may purchase or sell the Enel shares in Italy on the MTA through authorized intermediaries, incurring the costs of the transaction.
7.1. Date of entitlement of the shares to be assigned to the shareholders of the Demerged Company
The Enel shares issued to service the Exchange Ratio will have regular entitlement.
7.2. Description of the rights related to the shares to be assigned to the shareholders of the Demerged Company
The Enel shares issued to service the Exchange Ratio will assign to their holders rights that are identical to the rights inherent in the Enel shares outstanding at the time of their issuance.
8. DATE ON WHICH THE EFFECTS OF THE DEMERGER WILL START
The start date of the civil law effects of the Demerger will correspond with the date of the last of the registrations envisaged under art. 2506-quater of the Italian Civil Code, or such other later date that may be indicated in the deed of Demerger ( "Date of Effect of the Demerger").
Starting on the same date, the transactions pertaining to the balance sheet elements and the legal relationships included within the Set of Assets Demerged assigned to the Beneficiary Company will be entered in the financial statement of the Beneficiary Company, with all related accounting and tax effects also starting on the same date.

The by-laws of the Beneficiary Company post-Demerger are attached to the Demerger Plan as Schedule D.
10. ASSESSMENTS ON THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND THE RIGHT OF SALE
10.1. Right of Withdrawal
Any shareholders of EGP who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger will have a Right of Withdrawal, pursuant to art. 2437, paragraph 1, letter a), of the Italian Civil Code, (the "Right of Withdrawal"), since Enel, the Beneficiary Company of the Demerger, has a clause in its corporate purpose that allows for the conduct of business operations that differ significantly from what is described in EGP's corporate purpose clause.
10.1.1. Liquidation Value
The Right of Withdrawal may be exercised at the unit settlement value for EGP shares, determined, pursuant to art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, exclusively with reference to the arithmetic average of closing prices of EGP shares on the MTA over the six months preceding the publication of the notice of call of EGP's shareholders' meeting, which is equal to Euro 1.780 for each EGP share (the "Liquidation Value").
10.1.2. Procedures for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal
In accordance with the provisions of art. 127-bis, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Finance Act, any person in whose favor, after the date indicated in art. 83-sexies, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Finance Act for the right to take part in EGP's shareholders'meeting called to approve the Demerger Plan (or, in other words, after December 29, 2015), but prior to the commencement of works at such Shareholders' Meeting, a registration in the relevant accounting records of EGP shares is made, will be deemed included among those who did not take part in the approve of the resolution and, therefore, will be entitled to exercise the Right of Withdrawal.
In accordance with art. 2437-bis of the Italian Civil Code, persons entitled to exercise the Right of Withdrawal may exercise such right, with respect to all or a portion of the shares held, through a registered letter which must be sent to EGP's registered office within fifteen calendar days from the date of registration of the related shareholders' meeting resolution.
Information on the procedures and deadlines for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal will be announced by EGP in accordance with the procedures provided under applicable laws and regulations in force. In accordance with art. 2437-bis, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, the Right of Withdrawal may not be exercised and, if already exercised, will be null and void if, within ninety days, EGP were to revoke the resolution justifying such exercise.
If one or more of EGP's shareholders were to exercise the Right of Withdrawal, the liquidation process will be carried out in accordance with art. 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code. In particular, the terms of the pre-empion offer that will be addressed to all of EGP's shareholders, will be announced in accordance with the procedures provided under the applicable legal framework, with the clarification in such regard that the related announcements/notices will be published in at least one national daily newspaper and on EGP's website www.enelgreenpower.com, and on the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com).
10.2. Right of Sale
EGP's shareholders who do not take part in the approval of the Demerger will be entitled to have their own EGP shares purchased by Enel pursuant to and for purposes of art. 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Right of Sale").
The Right of Sale may concern all or even only a portion of the EGP shares held by the shareholders of the Demerged Company who exercise the Right of Sale. The price per share of the EGP share will be equal to the Liquidation Value determined in accordance with art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, on the basis of the provisions of art. 2506-bis, paragraph 2, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Liquidation Value will be announced to the shareholders and the market through a specific press release viewable on EGP's website and through the publication of a notice on at least one national daily newspaper.
The Right of Sale may be exercised at the same terms and conditions for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal. In any case, the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal may not be exercised for the same share.
It should be noted in such regard that the process of liquidating the shares for which the Right of Sale is exercised will take place in the same context as the process of liquidating the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal is exercised, as governed by art. 2437-quater, of the Italian Civil Code.
* * * With reference to the process of liquidating EGP shares for which the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale has been exercised, Enel declares its intention to exercise, in full, its option right for the quota to which it is entitled, and to exercise its right of pre-emption on any EGP shares for which the option right has not been exercised in accordance with art. 2437-quater, third paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code.
The effect of the Right of Sale and of the Right of Withdrawal, and therefore the related liquidation are conditioned upon the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent and, in any case, the perfection of the Demerger.
11. CONDITION PRECEDENT
The effectiveness of the Demerger is conditioned upon the circumstance that the total liquidation of the EGP shares with respect to which the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale are validly exercised does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million/00) (the "Condition Precedent").
Enel and EGP will announce the data related to the satisfaction or the non-satisfaction of the Condition Precedent, through a notice published on their respective websites and in at least one national daily newspaper.
The Condition Precedent will be deemed nonetheless satisfied – even in the event that the above-mentioned limit is exceeded - if Enel, within 60 calendar days of the last registration with the Companies Register of Rome of the shareholders' meeting resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to proceed with the purchase of all of the shares for which the abovementioned rights have been exercised.
12 TAX IMPACTS OF THE DEMERGER ON ENEL AND EGP
For purposes of direct taxes and pursuant to art. 173, paragraph 1, of D.P.R. No. 917 of December 22, 1986, the (the "Tax Code" or "Tuir"), the Demerger is neutral from tax standpoint for the companies taking part in it and, therefore, does not give rise to either a realization or a distribution of capital gains or capital losses of the assets of the Demerged Company being assigned.
The balance sheet/capital elements of the Demerged Company to be assigned to the Beneficiary Company will maintain the values most recently assigned for tax purposes to the Demerged Company.
The so-called subjective positions of the Demerged Company and the related instrumental obligations will be assigned the Beneficiary Company and the Demerged Company on a pro-rata basis in proportion to their respective quotas transferred or maintained of the net shareholders' equity for accounting purposes, except in the case of subjective positions specifically or generally related to elements of the demerged assets which, as such, will follow/remain attached to such elements under their respective holders.
As regards the effects of the Demerger for the shareholders of the Demerged Company, the Demerger is neutral from a tax standpoint, since it does not constitute either a realization or distribution of capital gains or capital losses, and does not give rise to the attainment of revenues; as for the tax value of the shares of the Demerged Company held by shareholders other than Enel, it should be noted that according to the current opinion expressed by the Revenues Agency, such cost would not change as a result of the transaction and it would be attributed to the Enel shares acquired as a result of the transaction.
However, with reference to the shareholders of the Demerged Company who are not residents of Italy, we suggest that they carry out appropriate verifications on the tax regime in force in their respective countries of residence.
For all matters not expressly indicated herein, for purposes of income taxes, the provisions of art. 173 of the Tuir shall apply.
Demerger transactions are not specifically subject to the regional tax on productive activities ("IRAP"). However, as clarified by the Revenues Agency, for such purposes as well, a general principle of tax neutrality would apply, pursuant to which the Demerger does not give rise to any taxable element, or the automatic attribution of higher values entered on the financial statement as a result of such transaction.
For purposes of indirect taxation, the Transaction falls outside the scope of application of VAT pursuant to art. 2, paragraph 3, letter f), of D.P.R. No. 633 of October 26, 1972, and is subject to registry tax in a fixed amount pursuant to art. 4, letter b), first part, of the Rate attached to D.P.R. No. 131/1986.

Dear Shareholders,
this report illustrates, under the legal and economic point of view, the partial non proportional demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. ("Enel Green Power" or the "Demerged Company") in favor of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel" or the "Beneficiary Company"), describing the elements that compose the demerger plan approved by the Boards of Directors of Enel Green Power and Enel on November 17th, 2015 ("Demerger Plan"), in accordance with the provisions of Articles 2506-ter and 2501-quinquies of the Italian Civil Code and of Article 70, paragraph 2, of Regulation adopted by Consob resolution no. 11971 of May 14th, 1999, as subsequently amended ("Issuer's Regulation"), as well as the Scheme no. 1 of the Annex 3A of the Issuer's Regulation.
1. RECITALS
The transaction described in this report consists in a partial non proportional demerger of Enel Green Power in favor of the parent company Enel, pursuant to Article 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Demerger"), that provides for:
- the assignment by Enel Green Power in favor of Enel of the Set of Assets Demerged (as defined and described in detail under Section 5.1. below), essentially represented (i) by the totalitarian shareholding held by Enel Green Power in Enel Green Power International B.V., Dutch holding Company that holds shareholdings in companies operating in the renewable energy sector in North, Central and South America, Europe, South Africa and India, and (ii) assets, liabilities, contracts, legal relationships, related to such shareholding;
- the keeping by Enel Green Power of all the remaining assets different from those the belong to the Set of Assets Demerged (and therefore, essentially, the Italian assets and the remaining limited foreign shareholdings).
On the Date of Effect of the Demerger (as defined in Section 8 below), the quota of Enel Green Power's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged will be exchanged on the basis of the Exchange Ratio indicated in Section 6 below: the Enel shares issued to service the exchange ratio of the Demerger will be assigned to the shareholders of Enel Green Power on the basis the non-proportional assignation criterion indicated under Section 6 below. In light of such non-proportional assignation criterion, all the Enel Green Power shares held by shareholders other than Enel will be exchanged with Enel shares, while Enel will exchange only a portion of its shares held in Enel Green Power; such latter shares will be simultaneously cancelled pursuant the provision under Article 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, as cited in regard to the demerger in Article 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code, without proceeding with the assignation of the same shares. As a result, on the Date of Effect of the Merger: (i) the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital in the amount indicated in Section 6 below; (ii) all the Enel Green Power shares exchanged with Enel shares will be cancelled, with subsequent reduction of the share capital of the Demerged Company; and (iii) Enel will become the sole shareholder of Enel Green Power, while all the other Enel Green Power shareholders will become shareholders of Enel. For more information on the Exchange Ratio and on the non-proportionality of the Demerger please see Sections 4 and 6 below.
The effectiveness of the Demerger is subject to the completion of the corporate activities as well as to the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent (as defined in Section 11), consisting in the circumstance that the liquidation value of Enel Green Power shares in relation to which the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale (as defined in Section Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. below) are validly exercised oes not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred millions/00).
The Condition Precedent shall be deemed likewise satisfied - even in case of overtaking of the above mentioned limit - if Enel, within 60 calendar days from the last enrolment with the Companies' Register of Rome of the shareholders' meeting resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to Article 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to purchase all the shares in relation to which the above-mentioned rights have been exercised.
As widely illustrated below, the transaction is intended to realize a complete integration of the renewable energies sector within the Enel Group.
The two graphs below show the structure of the Enel Group before and after the implementation of the Demerger, assuming that: (a) the current ownership structure of Enel Green Power and Enel does not change until the implementation of the Demerger and (b) none of the shareholders of Enel Green Power exercises the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale.

On the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Enel Green Power shares will cease to be traded on the "Mercato Telematico Azionario" organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. ("MTA") and on the Spanish electronic trading system (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil, SIBE).

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESSES OF THE PARTICIPATING COMPANIES TO THE DEMERGER
3.1. Enel Green Power Business
Enel Green Power is the company of the Enel Group entirely dedicated to the development and management of the activities relating to the energy generation from renewable sources at the international level, active in Europe, in the Americas, in Africa and in Asia.
In particular, as at September 30th, 2015, Enel Green Power operates with 761 plants located in Europe, America, Africa and in Asia having an installed capacity of 10.6 GW, divided between wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric and biomass.
3.2. Enel Business
Enel works through its subsidiaries or otherwise affiliates, in particular in the energy sector, carrying out, in its role of holding company, several activities directly or indirectly related to such sector.
As at September 30th, 2015, the Enel Group works in over 30 Countries, in 4 continents, has generating plants (thermoelectric, hydroelectric, nuclear, geothermal, wind, solar and other renewable sources) with a net installed capacity of about 89 GW, and distributes electricity and gas on a network of approximately 1.9 million kilometers.
With 61 million worldwide users, Enel records the widest customer base in respect of its European competitors and is located among the main electricity companies in Europe, in terms of both installed capacity and reported EBITDA.
4. EXPLANATION OF THE DEMERGER AND REASONS OF THE SAME
4.1. Strategic and industrial reasons of the Demerger
Several phenomena are deeply changing the energy paradigm at the worldwide level: increase of electric request driven by the economic growth and the urbanization process in the emerging Countries, high volatility of the commodities prices, growing competitiveness of the renewable sources, development of new technologies, energy efficiency, greater attention and sensitivity to the environmental issues.
In this "world" the renewable energy's sector has assumed a more significant role, in light of the growing competitiveness of less mature technologies - wind and solar - triggered by the rapid technological progress, as well as of the contribution offered to the energy model in terms of environmental sustainability.
In order to pursue the opportunities offered by the renewable energy business, the big utilities incorporated companies completely dedicated to the development and management of renewable energy plants. In this framework, in 2008 Enel incorporated Enel Green Power, a corporate vehicle within which all the activities for the production of renewable energy have been concentrated, and listing such company on the Stock Exchange in 2010.
During the last years, many signs of change of that energy model have shown, initially triggered by the rapid large-scale development of renewable energy sources, with the consequent issues related to the necessity to adapt the networks. Also other circumstances have occurred, such as, among others, distributed production, energy efficiency, electric cars and the energy storage, which are more and more leading to a radical transformation of consumers' behaviors, that are progressively more active both as energy "producers" and as "managers" of their electric request. In addition to the above, there is a need to develop new technologies that allow the electrical system to evolve towards a pattern which better integrates the conventional production's sources and therefore programmable, and the renewable ones, sector that continues to be characterized by a globally high rate growth.
Such growth becomes evident mainly in two manners. On the one hand, in the context of the emerging markets (characterized by economic growth and a broad process of urbanization) renewables represent the fastest answer to the increase of electric energy request. On the other hand, also in the context of the mature markets there are opportunities for the development of renewables, supported by a process of gradual dismantling of conventional production capacity (which, for example, related to the coal plants) and the replacement with new renewable capacity, mainly from wind and solar sources, characterized by a rapid activation, contained risks of execution and competitive costs.
The increasing need to integrate the renewables and the traditional sources, the distribution systems and the market ("single integrated system"), is leading to a rapid modernization of the electricity network, through the digitalization and "smart meters", transforming the energy utilities as Enel from mere producers and distributors of energy to suppliers of services and system optimizers. This circumstance is leading to new business opportunities that the utilities will be ready to pursue only if they become global and integrated operators in the electrical system.
In this context, Enel Group is well positioned along the guidelines of the new model, being one of the few global operators in the relevant sector, one of the most diversified in terms of technology and having more than 60 million customers. Moreover, the Group is able to pursue the many opportunities of global growth, leveraging its high geographical diversification. In fact, the Group is present in all the geographic areas with significant growth prospects, at last in order of time the Asian continent, where the Group recently established a base with the entrance in the Indian renewables market.
In the last years, Enel Green Power achieved important operational and economic-financial results, reaching its growth and internationalization targets. In fact, from the listing date up to now, there has been a growth of 82.7% of installed renewable capacity, from 5.8GW to the current 10.6GW, and of 38% of EBITDA, from Euro 1.3 billion in 2010 (8% of Group's EBITDA) to Euro 1.8 billion expected in 2015 (12% of Group's EBITDA), followed by an international presence (expressed in percentage compared to the installed capacity) which increased from 54% in 2010 to the current approximately 70%.
In light of the substantial market opportunities and in line with the increasing focus on renewable energies, it is expected an increase of the investments in development of renewable energies for the next time span of plan, that should be around at the 50% of growth investments of the Enel Group.
The process of full integration of the renewable business is, therefore, consistent with the development strategy of the Enel Group and presents significant reasons, not only strategic (as said above), but also industrial and financial, offering opportunities in order to create value.
The industrial reasons follow, therefore, two main guidelines: the growth and the integration strictly speaking.
The first macro-guideline would permit a greater creation of value for the Group through the possible further investment acceleration and the implementation of the strategy of the Active Portfolio Management. In a context in which the capabilities demonstrated by Enel Green Power, both in the field of the development of plans, and in terms of their realization, exceed its investment capacity in a "stand-alone" view (to preserve the financial strength of the company) and in light of the financial capacity of the Enel Group, the full integration between Enel and Enel Green Power would allow the latter to accomplish additional growth plans in the business of renewables, not sustainable in the current structure. The investments acceleration would be realized in a possible greater allocation of capital to Enel Green Power of Euro 1.3 billion between 2018 and 2019, that would be used in development projects in emerging Countries.
The second macro-guideline of creation of value is the integration strictly speaking, which involved the creation of operational and management synergies, achievable through: the ability to pool together the business skills of both companies, with consequent cost efficiency; the possibility to jointly manage different production chains, with consequent risk reduction; the opportunity to take advantage of the Group's financial strength.
Another area of possible efficiency / optimization would be the reduction of the "merchant" risk in the Countries / markets in which both Enel and Enel Green Power are present, essentially linked to a vertical integration and consequent centralized management of the coverage of the volume production and of the related risk, and the optimization of the integrated maintenance plan of the renewable and conventional plants and a greater commercial competitiveness guaranteed by the synergic management of renewable assets with the conventional ones.
In the Enel Green Power's view, the Demerger will allow the Demerged Company to benefit of a reduction of costs and expenses (both in terms of management and in operational terms), as well as greater organizational and managerial flexibility, also as a result of the loss of the status of listed company. In particular, Enel Green Power will start a process of simplification of the governance in line with the objective of major focus on domestic business of renewable energies and subsequent minor complexity – and, so, more speed and dynamism – in the decision-making process, as well as exercise of the strategic, managerial and technical-operational control. Similarly, the rationalization of the functions and of the processes will allow, in any case, the structures and the functions of Enel Green Power to maintain its own high specialization (both in the production and market), in an harmonic manner and without operational discontinuity. On the other hand, the separation of the international business will allow Enel Green Power to concentrate the economic and financial resources of its core business in Italy.
4.2. Legal aspects of the Demerger
4.2.1. Description of the Demerger
In order to achieve the industrial purposes above-mentioned, the Boards of Directors of Enel Green Power and Enel held on November 17th, 2015, approved, pursuant to Article 2506-bis and Article 2506-ter of the Italian Civil Code, the Demerger Plan, that, as said, provides for the partial non-proportional Demerger of Enel Green Power in favor of its parent company Enel. The Demerger Plan has been drafted on the basis of the balance sheets of the participating company to the Demerger as at September 30th, 2015, drafted and approved – pursuant to and in accordance with Article 2501-quater of the Italian Civil Code, cited by Article 2506-ter, paragraph 1 with respect to the demerger, of the Italian Civil Code – by the same Board of Directors of Enel Green Power and Enel that have approved the Demerger Plan.
In connection with the foregoing, it should be noted that, for the purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio and the criterion of non-proportional assignation of shares in exchange (as further described in the following Section 6), the participating companies to the Demerger have recourse to primary independent financial advisors and of proven professional competence, and in particular:
- for Enel Green Power, Barclays and Mediobanca; and

Following the completion of the above activities will be drawn up the deed of Demerger.
As a result of the Demerger, the shares of Enel Green Power will cease to be traded on the MTA, as well as on the Spanish electronic trading system (Sistema de Interconexiòn Bursàtil, SIBE).
4.2.2. Profiles linked to the existence of a relationship of correlation between the Demergered Company and the Beneficiary Company
Pursuant to the regulation adopted by Consob resolution no. 17221 of March 12th, 2010 and amended with resolution no. 17389 of June 23rd, 2010 (the "RPT Regulation"), and to the procedure for related party transactions, approved by the Board of Directors of Enel Green Power on December 1st, 2010, and subsequently amended lastly on February 3rd, 2014 (the "RPT Procedure"), the Demerger constitutes for Enel Green Power a transaction of major importance with related party. In fact, Enel exercises a control on Enel Green Power pursuant to Article 2359 paragraph 1, no. 1 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 93 of the TUF. In light of the foregoing, the Board of Directors of Enel Green Power approved the Demerger Plan, after reasoned favorable opinion of the Related Party Transaction Committee of Enel Green Power on the interest of the Company (the latter) in the completion of the transaction, as well as the convenience and the substantial fairness of the relative conditions.
In particular, the Demerger was subject to the Related Party Transaction Committee of Enel Green Power (the "Related Party Transaction Committee") which has provided for its exam with the assistance of independent financial advisors Lazard and Prof. Enrico Laghi, as well as the independent legal advisor Prof. Agostino Gambino; these have been identified in light of their proven ability, professional competence and experience in similar transactions.
At the Committee's meetings, also the independent directors of Enel Green Power (Giovanni Battista Lombardo, Paola Muratorio e Luciana Tarozzi) have been invited to attend and, usually, were in attendance, in order to ensure a wide sharing of the evaluations and analyses of the Committee itself.
The Committee, pursuant to Article 8, paragraph 1, let. b) of the RPT Regulation, as well as pursuant to Article 6 of the RPT Procedure, has been involved in the negotiations and investigation phase, through a flow of information, in a timely, full and adequate manner, which has allowed the Committee to be constantly updated in relation to the development of the activities carried out. The information flows concerned, among others, the main terms and conditions of the transaction, the expected timing of its implementation, the evaluation procedure proposed, the reasons underlying the transaction, as well as the potential risks for Enel Green Power and its subsidiaries. In this context, the Related Party Transaction Committee exercised its right to ask questions and make comments, receiving prompt response to their requests and comments by the management involved in the transaction.
At the end of its activities, the Related Party Transactions Committee, taking into account, among others, the evaluative results carried out by the financial advisors appointed by the Committee, and in particular the fairness opinions issued by the same on the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, on November 16th, 2015 issued its reasoned favorable opinion on the interest of Enel Green Power in the completion of the transaction, as well as the convenience and the substantial fairness of the relative conditions, subsequently transmitted to the Board of Directors of Enel Green Power.
For a complete description of the followed procedure, as well as the activities carried out by the Related Party Transactions Committee and the contents of the opinion, please refers to the Information Document provided by Article 5 of the RPT Regulation, made available to the public at the registered office of Enel Green Power, in Rome, Viale Regina Margherita, no. 125, as well as on the website of the same (www.enelgreenpower.com) and on the authorized mechanism storage NIS-Storage (www.emarketstorage.com).
For completeness, please notes that, with regard to Enel, the Demerger, while being carried out with a related party, is exempt from the specific procedure for governing the transactions with related parties (adopted in accordance with RPT Regulation), because it is a transaction carried out by a subsidiary in which there are no significant interests of other related parties (pursuant to Article 14, paragraph 2, RPT Regulation and Article 13.3, lett. d), of the aforementioned procedure). In view of the foregoing, Enel's related party transactions committee was not involved in the approval of the Demerger Plan.
5. DESCRIPTION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO ASSIGNMENT TO THE BENEFICIARY COMPANY
5.1. Assets and liabilities subject to assignment
As said, the Demerger will be approved on the base of the balance sheets of Enel Green Power and Enel as at September 30th, 2015, attached to the Demerger Plan.
The Demerger will give rise to the assignment of almost all the Enel Green Power's foreign shareholdings and financial assets of Enel Green Power in favor of Enel, while Enel Green Power will keep its Italian assets and the remaining foreign shareholdings.
In particular, the related balance sheet elements and legal relationships which, as a result of the Demerger, will be assigned to the Beneficiary Company are the followings (the "Set of Assets Demerged"):
- 1) totalitarian shareholding in the company organized and existing under Dutch law, Enel Green Power International B.V.;
- 2) short-term financial receivable owed by the company Enel Green Power North America Ltd. in connection with a financial restructuring transaction implemented in 2014; the exchange rate risk related to such financial receivable is hedged through a currency forward contract;
-
3) legal relationships related to the long-term credit line with Enel Green Power International B.V.;
-
4) the legal relationship with the six employees that are part of the business unit comprising the Set of Assets Demerged and the consequent asset-side liability-side balance sheet items referring to the same;
- 5) guarantees granted by Enel Green Power in the interest of Enel Green Power International B.V. and its subsidiaries related to the hedging of certain number of commitments undertaken.
The detailed description of the assets and liabilities and related legal relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged that will remain assigned to the Beneficiary Company for the Demerger effect is given in the Annex G of the Demerger Plan.
In any case, if the assignment of assets and liabilities, rights and obligations cannot be deduced from the Demerger Plan, the same elements will be considered assigned to the Beneficiary Company if they are related to the Set of Assets Demerged.
It should also be noted that any the contingent assets and contingent liabilities that may be found after the Date of Effect of the Demerger will be respectively in advantage or charged to the Beneficiary Company, on condition that they are related to the Set of Assets Demerged.
The composition of shareholders' equity of Enel and Enel Green Power, as resulted following the Demerger, is shown in provided charts (respectively called "Composition of the equity of the Demerged Company before and after the Demerger" and "Composition of the equity of the Beneficiary Company before and after the Demerger") attached in the Annexes H and I to the Demerger Plan.
It should be finally noted that:
- in the context of the Set of Assets Demerged are included the legal relationships relating thereto, including the working relationship with six resources, as detailed in the Demerger Plan;
- the assets and liabilities and legal relationships included in the Set of Assets Demerged will be those actually existing on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, taking into account the changes then taking place between the date of the balance sheet as at September 30th, 2015 of the Demerged Company and the Date of Effect of the Demerger, as a result of the operative dynamics corporate. Therefore, any differences in the consistency of these elements and relationships object of the Set of Assets Demerged, between the September 30th, 2015 and the Date of Effect of the Demerger, will determine the entry of a lot of credit/debit between the Demerged Company and the Beneficiary Company.
5.2. Changes in Enel Green Power assets, the capital increase of Enel
Changes in the composition of the Net Worth of the Demerged Company Enel Green Power deriving from the Demerger are due to:
-
decrease of the share capital of Euro 728,000,000 (seven hundred twenty-eight million/00), corresponding to the nominal value of the canceled shares;
-
decrease of Other reserves, including the portion corresponding to the Legal Reserve attributable to the decrease of the share capital, of Euro 2,936,162,218 (two billion nine hundred sixty two thousand two hundred eighteen/00);
-
decrease of Other reserves of Euro 6,784,000 (six million seven hundred eighty-four thousand/00), corresponding to the estimated burdens qualified as incidental costs directly attributable to the Demerger, net of the relevant tax effect.
The following table shows the composition of the Net Worth of Enel Green Power resulting from the Demerger.
| Profits/(Losses) | Profit for the | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share Capital | Other Reserves | Accrued | period | Total |
| Net Worth before-Demerger | 1,000,000,000 | 4,637,089,228 | 1,095,239,874 | 139,667,460 | 6,871,996,562 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shares cancellation | (728,000,000) (2,936,162,218) | - | - (3,664,162,218) | ||
| Detection of incidental costs relating to the Demerger | - | (6,784,000) | - | - | (6,784,000) |

Changes in the composition of the Net Worth of the Beneficiary Company deriving from the Demerger, assuming that none of the shareholders of Enel Green Power will exercise the Right of Withdrawal or the Right of Sale, are due to:
-

6. FIXED EXCHANGE RATIO AND CRITERIA FOR ITS DETERMINATION
6.1. The assignation criterion and the exchange ratio
Being a demerger with non-proportional assignation , since to the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the quota of Enel Green Power's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged, comprised by no. 3,640,000,000 shares in Enel Green Power (the "Shares in Enel Green Power exchanged"), will be exchanged using the Exchange Ratio indicated below, under the following proportions:
(i) Enel Green Power's shareholders other than Enel will exchange all of the shares held in Enel Green Power;
(ii) Enel, on the other hand, will exchange only a portion of its shares held in Enel Green Power, corresponding to the number of Enel Green Power Shares in exchanged, after deducted the Enel Green Power shares exchanged by shareholders of Enel Green Power other than Enel.
As pointed out in the Demerger Plan, for purposes of the determination of the above-mentioned number of shares in Enel Green Power referring to the Set of Assets Demerged pertaining, respectively, to Enel and to the shareholders of Enel Green Power other than Enel and, therefore, the criterion for the non-proportional assignment of the newly issued shares in the Beneficiary Company to the shareholders of the Demerged Company, the Boards of Directors of the participating companies to the Demerger, after examining the opinions of the respective financial advisors above indicated and with the support of these latter, have attributed to such Set of Assets Demerged a value corresponding to 72.8 percent of the entire value of Enel Green Power as a whole prior to the Demerger.
The Boards of Directors of Enel Green Power and Enel on November 17th, 2015, after examining the opinions of the respective financial advisors above indicated and with the support of these latter – and, with regard to the Demerged Company, noted the reasoned favorable opinion of the Related Party Transactions Committee - approved the following exchange ratio: no. 0.486 newly issued Enel shares for each Share of Enel Green Power in exchange (the "Exchange Ratio").
There are no cash adjustments.
As a result, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital by issuing a maximum of no. 1,769,040,000 shares – with regular entitlement and nominal value of Euro 1.00 each – in favor of the shareholders of the Demerged Company on the basis to the Exchange Ratio. The amount of the capital increase of Enel to service the Exchange Ratio shall not be exceed the value attributed to the Set of Assets Demerged by the appraisal/estimate report of the expert drafted in compliance with Article 2506-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code.
In particular:
- a) to the shareholders of Enel Green Power other than Enel will be assigned through application of the Exchange Ratio – a total of up to a maximum of 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of a total of 1,585,573,483 Enel Green Power shares held by such shareholders, while
- b) in favor of Enel will be assigned with simultaneous cancellation of the same pursuant to the prohibition provided under Article 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, as cited in Article 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code – a total of 998,451,288 Enel shares, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of no. 2,054,426,517 Enel Green Power shares held by it.
Considered the foregoing, on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the share capital of the Beneficiary Company will be increased up to a maximum of no. 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, all addressed to the shareholders of the Demerged Company other than Enel.
The number of Enel shares assigned may change depending upon the number of Enel Green Power shares acquired by Enel through the procedure involving the offer under an option and pre-emption of the Enel Green Power shares that may be subject to the Sale and Withdrawal Rights (indicated below in Section 10).
Since, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, all the above-mentioned 3,640,000,000 Enel Green Power shares representing the portion of Enel Green Power's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged subject to the exchange will be cancelled in their entirety, on such date the Demerged Company's share capital will be reduced from its current total amount of Euro 1,000,000,000.00 (one billion/00) to a total of Euro 272,000,000 (two hundred seventy two million/00), divided into no. 1,360,000,000 (one billion three hundred sixty million) ordinary shares with nominal value of Euro 0.20 (zero/20) each.
As a result of the exchange by Enel Green Power shareholders other than Enel of all shares held by them in Enel Green Power, and the consequent cancellation of the same, Enel – as a result of the Demerger – will be the sole shareholder of the Demerged Company.
The Exchange Ratio will be subject to a fairness opinion by one or more independent experts pursuant to Article 2501-sexies of the Italian Civil Code, as referred to by Article 2506-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code.
6.2. Valuation methodologies used to determine the Exchange Ratio and the value of the Assets Demerged
For the purpose of the valuation analysis aimed at determining the Exchange Ratio, the Board of Directors, availed itself, as specified above, of the support of the independent financial advisors Mediobanca and Barclays. The Board of Directors of Enel Green Power has acknowledged and adopted, in order to determine such Exchange Ratio, the valuation methodologies used by the aforementioned advisors.
In particular, on November 17th 2015, the advisors provided to the Board of Directors of Enel Green Power their fairness opinions concerning the fairness, from the financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio. The fairness opinions will be attached to the information document that will be published pursuant to Article 70, paragraph 6, of the Issuers' Regulation and in accordance with the Annex 3B of the Issuers' Regulation, within the applicable terms.
The main assumption of the valuations made has been the identification of the relative and comparable economic values to be used in order to determine the Exchange Ratio. Therefore, priority was given to the consistency and comparability of each of the methodologies adopted, rather than to the absolute values of the companies on a stand-alone basis. In order to ensure the valuation consistency, the uniformity of the analysis and valuation criteria of the economic value of the companies participating to the Demerger was taken into account, considering also the specific features of each of such companies, and the circumstance that both of them are companies whose shares are listed in regulated markets. It has to be noted that the approach used has not necessarily triggered the use of the same valuation methodologies for Enel Green Power and Enel, nor the attribution, for a given valuation methodology, of the same relevance for the purposes of evaluating both the companies; rather, such approach consisted of the adoption of criteria and methodologies based on the same valuation rationale and deemed the most appropriate in order to propose comparable values for the determination of the Exchange Ratio, taken into account, in any case, the differences between the two companies . The methodologies chosen, on the other hand, shall not be considered individually but shall be treated as part of a sole valuation process.
The valuations have been made with the purpose of providing a comparative estimate of the value of Enel Green Power and Enel. They shall therefore be interpreted exclusively in relative terms and as referring only to the Demerger and they do not express, in any manner whatsoever, absolute values of any of the companies participating to the Demerger, nor they may be considered as representative of current, estimated or future market prices.
The valuations of the companies participating to the Demerger have been carried out on a stand-alone perspective, i.e. on the basis of business plans separately elaborated by Enel Green Power and Enel, irrespective of the outcome of the transaction.
In light of the modalities and timeline foreseen with respect to the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal and of the Right of Sale, and taken into account that it is not possible to assess their future economic impact, such rights - that may be exercised by Enel Green Power shareholders not concurring to the approval of the Demerger - were not considered.
Reference date and documentation used
The reference date for the valuations made in order to determine the Exchange Ratio is the date of this report, based on the assumption that, for each of the companies participating to the Demerger, no events, deeds or acts able to significantly alter the accounting, economic and financial position of the companies occurred in the period included between the most recent available individual and consolidated accounts and the date hereof.
The documentation utilized for the purpose of determining the Exchange Ratio consists of the following for Enel Green Power and Enel:
- (a) Enel Green Power and Enel statutory and consolidated financial statements for FY 2014;
- (b) Enel Green Power and Enel consolidated interim and quarterly financial statements as at June 30th, 2015 and September 30th, 2015;

- (d) presentation of Enel 2016-2020 Business Plan dated November 3rd, 2015 and presentation of Enel 2016-2020 Business Plan approved by the Board of Directors of Enel on November 12th, 2015 (jointly, the "Enel Business Plan");
- (e) projections prepared by the management of Enel Green Power and Enel for the 2016–2020 period for the key capital, earnings/financial and operating indicators of the respective groups (including splits for the main divisions/geographies);
- (f) projections prepared by the management of Enel Green Power and Enel for the key capital, earnings/financial and operating indicators of the respective groups (including splits for the main divisions/geographies) for FY 2015 ("pre-closing");
- (g) long-term earnings/financial and operating projections prepared by the management of Enel Green Power and Enel for the years subsequent to the period covered by the respective Business Plans;
- (h) data on net debt and other equity items as at September 30th, 2015 used to estimate the value of the economic capital, starting from the Enterprise Value ("bridge-to-equity"), including the allocation of such items among geographies and business units;
- (i) information regarding the number of Enel Green Power and Enel shares as at the date of this report;
- (j) Enel Green Power and Enel stock market performance;
- (k) equity research and financial analysis regarding Enel Green Power and Enel published by brokers and investment banks.
Other information available in the public domain has also been used, such as:
- research, financial statements and analysis on companies operating in the energy and renewable energies sectors; and
- the terms and stock market performances of select companies involved in precedent transactions (in particular EDF / EDF Énergie Nouvelles and Iberdrola / Iberdrola Renovables) deemed to be comparable to those under review, in the sense that they derive from the integration between companies operating in
the renewable energies sector and their respective parent companies with diversified activities in the energy sector.
Limits of the analysis and difficulties in the valuation
The conclusions of the valuation process followed should in any case be considered in the light of certain limitations and difficulties which are summarized below:
- 1. the pre-closing data, the estimates and the earnings / financial projections used for the valuations reflect, by their nature, a degree of uncertainty with reference to the actual predictability of the operating and earnings performance, due amongst other things to potential changes in the reference scenario;
- 2. the high volatility of the current situation of financial markets, which is liable to change significantly with potential impact on some of the parameters used in the valuation, such as (without limitation), those used to calculate the WACC;
- 3. the "sum of the parts" approach used in the Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") methodology required a complex allocation of certain earnings, financial and capital ratios to the individual parts being valued;
- 4. the trading volumes observed for Enel and Enel Green Power reflect different degrees of liquidity, making the market prices methodology not entirely homogeneous;
- 5. within the brokers' target prices methodology, reports published prior to the approval of the new Enel Green Power and Enel Business Plans were taken into consideration, and the estimates and expectations included in such reports might differ, even significantly, from those contained in the Business Plans recently approved by the respective Boards of Directors;
- 6. the methodologies based on trading multiples or precedent transactions' multiples have not been considered relevant, due to the limited comparability of the companies involved in the transaction driven by differences in the regulatory scenario, in the duration and nature of the incentives, in the different geographical and technological mix, and in the amount of projects under development compared to the capacity already installed.
Description of the valuation methodologies adopted
The valuation methodologies adopted take into account the best Italian and international practice in transactions of this kind, in view of the specific operating and business characteristics of Enel Green Power and Enel. In this particular case, the following have been identified as the principal valuation methodologies:
- discounted cash flow methodology, applying the "Sum of the Parts" approach, and
- the market prices methodology, considering, for Enel Green Power only, also the premia paid in precedent transactions in the renewable energies sector.
The analysis of the exchange ratios implied in the target prices published by financial analysts on Enel Green Power and Enel has been used as a control methodology.
Discounted cash flow methodology
The methodology in exam, also known as DCF, determines the value of a company or of an asset as a whole based on its capacity to generate cash flows.
This valuation methodology has been adopted in order to capture the specific characteristics of Enel Green Power and Enel in terms of profitability, growth, risk profile and capital structure.
The DCF methodology has been applied based on the "sum of the parts" approach, that is the value of each of the participating companies to the Demerger has been calculated as the sum of the values of each of their individual parts, considered as economic entities able to be valued on a stand-alone basis.
In particular, such methodology is based on the assumption that the value of a company or of an asset is equal to the present value of the cash flows that are expected to be generated in the future. The value of the economic capital of a company or an asset is therefore equal to the sum of the present value of (i) the expected cash flows, and (ii) the terminal value of the company or the asset, net of (iii) the net financial debt, minority interests and any further adjustments.
$$
W = \sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{FC_t}{(1 + WACC)^t} + \frac{VT}{(1 + WACC)^n} - DF_{t0}
$$
Where:
W = value of the economic capital FCt = yearly cash flow at year t VT = terminal value DFt0 = net financial debt, minority interests and other adjustments at the year t=0 N = number of periods of projections considered WACC = weighted average cost of capital
The terminal value represents the value of the company or of the asset under valuation at the end of the periods of projections considered.
In calculating the terminal value, in order to capture the specific characteristics of the asset being valued (for instance, in terms of geography, technology and regulatory framework), different methodologies have been adopted such as the perpetuity growth rate, the "annuity" (growth assumed for a limited number of years) and the reference to the Regulated Asset Base (in case of regulated activities).
The terminal value deriving from the above calculation is considered as an additional cash flow and, therefore, it is discounted at the weighted average cost of capital as all other cash flows.
The weighted average cost of capital represents the weighted average (on the basis of the capital structure of the company or of the asset) of the cost of the financing sources utilized (equity and debt net of tax effects):
$$
WACC\,=\,Kd(1-t)\frac{D}{D+E}+Ke\frac{E}{D+E}
$$
Where: Kd = cost of debt Ke = cost of equity D = debt E = equity t = marginal tax rate
In particular, the cost of debt used represents the long term cost of debt applicable to companies or assets which present a similar risk profile, net of tax effects. The cost of equity reflects the return on equity expected by an investor, taking into account the risk profile of the investment, calculated according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, through the following formula:
$$
K_{\epsilon} = R_f + \beta (R_m - R_f)
$$
Where:
Rf = expected return on risk-free assets = coefficient that measures the correlation between the expected returns from the considered investment and the expected return of the reference equity index Rm = expected return of the reference equity index (Rm – Rf) = extra return expected from the reference equity index compared to the return of risk free assets
In the calculation of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the used parameters have been identified specifically for each country and asset class (i.e. electricity generation, distribution and retail) depending on the characteristics of the activities being valued.
Market Prices
Market prices allow identifying the value of the equity of a company based on the value attributed by the stock market in which the company's shares are traded.
Such methodology consists in valuing the shares of the company on the basis of the market price at a certain date or of the average of market prices registered in the stock market where the shares are traded, during certain periods of time.
In particular, the choice of the time period on which the average of market prices are calculated shall reflect a balance between the mitigation of potential short time volatility effects (that would suggest to consider longer time horizons) and the necessity to reflect recent conditions of the market and of the company being valued (that would suggest to consider more recent market prices). In addition, the period of time considered should include exclusively market prices which are unaffected from press rumors on the potential transaction or from other information that could have a disturbing effect ("unaffected"). In this regard, both for Enel and Enel Green Power, market prices after October 26th, 2015, that is the latest date prior to the joint press release in which both companies – after press rumors - informed the market about a potential integration of Enel Green Power's operations in Enel, have not been considered.
In this case, the ratio between market prices of Enel Green Power and Enel allows, therefore, to derive an implied Exchange Ratio, as a function of market prices observed during the different time horizons considered.
The application of such methodology has allowed identifying a minimum and maximum market price both for Enel Green Power and Enel in the last twelve months prior to October 26th, 2015.
With reference to Enel Green Power only, in the context of the market prices analysis, premia on market prices of selected precedent transactions have been taken into consideration (in particular, EDF / EDF Energie Nouvelles and Iberdrola / Iberdrola Renovables) deemed to be comparable to the transaction under review, as they refer to companies operating in the renewable energies sector with their respective parent companies having diversified activities in the energy sector. The premia observed in such precedent transactions have been applied to the unaffected market prices during certain time horizons, resulting in an implied market price range for Enel Green Power that has been compared to the closing market price of Enel as of October 26th, 2015, in order to obtain an exchange ratio range.
Analysis on the target prices of Enel Green Power and Enel shares published by financial analysts on
Such methodology relies on the analysis of Target Prices published by research analysts covering both Enel Green Power and Enel. As for the market prices, the results of such methodology arise from a process which is different from the traditional valuation methods, which are based on explicit assumptions regarding future cash flows, timing and riskiness of such cash flows, as well as on the current and projected capital structure. However, they represent an indication of the value of companies, whose shares are listed, completing the sample of reference valuation methodologies. The observation of Target Prices of Enel and Enel Green Power published by research analysts allow to obtain, for each broker considered, an implied exchange ratio.
Consistently with market prices methodology described above, both for Enel and Enel Green Power, research reports published after October 26th, 2015 have not been taken into consideration.
Summary of results
On the basis of the considerations and the limits described above, the table below reports the results of the different valuation methodologies used to calculate the Exchange Ratio:
Calculation of the Exchange Ratio
| Valuation Methodology | Exchange Ratio | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Maximum | ||
| Discounted Cash Flows | 0.37x | 0.54x | |
| Market Prices | 0.38x | 0.51x | |
| Market Prices with Precedent Transactions' Premia | 0.47x | 0.52x | |
| Brokers' Target Prices | 0.28x | 0.57x |
The Board of Directors of Enel Green Power, taking into consideration the considerations above as well as the valuation process adopted, has determined the following Exchange Ratio:
0.486 Enel shares with a nominal value of Euro 1.00
for each Enel Green Power share with a nominal value of Euro 0.20.

Valuation methodologies used to determine the value of the equity of the Set of Assets Demerged and the ratio between the value of the equity of Set of Assets Demerged and Enel Green Power (before-demerger)
In determining the value of the equity of the Set of Assets Demerged, given the non-listed nature of the entity and the need to indicate (in percentage terms) the relative value compared to the equity value of Enel Green Power before-demerger, with the purpose to ensure consistency between the criteria used, only the discount cash flow methodology has been used, applying a "sum of the parts" approach. This same methodology, when determining the relative valuation compared to Enel Green Power (before-demerger), has been used also for this latter.
For a detailed description of such methodology, also known as DCF, please refers to the previously detailed.
Reference date and documentation used
For what concerns the reference date, the same considerations expressed above on the Exchange Ratio apply.
With regards to the valuation of Set of Assets Demerged, the following documentation has been utilized:
- 1. Detailed information prepared by the management of Enel Green Power for the 2016–2020 period for the key capital, earnings/financial and operating indicators of the Set of Assets Demerged;
- 2. Detailed information prepared by the management of Enel Green Power for the key capital, earnings/financial and operating indicators of the Set of Assets Demerged for FY 2015 ("preclosing");
- 3. long-term earnings/financial and operating projections prepared by the management of Enel Green Power for the years subsequent to the period covered by the Enel Green Power Business Plan;
- 4. data on net debt and other balance sheet items as of September 30th, 2015 used to estimate the value of the equity starting from the Enterprise Value ("bridge-to-equity"), including the amount of net debt to be transferred from Enel Green Power to the Set of Assets Demerged, and the allocation among the different activities being valued.
Limits of the analysis and difficulties in the valuation
In addition to the points 1-3 indicated as limits with regard to the valuation of the Exchange Ratio, we highlight also the non-listed nature of the Set of Assets Demerged, that has imposed certain limitations to the valuation exercise, excluding the possibility to rely upon certain methodologies typically used for entities listed in regulated markets (as, for example, the methodology of market prices or the analysis of target prices of research analysts).
Summary of results
On the base of the considerations and the limits previously outlined, we report below the result obtained by the application of the exclusive above identified valuation methodology for the purpose of determination the value of the equity of the Set of Assets Demerged and the percentage ratio between the value of the Set of Assets Demerged and Enel Green Power (before-demerger).
| Definition of the percentage ratio between the value of the | Percentage Ratio | |
|---|---|---|
| equity of the Set of Assets Demerged and of Enel Green | ||
| Power (before-demerger) | Minimum | Maximum |
| Discounted cash flows | 68% | 75% |
|---|---|---|
| ----------------------- | ----- | ----- |
The Board of Directors of Enel Green Power, in light of the considerations above as well as the valuation methodologies adopted, has determined the percentage value of the equity of the Set of Assets Demerged in relation to Enel Green Power (before-demerger) as follows:
72.8% of the value of the equity of Enel Green Power (before-demerger).
7. ASSIGNMENT MODALITIES OF ENEL SHARES TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF ENEL GREEN POWER
The assignment to Enel Green Power's shareholders other than Enel of the newly issued shares in the Beneficiary Company will take place, under a regime of dematerialization and through authorized intermediaries, starting from the Date of Effect of the Demerger, in accordance with the timetable and the procedures to be announced to the market through the publication of a specific notice on the Demerged Company's website and in at least one national daily newspaper.
The newly issued Enel shares will be listed on the MTA like the shares in the Beneficiary Company already outstanding.
No costs will be imposed upon Enel Green Power's shareholders in connection with the exchange transactions
It will be made available to the shareholders of Enel Green Power a service to allow you to round off the unit immediately above or below the number of Enel shares assigned pursuant the Exchange Ratio, without charges, stamp duties or commissions. Alternatively, different activities may be started in order to ensure the overall positive result of the transaction.
Considering that, as already mentioned, the Enel Green Power shares are currently admitted to trading on the Spanish regulated markets and that the Enel shares assigned at the time of the exchange will not be admitted to trading on such markets, the Spanish Regulatory Authority (Comisión Nacional of the Mercado de Valores) has notified that, in line with the previous similar cases that have occurred on the Spanish markets, it is necessary to appoint a dedicated "connection/reference" intermediary (referred to as the "entidad de enlace"), in order to enable the shareholders who, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, will hold shares of Enel Green Power admitted to trading on the above-mentioned Spanish markets (through the Spanish centralized management/administration system, Iberclear) to sell on the MTA, during the month following the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Enel shares received in exchange, without any additional costs related to the sale on a foreign market. After the above-mentioned one-month period, the above-mentioned shareholders may purchase or sell the shares of Enel in Italy on the MTA through authorized intermediaries, incurring the costs of the transaction.
7.1. Entitlement date of the shares that will be assigned to the shareholders of the Demerged Company
The shares issued by Enel to service the Exchange Ratio will have regular entitlement.
7.2. Description of the rights linked to the shares that will be assigned to the shareholders of the Demerged Company
The shares issued by Enel to service the Exchange Ratio will grant the same dividend rights pertaining to the other shares of the Beneficiary Company already issued as at the Date of Effect of the Demerger.
8. STARTING DATE OF THE EFFECTS OF THE DEMERGER
The effective date of civil law effects of the Demerger will correspond to the last of the registrations required by Article 2506-quater of the Italian Civil Code, or from the possible later date that may be indicated in in the deed of Demerger (the "Date of Effect of the Demerger").
Starting from the same date, the transactions pertaining to the balance sheet elements and the legal relationship included in the Set of Assets Demerged assigned to the Beneficiary Company will be entered in the financial statement of the Beneficiary Company, with all related accounting and tax effects also starting on the same date.
9. THE COMPANIES AS A RESULT OF THE DEMERGER

10. VALUATIONS REGARDING THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND THE RIGHT OF SALE
10.1. Right of Withdrawal
Enel Green Power's shareholders which not supporting the approval of the Demerger will be granted to the right of withdrawal pursuant to Article 2437, paragraph 1, lett. a), of the Italian Civil Code, ("Right of Sale"), since Enel, the beneficiary company of the Demerger, has a clause of its corporate purpose that allows for the conduct of business that differs significantly from that described in Enel Green Power's corporate purpose clause.
10.1.1. Liquidation Value
The Right of Withdrawal may be exercised for a net liquidation value of the Enel Green Power share determined, under art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, only referring to the arithmetic average of the closing price of the Enel Green Power share over the six months preceding the publication of the notice of the call of Enel Green Power's Shareholders' Meeting (the "Liquidation Value"). The Liquidation Value has been determined in Euro 1.780 for each share.
10.1.2. Modalities for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal
In accordance with Article 127-bis, paragraph 2, of the TUF, any person whose registration on the intermediary's account has been effected on a date subsequent to the date specified under Article 83-sexies, paragraph 2, of the TUF as record date relevant for the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting of Enel Green Power called to approve the Demerger Plan (i.e. after December 29th, 2015), but before the opening of such Shareholders' Meeting, will be deemed not concurring to the approval of the resolution and, therefore, will be entitled to exercise the Right of Withdrawal.
Under Article 2437-bis of the Italian Civil Code, the subjects authorized to the exercise the Right of Withdrawal may exercise such right, for whole or part of the shares held, through registered letter (the "Declaration of Withdrawal") to be sent to the registered office of Enel Green Power within fifteen calendar days from the date of registration of the shareholder's resolution.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 127-bis of the TUF, the withdrawing shareholder shall send to the Company, through the same modalities provided for the Declaration of Withdrawal and within the deadline provided by law, the relevant communication issued by an authorized intermediary certifying that (i) the ownership of the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal may be exercised, as of the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Demerger, and (ii) the ownership of the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal may be exercised as of the date of the Declaration of Withdrawal.
The Declaration of Withdrawal shall contain the following information:
- The details of the withdrawing shareholder, included the tax code;
- The domicile of the withdrawing shareholder for the communications relating to the liquidation process of the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal is exercised, including the phone number and the e-mail address;
- The number of shares for which the Right of Withdrawal is exercised;
- The IBAN code of the bank account on which the liquidation value of the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal is exercised shall be credited.
The Declaration of Withdrawal shall also indicate the intermediary on whose accounts the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal are deposited and the certification that such shares are free of any pledge or liens or other encumbrances in favor of third parties. If the shares for which the Right of Withdrawal is exercised are pledged or subject to other liens or encumbrances in favor of third parties, the withdrawing shareholder shall also attach a declaration of the pledgee - or of the person in favor of which the burden is granted – through which such person provides its irrevocable consent and unconditional release of the shares from the pledge and/or encumbrance and to the relevant liquidation in accordance with the instructions of the withdrawing shareholder.
The information relating to the terms and modalities provided in order to exercise the Right of Withdrawal will be published by Enel Green Power in accordance with the applicable provisions of law. Pursuant to Article 2437-bis, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, the Right of Withdrawal cannot be exercised, and if already exercised, will be ineffective if, within 90 days, Enel Green Power should revoke the relevant resolution giving rise to the Right of Withdrawal.
In the event that, should one or more shareholders of Enel Green Power exercise the Right of Withdrawal, the liquidation process will carry out in accordance with Article 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code. In particular, the terms of the offer in option and in pre-emption, that will be referred to all shareholders of Enel Green Power, will be announced in the modalities provided by the law in force, specifying in this regard that the relevant notices will be published in at least one daily national newspaper, on the website of Enel Green Power www.enelgreenpower.com, as well as on the authorized mechanism storage NIS-Storage (www.emarketstorage.com).
10.2. Right of Sale
Enel Green Power's shareholders who do not support the approval of the Demerger will be entitled to have their own EGP shares purchased by Enel pursuant to and for purposes of art. 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Right of Sale").
The Right of Sale may concern whole or even only a portion of the Enel Green Power shares held by the shareholders of the Demerged Company who exercise the Right of Sale; the price per share of the Enel Green Power share will be equal to the Liquidation Value determined under art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, in accordance with Article 2506-bis, paragraph 2, second period, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Liquidation Value will be announced to the shareholders and the market through a specific press release viewable on Enel Green Power's website and through the publication of a notice on at least one national daily newspaper.
The Right of Sale may be exercised under the same terms and conditions for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal. In any case, the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal could not be exercised for the same share.
Please note in this regard that the process of liquidation of the shares for which the Right of Sale is exercised will take place, in a single context to the process of liquidation of the shares for which were to be exercised the Right of Withdrawal, in accordance with Article 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code.
* * *
In regard to the process of liquidation of the shares of Enel Green Power subject to the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal, Enel declared its intention to exercise integrally the right of option for the quota concerning the competence as well as to exercise the right of pre-emption on the Enel Green Power shares that eventually have not been sold following the offer under option and pre-emption pursuant Article 2437 quater, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code.
The effectiveness of the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal, and therefore the relevant liquidation, are subject to the taken place of the Condition Precedent and, in any way, to the completion of the Demerger.
11. THE CONDITION PRECEDENT
The effect of the Demerger is conditioned upon the circumstance that the total liquidation value of the Enel Green Power shares in connection with which is validly exercised the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million/00) (the "Condition Precedent").
Enel and Enel Green Power will announce the data relating to the occurrence or the non-fulfillment of the Condition Precedent, through the publication of a specific notice on the respective websites and in at least one national daily newspaper.
The Condition Precedent shall be deemed likewise satisfied – even in case of the excess of the limits above indicated - if Enel, within 60 calendar days from the registration with the Companies' Register of Rome of the shareholders' meetings resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to Article 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to purchase all of the shares for which the above-mentioned rights have been exercised.
12. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DEMERGER ON ENEL AND ENEL GREEN POWER
For the purposes of direct taxation and in accordance with Article 173, paragraph 1, of the Presidential Decree no. 917 December 22nd, 1986 ("Tuir"), the Demerger is a transaction neutral, under a tax perspective, for both the companies involved, and, therefore, does not give rise to either realization or distribution of capital gains or losses on the Set of the Demerged Assets.
The Set of the Demerged Assets assigned to the Beneficiary Company will retain the last tax values existing in the Demerged Company's accounts.
The so called personal tax positions of the Demerged Company and the relevant instrumental commitments will be assigned to the Beneficiary Company and to the Demerged Company in proportion of the respective quotas of equity transferred or retained, except in case of personal tax positions linked specifically to the Set of the Demerged Assets and that, as such, will follow these assets to the respective owners.
With reference to the effects of the Demerger for the shareholders of the Demerged Company, the Demerger is tax-neutral, because it does not constitute either a realization or distribution of gains or losses, nor involves the achievement of revenues; with respect instead to the tax value of the shares of the Demerged Company for the shareholders of the same other than Enel, it is highlighted that, in accordance with the current interpretive position expressed by the "Agenzia delle Entrate", said cost would not change as a result of the transaction and it would be attributed to the Enel securities acquired as a result of the transaction.
However, with reference to the shareholders of the Demerged Company not resident in Italy, it is recommended to carry out the proper analysis taken into account the tax regime in force in their countries of residence.
Although not explicitly stated, for the purpose of income tax the provisions of Article 173 of TUIR shall apply.
The demerger transactions are not specifically regulated under the regional tax on the productive activities ("IRAP"). However, as clarified by the Agenzia delle Entrate, also for such purposes a general principle of neutrality would apply, so that the Demerger does not involve any taxable component nor the automatic recognition of any higher values recorded in the financial statements following the transaction.
For the purposes of the indirect taxation, the Transaction is exempted from the VAT pursuant to Art. 2, paragraph 3, lett. f), of Presidential Decree no. 633, October 26th, 1972, and is subject to fix registration tax in accordance with Article 4, let. b), first part, of the Tariff attached to Presidential Decree no. 131/1986.

The composition of Enel Green Power's net shareholders' equity for accounting purposes existing following the Demerger will be that set forth in the Table (called the "Composition of the Demerged Company's net shareholders' equity, ante and post Demerger") attached as schedule H to this Demerger Plan, which schedule constitutes an integral and substantive part hereof.
The composition of Enel's net shareholders' equity for accounting purposes existing following the Demerger will be that set forth in the Table (called the "Composition of the Beneficiary Company's net shareholders' equity ante and post Demerger") attached as schedule I to this Demerger Plan, which schedule constitutes an integral and substantive part hereof.
It should be noted, in conclusion, that:
-
the Set of Assets Demerged includes the contractual relationships pertaining thereto, including the employment relationships with the 6 human resources, as better described in the above-mentioned document attached as schedule G hereto and in the related notes setting forth details and comments;
-
the asset-side and liability-side balance sheet elements and the legal relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged will be those actually existing on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, therefore also taking into account the changes that will take place between the date of reference of the financial statements as of 30 September 2015 of the Demerged Company and the Date of Effect of the Demerger, as a result of the trends in day-to-day business operations. Therefore, any differences in the value/existence of such elements and relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged, between 30 September 2015 and the Date of Effect of the Demerger, shall give rise to the registration of a credit/debit item between the Demerged Company and the Beneficiary Company. The formal registration of the shareholding transferred as a result of the Demerger from EGP to Enel will be carried out in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Prior to the execution of the deed of Demerger, Enel and Enel Green Power will complete all actions that may be necessary and/or advisable for purposes of allowing for Enel's takeover of guarantees/security interests falling within the Set of Assets Demerged set forth in schedule G and sub-schedule 2, with the consequent release of Enel Green Power from the obligations provided thereunder, negotiating with the counterparties all appropriate agreements and/or legal deeds.
For those guarantees with respect to which it is not possible to
perfect the foregoing by the Date of Effect of the Demerger, Enel and Enel Green Power will take all actions necessary or useful to ensure that Enel replaces Enel Green Power in the obligations deriving from such guarantees/security interests. It is nonetheless agreed that if Enel Green Power cannot be released from the obligations deriving from the above-mentioned guarantees/security interests, all related costs, charges, liabilities and responsibilities will be taken over in full by the Beneficiary Company.

EXCHANGE RATIO FOR THE SHARES AND
CRITERION FOR THE NON-PROPORTIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF THE SHARES OF THE
BENEFICIARY COMPANY
As of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the quota of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged, comprised of no. 3,640,000,000 (three billion six hundred forty million) shares in EGP ("Total shares in EGP exchanged"), will be exchanged using the Exchange Ratio indicated below, as follows: (i) EGP's shareholders other than Enel will exchange all of the shares held in EGP; (ii) Enel, on the other hand, will exchange only a portion of its shares held in EGP, corresponding to the above-mentioned total number of Shares in EGP exchanged, after deducting the EGP shares exchanged by shareholders of EGP other than Enel.
It is acknowledged that for purposes of the determination of the above-mentioned number of shares in EGP referring to the Set of Assets Demerged pertaining, respectively, to Enel and to the shareholders of EGP other than Enel and, therefore, the criterion for the non-proportional assignment of the newly issued shares in the Beneficiary Company to the shareholders of the Demerged Company, the Boards of Directors of the companies taking part in the Demerger have attributed to such Set of Assets Demerged a value corresponding to 72.8 percent of the entire value of EGP as a whole prior to the Demerger.
The Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP which have drafted this Demerger Plan have approved the following exchange ratio: no. 0.486 newly issued Enel shares for each EGP share exchanged (the "Exchange Ratio").
The Exchange Ratio will be subject to a congruousness assessment/opinion by one or more independent experts pursuant to art. 2501-sexies of the Italian Civil Code.
No cash adjustments are envisaged.
As a result on the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Beneficiary Company will increase its share capital through the issuance of up to 1,769,040,000 (one billion seven hundred sixty nine million forty thousand) shares – with regular entitlement and a nominal value of Euro 1.00 each - in favor of the shareholders of the Demerged Company on the basis of the Exchange Ratio. The amount of Enel's capital increase to service the Exchange Ratio may not exceed the value attributed to the Set of Assets Demerged under the appraisal report by the independent expert referred to in the recitals above. In particular:
a) the shareholders of EGP other than Enel will be assigned – through application of the Exchange Ratio – a total of up to a maximum of 770,588,712 (seven hundred seventy million five hundred eighty eight thousand seven hundred twelve) newly issued Enel shares, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of a total of 1,585,573,483 (one billion five hundred eighty five million five hundred seventy three thousand four hundred eighty three) EGP shares held by such shareholders, while
b) Enel will be assigned a total of 998,451,288 (nine hundred ninety eight million four hundred fifty one thousand two hundred eighty eight) Enel shares – with simultaneous cancellation of the same pursuant to the prohibition provided under art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, as cited in art. 2506-ter, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code –, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of 2,054,426,517 (two billion fifty four million four hundred twenty six thousand five hundred seventeen) EGP shares held by it.
In light of the above, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the share capital of the Beneficiary Company will be increased of up to maximum 770,588,712 (seven hundred seventy million five hundred eighty eight thousand seven hundred twelve) newly issued Enel shares, entirely assigned to the Shareholders of the Demerged Company other than Enel.
The number of newly assigned Enel shares may change depending upon the number of EGP shares acquired by Enel upon the conclusion of the pre-emption offer of the EGP shares that may be subject to the sale and withdrawal rights (hereinafter indicated in paragraph 10). Since, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, all of the above-mentioned 3,640,000,000 (three billion six hundred forty million) shares in EGP representing the portion of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged forming the subject matter of the exchange will be cancelled in their entirety, on such date, the Demerged Company's share capital will be reduced from its current total amount of Euro 1,000,000,000.00 (one billion/00) to a total of Euro 272,000,000 (two hundred seventy two million/00), comprised of 1,360,000,000 (one billion three hundred sixty million) ordinary shares having a price per share of Euro 0.20 (zero/20) each.
As a result of the exchange by EGP shareholders other than Enel of all shares held by them in EGP, and the consequent cancellation of the same, Enel – as a result of the Demerger – will be the sole shareholder of the Demerged Company.
(5)
PROCEDURE FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE SHARES OF THE
BENEFICIARY COMPANY
The assignment to EGP's shareholders other than Enel of the newly issued shares of the Beneficiary Company will take place, under a regime of dematerialization and through authorized intermediaries, starting from the Date of Effect of the Demerger, in accordance with the timetable and the procedures to be announced to the market through the publication of a specific notice on the Demerged Company's website (www.enelgreenpower.com), in at least one national daily newspaper, and on the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com). The newly issued Enel shares will be listed on the MTA like the shares of the Beneficiary Company already outstanding. No costs will be imposed upon EGP's shareholders in connection with the exchange transactions.
A service will be made available to EGP's shareholders in order
to allow for rounding to the immediately lower or higher number of Enel shares due upon the application of the Exchange Ratio, without any additional expenses, stamp duties or fees being charged. Alternatively, different procedures may be activated in order to ensure the overall successful outcome of the transaction. Considering that, as already mentioned, the EGP shares are currently admitted to trading on the Spanish regulated markets and that the Enel shares assigned at the time of the exchange will not be admitted to trading on such markets, the Spanish Regulatory Authority (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has notified that, in line with the previous similar cases that have occurred on the Spanish markets, it is necessary to appoint a dedicated "connection/reference" intermediary (referred to as the "entidad de enlace"), in order to enable the shareholders who, as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger, will hold EGP shares admitted to trading on the above-mentioned Spanish markets (through the Spanish centralized management/administration system, Iberclear) to sell on the MTA, during the month following the Date of Effect of the Demerger, the Enel shares received in exchange, without any additional costs related to the sale on a foreign market. After the above-mentioned one-month period, the above-mentioned shareholders may purchase or sell the Enel shares in Italy on the
MTA through authorized intermediaries, incurring the costs of the transaction.
(6)
DATE STARTING ON WHICH THE SHARES ASSIGNED BY THE BENEFICIARY COMPANY WILL SHARE IN EARNINGS
The shares issued by Enel to service the Exchange Ratio will have regular entitlement and, therefore, the same rights to share in earnings of the Beneficiary Company resting with the other shares of the same Beneficiary Company already outstanding as of the Date of Effect of the Demerger.
(7)
STARTING DATE OF THE EFFECTS OF THE DEMERGER AND OF THE ENTRY OF THE TRANSACTIONS PERTAINING TO THE BALANCE SHEET ELEMENTS FORMING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE DEMERGER IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE BENEFICARY COMPANY
The start date of civil law effects of the Demerger will correspond with the last of the registrations provided under art. 2506-quater of the Italian Civil Code, or such other later date that may be indicated in the deed of Demerger ("Date of Effect of the Demerger"). To such end, the Shareholders' Meetings of the companies taking part in the Demerger will grant a specific mandate to their boards of directors in order to set the Date of Effect of the Demerger, if later than the last of the registrations provided under art. 2506-quater of the Italian Civil Code.
Starting on the same date, the transactions pertaining to the balance sheet elements assigned to the Beneficiary Company will be entered in the financial statement of the Beneficiary Company, with all related accounting and tax effects also starting on the same date.
(8)
TREATMENT (IF ANY) RESERVED TO SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF SHAREHOLDERS AND HOLDERS OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN SHARES
The companies taking part in the Demerger have not issued any particular categories of shares or convertible debt securities or other equity instruments or financial instruments convertible into shares.
(9)
PARTICULAR ADVANTAGES IN FAVOR OF THE DIRECTORS
No particular advantages are envisaged in favor of the Directors of the companies taking part in the Demerger.
(10)
RIGHT OF SALE AND RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
EGP's shareholders who do not take part in the approval of the
Demerger will be entitled to have their own EGP shares purchased by Enel pursuant to and for purposes of art. 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Right of Sale"). In such regard, Enel has declared its intention to purchase all shares subject to the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal (as defined below) that have not been sold following the pre-emption offer referred to below.
The Right of Sale may concern all or even only a portion of the EGP shares held by the shareholders of the Demerged Company who exercise the Right of Sale. The price per share of the EGP share is determined by applying the criterion provided under art. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, represented by the arithmetic average of the closing price of the EGP share over the six months preceding the publication of the notice of call of EGP's extraordinary shareholders' meeting called to approve the Demerger (the "Liquidation Value").
The Liquidation Value will be announced to the shareholders and the market through a specific press release viewable on EGP's website and through the publication of a notice on at least one national daily newspaper. The procedure for the exercise of the Right of Sale is the same as that provided under art. 2437-bis of the Italian Civil Code for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal (as defined below).
In addition, the shareholders entitled to exercise the Right of Sale may exercise the right of withdrawal, pursuant to art. 2437, paragraph 1, letter a), of the Italian Civil Code (the "Right of Withdrawal"), at the same price provided for the Right of Sale indicated above, since Enel, the Beneficiary Company of the Demerger, has a clause of its corporate purpose that allows for the conduct of business that differs significantly from that described in EGP's corporate purpose clause. The methods for exercising the Right of Withdrawal are those provided under applicable law. In any case, the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal may not be exercised for the same share.
The process of liquidation of the shares for which the Right of Sale and/or the Right of Withdrawal are exercised will take place, in a single context, in accordance with art. 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code. In particular, the terms of the pre-emption offer that will be addressed to all of EGP's shareholders pursuant to the above-mentioned provision of law, will be announced in accordance with the procedures provided under the applicable legal framework, specifying in such regard that the related notices will be published a reasonable time in advance on the Demerged Company's website (www.enelgreenpower.com), in at least one national daily newspaper, and on the authorized storage mechanism called "NIS-Storage" (www.emarketstorage.com). The effect of the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal is conditioned upon the perfection of the Demerger.
*****
The effect of the Demerger is conditioned upon the circumstance that the total liquidation value of the EGP shares in connection with which the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale is validly exercised does not exceed Euro 300,000,000 (three hundred million/00)(the "Condition Precedent").
The Condition Precedent shall be deemed likewise satisfied – even in the event that the limit indicated above is exceeded - if Enel, within 60 calendar days from the last registration with the Companies Register of Rome of the shareholders' meeting resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to purchase all of the shares for which the above-mentioned rights have been exercised.
The foregoing is subject to possible supplements and/or updates (including numerical ones) to the Demerger Plan, and to the By-laws of the Beneficiary Company (post-Demerger) and to the By-laws of the Demerged Company (post-Demerger) attached hereto, as may be required or permitted under the legal framework, and/or by the competent regulatory authorities or public authorities or companies that manage the regulated markets involved, or at the time of registration in the companies register of Rome or, lastly, depending upon the performance/perfection of the Demerger transaction as structured under this Demerger Plan.

- 12.3 The resolutions of the shareholders' general meetings, adopted in compliance with the law and with these Articles of Association, bind the shareholders whether or not they attend or vote against them.
SECTION V BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Article 13
- 13.1 The Company is managed by a Board of Directors by a number of members not lower than seven and not higher than thirteen. The shareholders' general meeting determines such number within the said limits.
- 13.2 The Board of Directors is appointed for a period of up to three financial years and may be re-elected.
- 13.3 The Directors are appointed by the shareholders' general meeting on the basis of lists presented by the shareholders and by the outgoing Board of Directors, in which the candidates must be listed with a progressive number. Each list must include at least two candidates satisfying the requirements of independence provided for by the law, distinctly mentioning such candidates and listing one of them as first in the list.
Slates which contain a number of candidates equal to or above three shall include candidates belonging to different genders, as indicated in the notice of meeting, in order to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors is compliant with the applicable laws on balance between genders.
The lists must be lodged at the registered office and published in compliance with the regulations in force. Each shareholder may present or cooperate in presenting only one list and each candidate may stand in only one list on pain of non eligibility. Only those shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, own the minimum percentage of the share capital provided for by regulation of the Consob are entitled to present lists. The declaration of individual candidates in which they accept their candidacies and certify under their own responsibility the inexistence of any cause of ineligibility or incompatibility, as well as the satisfaction of the requirements prescribed by applicable law for the respective offices, are to be lodged together with each list. The appointed Directors must inform the Board of Directors without delay of the loss of the above mentioned requirements, or of the occurrence of any cause of ineligibility or incompatibility.
All those entitled to vote may vote for one single list.
The appointment of the Directors is conducted as follows:
- a) seven tenths of the Directors to be elected rounding down, in the case of a fraction inferior to a single unit, to the inferior unit, shall be drawn from the list that obtained the higher number of votes cast in the progressive order in which they are listed;
- b) the remaining Directors are taken from the other lists; to this end, the votes obtained by those lists are divided successively by one, two, three and so on, depending on the number of Directors to be elected. The quotients obtained are attributed progressively to the candidates on each of these lists, in the order foreseen thereby. The quotients thus attributed to the candidates of the different lists are arranged in decreasing order in a single ranking. Those with the highest quotients are those elected. Should more than one candidate obtain the the same quotient, the candidate from the list with no elected Directors or with the fewest elected Directors shall be appointed Director. If none of these lists has a Director elected or they all have the same number of Directors elected, the candidate who obtained the higher number of votes within such lists is elected. If there is tie in terms of both quotients assigned and votes obtained by each list, the entire shareholders' general meeting shall vote again and the candidate obtaining a simple majority of votes will be elected;
- c) for the purposes of identifying the Directors to be elected, the candidates designated on the lists that obtain a number votes lower than the half of the percentage required for the presentation of the same lists shall not be taken into account;
- c-bis) if, following the vote and the above procedure, the applicable laws on balance between genders are not complied with, candidates which would result to be elected in the various slates are disposed in one single decreasing ranking list, to be formed in compliance with the quotient system indicated under letter b). The candidate in such ranking list belonging to the most represented gender having the lowest quotient is therefore replaced with the first candidate of the less represented gender belonging to the same slate which would result not to be elected. In the event that in such slate there are no other candidates, the replacement here above is carried out by the Shareholders' meeting with the majorities provided for under the law, as provided for under the following point d) and in compliance with the principle of a proportional representation of minority shareholders in the Board of Directors.
In case of a tie between quotients, the replacement is made in favour of the candidate drawn from the slate which has obtained the highest number of votes.
If the replacement of the candidate of the most represented gender having the lowest quotient in the ranking list does not allow, in any case, to reach the minimum threshold provided for under the applicable laws on balance between genders, the above said replacement procedure is carried out also with reference to the candidate belonging to the most represented gender having the second last quotient, and so forth, starting from the end of the ranking list.
c-ter) the president of the meeting, at the end of the above procedures, declares the elected members;
d) for the appointment of Directors who, for any reason, are not elected according to the procedure above, the shareholders' general meeting resolves according to the majorities provided for by the law ensuring in any case, the presence of the necessary number of Directors satisfying the requirements of independence provided for by the law, and the compliance with the applicable laws on balance between genders.
The list voting procedure applies only in the case of renewal of the entire Board of Directors.
- 13.4 The shareholders' general meeting, even during the term of the Board of Directors, may vary the number of members of the Board of Directors, always within the limits referred to in Article 13.1 above, and elect them. The Directors thus elected terminate their mandate with those already appointed.
- 13.5 Should one or more vacancies occur on the Board during the financial year Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code shall apply. If one or more of the Directors no longer available was from a list containing unelected candidates, the replacement shall be effected appointing, according to the progressive order, persons drawn from the list whence the Director no longer available was elected provided that they are still eligible and willing to accept the appointment. In any case, the replacement of ceased Directors is effected by the Board of Directors assuring the presence of the necessary number of Directors satisfying the requirements of independence required by the law, and the compliance with the applicable laws on balance between genders. If the majority of Directors appointed by the shareholders' general meeting ceases from the office, the entire Board of Directors is to be deemed to have resigned and the Directors still in office must promptly call a meeting of the shareholders to elect a new Board.
Article 14
- 14.1 The Board, if not dealt with by the shareholders' general meeting, elects one of its members as Chairman; it may elect a Deputy Chairman, who stands in for the Chairman in the case of absence or impediment.
-
- The Board, upon proposal of the Chairman, appoints a secretary, also external to the Company.
Article 15
- 15.1 The Board meets at the venue indicated in the notice of call any time the Chairman, or in the case the latter is absent or unavailable, the Deputy Chairman, deems it necessary. The Board may also be called according to the modalities provided for by Article 24.5 of these Articles of Association. The Board of Directors must likewise be called when there is a written request to that effect from at least three Directors to resolve upon a specific matter considered of particular importance and pertaining to management, the subject of which shall be specified in the said request.
- 15.2 Board meetings may also be held by telecommunications media, upon condition that all those attending can be identified and that such identification is noted in the relevant minutes and they are enabled to follow the discussion and intervene in real time on the matters debated, exchanging, if necessary, documentation; in this case, the Board of Directors is considered to be held in the place where the person chairing the meeting is located and where the secretary must be located as well, in order to permit the drafting and signature of the relevant minutes.
15.3 Usually, the notice of call is sent at least five days before the date set for the meetings. In cases of urgency, the term may be shorter. The Board of Directors resolves upon the way of convocation of its meetings.
Article 16
16.1 The meetings of the Board are chaired by the Chairman or, in the absence or impediment thereof, by the Deputy Chairman, if elected. In the absence of the latter too, the meetings are chaired by the oldest Director.

Title V Board of Directors
article 14
- 14.1 The Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors composed of no fewer than three and no more than nine members. A Shareholders' Meeting shall determine their number within the aforesaid limits.
- 14.2 The Board of Directors shall serve for a term of up to three accounting periods and its members shall be eligible for re-election.
- 14.3 The Directors shall be elected by a Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of slates presented by the shareholders and by the outgoing Board of Directors. Within each slate, the candidates are to be numbered progressively.
Each slate must include at least two candidates possessing the requirements of independence established by the law, distinctly mentioning such candidates and listing one of them first on the slate.
Slates which contain a number of candidates equal to or above three shall include candidates belonging to different genders, as indicated in the notice of the meeting, in order to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors is compliant with the applicable laws on balance between genders.
The slates are to be lodged at the registered office and published in accordance with the regulations in force.
Each shareholder may present or participate in presenting only one slate and each candidate may be presented on only one slate under pain of ineligibility.
Only those shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, own the minimum percentage of the share capital established by a regulation of the Consob are entitled to present slates.
The declarations of the individual candidates, in which they accept their candidacies and certify, under their own responsibility, the inexistence of any cause of ineligibility or incompatibility, as well as the satisfaction of the requirements prescribed by applicable law and these bylaws for their respective offices, are to be lodged together with each slate.
The Directors elected must inform the Board of Directors without delay of the loss of the requirements mentioned at the end of the preceding paragraph, as well as of the occurrence of causes of ineligibility or incompatibility.
All those entitled to vote may vote for only one slate.
The procedure for electing the Directors is to be as follows:
- a) seven-tenths of the Directors to be elected, rounding down any fraction to the unit, shall be drawn from the slate that has obtained the most votes cast in the order in which they are listed on the slate;
- b) the remaining Directors shall be drawn from the other slates; for this purpose, the votes obtained by these slates shall be divided successively by one, two, three and so forth according to the number of Directors to be elected. The numbers obtained in this way shall be attributed to the candidates of such slates in the order in which they rank in the slate. The numbers thus attributed to the candidates of the various slates shall be arranged in decreasing order in a single ranking. The candidates who have obtained the highest numbers shall become Directors.
In the event that more than one candidate has obtained the same number, the candidate of the slate that has not yet elected a Director or that has elected the fewest Directors shall be appointed Director.
In the event that no Director has been elected yet from any of these slates or that the same number of Directors has been elected from each slate, the candidate of the slate that has obtained the most votes shall be appointed Director. If there is a tie in terms of both numbers assigned and votes obtained by each slate, the entire Shareholders' Meeting shall vote again and the candidate who obtains a simple majority of the votes will be appointed Director;
- c) for the purposes of the identifying the Directors to be elected, the candidates designated on the slates that have obtained a number of votes amounting to less than half of the percentage required for the presentation of the same slates shall not be taken into account;
- c-bis) if, following the vote and the above procedure, the applicable laws on balance between genders are not complied with, candidates which would result to be elected in the various slates are disposed in one single decreasing ranking list, to be formed in compliance with the quotient system indicated under letter b). The candidate in such ranking list belonging to the most represented gender having the lowest quotient is therefore replaced with the first candidate of the less represented gender belonging to the same slate which would result not elected. In the event that in such slate there are no other candidates, the replacement here above is carried out by the Shareholders' meeting with the majorities provided for under the law, as provided for under the following point d) and in compliance with the principle of a proportional representation of minority shareholders in the Board of Directors.
In case of a tie between quotients, the replacement is made in favour of the candidate drawn from the slate which has obtained the highest number of votes.
If the replacement of the candidate of the most represented gender having the lowest quotient in the ranking list does not allow, in any case, to reach the minimum threshold provided for under the applicable laws on balance between genders, the above said replacement procedure is carried out also with reference to the candidate belonging to the most represented gender having the second last quotient, and so forth, starting from the end of the ranking list.
- c-ter) the president of the meeting, at the end of the above procedures, declares the elected members;
- d) for the appointment of the Directors who, for whatever reason, are not elected pursuant to the procedures specified above, the Shareholders' Meeting will resolve according to the majorities provided for by the law, ensuring in any case the presence of the necessary number of Directors possessing the requirements of independence established by the law, and the compliance with the applicable laws on balance between genders.
The slate-vote mechanism shall apply only when the entire Board of Directors is being elected.
- 14.4 Even during a Board's term, a Shareholders' Meeting may change the number of the members of the Board of Directors within the limits referred to in 14.1 above and proceed to elect them. The term of the Directors so elected is to end at the same time as that of the Directors in office.
- 14.5 Should one or more vacancies occur on the Board during the accounting period, steps shall be taken in accordance with section 2386 of the Civil Code. If one or more of the Directors leaving their offices vacant were drawn from a slate also containing unelected candidates, they shall be replaced by appointing, in progressive order, persons drawn from the slate to which the Director in question belonged, provided that said persons are still eligible and willing to accept the directorship. In any case, in replacing Directors who leave their offices vacant, the Board of Directors shall ensure the presence of the necessary number of Directors possessing the requirements of independence established by the law, and the compliance with the applicable laws on balance between genders. In the event that the majority of the offices of the Directors elected by the shareholders becomes vacant, the entire Board is to be deemed to have resigned and the Directors still in office must promptly call a meeting of the shareholders to elect a new Board.
article 14-bis
- 14-bis.1 The issue of a judgement, even if not final and without prejudice to the effects of rehabilitation, convicting a director of any of the offenses indicated below shall constitute grounds for ineligibility to or disqualification from the office of director, for cause and without entitlement to damages:

The composition of the board of statutory auditors, situations of ineligibility and the limits to the number of offices on boards of directors, boards of statutory auditors, and similar bodies that the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may hold shall be governed by the provisions of the statutes and regulations in force.

The provisions of law in force shall apply to the presentation, lodgment and publication of the slates.

In compliance with the applicable laws on balance between genders, slates which, taking into account both sections, contain a number of candidates equal to or above three, shall include, both in the first two places of the section of the slate relating to the regular statutory auditors, and in the first two places of the section of the slate relating to the alternate statutory auditors, candidates belonging to different genders.

In the event that one of the members drawn from the slate that obtained the most votes is substituted, his or her place shall be taken by the first of the alternate members drawn from the same slate. In the event that the replacement, if carried out through the above modalities, does not allow to form a Board of Statutory Auditors compliant with the applicable laws on balance between genders, the replacement shall be carried out in favour of the second alternate Statutory Auditor belonging to the same slate. If thereafter it is necessary to replace the other regular Statutory Auditor belonging to the slate which has obtained the highest number of votes, the latter shall in any case be replaced by the alternate Statutory Auditor belonging to the same slate.

Title V Board of Directors
article 14
- 14.1 The Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors composed of no fewer than three and no more than nine members. A Shareholders' Meeting shall determine their number within the aforesaid limits.
- 14.2 The Board of Directors shall serve for a term of up to three accounting periods and its members shall be eligible for re-election.
- 14.3 The Directors shall be elected by a Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of slates presented by the shareholders and by the outgoing Board of Directors. Within each slate, the candidates are to be numbered progressively.
Each slate must include at least two candidates possessing the requirements of independence established by the law, distinctly mentioning such candidates and listing one of them first on the slate.
Slates which contain a number of candidates equal to or above three shall include candidates belonging to different genders, as indicated in the notice of the meeting, in order to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors is compliant with the applicable laws on balance between genders.
The slates are to be lodged at the registered office and published in accordance with the regulations in force.
Each shareholder may present or participate in presenting only one slate and each candidate may be presented on only one slate under pain of ineligibility.
Only those shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, own the minimum percentage of the share capital established by a regulation of the Consob are entitled to present slates.
The declarations of the individual candidates, in which they accept their candidacies and certify, under their own responsibility, the inexistence of any cause of ineligibility or incompatibility, as well as the satisfaction of the requirements prescribed by applicable law and these bylaws for their respective offices, are to be lodged together with each slate.
The Directors elected must inform the Board of Directors without delay of the loss of the requirements mentioned at the end of the preceding paragraph, as well as of the occurrence of causes of ineligibility or incompatibility.
All those entitled to vote may vote for only one slate.
The procedure for electing the Directors is to be as follows:
- a) seven-tenths of the Directors to be elected, rounding down any fraction to the unit, shall be drawn from the slate that has obtained the most votes cast in the order in which they are listed on the slate;
- b) the remaining Directors shall be drawn from the other slates; for this purpose, the votes obtained by these slates shall be divided successively by one, two, three and so forth according to the number of Directors to be elected. The numbers obtained in this way shall be attributed to the candidates of such slates in the order in which they rank in the slate. The numbers thus attributed to the candidates of the various slates shall be arranged in decreasing order in a single ranking. The candidates who have obtained the highest numbers shall become Directors.
In the event that more than one candidate has obtained the same number, the candidate of the slate that has not yet elected a Director or that has elected the fewest Directors shall be appointed Director.
In the event that no Director has been elected yet from any of these slates or that the same number of Directors has been elected from each slate, the candidate of the slate that has obtained the most votes shall be appointed Director. If there is a tie in terms of both numbers assigned and votes obtained by each slate, the entire Shareholders' Meeting shall vote again and the candidate who obtains a simple majority of the votes will be appointed Director;
- c) for the purposes of the identifying the Directors to be elected, the candidates designated on the slates that have obtained a number of votes amounting to less than half of the percentage required for the presentation of the same slates shall not be taken into account;
- c-bis) if, following the vote and the above procedure, the applicable laws on balance between genders are not complied with, candidates which would result to be elected in the various slates are disposed in one single decreasing ranking list, to be formed in compliance with the quotient system indicated under letter b). The candidate in such ranking list belonging to the most represented gender having the lowest quotient is therefore replaced with the first candidate of the less represented gender belonging to the same slate which would result not elected. In the event that in such slate there are no other candidates, the replacement here above is carried out by the Shareholders' meeting with the majorities provided for under the law, as provided for under the following point d) and in compliance with the principle of a proportional representation of minority shareholders in the Board of Directors.
In case of a tie between quotients, the replacement is made in favour of the candidate drawn from the slate which has obtained the highest number of votes.
If the replacement of the candidate of the most represented gender having the lowest quotient in the ranking list does not allow, in any case, to reach the minimum threshold provided for under the applicable laws on balance between genders, the above said replacement procedure is carried out also with reference to the candidate belonging to the most represented gender having the second last quotient, and so forth, starting from the end of the ranking list.
- c-ter) the president of the meeting, at the end of the above procedures, declares the elected members;
- d) for the appointment of the Directors who, for whatever reason, are not elected pursuant to the procedures specified above, the Shareholders' Meeting will resolve according to the majorities provided for by the law, ensuring in any case the presence of the necessary number of Directors possessing the requirements of independence established by the law, and the compliance with the applicable laws on balance between genders.
The slate-vote mechanism shall apply only when the entire Board of Directors is being elected.
- 14.4 Even during a Board's term, a Shareholders' Meeting may change the number of the members of the Board of Directors within the limits referred to in 14.1 above and proceed to elect them. The term of the Directors so elected is to end at the same time as that of the Directors in office.
- 14.5 Should one or more vacancies occur on the Board during the accounting period, steps shall be taken in accordance with section 2386 of the Civil Code. If one or more of the Directors leaving their offices vacant were drawn from a slate also containing unelected candidates, they shall be replaced by appointing, in progressive order, persons drawn from the slate to which the Director in question belonged, provided that said persons are still eligible and willing to accept the directorship. In any case, in replacing Directors who leave their offices vacant, the Board of Directors shall ensure the presence of the necessary number of Directors possessing the requirements of independence established by the law, and the compliance with the applicable laws on balance between genders. In the event that the majority of the offices of the Directors elected by the shareholders becomes vacant, the entire Board is to be deemed to have resigned and the Directors still in office must promptly call a meeting of the shareholders to elect a new Board.
article 14-bis
- 14-bis.1 The issue of a judgement, even if not final and without prejudice to the effects of rehabilitation, convicting a director of any of the offenses indicated below shall constitute grounds for ineligibility to or disqualification from the office of director, for cause and without entitlement to damages:
- a) offenses provided for under laws on banking, financial, securities, and insurance business and laws governing financial markets, securities and means of payment,
- b) offenses provided for under Title XI of Book V of the Italian Civil Code and Royal Decree No. 267 of March 16, 1942,

is automatically disqualified from office, with cause and without any right to be indemnified, and, as a consequence, his/her relevant delegated powers cease. Similarly, the chief executive officer is disqualified from office if addressed with other kind of precautionary measures that can no longer be appealed, if the Board of Directors believes that such measures make impossible for the chief executive officer to exercise his/her delegated powers.

Non-current liabilities register, compared to December 31, 2014, an increase of Euro 157 million mainly related to the increase in long-term borrowings (Euro 174 million) partially offset by the decrease in the provisions for risks and charges (Euro 9 million) and the decline in liabilities related to derivative instruments (Euro 8 million).
Long-term borrowings, up by Euro 174 million, mainly relate to the borrowings disbursed to the subsidiary 3Sun Srl.

Current liabilities show, compared to December 31, 2014, an upward change of Euro 372 million attributable essentially to the rise in short-term borrowings (Euro 335 million) and income tax payables (Euro 55 million), partially offset by a decrease in trade payables (Euro 50 million) and other current liabilities (Euro 16 million).
Short-term Borrowings register an increase of Euro 355 million with respect to December 31, 2014, mainly as the result of an increase in the debt exposure toward the Parent Company Enel SpA and toward the Italian development companies (Euro 410 million), which effect was partially offset by a reduction in the debt position with the Parent Company's financial company Enel Finance International (Euro 200 million).
Income tax payables show an increase of Euro 55 million compared to December 31, 2014, as a result of the entry of estimated income taxes for the period.

The decline in costs for services rendered by companies of the Group, totaling Euro 1 million, is attributable essentially to the decrease in both costs of personnel seconded from the various companies of the Group and costs for "miscellaneous services" provided by a number of subsidiaries, in part offset by the higher costs for information technologies services supplied by the subsidiary Enel Italia Srl.
The "Leases and rentals" amount to Euro 12 million and have decreased by Euro 3 million compared to the previous period; the change is attributable essentially to the lower costs for rentals and leases of real estate properties owned by the subsidiary Enel Italia Srl.
4.c Personnel - Euro 114 million
The cost of labor totals Euro 114 million, up by Euro 27 million compared to the same period in the previous year, attributable essentially to the rise in the item "Wages and salaries" and the related social costs (Euro 4 million), as well as the rise in costs related to the Long Term Incentive plan (Euro 5 million).

The other operating costs, totaling Euro 15 millions, show an increase of Euro 2 million attributable essentially to lower releases (Euro 5 million), compared to 2014, of the fund for litigation, in part offset by the decline (Euro 4 million) in other operating costs related to non-recurring cost items that arose in the same period the previous year.
The operating income is negative in the amount of Euro 81 million and, compared to the same period the previous year, has worsened by Euro 47 million attributable essentially to the joint effect of lower revenues from the supply of services rendered to the companies of the Group, greater costs of personnel and the decrease in costs for the leases and rentals.

9. Current assets - Euro 10,220 million

Liabilities
10. Shareholders' equity - Euro 24,970 million
Shareholders' equity totals Euro 24,970 million and is down by Euro 166 million compared to December 31, 2014.

Non-current liabilities show, compared to December 31, 2014, a decline of Euro 2,588 million attributable mainly to the decrease in long-term borrowings (Euro 2,799 million), as a result of the redemption, in the first quarter of year 2015, of two retail debenture borrowings in the amount of Euro 2,300 million, partially offset by the increase in the item "Derivatives" (Euro 139 million) attributable to the valuation as of September 30, 2015 of the financial derivative contracts (comprised of derivatives on interest rates in the amount of Euro 568 million and on exchange rates in the amount of Euro 2,055 million).
12. Current liabilities - Euro 9,454 million

The item in question includes the shareholding of 100% of the share capital of the subsidiary Enel Green Power International BV (hereinafter, EGPI BV) a company organized under Dutch law, the holding of a number of foreign shareholdings of Enel Green Power Spa.

Current assets
Other current financial assets – Euro 436,503,629
The item is included in point 2 of paragraph 3 "Balance sheet items to be assigned to the beneficiary company" of the Demerger plan.
The item refers to the short-term financial receivable and the related assetside accrual owed by the company Enel Green Power North America Ltd. in connection with a financial restructuring transaction concluded in 2014; exchange rate risk related to such financial receivable is hedged through a "currency forward" contract.
Such assets are initially entered at fair value, possibly adjusted to reflect transaction costs and, later, entered at amortized cost on the basis of the actual interest rate, adjusted to reflect any losses in value. Such reductions in value are determined as the difference between the book value and the current value of future cash flows, discounted at the original actual interest rate. In the case of renegotiated financial assets, the losses in value are determined using the original actual interest rate prior to the change in conditions. The receivable in question derives from the financial restructuring of the North American companies Enel Green Power North America Inc. (EGP NA) and Enel Green Power North America Development LLC (EGP NAD), directly and wholly controlled by Enel Green Power International BV (EGPI BV).
Such transaction was concluded in year 2014 by converting a portion of the net shareholders' equity of the two North American companies into debt, using mainly the short-term credit line disbursed by Enel Green Power Spa (through the execution of two loan agreements for the loan to EGP North America and EGP North America Development fora total of Euro 535 million as of December 31, 2013). In particular, such transaction gave rise to, on December 31, 2014:
- the reimbursement by the North American companies to the holding company EGPI BV of share premium reserves in the amount of Euro 652 million and the simultaneous reduction of the value of the shareholdings of the holding company in the two North American companies;
- the reimbursement by EGPI BV to the holding company EGP Spa of share premium reserves and the simultaneous reduction in the value of the shareholding of the holding company in EGPI BV in the amount of Euro 652 million.
Other current assets – Euro 1,377
The item is included in point 4 of paragraph 3 "Balance sheet items to be assigned to the beneficiary company" of the Demerger plan.

Liabilities
Non-current liabilities

The item is included in point 3 of paragraph 3 "Balance sheet items to be assigned to the beneficiary company" of the Demerger plan.
The item is comprised entirely of the long-term credit line with Enel Green Power International BV.
It should be noted that the financial liabilities other than derivative instruments are registered when the Company becomes party to the contractual clauses of the instrument and are assessed initially at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Post-employment and other employee benefits – Euro 223,394
The item is included in point 4 of paragraph 3 "Balance sheet items to be assigned to the beneficiary company" of the Demerger plan.
The liability related to benefits granted to employees and disbursed at the same time or after the cessation of the employment relationship under defined benefits plans or other long-term benefits accrued during the employment period, separately for each plan, on the basis of actuarial assumptions, estimating the amount of future benefits that the employees have accrued as of the reference date (the projected unit credit method). More specifically, the present value of defined benefits plans is calculated using a discount rate determinate on the basis of market yields at the end of the reporting period on high-quality corporate boards. The liability is determined by accrual throughout the period
in which the right accrues. The valuation of the liability is performed by independent actuaries.
If the assets to be used to service the plan exceed the current value of the related liability for defined benefits, the surplus is entered as assets (subject to the relevant cap, if any).
With reference to the liabilities (assets)related to defined benefits plans, the actuarial earnings and losses deriving from the actuarial valuation of the liabilities, the return on the assets dedicated to service the plan (net of the associated interest earned) and the effect of the asset ceiling – (net of the related interest earned) are entered as part of the other comprehensive income (OCI), when they arise. For the other long-term benefits, the related actuarial earnings and losses are entered in the income statement.
In the event of a change to the benefits plan or introduction of a new plan, any social security cost related to past work performance (past service cost) is entered immediately in the income statement.
The employees also benefit from defined contribution plans for which Enel Green Power SpA pays fixed contributions to a separate entity (a fund) and will have no legal or implicit obligation to pay additional contributions if the fund lacks sufficient resources to pay all benefits for employees related to the work activities performed during the current year and in past years. Such plans are generally established for the purpose of increasing pension benefits after the cessation of the employment relationship. The costs related to such plans are entered in the income statement on the basis of the contribution made in the period.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS PURSUANT TO ARTICLES 2506-TER AND 2501-SEXIES CIVIL CODE (Translation from the original Italian text)
To the shareholders of Enel S.p.A. To the shareholders of Enel Green Power S.p.A.
1 REASON AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
By decision dated November 30, 2015, following the joint request of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel") and Enel Green Power S.p.A. ("EGP", together with Enel also the "Companies"), the Court of Rome has appointed PKF Italia S.p.A. as the common expert in charge to redact, in accordance with articles 2506-ter and 2501-sexies of the Italian Civil Code, the report on the exchange ratio for the project of partial non proportional demerger of EGP in favor of the parent company Enel (the "Demerger").
In order to prepare the report on the Exchange Ratio adequacy, we have received from EGP and Enel the demerger project (the "Demerger Project"), accompanied by Enel Board of Directors Report ("Enel Directors Report ") and by EGP Board of Directors Report ("EGP Directors Report" and, together with Enel Directors Report, the "Directors Reports " or the "Reports"), approved on November 17th , 2015, which indicate, explain and justify, in accordance with articles. 2506-ter and 2501-quinquies of the Civil Code, the exchange ratio of the new shares issued by Enel for the Demerger (the "Exchange Ratio"), as well as the balance sheets of the Companies as of the date of September 30th , 2015, assumed as balance sheets of reference (the "Balance Sheets"), pursuant to articles. 2506-ter and 2501-quater of the Civil Code.
To determine the exchange ratio and the criterion of non-proportional allocation of the shares at the time of exchange, the Companies availed themselves of certain financial advisors, respectively Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited and JP Morgan Limited as regards Enel and Barclays Bank PLC and Mediobanca - Banca di Credito Finanziario SpA as regards EGP (together, the "Advisors").
The Demerger Project will be submitted to the approval of the Special Meetings of Enel and EGP Shareholders, called in a single meeting on January 11th , 2016.
2 SUMMARY OF THE TRANSACTION
As indicated by the Directors in their Reports, the Demerger will result in the assignment by EGP in favor of Enel of the Demerged Perimeter, essentially represented by (i) the entire stake held by EGP same in Enel Green Power International BV, a Dutch holding company which holds shares in companies operating in the renewable energy sector in North, Central and South America, Europe, South Africa and India, and (ii) financial assets and liabilities, contracts, legal relationships, associated with that stake (the "Demerged Perimeter"). All remaining assets, other than those that are part of the Demerged Perimeter (and thus, essentially, the Italian units and the remaining foreign investments) will be entirely maintained by EGP.
In their respective Reports, the Directors explain the strategic and industrial reasons for the Demerger.
As shown in the Reports of the Directors, being a demerger with non-proportional allocation, at the effective date of the Demerger the capital share of EGP corresponding to the Demerged Perimeter, consisting of no. 3.640.000.000 EGP shares, will be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Ratio, in the following proportions:
(i) the shareholders of EGP other than Enel will exchange into Enel shares all the shares held by the same in EGP, i.e. no. 1.585.573.483 shares;
(ii) Enel instead will exchange only part of the shares held by the same in EGP, and exactly no. 2.054.426.517 shares, corresponding to the number of EGP shares brought in exchange minus the EGP shares brought in exchange by the shareholders of EGP same other than Enel.
As shown in the Demerger Project, in order to determine the number of EGP shares related to the Demerged Perimeter of Enel and of EGP shareholders other than Enel, the Companies Boards of Directors, after reviewing the reports of their respective Advisors and with the support of the same, have assigned to said Demerged Perimeter a value corresponding to 72.8 percent of the value of the entire pre-demerger EGP .
Enel and EGP Boards of Directors on November 17th , 2015, after reviewing the reports of their respective Advisors, approved the exchange ratio equal to no. 0.486 new Enel shares for each EGP share brought in exchange.
The resolution of EGP Board of Directors was taken after an unanimous favorable reasoned opinion of EGP Related Parties Committee, under the Regulations adopted by Consob with resolution no. 17221 of March 12th, 2010, as amended by resolution no. 17389 of June 23rd , 2010 (the "OPC Regulations") and the internal procedure for transactions with related parties of EGP. The OPC Committee examined the Demerger with the support of the independent financial advisors Lazard and Prof. Enrico Laghi, as well as of the independent legal advisor Prof. Agostino Gambino, identified by the OPC Committee by virtue of their demonstrated ability, professionalism and experience in similar transactions (the "OPC Committee Advisors"), and proceeded to unanimously express a favorable opinion as regards the interest of EGP in completing the transaction and the convenience and substantial correctness of the related terms and conditions.
According to the Directors Reports, following the Demerger, Enel will increase its share capital by issuing a maximum of 1.769.040.000 shares - with regular rights and a nominal value of Euro 1.00 each – in favor of EGP shareholders pursuant to the Exchange Ratio.

In particular, the Directors of the Company state that to the shareholders of EGP other than Enel will be allocated a maximum total no. of 770.588.712 newly issued Enel shares, against the cancellation at the time of exchange, of a total of no. 1.585.573.483 EGP shares held by such shareholders. To Enel will be assigned - and simultaneously cancelled by virtue of the provisions of art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code – a total no. of 998.451.288 Enel shares, against the cancellation at the time of exchange, of no. 2.054.426.517 EGP shares held by the same. Upon completion of the Demerger, Enel will therefore hold the remaining no. 1.360.000.000 EGP shares and, therefore, it will be the sole shareholder of the latter.
From the Reports of the Directors it results that, on the effective date of the Demerger, no. 3.640.000.000 EGP shares representing the share capital of EGP corresponding to the Demerged Perimeter will be cancelled. Consequently, at that date, the share capital of EGP will be reduced from the current total of EUR 1.000.000.000,00 to the total of EUR 272.000.000,00, divided into 1.360.000.000 shares wholly owned by Enel.
The amount of the Enel share capital increase, as well as of the share premium and other reserves, for the Exchange Ratio shall not be higher than the value assigned to the Demerged Perimeter by the valuation report of the expert KPMG S.p.A., prepared in accordance with the provisions of art. 2343-ter, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code.
The Directors also report that EGP shareholders who will not approve the Demerger will have the right of withdrawal pursuant to art. 2437, paragraph 1, lett. a) of the Italian Civil Code (the "Withdrawal Right"), as Enel, the recipient company of the Demerger, in its corporate purpose has a clause that allows an activity significantly different from the one described in the clause of EGP corporate purpose.
Under Article. 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, the Withdrawal Right may be exercised for a unitary liquidation value of EGP shares, determined by reference to the mathematics average of the closing prices of EGP shares on MTA in the six months preceding the publication of the notice of call of EGP Shareholders Meeting, which is equal to Euro 1.78 for each EGP share.
EGP shareholders that should not approve the Demerger will also have the right to have their EGP shares bought by Enel, pursuant to art. 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Right of Sale"), which may cover all or just part of the EGP shares held by the shareholders and can be exercised under the same conditions and terms established for the exercise of the Withdrawal Right .
As stated in the Directors' Report, the effectiveness of the Demerger is conditional on the fact that the total liquidation value of the EGP shares, in relation to which the right of withdrawal and the right of sale could be validly exercised, does not exceed Euro 300.000.000,00 (three hundred millions/00). The Condition Precedent shall be deemed equally realized, also if the above mentioned limit will be exceeded, if Enel, within 60 calendar days after the registration with the Register of Companies of Rome of the last resolution of approval of the Demerger by the shareholders meeting pursuant to art. 2502 Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to purchase all of the shares for which the rights above were exercised.
The Demerger, as reported by the Company Directors, will have legal effect from the date of the last registration provided for by art. 2506-quater of the Italian Civil Code, or from any later date stated in the Demerger document.

5 VALUATION METHODS ADOPTED BY THE DIRECTORS TO DETERMINE THE EXCHANGE RATIO
5.1 Premises
The Company Directors, also on the basis of the recommendations of their Advisors, report that they have selected and applied valuation methods with the aim of reaching not just an estimate of the absolute values of the company being valued, but a uniform and comparable basis that, in addition to having established academic commentators and practical basis, allow to assess homogeneously EGP and Enel, in order to obtain comparable values when determining the Exchange Ratio.
In this context, Enel and EGP Directors, considering the specificities of the Companies and of their status of companies listed on regulated markets, report to have adopted a number of valuation methods, both analytical ones and market ones, which are not be analyzed individually, but are to be considered as an inseparable part of a single valuation process.
More specifically, Enel Board of Directors, for the purpose of determining the Exchange Ratio, used:
-
The stock market prices method (see. Par. 5.2.1);
-
The discounting cash flow or Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method with a "Sum of the Parts" approach (see. Par. 5.2.2);
-
The analysis of the exchange ratio implied in EGP and Enel securities target prices published by brokers and major investment banks (see. Par. 5.2.3).
EGP Board of Directors used, as main evaluation criteria, the following methods:
-
The discounting cash flow or Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method with a "Sum of the Parts" approach (see. Par. 5.5.1);
-
The stock market prices method (see. Par. 5.5.2).
The analysis of the exchange ratio implicit in EGP and Enel securities target prices published by financial analysts was used as verification method (see. Par. 5.5.3).
The valuations of the Companies Directors were carried out with a standalone view, i.e. on the basis of business plans prepared separately by Enel and EGP without considering the Demerger effects.
In the following paragraphs from 5.2 to 5.4 the description of the valuation methods adopted by Enel Directors (par. 5.2), the summary of the results achieved (par. 5.3) and the valuation difficulties found (par. 5.4 ) by them will be given. Subsequently, in paragraphs from 5.5 to 5.7,
the description of the valuation methods adopted by EGP directors (par. 5.5), the summary of the results achieved (par. 5.6) and the valuation difficulties found (par. 5.7) by them will be given.
5.2 Valuation methods adopted by Enel Directors and description of the same
5.2.1 The stock market prices method
Enel Directors report that the stock market prices method determines the value of the company being valued as market capitalization, resulting from the prices of its securities traded on regulated stock markets. In particular, the method under discussion is considered relevant for the valuation of listed companies in the event of significant liquidity of the securities under exam. According to Enel Directors Report, as the academic commentators and the professional practice suggest, in light of the potential short-term volatility, it is necessary to take into account the results inferable from the stock market prices through the calculation of averages over different time horizons.
As illustrated by Enel Directors in their report, the relationship between the market price (as supplied by FactSet database) at which Enel and EGP securities have been exchanged, allows to infer an implicit exchange ratio, according to the different time horizons considered.
Enel Board of Directors has also found that EGP and Enel stock market prices were significant, due to the levels of capitalization and liquidity of the same, of the extensive coverage of the search made by brokers and major investment banks as well as the presence of widespread share ownership at national and international institutional investors levels.
Enel Directors report that the application of the method of the stock market resulted in the observation of daily exchange ratios detected on the basis of Enel and EGP relative exchange values. Said exchange ratios were observed, as shown in Enel Directors Report, under various time periods before last September 30 (included) and last October 26 (included). These dates have been considered by Enel Board of Directors as Closing dates for the methods under discussion, because:
-
on last October 1, Enel Board of Directors resolved to start the process of analysis and study of the operation under discussion;
-
on last October 27, EGP and Enel market prices were significantly influenced by market speculations about a possible announcement relative to the transaction under discussion or to a similar transaction.
In relation to the average of the exchange ratios observed daily, Enel directors have considered the averages at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months from the date of the EGP listing. The choice of such reference periods, in addition to the observations on September 30 and October 26, 2015, has been determined - as the Directors of Enel explain - by the need to offset any short-term fluctuations arisen in the level of the quotations for the two securities, while giving at the same time adequate importance to the prices negotiated more recently.
5.2.2 The cash flow discounting or discounted cash flow (DCF) method
According to ENEL Directors Report, the evaluation method was adopted to reflect the operating cash flows that a company could generate in the future, and in order to grasp the respective specificity in terms of profitability, growth, risk level, capital structure and expected level of investments.

Under this method, the economic capital value of a company is estimated as the algebraic sum of:
a) the current value of "unlevered" operational cash flows expected by the respective Business Plans;
b) the terminal value;
c) the net financial debt, inclusive of severance pay and other employees benefits, relevant items of risks and charges funds and net deferred taxes (as a deduction);
d) the value of any ancillary or non-operational activities and of assets held for sale (to increase) as expressed by the following formula:
$$
W = \sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{FC_{t}}{(1 + WACC)^{t}} + \frac{VT}{(1 + WACC)^{n}} - DF_{t0} + AC_{t0}
$$
where:
W = value of economic capital
FCt = annual "unlevered" operating cash flow expected in period t
VT = Terminal value
DF = Net financial debt, including severance pay and other employee benefits, relevant items of risks and charges funds and net deferred taxes, as of September 30, 2015
AC = Value of any ancillary or non-operational activities and assets held for sale
n = Number of periods of projection
WACC = Weighted average cost of capital
The "unlevered" operating flows of the explicit projection period are determined analytically as follows:
-
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT);
-
Theoretical taxes on EBIT (net of adjustments for non-cash items considered part of the taxable base in the tax accounting);
-
Depreciation / non-cash provisions;
-
Fixed investments;
+/- Changes in the net working capital.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to discount the expected cash flows and the terminal value is calculated as the weighted average of the cost of shareholders' equity and of the debt, with the following formula:
$$
WACC = Kd(1-t)\frac{D}{D+E} + Ke\frac{E}{D+E}
$$
Where: Kd = Cost of debt Ke = Cost of risk capital D = Debt capital E = Risk capital t = Tax rate
In particular, the cost of debt capital is the rate of long-term financing applicable to companies or economic activities with a similar risk, net of tax.
The cost of risk capital reflects instead the return expected by the investor, taking into account

the risk relative to the investment, calculated on the basis of the theory of the Capital Asset Pricing Model using the following formula:
$$
K_{\epsilon} = R_f + \beta (R_m - R_f)
$$
where:
Ke = Cost of risk capital
Rf = Expected rate of return on risk-free investments
- = Coefficient that measures the correlation between the expected returns on the considered investment and expected performance of the stock market of reference
Rm = Average return expected on equity investments in the stock market of reference
(Rm - Rf) = Return required by the stock market of reference (Rm) compared to risk-free investments (Rf).
As it is clear from Enel Directors Report, Enel Board of Directors in valuating Enel and EGP using the method under discussion, followed a "Sum of the Parts" approach. EGP and Enel value was then calculated as the sum of the values of the individual identifiable assets for each business area / country, as identified by the management of both companies, considering the same as economic entities autonomously increasable in value.
For the purpose of the enhancement of economic entities that make up the Company, Enel Directors evaluated the same by preparing specific DCF for each, using different assumptions and WACC and terminal value estimates consistent with the profile of the individual assets.
In particular, as to Enel, the Directors have used estimates of different WACC for each business area / country for which a detailed DCF was drawn up; Enel Board of Directors reports having made that distinction considering:
-
specific expected rate of return on risk-free investments (Rf) and specific expected average return on equity investments in the stock market of reference of each country (Rm), in line with the different risk profile of each country;
-
specific tax rate of each country (t);
-
specific beta coefficient for each business area (-);
The WACC, as estimated by Enel Directors, results in a weighted average of approximately 6.6% and 6.8%.
As regards EGP, Enel Board of Directors used different WACC estimates for each country for which a detailed DCF was drawn up; as in Enel case, this differentiation has been made by Enel Directors considering:
-
specific Rf and specific Rm, in line with the different risk profile of each country;
-
specific tax rate of each country.
The WACCs as estimated by Enel Directors result in a weighted average of approximately 6.2%.
To determine the estimated terminal value, Enel Directors Report shows that the Directors have used specific assumptions for each business area / country (in the case of Enel) or for each country (in the case of EGP) for which a specific DCF has been prepared. Estimates of terminal value were processed by Enel Directors, taking into account the specific characteristics of each business / country and on the basis of data, parameters and assumptions discussed and shared with the management of the Company and, in particular, the following methods were used with

reference to the main business lines / country:
-
Enel: for distribution activities in Italy and Spain a multiple of net invested capital for regulatory purposes ("RAB"), in a range between 1.1x and 1.2x was used; for sales activities in Italy and Spain the method of the Annuity was considered, which assumes that the cash flow generated in the last year will be extended for a specific period of time; for the remaining assets of Enel, with the exception of EGP, the method of perpetual growth rate, with rates of long-term growth between 0.6% and 2.0% was used.
-
EGP: the Salvage Value method or the amount recoverable at the end of a concession or at end of the useful life of a plant was used. This value, in practice, is often estimated as a percentage of the initial investment appropriately revalued. The method was applied for the useful weighted life of EGP plants in each country.
5.2.3 The analysis of the exchange ratio implicit in the target price of EGP and Enel securities published by brokers and major investment banks
Enel Directors Report shows that through said method the increases in value of the companies involved in the extraordinary operation, arising from researches published by brokers and leading national and international investment banks are compared in order to compare the relative target prices, obtaining an interval of the exchange ratio.
To apply said method, Enel Directors report in their report to have taken into account the researches published until October 26, 2015 both for Enel and for EGP, excluding any publications that refer to a potential extraordinary operation on EGP in order to prevent that such price targets do not reflect a standalone evaluation.
5.3 Summary of the results of the application of the valuation methods adopted by Enel Directors
Herein below the intervals of the exchange ratio, achieved by Enel Directors by applying the evaluation methods described in the preceding paragraphs are reported:
| Exchange Rate Interval | ||
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation Methods | Minimum | Maximum |
| Stock market valuation | 0,42 | 0,49 |
| DCF Sum of the Parts | 0,42 | 0,51 |
| Brokers target prices | 0,28 | 0,58 |
5.4 Evaluation problems found by Enel Directors
Under Articles 2506-ter and 2501-quinquies of the Italian Civil Code, for the purposes of the evaluation analysis described above, Enel Directors report to have found the following difficulties:
the forecasts and estimates and economic-financial projections used for the evaluations have, due to their nature, a degree of uncertainty about the actual predictability of the expected future operating and earnings performance, including as regards possible changes in the context of reference;

- high volatility of financial markets; in this respect it is stressed that the current international financial environment is marked by extreme volatility, with sometimes significant - and not predictable - impacts not only with reference to the market prices of the companies concerned, but also on the relevant assets and economic and financial substance;
- assessment methods based on economic- financial projections are based on the standalone business plans approved by the respective Boards of Directors of the two companies certified by the respective auditors;
- the application of the DCF method with a "sum of the parts" approach required the use of economic, financial and capital data for the individual business areas / countries in which the companies involved operate, complicating the allocation of items to individual business units / countries;
- methods of a different nature, analytical or market, were applied, requiring the use of different data, parameters and assumptions. In applying these methods, Enel Board of Directors has considered the characteristics and limitations implicit in each of them, based on the national and international professional evaluation practices;
- in the application of the target prices methods expressed by the financial analysts researches, reports published before the approval of the new Enel and EGP Business Plans have been taken into account, whose estimates and expectations may differ, even significantly, compared to the Business Plans recently approved by the respective Boards;
- the Multiples Method the was considered irrelevant and unreliable given the limited comparability of the companies being evaluated with other listed operators, also in view of the significant number of minorities, as regards Enel
5.5 The valuation methods adopted by EGP directors and the relative description made by the same
5.5.1 Application of the discounted cash flow method (DCF) as main method
EGP Directors notice that the DCF method determines the value of a company or an economic activity as a whole, on the basis of its ability to generate cash flows.
Said valuation method was adopted to grasp Enel Green Power and Enel specificities as regards profitability, growth, risk level and assets structure.
The DCF method was applied by EGP directors on the basis of the Sum of the Parts criterion, or the value of the economic capital of each of the two companies was determined as the sum of the values of the individual assets of the same, deemed as economic entities whose value can be increased autonomously .
In particular, this criterion is based on the assumption that the value of a company or an economic activity is equal to the current value of cash flows generated in the future. The equity value of a company or an economic activity is therefore equal to the sum of (i) the value of the expected cash flows discounted to present value and (ii) a terminal value of the company or of the economic activity, net of (iii) net financial debt, third parties interests and any further adjustments.
$$
W = \sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{FC_t}{(1 + WACC)^t} + \frac{VT}{(1 + WACC)^n} - DF_{t0}
$$
Where:
W = value of economic capital FCt = annual cash flow expected in period t VT = Terminal value DFt0 = Net financial debt, third parties interests and other adjustments at t moment equal to 0 n = Number of periods of projection WACC = Weighted average cost of capital
The terminal value is the value of the company or of the economic activity subject to evaluation at the end of the projections period.
Upon calculation of the terminal value, with the purpose of reflecting the peculliarity of the acitivities under valuation (i.e. geographical, technological and regulatory), different methods where used such as the so called perpetual growth, the so called annuity (growth for a determined time interval) and the reference to the Regulated Asset Base (in case of regulated activities).
The terminal value obtained has been then dealt with as an additional cash flow and therefore used as all the ohter cash flows, at the weighted average cost of capital.
The weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average (on the basis of the financial structure of the company or of the economic activity) of the cost of the financing methods used (risk capital and debt capital, net of tax effects):
$$
WACC = Kd(1-t)\frac{D}{D+E} + Ke\frac{E}{D+E}
$$
Where: Kd = Cost of debt Ke = Cost of risk capital D = Debt capital E = Risk capital t = Tax rate
In particular, the cost of debt capital used is the rate of long-term financing applicable to companies or economic activities with a similar risk, net of tax effect. The cost of risk capital reflects instead the return expected by the investor, taking into account the risk relative to the investment, calculated on the basis of the theory of the so-called Capital Asset Pricing Model through the following formula:
$$
K_{\epsilon} = R_f + \beta (R_m - R_f)
$$
Rf = Expected rate of return on risk-free investments - = Coefficient that measures the correlation between the expected returns on the considered investment and the expected performance of the stock market of reference Rm = Average return expected on equity investments in the stock market of reference (Rm - Rf) = Return required by the stock market of reference (Rm) compared to risk-free investments (Rf).
In order to determine the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) EGP Directors identified specific parameters useful for country and business unit (generation, distribution and selling of electricity) in function of the specific characteristics of the assets under valuation.
EGP Board of Directors reports to have used the DCF evaluation method in order to capture the specificities of EGP and Enel in terms of profitability, growth, risk level and capital structure.
5.5.2 The Stock Market prices method as the main method
According to the EGP Directors Report, the Stock Market prices method enables the economic value of a company to be ascertained from the value attributed to it by the stock market in which the company's shares are traded.
The method consists of valuing the shares of a company on the basis of the market price at a certain date, or the average price of the shares recorded on the stock market where the shares are traded over certain time periods.
In this case EGP Directors point out that the choice of the time period over which to calculate the average price must enable a balance to be reached between the mitigation of any short-term volatility (which would make a longer time horizon preferable) and the need to reflect the most recent market conditions and the situation of the company to be valued (which could favour the most recent prices). Moreover, the time period selected should only include prices that are not influenced by news of the potential transaction or other information in the public domain ("undisturbed").
With regard to the application of the Stock Exchange valuation method, EGP Directors Report shows that, both for Enel and EGP, the prices were not taken into consideration after October 26th, 2015, that is the last day of the open market before the joint press release of the Companies by which, following press leaks, the latter made known to the market that a possible corporate merger of EGP's business within Enel was under consideration.
The application of the Stock Market prices method enabled EGP Directors to identify the minimum and maximum price of EGP and Enel shares in the twelve months before October 26th, 2015.
With reference to EGP only, at the time of the market price analyses, EGP Directors also considered the premiums, compared to the market prices, paid out in specific merger transactions between a company operating in renewable energy and the respective parent company (specifically, EDF / EDF Energie Nouvelles and Iberdrola / Iberdrola Renovables). EGP Directors Report shows how the premiums seen in these transactions were applied to the undisturbed market prices, measured over certain time horizons, and how a price range for EGP shares was calculated that was then compared to the closing price of Enel shares recorded on October 26th, 2015, for the purpose of obtaining a range of exchange ratio values.
5.5.3 Analysis of the exchange ratio implicit in Enel and EGP target prices published by brokers and the main investment banks as a control method
This method consists in analysing the Target Price of the research analysts that cover EGP and Enel shares.
As with the analysis of stock market prices, the results deriving from the application of the method in question emerge from a different logical process to that applied to traditional valuation methods, that is, based on the explicit assumptions of the evaluator regarding the

expected future flows, the time scale and the level of risk to the current and perspective capital. EGP Directors nevertheless state that the analysis of the Target Price by the analysts is an indication of the value of a company whose shares are listed on the stock market, in that they complete the framework of valuation references.
As with the valuation approach adopted at the time of the application of the stock market methods, EGP's Directors did not consider the researches made available by brokers after October 26th, 2015, either in relation to Enel or EGP shares.
5.6. Summary of the results arising from the application of the valuation methods adopted by EGP Directors
The periods for the Exchange Ratio that EGP Directors obtained by applying the valuation methods described in the previous paragraphs are given below:
| Valuation Methods | Exchange ratio | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Maximum | |
| Discounted Cash Flow | 0.37 | 0.54 |
| Stock Market valuation | 0.38 | 0.51 |
| Stock Market valuation with reference to premiums in comparable transactions |
0.47 | 0.52 |
| Brokers target prices | 0.28 | 0.57 |
5.7 Valuation difficulties encountered by EGP Directors
In accordance with articles 2506-ter and 2501-quinquies of the Italian Civil Code for the purpose of carrying out the valuation analyses described above, EGP Directors report the following difficulties:
- the forecast data, the estimates and economic-financial projections used for the purposes of the respective valuations are, by their nature, uncertain as regards the effective predictability of the operating performance and expected future income, including possible variations in the context of reference;
- the high volatility of the current context in the financial markets, which are susceptible to significant changes with potential impact on some valuation amounts including, by way of example, the parameters used for the calculation of the WACC;
- the "sum of the parts" approach used in the DCF method made it necessary to carry out a complex allocation of certain economic, financial and equity amounts to the individual assets subject to valuation;
- trading in Enel and EGP shares displays a varying degree of liquidity, preventing the uniform application of the Stock Exchange valuation method;
- in applying the objective price method used for researches by financial analysts, the reports published before the approval of the new Enel Business Plan and the new EGP Business Plan and the estimates and expectations could be different, even significantly, compared to Enel and EGP Business Plans recently approved by the respective Boards of Directors;

the methods based on the stock market multiples or deriving from comparable transactions were not judged to be relevant since the innate comparability of the companies involved in the transaction is invalidated by differences that mostly concern the regulatory context, the duration and characteristics of incentives, the different geographical and technological mix and the development projects regarding installed capacity.
5.8 The Exchange Ratio
On the basis of the valuation methods described above, on November 17th, 2015 the Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP, considering the share values as determined above and the consequent range of share exchanges, after having examined and incorporated the valuations and the Fairness Opinion of the respective Advisors and, as with EGP, having taken note of the favourable reasoned opinion of the Related Parties Committee, approved the following Exchange Ratio between EGP shares and Enel shares, which is within all the valuation ranges indicated in the previous paragraphs 5.3 and 5.6:
0,486 Enel Shares with a nominal value of 1 euro for each EGP share with a nominal value of 0,20 euros.
No cash adjustments are envisaged.
6 WORK CARRIED OUT
In performing our task, we have carried out the procedures required for the correct exectuion of the task according to the consolidate practice, and in particular, we have:
- analysed the Demerger Plan and the respective attachments;
- carried out a critical reading of the Directors Reports, in addition to the Fairness Opinion and the Documents of the Advisors appointed by the Boards of Directors of Enel and EGP in order to check the uniformity of the procedures followed by the Company Directors in determining the Exchange Ratio, as well as the uniformity of the application of the valuation methods;
- analysed, on the basis of the discussions with the Management of the Companies and their respective Advisors, the work carried out by them to identify the Exchange Ratio determination criteria in order to confirm their suitability and that, under the circumstances, they are reasonable, justified and not arbitrary;
- confirmed, with the results given in this report, that the reasoning of the Directors of both Companies does not contradict the valuation methods adopted by them for the purpose of determining the Exchange Ratio;
- considered the elements required to ascertain that these methods were technically suitable, under the specific circumstances, for determining the Exchange Ratio;
- checked the consistency of the data used against the sources of reference and the documents used, described in the previous paragraph 4;
- checked the mathematical accuracy of the calculation of the ranges of exchange ratios identified by the Directors of the Companies by applying the valuation methods selected by them;

- carried out independent sensitivity analyses of the methods adopted by the Boards of Directors for the valuation of Enel and EGP, with the aim of checking how much the results could be influenced by variations in the valuation assumptions and the parameters used;
- carried out independent analyses on the trends in the stock market prices of Enel and EGP over different time periods, and checked the accuracy of the Directors calculations;
- through discussions with the Managements of the Companies and their respective Advisors, gathered information concerning events after the provision of the Reference Situations, and obtained specific, express representations that, as far as the administrative bodies were concerned, no significant variations had occurred, nor facts and circumstances that would make significant changes to the data and the information taken into consideration in conducting our analyses, nor did any events occur that would change the valuations of the Directors in determining the Exchange Ratio.
The aforementioned activities were carried out to the degree deemed necessary for the purposes of the engagement, indicated in the previous paragraph 3.
7. COMMENTS AND CLARIFICATIONS ON THE SUITABILITY OF THE VALUATION METHODS ADOPTED BY THE DIRECTORS TO DETERMINE THE SHARE EXCHANGE RATIO
With reference to this engagement, we consider it appropriate to underline that the main purpose of the Directors decision-making procedure was the estimate of the economic values regarding Enel and EGP, carried out through the application of uniform criteria for the purposes of obtaining values for comparison.
In the valuations for demerger transactions, in fact, the ultimate purpose is not so much the determination of the absolute values of the economic capital of the companies concerned, but rather the identification of values for comparison when determining the Exchange Ratio.
For this reason, the valuations for demerger transactions have significance as relative figures and cannot, by themselves, be taken as estimates of the absolute value of the companies with regard to the various operations.
The Directors accurately fixed the Exchange Ratio to be submitted to the approval of the respective Shareholders General Meetings, identifying it within the range of values determined with the aid of their respective Advisors.
The final determination of the Exchange Ratio by the Directors, considered also the contractual dynamics between the parties as underlined in the resolutions of the Boards of Directors of November 17th, 2015, set the level at 0,486 Enel shares for every 1 EGP shares. On said value the Advisors issued the fairness opinions and the Advisors Documents summarized in para. 4.
The Reports provided by Enel and EGP Directors to illustrate the Demerger transaction indicate the methods adopted by the same, with the aid of their respective Advisors, and the results obtained for each of these for the purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio.
In this regard, we express below our considerations on the suitability in terms of reasonableness and non-arbitrary nature of the valuation methods adopted by Enel's and EGP's in determining the Exchange Ratio, as well as their correct application.

-
- The overall methodological approach adopted by the Directors is in line with valuation practices and the prevailing professional technique. The valuation of Enel's and EGP's economic capital was carried out by the Boards of Directors for the specific purposes of the transaction in question, using commonly accepted methods that are widely shared in professional practice.
-
- In the application of the valuation methods selected by them, the Directors have properly considered the characteristics and limits implicit in each, on the basis of the professional valuation techniques normally followed both nationally and internationally.
-
- The Companies were valued using multiple methods, in accordance with an approach widely accepted in professional practice since it enables the estimated relative values for each Company to be verified. In particular, the adoption by the Directors of multiple methods enabled them to achieve considerable analytical coverage which led to the identification of a range of exchange ratios, also confirmed by the Fairness Opinion and the Advisors Documents.
-
- As mentioned, in consideration of the specific characteristics of the transactions, the Boards of Directors carried out valuations of the Companies from the perspective of expressing an estimation of their values, giving prominence to the uniformity and comparability of the criteria adopted. The valuation criteria selected by the Boards of Directors are therefore underpinned by a principle of uniform valuation that is able, at the same time, to consider the specific characteristics of the individual companies involved. In this context, the choice made by the Boards of Directors appears, under the circumstances, to be reasonable and not arbitrary.
-
- The valuation of Enel and EGP were carried out by the Directors from a standalone point of view, that is, irrespective of any considerations concerning the impact of any operational, financial or other kind of benefit expected from the Demerger. These possible benefits, while susceptible to generating incremental value, do not influence the definition of the relative value of the Companies for the purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio. This choice was reasonable and appears to be in line with the consolidated guidance of the best corporate doctrine and with the established practice for this type of transaction.
-
- In the case in point, Enel Directors decided to use several methods (the Stock Market valuation method, the DCF method with the sum-of-the-parts approach and the financial analysts target prices method), giving them equal weight, which removed the need to identify criteria of relative importance, or the use of verification methods. EGP Directors instead decided to use, for each of the companies being valued, two main methods (DCF with the sum-of-the-parts approach and the Stock Market valuation method) and a verification method (financial analysts target prices method). Both approaches seem reasonable and are used equally in professional valuation practice.
-
- The choice of the Directors of both Companies to adopt, for the purposes of their respective valuations, both economic-analytical criteria and market criteria, appears reasonable and not arbitrary under the circumstances. The analytical type and market methods are currently the most widely applied, in consideration both of the solidity and consistency of the underlying theoretical principles and the greater familiarity among investors, experts and international observers.

-
- The use by the Directors of the DCF method to value both Companies is in line with current practices and professional technique. The DCF method is widely used in international corporate practice and is one of the methods based on forecast cash flows, recognised by the academic commentators and the generally accepted valuation principles. In this regard, a summary of the theoretical characteristics of the valuation method in question and the choices made for the identification of certain parameters are given in the Reports of both Boards of Directors. The Directors' decisions in this regard were checked by us, including on the basis of the detailed documentation made available by the Directors and their respective Advisors, and were appropriate from a technical and logical point of view.
-
- The DCF method was applied by both Boards of Directors based on the so-called sum-ofthe-parts criterion ("SOTP"): the value of the economic capital of each of the two Companies was therefore determined by the Directors as the sum of the values of its individual assets, regarded as independently valued economic entities. The valuation of the various economic entities was then carried out by the Directors through the provision of appropriate DCFs for each of them, using various assumptions and WACC and Terminal Value estimates, in line with the profile of the individual assets. This approach, often adopted for the valuation of companies operating in various areas of business or asset classes since it enables the respective specificities to be fully taken into account, appears appropriate and in compliance with the principles laid down by the best academic commentators. Enel and EGP Directors and their respective Advisors used a timescale of ten years for the projections in the Business Plan, adopting a uniform approach in the application of DCF to both Companies.
-
- The reference to the Stock Market valuation method, identified by the Directors of both Companies as the main method, is commonly accepted and used at the national and international level, and is in line with the established professional practice, when dealing with companies whose shares are listed on regulated markets. In effect, the Stock Market prices are usually an essential parameter for the valuation of listed companies. The stock market prices, in fact, in an efficient market, express the value assigned by the market to the shares being traded and consequently provide significant indications concerning the value of the company to which the shares refer, since they reflect the information available to analysts and investors, as well as their expectations for the economic and financial progress of the company.
-
- In applying the stock market method to the case in point, the Directors of the two Companies used values found over time periods of different lengths, starting with reference dates preceding those of the respective Reports. Enel Board of Directors analysed the trend in Enel and EGP shares over various time periods before October 1st, 2015 (the date when Enel Board of Directors resolved to start the process of analysis and study of the operation) and October 27th, 2015 (the date of the joint press release of the Companies following the spreading of rumours on the market concerning a possible Demerger or similar operation). In turn, EGP Board of Directors analysed the trend in Enel and EGP shares over different time periods before October 27th, 2015, the date of the aforementioned joint press release by the Companies. The choice of the Directors to conduct their analyses over different time periods using different reference dates in order to consider only so-called undisturbed time periods, and so not influenced by news of the operation spreading around the market, appears in line with the best academic commentators and valuation practices and should therefore be considered reasonable and not arbitrary.
-
- From the perspective of the length of the time periods taken as reference for the purpose of finding the average Stock Market price, it is emphasised that the Directors of the Companies took different approaches.
-
- Specifically, Enel's Directors took as reference the implicit exchange ratios found daily on the basis of the respective Enel and EGP share prices on the Stock Market. These implicit exchange ratios were observed (i) as accurate values on the days of September 30th, 2015 and October 26th 2015; (ii) as averages at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months starting from the dates indicated in (i); (iii) as averages, starting from the dates indicated in (i) at the date of EGP's listing in November 2010. For information, the values of the implicit exchange ratio found by the Directors over the aforementioned time periods are given in the table below:
| Date of reference | Peak | 1 month average |
3 month average |
6 month average |
12 month average |
Average from IPO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 September 2015 | 0.42x | 0.42x | 0.43x | 0.42x | 0.44x | 0.49x |
| 26 October 2015 | 0.44x | 0.43x | 0.43x | 0.42x | 0.44x | 0.49x |
The lower (0.42x) and higher (0.49x) values among those found in the aforementioned surveys, shown in grey in the above table, were identified by Enel's Directors as the limits of the Exchange Ratio range with regard to the Stock Market valuation method.
The choice of ENEL's Directors with regard to these reference periods, indubitably broad compared to those usually found in professional practice, especially the upper part of the range, was justified by the need to neutralise any short-term fluctuations in the level of the prices of the two shares, giving at the same time suitable importance to the prices in more recent trading. Enel's Directors, in fact, deemed that the entire time period was relevant for the purpose of identifying the Exchange Ratio range, starting from November 2010 when EGP's listing began. In our opinion, this decision can reasonably be attributed, under the circumstances, to the need to consider the effects of the Demerger with regard to EGP's shareholders, other than Enel, taking account of the original IPO.
-
- With reference to the methods selected by EGP's Directors as part of the Stock Market valuation method, it is noted that they observed the trends in the official price of Enel and EGP shares over the 12 months before October 27th, 2015. On the outcome of the analysis, Directors took as reference the minimum (0.38x) and maximum (0.51x) values of the implicit exchange ratios recorded daily over the aforementioned time period of reference. The choice of method by EGP Directors with the aid of their Advisors is commonly found in valuation practices for these types of transactions and is also justified on the basis of the need to reach a balance between mitigation of any short-term volatility, which would make a longer timescale preferable, and the need to reflect the most recent market conditions and the situation of the company to be valued, which would favour the most recent prices.
-
- With reference solely to the valuation of EGP, as part of the analysis of the market prices, EGP Directors decided to consider also the premiums, compared to the market prices same, paid out in two previously selected transactions deemed comparable with the one in question, as the results of a merger between the company operating in the renewable energy sector and the respective parent company with diversified assets in the energy sector (specifically, EDF / EDF Energie Nouvelles and Iberdrola / Iberdrola Renovables). EGP Directors applied the premiums seen in these transactions to the undisturbed market prices of EGP shares measured over time periods of 1 (premiums found by the Advisors Mediobanca and Barclays respectively of 13.1% - 13.3%) and 12 months (premiums found respectively of 27.1% - 21.3%) The price range obtained by applying the premiums

to EGP share was compared with the closing price of Enel shares recorded on October 26th, 2015, enabling EGP Directors to identify a range of Exchange Ratio values between 0.47x and 0.52x.
-
- The method of the objective prices expressed by financial analysts belongs to the market criteria and enables the value and attraction of a company to be appreciated on the basis of the information available to the market at the time of the valuation about the company and its sector of reference. As mentioned, Enel Directors gave equal importance to the method in question and the other methods used (DCF and Stock Market valuation). EGP Directors, on the other hand, used the objective price method as a verification method. In the specific case, the choice of both Enel and EGP Directors to use, with reference to the Companies, only the reports of analysts published before October 26th, 2015, and so not influenced by rumours about the transaction, appears reasonable, justified and not arbitrary.
-
- The sensitivity analysis drawn up by us to assess the impact of variations in the different valuation assumptions and the parameters used as part of the methods adopted by the Directors, as well as the analysis of the accuracy, including mathematical, of their application, confirm the reasonableness and non-arbitrary nature of the results obtained by the Directors.
-
- As regards the additional methods that the Directors decided could not be used in the case in point, the Reports provide appropriate explanations. Enel Directors expressly state that they did not take into consideration, as part of their valuation process, the method of market multiples, which consists in applying to the company a series of multipliers implicit in the market value of comparable listed companies. This decision was justified since this method was not considered relevant or sufficiently reliable, given the limited comparability of the Companies with other listed operators, as well as in consideration of the significant presence of minority shareholders as regards Enel. EGP Directors, in turn, justified the lack of consideration, for the purposes of their valuation process, both of the stock market multiples method, and the additional method of multiples of comparable transactions (on the basis of which, as is well known, the multiples are drawn from acquisition transactions involving companies of comparable sizes and characteristics). EGP Directors attributed their choice to the fact that the innate comparability of the Companies was deemed to have been influenced by differences mainly concerning the regulatory contexts, duration and characteristics of the incentives, the different geographical and technological mix and the development plans with regard to the installed capacity. The decisions of the Directors, therefore, appear justified and not arbitrary under the specific circumstances.
In line with current practices for this type of transaction, on the basis of the ranges resulting from the different methods developed respectively, the Exchange Ratio that will be proposed to the respective Shareholders General Meetings (equal to 0.486 Enel shares for every 1 EGP share) was defined by the Directors of the Companies, also taking account of the negotiation phase between the parties. The Exchange Ratio, subject of this opinion, places itself generally in the high band of ranges identified through the application of each of the selected methods and remains within the ratios ranges identified both by Enel and EGP Directors. This is a further confirmation, in terms of reasonableness and non-arbitrariness, of the adequacy, under the circumstances, of the considerations of this paragraph.

8. SPECIFIC LIMITS ENCOUNTERED BY THE AUDITOR AND ANY OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS ARISEN IN CARRYING OUT THE ENGAGEMENT
- i) With regard to the difficulties and limits encountered in carrying out our engagement, attention is drawn to the following:
-
- The valuations by the Boards of Directors, through the application of the DCF method are based on economical and balance sheet forecasts taken from the Companies' business plans. It must be emphasised that the forecast data and assumptions used by the Directors for the purposes of their work, by their nature, contain elements of uncertainty, also due to the prolonged period of projection, and are subject to variations, also significant, in the event of any changes in the market context of the macroeconomic scenario and the legislative and regulatory framework of reference in the sector. It should also be noted that, due to the uncertainty connected to the realisation of any future event, both as regards the event actual occurrence and the degree and time of its occurrence, the deviation between the final values and the forecast data could be significant, even if the assumed events forecasted actually occur.
-
- The application of the DCF method with the "sum of the parts" approach required the used of economic, financial and balance sheet data concerning the individual business areas or the countries in which the involved companies operate, making difficult to allocate the items to the individual business units /countries and some estimates.
-
- The valuations based on methods that use variables and market parameters, such as the stock market valuation method and the target prices expressed by analysts, are subject to the trends of the financial markets. The performance of the financial markets, both Italian and international, tends to display significant oscillations over time, especially with regard to the uncertainty in the general economic framework. The trend of the shares may also be influenced by speculative pressure, upward or downward, entirely unconnected with the economic and financial perspectives of the individual companies. The application of market methods can identify, therefore, different values, to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the time when the valuation is made.
-
- In determining the Exchange Ratio, subject of this opinion, the Directors did not use, either for the purpose of the main methods or as a verification, the market multiples method or the multiples of comparable transactions since the Directors deemed them inapplicable in the case in point. In the Directors Reports, the reasons for these methodological choices are explained, already examined in the previous paragraph 7.
-
- The Directors Reports do not directly illustrate the analytical details regarding the different parameters used for the development of the various methods and the ranges of unit values of Enel and EGP found by the application of each of the selected methods. These elements and details were, however, made available to us, in accordance with professional practice, by the Directors and Advisors among the overall documentation requested by us and used in carrying out the work.
- ii) Attention is also drawn to the following important aspects:
-
- The effectiveness of the Demerger depends on the overall liquidation value of EGP shares, in relation to which the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale may be validly exercised, being no higher than 300.000.000,00 euros. According to the Directors

Reports, this suspensive condition will likewise be met also if the abovementioned limit will be exceeded, should Enel, within 60 calendar days from the registration with Rome Companies Register of the last Shareholders General Meeting resolutions of approval of the Demerger under article 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declare its intention to proceed with the acquisition of all the shares for which the aforementioned rights were exercised.
-
- The Demerger will be submitted to the Shareholders General Meetings of Enel and EGP, based on the financial situations of the Companies at September 30th, 2015, attached to the Demerger Plan. The Directors Reports state that the balance sheet assets and liabilities and the legal relations included in the Demerger Perimeter will be those actually in existence at the date of validity of the Demerger, therefore also including the variations that will occur as a consequence of the company's operating dynamic, from the date of reference of the financial situation at September 30th, 2016 to the date of effect of the Demerger. Any differences in consistency of these elements and relations in the Demerger Perimeter between September 30th, 2015 and the date of validity of the Demerger will lead to the registration of receivable/payable entries, between the demerged companies and the beneficiary company.
-
- The Directors report that for EGP the Demerger amounts to a relevant transaction with related parties, in accordance with the OPC Regulations and the procedure on transactions with EGP related parties. Therefore, EGP Board of Directors approved the Demerger Plan, thanks to a previous favourable opinion of the EGP Related Parties Committee on the interest of the latter in the completion of the transactions, as well as the advisability and substantial fairness of the respective terms and conditions. On November 24th, 2015, EGP published the respective "Information document on transactions of major importance with related parties" drawn up in accordance with article 5 of the OPC Regulations, including the opinions of the EGP Related Parties Committee and the OPC Advisors Committee, summarised in the previous paragraph 4. As regards Enel, on the other hand, the Directors state that the Demerger, although carried out with a related party, was deemed to be exempt from the application of the appropriate procedure for the regulation of transactions with Enel related parties since the transaction was carried out with a subsidiary company in which there are no significant interests of other related parties, in accordance with article 14, paragraph 2 of the OPC Regulations and article 13.3, letter d), of the procedure on transactions with Enel related parties. Any consideration regarding the decisions of the Directors about the applicability of the regulations on transactions with related parties in the case in point is obviously beyond the scope of our work and our opinion; also the interest of the Companies in carrying out the transaction and the substantial fairness of the respective terms and conditions are beyond the scope of our opinion.
-
- Any consideration regarding the determination of the Directors of the structure of the transaction, the respective obligations and the launch and execution of the operation itself is also beyond the scope of our work.
-
- As mentioned in the previous paragraph 2, the Demerger will lead to the allocation of the Demerger Perimeter to Enel which, on the date of validity of the Demerger, will increase its share capital by a maximum of 1.769.040.000,00 shares in favour of EGP's shareholders. These shares will then be issued as contribution in kind of the Demerger Perimeter, which, in compliance with the provisions of article 2506-ter, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code, was subject to valuation by KPMG S.p.A. as expert in compliance with

the provisions of article 2343-ter para. 2, lett. b) of the Italian Civil Code. In accordance with the aforementioned regulations, the amount of Enel capital increase for the Exchange Ratio may not be higher than the value attributed to the Demerger Perimeter by the valuation report of this expert. We believe it is advisable to point out that the purpose of this opinion is solely to give our considerations on the suitability, in terms of reasonableness and non-arbitrariness, under the circumstances, of the criteria adopted by the Directors to determine the Exchange Ratio, as well as the correct application of the aforementioned criteria. Any consideration regarding the methods described in the paragraph "Valuation methods used for the purpose of the valuation of the Demerger Perimeter" and in the paragraph "Valuation methods used for the purpose of determining the value of the Demerger Perimeter and the percentage ratio between the value of the Demerger Perimeter and Enel Green Power (before the demerger)" included in the Reports of both companies Directors, is consequently beyond the scope of this opinion, as well as the actual methods of application, that have been, on the contrary, considered by the expert identified in accordance with article 2343-ter para. 2, lett. b) of the Italian of the Civil Code.
-
- The Directors Reports do not mention any time constraints on the availability of newlyissued Enel shares, with the consequent full right of each EGP shareholder, following the delivery of the new Enel shares on the completion of the Demerger, to trade the aforementioned shares at the market prices existing at the time of the respective negotiation.
-
- There are no increases in share capital already resolved by Enel and EGP for either stock option plans or the issue of warrants or bonds convertible into shares of the Company.
- iii) Attention is also drawn to the following assumptions on which this opinion is based:
- the valuations by the Directors are based on the assumption that, for each of the Companies involved in the Demerger, no events, facts or acts have occurred that would significantly change the economic and financial profile of the same, and the respective valuations, in the period between the date of the last statutory and consolidated financial statements available and the date of the Director Reports. This opinion is based on the assumption same and on its continuation until the date of the decisions of the shareholders in the respective General Meetings concerning the Demerger, called for January 11th, 2016.
-
- The valuations by the Directors do not consider the possible exercise of the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale by EGP shareholders who do not agree with the relevant resolutions and their possible effects and future impacts, since these are currently deemed not to be quantifiable by the Directors. This opinion assumes that any exercise of these rights would have no effect on the Exchange Ratio.

9. CONCLUSIONS
On the basis of the documents examined and the aforementioned procedures, considering the nature and extent of our work as illustrated in this report, as well as the indications given in the previous paragraph 8, we believe that the valuation methods adopted by the Companies' Directors, with the aid of the respective Advisors, were suitable and, under the circumstances, reasonable and not arbitrary and that they were applied for the purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio of 0,486 Enel S.p.A. shares with a nominal value of 1 euro for every 1 share of Enel Green Power S.p.A. with a nominal value of 0,20 euros. No cash adjustments are envisaged.

Milan, 17 November 2015
To: Enel Green Power S.p.A. Viale Regina Margherita 125 00198 Rome Italy
For the attention of: the Board of Directors
At a Board meeting held today on 17 November 2015, the Directors of Enel Green Power S.p.A. ("EGP", or the "Company") adopted a resolution approving the partial non-pro rata demerger of EGP in favour of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel"), pursuant to Article 2506-bis, para. 4, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Demerger" and/or the "Transaction"). Enel is the parent company of EGP with a stake of 68.29%.
According to the demerger plan drawn up in accordance with Article 2506ff of the Italian Civil Code (the "Demerger Plan"), the Demerger involves the beneficiary company Enel being assigned virtually all the non-Italian subsidiaries and financial assets of EGP (the "Combined Demerged Assets"), while EGP will retain the Italian assets and the remaining non-Italian investments.
The Demerger entails newly-issued shares in the beneficiary company Enel being allocated on a non-pro rata basis to EGP shareholders on the basis of an exchange ratio established as of today, 17 November 2015, at 0.486 Enel shares for every ordinary EGP share (the "Exchange Ratio"). Accordingly, as at the date on which the Demerger becomes effective, the share of the EGP share capital corresponding to the Combined Demerged Assets will be exchanged as follows: the shareholders of EGP other than Enel will exchange all shares held by them in EGP; (ii) Enel will exchange only part of the shares it holds in EGP corresponding to the total number of EGP shares tendered in exchange minus the EGP tendered in exchange by EGP shareholders other than Enel.
In particular: i) the EGP shareholders other than Enel will be allocated newly-issued Enel shares – ranking for dividends pari passu – based on application of the Exchange Ratio, with the EGP shares held by them being cancelled simultaneously; ii) a number of shares deriving from application of the Exchange Ratio will be issued to Enel – and simultaneously cancelled pursuant to Article 2504-ter, para. 2, of the Italian Civil Code, without ever actually being allocated – in return for the EGP shares held by Enel, corresponding to the number of EGP shares forming part of the Combined Demerged Assets net of those attributable to EGP shareholders other than Enel.
In order to calculate the number of EGP shares forming part of the Combined Demerged Assets attributable to Enel and the EGP shareholders other than Enel respectively, the Board of Directors of EGP has adopted a non-pro rata allocation criterion for the newly-issued Enel shares to be allocated to EGP shareholders, deriving from a ratio based on the Combined Demerged Assets as a percentage of the total value of the entire EGP shareholding prior to the Demerger.
As a result of the Transaction, Enel will be the sole shareholder of the demerged EGP, and EGP will be delisted from the markets on which it is listed.
The Demerger is being approved on the basis of the financial situations of EGP and Enel as at 30 September 2015, approved by the Boards of Directors of EGP and Enel on 12 November 2015.
By virtue of the de jure control exercised over EGP by Enel, for EGP the Transaction constitutes a "transaction of major importance" between related parties as defined in Consob regulation no. 17221/10 and in the EGP procedure in respect of transactions with related parties (the "EGP Procedure"). The Transaction is therefore subject to the authorization process set forth in the EGP Procedure for transactions of this type.
In connection with the Transaction, EGP has granted Mediobanca – Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A. ("Mediobanca") a mandate (the "Mandate") which provides, among other things, for the issue of a fairness opinion (the "Opinion") to the Board of Directors of EGP on the fairness from a financial standpoint of the Exchange Ratio.
The Opinion is addressed exclusively to the Company's Board of Directors within the scope of its decisional process regarding the Transaction as represented in the Demerger Plan and is based on the assumption that the Transaction is implemented on terms and conditions which do not differ significantly from those represented therein. In particular, the Opinion is based on the assumptions set forth in Section 2.2.
The Opinion has been drawn up by Mediobanca for internal and exclusive use by the Company's Board of Directors who may use it in connection with its own decisions within the limits and terms contained in the Opinion. Accordingly, the Opinion: (i) should not be published or disclosed, in whole or in part, to third parties or used for purposes other than those set forth in the Opinion itself, without the prior written authorization of Mediobanca or unless requested by law or regulations or requests made specifically by the relevant authorities, without prejudice to the authorization to publish a full copy (not an excerpt) of the Opinion as an attachment to the information document which the Company will publish under the terms of the Consob regulations applicable to the Transaction; (ii) is addressed exclusively to the Company's Board of Directors, hence no-one, with the exception of the recipients of the Opinion, is authorized to rely on the contents of the Opinion, and accordingly every judgement by third parties, including the EGP shareholders, regarding the quality and appropriateness of the Transaction shall be exclusively their own responsibility. In particular, the Opinion expresses the judgement and valuation of Mediobanca exclusively in relation to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio from a financial standpoint; it does not express any and should not be interpreted as judgement or opinion regarding the interest for the Company to the Transaction and the convenience and substantial fairness of the conditions thereof.
It should be noted that Mediobanca is acting as financial advisor and that for this reason it has not provided and is not providing any advice of a legal, accounting, tax, industrial environmental, actuarial and/or technical nature (such instances not to be construed restrictively). Any power on the part of the financial advisor to restrict or otherwise condition in any way the Company's Board of Directors in its own decisions regarding the Transaction is hereby expressly excluded, and the Opinion is based on the assumption that the Demerger and the terms and conditions thereof shall be assessed by the members of the Company's Board of Directors in independence of judgement.
Mediobanca shall receive remuneration in accordance with the Mandate which is not conditional upon the Transaction being consummated. It should also be noted that:
-
having carried out the necessary enquiries, Mediobanca believes it has no earnings, capital and/or financial relations with: (i) EGP, (ii) the parties controlling it, the companies controlled by EGP or subject to joint control, or the directors of the companies listed under points (i) and (ii) above, which could compromise the independence and autonomy of judgement of Mediobanca;
-
Mediobanca is part of a leading banking group, the companies of which are involved in a wide range of financial transactions, on a proprietary basis and on behalf of their clients. Accordingly, it is possible that other Group companies or certain Group clients may enter into agreements or hold equity investments or other securities issued by Enel or Enel Green Power. Nonetheless, appropriate internal procedures have been put in place to monitor and manage potential conflicts of interest, to ensure that the financial advisory activities are provided independently of, and managed separately from, the activities mentioned above;
- in the normal course of its activities and services, Mediobanca currently provides Enel, the parent company of EGP, with advisory services in connection with acquisitions, ownership structure reorganizations and participates in lending transactions, and in the past two years Mediobanca has provided advisory and debt capital market services in particular to Enel;
- it is felt than none of the circumstances mentioned above, in accordance with the Mediobanca "Policy in respect of managing conflicts of interest", compromises Mediobanca's independence vis-à-vis the Transaction.
The valuations made refer to the economic and financial situations of EGP and Enel as identified in the information made available to Mediobanca, of which Mediobanca has not carried out any independent review. The Opinion necessarily refers, given the valuation criteria used, to the economic and market conditions prevailing as at 13 November 2015. Mediobanca has based its analysis on the fact that in the period between the most recent economic and financial situations available and the date of the Opinion, no material change has taken place in the economic and and financial situations of Enel and EGP. Without prejudice to the foregoing, and in general, it is hereby understood that subsequent developments in market conditions, as is the case with all the Information referred to in the terms and conditions of the Transaction, could impact even significantly on the Opinion's conclusions. Accordingly, Mediobanca does not accept and shall not be under any duty or responsibility to update or revise the Opinion or reconfirm its conclusions as stated herein, including in the event of one or more of the changes referred to above occurring.
The conclusions stated in the Opinion are based on the set of considerations contained herein, and for this reason no part of the Opinion may be used separately from the Opinion as a whole. Partial use of the contents of the Opinion and/or use of the same for purposes other than those for which the Opinion was prepared may lead to wrong interpretation, even to a significant degree, of all the considerations contained in the Opinion and/or its conclusion. Under no circumstances may the valuations contained in the Opinion be considered in a scenario other than the one referred to herein. In particular, the Opinion and the conclusions contained therein do not constitute the provision of investment services and activities pursuant to Italian legislative decree 58/98, as amended. The Opinion does not constitute an offering to the public or advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial product.
The valuations stated in the Opinion have been carried out on a stand-alone and going concern basis, hence the results of the analysis take no account whatsoever of possible operating synergies and/or the tax and/or accounting and/or financial and/or operational effects of the Transaction. The Opinion also contains assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by Mediobanca, inter alia with reference to Italian and international practice, and determined on the basis of the Information.
Furthermore, it should also be noted that the valuation analysis has been carried out solely for the purpose of valuating the fairness, forma a financial stand point of the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, in the Opinion Mediobanca does not express any judgement regarding: (i) the economic value and/or market price, pre- or post-Transaction, which EGP post Demerger, the Combined Demerged Assets and/or Enel could have in the future or in a different scenario from the one under review herein, including in the assumption of the Transaction being executed on different terms and conditions from those proposed in the Demerger Plan, nor may anything contained in the Opinion be considered now or in the future as a guarantee or indication of the future earnings, capital and financial prospects of EGP post Demerger, the Combined Demerged Assets and/or Enel; or (ii) the financial situation and/or solvency of EGP post-Demerger, the Combined Demerged Assets and/or Enel. Mediobanca therefore disclaims all liability, direct and/or indirect, for damages which could be caused byimproper and/or partial use of the information contained in the Opinion.
1. Documentation used
In performing the Mandate and compiling the Opinion, Mediobanca has referred to the information available in the public domain considered relevant for the purposes of applying the various valuation methodologies selected, to the documents, data and information provided by EGP and Enel (via EGP), including in the course of meetings with the management, and/or by third parties on their behalf (jointly, the "Information"), including the following documents (the "Relevant Documentation"):
- a) the Demerger Plan and the draft Directors' reports submitted to the Board's approval today;
- b) Enel and EGP statutory and consolidated financial statements for FY 2014;
- c) Enel and EGP consolidated interim and quarterly financial statements as at 30 June 2015 and 30 September 2015 respectively;
- d) EGP 2016-20 business plan approved by the Board of Directors of EGP on 12 November 2015 (the "EGP Business Plan");
- e) Enel 2016-20 business plan approved by the Board of Directors of Enel on 12 November 2015 (the "Enel Business Plan", and, jointly with the EGP Business Plan, the "Business Plans");
- f) detailed information prepared by the Enel and EGP management for FY 2016-20 regarding the key capital, earnings/financial and operating indicators of the respective groups (including splits for the main divisions/geographies), along with an indication of the main hypotheses and assumptions used;
- g) detailed information prepared by the Enel and EGP management on the key capital, earnings/financial and operating indicators of the respective groups (including splits for the main divisions/geographies) for FY 2015 ("pre-closing");
- h) long-term earnings/financial and operating projections prepared by the management of Enel and EGP for the years 2021-25 subsequent to the period covered by the respective Business Plans;
- i) data on net debt and other equity items as at 30 September 2015 used to estimate the value of the economic capital, starting from the Enterprise Value ("bridge-to-equity"), including the allocation among the various countries and business units;
- j) Information regarding the number of Enel and EGP shares as at the date of the Opinion;
- k) Enel and EGP shares' stock market performance over varying time horizons;
- l) equity research and financial analysis on Enel and EGP published by brokers and investment banks;
- m) the terms and stock market performances of the companies involved in select previous deals deemed to be comparable to the Transaction.

Further enquiries have been carried out with the EGP management and also, with the EGP management in attendance, the Enel management with a view to obtaining clarifications regarding the principal assumptions underlying the earnings/financial projections contained in the Business Plans, on the accounting and financial reporting methodologies, and on the expected performances of Enel and EGP and the reference sector.
In performing the Mandate, preparing the Opinion and all the analysis carried out, Mediobanca has:
- (i) relied on (a) the truthfulness, completeness and accuracy of the Information used, including the Relevant Documentation, without carrying directly or indirectly any independent review, enquiry and/or analysis thereof, and (b) the fact that no undisclosed data, Information or facts exist, the omission of which would make the Information misleading;
- (ii) relied on (a) the legal, accounting, tax and technical aspects of the Transaction as stated in the Information and the Relevant Documentation, and (b) the fact that the Business Plans and any other detailed earnings/capital projections regarding Enel and/or EGP received by Mediobanca have been prepared on the basis of assumption which are reasonable and which reflect the most accurate estimates possible made by the management in relation to the future development of the business and the economic and financial results of the companies involved in the Transaction.
Accordingly, Mediobanca disclaims all liability regarding the truthfulness, completeness and accuracy of the Information used in its analysis and in order to draft and prepare the Opinion.
2. Principal difficulties and limitations of the valuation and the assumptions underlying the Opinion
2.1 Principal difficulties and limitations of the valuation
The limits and principal difficulties involved in the valuation include the following aspects:
- 1) the pre-closing data and estimates and earnings/financial projections used for the purpose of making the valuations reflect, by their very nature, a degree of uncertainty, the change in which could thus impact, even significantly, on the results of the valuations. The companies being valued also operate in a sector influenced by the trend in the reference energy scenario and by the legislative and regulatory framework: the principal assumptions underlying the Business Plans could therefore, inter alia in relation to variable nature of the current macroeconomic scenario and to possible changes in the legislative and regulatory framework, not materialize, which could therefore impact, even significantly, on the results of the valuations;
- 2) the "sum of the parts" approach used in the Discounted Cash Flow method has required a complicated allocation of certain earnings, financial and capital ratios to the individual assets being valued;
- 3) in applying the methodology of the target prices indicated in the research produced by financial analysts, account was taken of the reports published prior to the approval of the new Business Plans, the estimates and expectations of which could differ, even significantly, from those contained in the Business Plans approved by the respective Boards of Directors on 12 November 2015.
2.2 Principal assumptions underlying the Opinion
In relation to the foregoing, it is hereby represented that for the purpose of preparing the Opinion, specific assumptions have been made regarding:
This is an unofficial courtesy translation only and is in no way legally binding. The original text in Italian remains the only authoritative version of this document
- a) the earnings/capital projections for the 2021-25 period issued and led by the management and reflected in the calculation of the Terminal Value in accordance with the guidance made available by the companies;
- b) the capability of the companies being valued to deliver on the earnings/financial projections contained in the Business Plans and the assumptions referred to above.
It should therefore be noted that if subsequent to the date on which the Opinion is issued, changes were to emerge compared to the assumptions set forth above, the conclusions of the Opinion itself may also change significantly. Mediobanca, as stated in the introduction, does not accept and shall not be under any duty or responsibility to update or revise the Opinion or reconfirm its conclusions as stated herein, including in the event of one or more of the changes referred to above occurring.
3. Valuation process carried out
3.1 Purpose of the Opinion: distinctive features of valuation
The conclusions set out in this Opinion must be considered as a whole. Such assessments should not be considered individually, but construed as an inseparable part of a single valuation process. Analysis of the results obtained from each methodology independently and not in the light of the complementary nature of the relationship created with the other criteria necessarily entails a loss of significance for the valuation process as a whole. Accordingly, under no circumstances may individual parts of the Opinion be used separately from the Opinion itself in its entirety.
3.2 Valuation process
3.2.1 Valuation methodologies
Taking into account, in addition to the Information available, the type of transaction, the reference sector in which the companies involved in the Transaction operate, the companies' individual characteristics and type of operations, and valuation practice in line with the national and international standards, the following methods have been identified.
Principal valuation methods used:
- a) discounted cash flow method, applying the "sum of the parts" criterion, and;
- b) the stock market performance method;
Control valuation methods used:
c) target price method for the Enel and EGP stocks published by financial analysts.
Methodologies based on stock market multiples or deriving from comparable transactions have been deemed to be not relevant, as the comparability of the companies involved in the transaction is marred by differences in the areas chiefly of regulatory scenario, duration and the nature of the incentives, the different mix of geographies and technologies, and development projects vs installed capacity.
3.2.2 Discounted cash flow
DCF is acknowledged in valuation theory and international practice as the most analytical valuation method and the only methodology out of those selected which is able to fully reflect the earnings/financial projections made available to Mediobanca.
The Discounted Cash Flow method, or DCF, expresses the "value of the company" (MV) as the difference between the net actualized value of its operating activities (EV), the market value of its net financial position (NFP), any minority interests (MINT), the staff severance indemnity provision (SSP), other significant provisions and deferred tax assets/liabilities.
The DCF methodology has been applied based on the sum-of-the-parts criterion, i.e. the value of the economic capital of each of the two companies has been calculated as the sum of the values of each of their individual assets, defined as economic entities able to be valued on a stand-alone basis.
The EV is equal to the sum of:
- the value of the "unlevered free cash flow" ("FCFun") for the explicit forecast period ("n") discounted at the "weighted average cost of capital" ("WACC") and
- the terminal value (or "TV"), representing the value of the company or economic activity being valued at the end of the projection period.
For the purpose of the Opinion, the 2015-20 time horizon has been used as the explicit period (with, for 2015 only the period subsequent to 30 September, the valuation date, being considered) (the "Explicit Period") based on the earnings/capital projections explicitly provided by the management of EGP and Enel, also projected over the 2021-25 based on specific guidance issued by the respective companies' management.
The foregoing may be summarized in notation form by the following formula:
$$
EV = \left[ \sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{FCF \text{ un}_t}{(1 + WACC)^{t}} + \frac{TV}{(1 + WACC)^{n}} \right]
$$
The WACC, or the "weighted average cost of capital", has been calculated based on a financial formula which takes into account the cost of debt, cost of equity and financial structure of the company, where the cost of equity is calculated based on the customary Capital Asset Pricing Model formula.
For the purposes of calculating the TV, with the objective of reflecting the peculiar features of the assets being valued (e.g. their geographical, technological and regulatory characteristics, various methodologies have been used, such as perpetual growth, the "annuity" method (i.e. growth over a given time range), and reference has been made to the Regulated Asset Base (for the regulated activities).
The terminal value thus obtained was then treated as though it were additional cash flow and discounted along with the other cash flows, at the average weighted cost of capital. A sensitivity analysis of the average weighted cost of capital was performed, in order to establish the valuation range.
To determine the equity value of EGP and Enel, the EV has been adjusted for the following items as at 30 September 2015: (i) net financial debt, (ii) minority interests, (iii) staff severance indemnity position, (iv) provisions for risks and charges (chiefly environmental and redundancy incentives) and (v) deferred tax assets/liabilities.
Based on the results obtained from applying the DCF method, the Exchange Ratio is defined as being in range of between 0.38 and 0.53 ordinary Enel Shares for each EGP share.
3.2.3 Stock market performance method
For companies listed on the stock market, best practice recommends considering stock market prices as relevant information for the purpose of estimating the economic value of such companies, utilizing their market capitalization as calculated on the basis of prices recorded during periods of time considered to be significant.
In this particular case, it was deemed appropriate to apply this methodology by adopting the following criteria: (i) use of the arithmetical averages of official stock market prices weighted by volumes; (ii) use of reference period of 1 month, 3 month, 6 months and 1 year prior to 27 October 2015, the day on which the first press release on the Transaction was issued. In this way the time range chosen should only include prices not influenced by rumours regarding the Transaction.
For EGP alone, with reference to analysis of market prices, account was also taken of the premiums paid relative to market prices in select deals considered to be comparable to the Transaction under review, in the sense that they derive from combinations between companies operating in the renewable energies sector and their respective parent companies with diversified activities in the energy sector.
It should be noted that the premiums recorded in these deals were applied to "undisturbed" (unaffected) market prices measured over given time horizons, delivering a price range for the EGP share which was then related to the closing price for Enel shares recorded on 26 October 2015, in order to obtain a range of Exchange Ratio values.
Based on application of the stock market performance method, the following results were obtained:
- (i) an Exchange Ratio of between 0.38 and 0.51 ordinary Enel Shares for each EGP share (without taking account of the premiums paid relative to market prices in select deals considered to be comparable to the Transaction) and
- (ii) a range of between 0.47 and 0.51 ordinary Enel Shares for each EGP share (taking account of the premiums paid relative to market prices in select deals considered to be comparable to the Transaction).
3.2.4 Target price method
This methodology consist of analysing the target prices set by financial analysts in their research coverage of the EGP and Enel stocks. As is the case with analysis of stock market prices, target prices constitute useful guidance for the purpose of calculating the value of companies whose shares are listed on the stock market, completing the set of benchmark values. Observation of the target prices published by financial analysts covering the Enel and EGP stocks enables an implicit Exchange Ratio to be derived for each of the brokers considered.
Based on the results obtained from applying the target price method, an Exchange Ratio of between 0.34 and 0.53 ordinary Enel Shares for each EGP share is obtained.
4. Conclusions
In view of the foregoing, it is considered that in connection with the Transaction, the Exchange Ratio is fair from a financial standpoint.
The Mediobanca Fairness Opinion Committee has approved the issue of the Opinion.

Re: Fairness Opinion on the exchange ratio proposed between the ordinary shares of Enel Green Power S.p.A. and the ordinary shares of Enel S.p.A.
Enel Green Power S.p.A. ("Enel Green Power", "EGP" or the "Company") and Enel S.p.A. ("Enel", together with EGP, the "Parties" or the "Companies") have initiated discussions with a view to verifying whether the relevant industrial, financial, economic and legal conditions exist to support a possible partial, non-proportional demerger of EGP in favor of Enel (the "Transaction'').
On the basis of the information provided to the author by EGP, the Transaction was subject to the procedure applicable to more important transactions with related parties provided under Consob Regultion No. 17221 dated 12 March 2010, as subsequently amended and integrated and implemented by the Company (the "Procedure").
EGP's related parties committee (hereinafter also referred to as simply the "Related Parties Committee" or the "Committee"), in order to express the opinion referred to in art. 7 of the Procedure, has engaged the author to advise it in defining the range of values within which the value of the exchange ratio between EGP's shares and Enel'shares (the "Exchange Ratio") falls; and to express an opinion on the fairness from a financial statement of the Exchange Ratio determined (the "Opinion").
The Opinion is to be considered confidential and addressed to and directed exclusively at the members of the Related Parties Committee – provided however that it may be disclosed to and directed at the entire Board of Directors - of Enel Green Power solely for purposes of assessing the economic terms of the Transaction and may not be used as a reference by any shareholder of the Company or any other person, with the exception of the members of the Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee.
The author is acting on behalf of the members of Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee and on behalf of no one else in connection with the Transaction and will have no liability whatsoever towards others, with the exception of the members of Enel Green Power's Related Parties Committee as regards to the issuance of the Opinion.
The author hereby authorizes the Company: (i) to describe the contents of the Opinion in the context of the disclosure document on more important transactions with related parties prepared by EGP in connection with the Transaction in accordance with Consob regulation no. 17221/2010; (ii) to attach the Opinion to the same disclosure document referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above; and (iii) to send the Opinion to Consob and to Borsa Italiana.
The author clarifies: (i) that he was in no way involved in the structuring of the Transaction, or in the determination of any aspect related to the Transaction; (ii) that he has been engaged exclusively to assist the Committee in defining the range of values within which the value of the Exchange Ratio falls and to render the Opinion on the fairness from a financial standpoint of the Exchange Ratio determined; (iii) that he has not held, as of the date hereof, any role on the corporate bodies of EGP or Enel, or any of the companies controlled by EGP or Enel; (iv) that he has not provided, in the last five years, any professional services to the Company or Enel, or to companies controlled by EGP or Enel. The author further points out that after performing appropriate verifications, as of the date of this letter, no economic, asset-related or finanicial relationships exist between him and: (i) EGP, (ii) the persons/parties that control it, the companies controlled by EGP or subject to common control with it, or the directors of the companies referred to in points (i) and (ii), that would be capable of impairing his independence and autonomy of judgment.
- 1. For purposes of the preparation of the Opinion, the following documents were reviewed:
- − EGP's "Business Plan 2016-2020" approved by Enel Green Power's Board of Directors on the 12th of November 2015 (the "EGP Plan");
- − Enel's "Business Plan 2016-2020" approved by Enel's Board of Directors on the 12th ofNovember 2015 (the "Enel Plan" and, together with the EGP Plan, the "Plans");
- − the economic-financial plans (business plans) prepared by the Parties for each of the geographic areas/business areas in which EGP and Enel operate, as well as the assumptions concerning the period after the explicit timeline of the Plans and the additional data and input sent by the management of the companies
examined (the "Management") for purposes of the estimate of the related forward-looking economic, financial and capital/asset-related data taken into consideration (the "Forecasts");
- − data provided by the Management on the economic and financial conditions of EGP and Enel as of the 30th of September 2015 approved by their respective Boards of Directors on the12th November 2015;

- − draft of the Demerger Plan for the Transaction dated 12th of November 2015;
- − data and information available on the economic-financial databaseBloomberg;
- − all other information and elements deemed useful for the purpose of drafting the Opinion.
It should also be noted that during the performance of the activities in preparation of the issuance of the Opinion, "Q&A" meetings were held with the Management with a view to clarifying and supplementing the basic information and assumptions underlying the Plans and the estimates.
- 2. The Opinion has been rendered on the basis of the following assumptions and limitations:
- − the data, information, estimates and forecasts considered in the Opinion may not be used for any purpose other than that expressly specified in the Opinion;
- − the conclusions reached by the author in the Opinion are based upon all of the assessments set forth therein. No portion of the Opinion may be used separately from the document in its entirety and for purposes other than those expressly specified;
- − the assessment was carried out on the basis of current economic and market conditions and in light of reasonably foreseeable expectations with regards to forecasts. In this regard, the difficulty of making forecasts in the current economic and financial context must necessarily be duly taken into consideration. None of the contents of the Opinion may be interpreted as an assurance or opinion on the future performance of the companies examined. Events that occur after the date hereof may have an impact on the Opinion and on the assumptions used for purposes of its preparation. The author undertakes no obligation to update, correct or reiterate his opinion;
- − the author assumed that the Forecasts were formulated reasonably on the basis of data that reflect the best estimates on the future performance of the Companies. The Forecasts, since they are based upon assumptions and expectations regarding future events, are characterized by intrinsic elements of subjectivity and uncertainty and, in particular, the riskiness related to the fact that events that are expected to occur and actions deriving from them may not occur or may occur to an extent and in a timeframe that differs from what is envisaged, and similarly events and actions may occur which were not foreseeable at the time the Forecasts were prepared. It follows that
discrepancies, including significant ones, may occur between final figures and forecasted figures;
- − the information that constitutes the quantitative and qualitative support for the estimate was provided by Enel Green Power S.p.A.; the author has relied upon such information without performing any independent verification on the accuracy or completeness of the same;
- − it was assumed that the Transaction will be perfected in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the communication dated 16 November 2015 sent by the Company to the author which indicates the Exchange Ratio traded between the Parties;
- − it has also been assumed that any authorizations necessary to conclude the Transaction will be obtained within an appropriate timeframe without any prejudice for the Company;
- − it has been assumed that no material change has occurred in the economic, capital and financial condition of the Company after the 30 th of September 2015, the most recent date for which the accounting data is available;
- − it has been assumed that the author has been provided with all information necessary to prepare and render the Opinion and that there do not exist any facts or circumstances that have not been brought to his knowledge that would have rendered the information provided for purposes of issuing the Opinion inaccurate or misleading;
- − no independent verification of a legal, tax, accounting, actuarial or other nature has been performed on the Company or the Transaction and, therefore, no opinion is expressed on such matters;
- − no independent verification or assessment/valuation has been performed on the assets and liabilities of the Company or the entities controlled by it or its affiliates;
- − the Opinion is based upon current economic, financial, market and other conditions, as well as upon current information made available through the date of this letter. For any events that occur after the date hereof that may affect the Opinion and its assumptions; the author does not undertake any obligation to update, revise or confirm the Opinion rendered on the date hereof;
- − the Opinion does not contain assessments on the price at which the EGP share or the Enel share may be traded in the future;
- − the Opinion does not contain any assessments on the Transaction as compared with other alternative transactions, nor does it contain any assessments on the feasibility or availability of such alternative transactions. The Opinion does not examine the industrial, strategic, financial aspects or other reasons on the basis of which the Transaction has been structured and may be approved.
- 3. The Opinion has been rendered using financial analysis and valuation methods used in professional practice. Each method used presents specific limitations and, consequently, we have decided to express the opinion on the fairness from a financial point of view of the Exchange Ratio on the basis of a valuation process which, in the
form of a reasoned summary, has taken into account the results attained through the analysis and valuations methods followed.
In light of the circumstance that the envisaged the Transaction under examination entails a partial, non-proportional demerger of EGP in favor of Enel, the purpose of the analysis is to arrive at a relative valuation of the value of EGP and Enel. In light of this circumstance, for purposes of the choice of valuation methods and the related application of the same, it was borne in mind that the absolute values resulting from the estimates carried out are not relevant, since what is relevant is the ratio between such absolute values.
In particular, for purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio, the author found it advisable to use the following valuation methods and analyses:
- i) Discounted Cash Flow method: an estimate was elaborated of the value of EGP and the value of Enel by applying the fundamental method known as the Discounted Cash Flow model (DCF), based upon the determination of the present value as of the reference date of the 30 th of September 2015 of the cash flows that are expected to be generated by each of the Parties in the future. In particular, the DCF method was used by applying the "sum of the parts" method or, in other words, developing a financial type valuation from a standalone point of view for each of the geographical areas/business areas in which EGP and Enel operate on the basis of their respective business plans prepared by the Parties and then determining the total value of EGP and Enel as the sum of the estimated value of the geographical areas/business areas falling within their respective business perimeters. The economic, financial and capital forecasts were determined on the basis of Plans approved by each of the Parties and the Forecasts, while the discount rates used to determine the present value of the cash flows were estimated on the basis of an analysis of EGP's and Enel's shares and relevant market;
- ii) stock market price quote method: reference was made to the trend in price quotes of EGP's and Enel's shares over the last several years in order to take into account the trend on the market and in the shares of each of the Parties and the exact values and average values of the prices quoted on the stock market were determined for various periods of time prior to the 27th of October 2015;
- iii) target price method: financial reports concerning the EGP share, the Enel share and their business sectors issued in the last several months by the principal banking institutions, investment funds and specialized consultancy firms have been analyzed. In particular, elaborations have been carried out on the basis of the target price of EGP shares and Enel shares as estimated by the analysts and stated in such financial reports.
More specifically, the valuation methods used entailed the adoption of the following assumptions, expectations and estimates.
3.1. DCF Method. The Discounted Cash Flow model (DCF) is a fundamental method that equates the value of a business complex to the current value of cash flows that are attainable by the enterprise over the entire duration of its estimated economic lifetime.
The method in question may be applied following two separate approaches: the equity approach to valuation or the entity approach to valuation, depending upon whether the valuation formula is aimed at reaching an estimate, on a direct and immediate basis, of the own capital invested by shareholders (equity) or of the capital invested in the enterprise (firm value or enterprise value). In such latter case, the estimate of the company's value is reached by subtracting from the firm value (or enterprise value) the market value of the net financial position.
The formula for appraising the capital of a business complex based upon the equitytype method is the following:
$$
W = \sum_{t=1}^{n} FI_{t}(1+i)^{-t} + VT(1+i)^{-n}
$$
where:
\nW is the economic value of the business complex being appraised;\n
\n\n
$$
\sum_{t=1}^{n} F l_t (1+i)^{-t}
$$
\n is the sum of the present value of expected net cash flows (Flt) for the explicit forecast period (the first flow includes the value of initial liquidity);\n
\n\n
$$
VT(1+i)^{-n}
$$
\n is the terminal value (VT) of the business complex being appraised, determined in its present value as of the reference date of the valuation;\n
\n\ni is the present value/discount rate to be applied to the expected net cash flows.\n
The most commonly used formula for the valuation of the economic capital of a business complex based upon fundamental entity-type methods is the following:
$$
W = \sum_{t=1}^{n} \text{Flgop}_{t} (1 + \text{wacc})^{-t} + \text{VT}(1 + \text{wacc})^{-n} - Pfn
$$
dove:
n
t
1
W is the economic value of the business complex being appraised;
$$
\sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{F \lg op_t}{(1 + wacc)^t}
$$
is the sum of the current value of expected cash flows from ordinary
business operations (Flgopt) over the explicit forecast period;
is the terminal value (VT) of the business complex being appraised, determined in its present value as of the reference date of the valuation; n VT wacc (1 )
- wacc is the discount rate to be applied to the cash flows from ordinary business operations;
- Pfn is the market value of the net financial position of the business complex being appraised.
The estimate of the economic value of a business complex using the fundamental method, whether it be equity-based or entity-based, requires that the following elements be defined: (a) the expected cash flows over the explicit forecast period; (b) the discount rate to be applied to the cash flows; (c) the terminal value of the business complex.
Let us point out that, in this case, for purposes of the valuation of EGP and Enel, an entity-type approach was followed.
As regards to the estimate of the expected cash flows over the explicit forecast period (referred to in letter a) it should be noted that, for each of the Parties, such cash flows were calculated on the basis of the input data and the forward-looking data set forth in the Plans and the Forecasts for each geographical area /business area in which EGP and Enel operate.
In light of the differences in terms of risk/return profile of the various countries/business areas in which EGP and Enel operate, we decided to follow a sumof-the-parts valuation and analysis approach (or, in other words, a country by country valuation for EGP and by country/business area for Enel).
As regards the estimate of the discount rate (aspect referred to in letter b), it should be noted that the estimated cash flows and the terminal value referring to each geographical area/business area in which EGP and Enel operate were discounted at a specific weighted average cost of capital (Weighted Average Cost of Capital, or "wacc"), calculated on the basis of the following formula:
$$
wacc = K_e \frac{E}{E + DN} + K_d (1 - T) \frac{DN}{E + DN}
$$
where:
- is the cost of own capital or risk capital (Cost of Equity) of the specific geographical area/business area;
is the incidence of capital out of the total of all sources of funding;
- is the incidence of the net financial position out of the total of all sources of funding;
- is the weighted average cost of debt (Cost of Debt) of the geographical area/business area;
- T is the estimated tax rate for each geographical area/business area.
The cost of own capital/equity may be estimated using several approaches. Of these, one of the most widespread in valuation practice is the so-called "build up approach" method for which the discount rate is determined as follows:
$$
K_e = i_1 + i_2
$$
where:
- is the discount;
- is the risk-free rate;
- is the risk premium calculated using the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) technique. On the basis of such valuation method, the risk premium is determined by multiplying the beta-factor () (which constitutes the measurement of operating and financial risk of the business complex) for the average premium of the market (determined by taking the difference between the average return expected on the equity market - Rm - and the average return expected for risk-free investments - i1):
$$
i_2 = \beta(R_m - i_1)
$$
As regards to the estimate of the terminal value (VT) of the business complex (the aspect referred to in letter c), it should be noted that the VT was determined by applying different methods depending upon the relevant sector of each of the units valuated, based upon the following approach:
- − as for EGP: estimate of the salvage value (net of the dismantling cost) of the plants at the end of their useful lifetime, calculated on the basis of the assumptions/expectations provided by the Management;
- − as for Enel:
- o generation: normalized cash flow as of 2025 in perpetuity calculated on the basis of the assumptions/expectations provided by Management (long term replacement CAPEX and long term depreciation);
- o distribution: value of the RAB as of 2025 on the basis of assumptions/expectations provided by Management;
- o sale: exit multiple on EBITDA.
The valuation range for EGP and Enel was obtained by changing the value of estimated wacc with reference to each geographical area/business area in a relative measure equal to ± 5% or, in other words, considering the respective exact estimates increased (decreased) by multiplying such values by a coefficient equal to 1.05 (0.95).
The application of such method led to an estimate of an exchange ratio range of 0.40 to 0.54 ordinary EGP shares for each ordinary Enel share.
3.2. Stock market price quotes method. The stock exchange price quotes method is aimed at determining the value of a company on the basis of the capitalization expressed with reference to prices of the shares representing such company that are traded on regulated stock markets.
In this case, the analysis was performed on the basis of the trend of the official price of the ordinary share of Enel Green Power and of the share of Enel observed over a 12 months period preceding the 27th of October 2015 or, in order words, starting on the 27th of October 2014.
The choice of the reference time period was made considering the trade-off existing between the need to attenuate the impact on statistics of possible short term volatilities – which would lead to an expansion of the time window to be considered – and the need to reflect the price quotes of the company to be appraised and, in general, more recent market conditions – which would lead to a reduction of the time window to be considered.
In addition to such criterion, there exists a further constraint consisting in the need to exclude share prices after the date on which it is reasonable to conclude that rumors have been disseminated on the market in connection with the envisaged Transaction. In this case, such date was determined to be 27 October 2015.
The valuation range for EGP and Enel was obtained by taking the minimum and maximum values of the implicit Exchange Ratio among stock exchange prices of the Company observed in the last 12 months.
The application of such method led to an estimate of an exchange ratio range of 0.38 to 0.51 ordinary EGP shares for each ordinary Enel share.
3.3. Target price method. The target price valuation method was applied taking into account the target price values for Enel Green Power and Enel estimated by a number/group of financial analysts.
Such method was used since, although it does not constitute a fundamental type method based upon explicit expectations/assumptions and detailed analysis of expected cash flows, like the stock market price quotes method, it nonetheless constitutes a useful indication for purposes of appraising the Companies.
In this case, we considered the data related to the target prices obtainable, as of the date of the valuation, on the main economic-financial data providers with reference to the reports issued by the main banking institutions, investment funds and specialized consultancy firms on a recent date before the reference date of the valuation.
The valuation range for EGP and Enel was obtained taking into consideration the average (minimum) values of EGP along with the minimum (average) values of Enel.
The application of such method led to an estimate of an exchange ratio range of 0.35 to 0.56 ordinary EGP shares for each ordinary Enel share.
- 4. The analysis conducted have led to a determination of a range of values that goesfrom 0.35 to 0.56 which, taking into account the results of the valuation methods used, the information (including market information) available over the course of the performance of the analysis and a reasoned summary of the estimates reached, resulted in a range that goes from 0.47 to 0.52. It should be noted that such choice was made also bearing in mind the fact that the valuation methods used and the individual parameters used for purposes of their application constitute inseparable parts of a single overarching process aimed at determining a range of values which, through a reasoned summary, at a given moment in time, also taking into account market trends, is considered to be representative of the range of exchange values that is fair from a financial point of view.
- 5. In conclusion, based upon the foregoing considerations and upon the conclusion of the analyses performed, the author is of the opinion that, as of the date of the Opinion, the Exchange Ratio set at 0.486 ordinary EGP shares for each ordinary Enel share is fair from a financial point of view.
I thank you for the trust placed in me and send my best regards.

Independent auditors' report on the examination of the consolidated pro-forma statements
(Translation from the original Italian text)
The European Commission's regulation on Prospectuses n. 809/2004A, adopted by CONSOB in Italy under Regulation n. 11971, requires, for the preparation of the information memorandum (the "Information Document") in connection with significant mergers, acquisitions or disposals by Italian listed companies that, when unaudited pro-forma financial information are presented, the Information Document contain "a report prepared by the independent auditors stating that in their opinion the unaudited pro-formal financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated and that basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Italian listed company". CONSOB in Italy requires that the independent auditors' report be prepared in accordance with CONSOB Rule n. DEM/1061609 of August 9, 2001.
Accordingly, a report on the examination of the unaudited pro-forma financial information was issued by the independent auditors of Enel S.p.A., in connection with the preparation of the Information Document by Enel S.p.A. pursuant to Article 70 of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99, as amended, for the non-proportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A. (the "Transaction"), for the sole purpose of the above mentioned Italian regulation. Such report forms part of the Information Document for the Transaction.
The following is the English language translation of the original Italian independent auditors' report on the examination of the unaudited consolidated pro-forma financial information of Enel S.p.A. under the above mentioned Italian regulation, in connection with the Transaction, and cannot be used, in whole or in part, for any other purposes.
To the Board of Directors of Enel S.p.A.
- We examined the consolidated pro-forma balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement (the "Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements") accompanied by the explanatory notes of Enel S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Enel Group") as of and for the year ended December 31,2014.
Such Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements derive from the historical financial information related to the consolidated financial statements of the Enel Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, and the measures issued in application of Article 9 of Legislative Decree n. 38/2005, and from the pro-forma adjustments applied to such financial information and examined by us.
The consolidated financial statements of the Enel Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2104 have been audited by us and we have issued our auditors' report on April 8, 2015.
The Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions described in the explanatory notes to retroactively reflect the effects of the non-proportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A.(the "Transaction").
- The Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements, accompanied by the explanatory notes, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been prepared pursuant to Article 70 of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99, as amended in application of Law Decree n. 58/98 concerning the regulations governing Italian listed companies.

The scope of the preparation of the Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements is to present, in accordance with valuation criteria consistent with the historical financial data and with the applicable regulations, the effects of the Transaction on the consolidated economic and financial trend and on the consolidated balance sheet of the Enel Group, as if such Transaction virtually occurred on December 31, 2014 and, with respect to the economic and financial effects only, at the beginning of the year 2014. However, it should be noted that if the Transaction had actually occurred on such dates, the results that are presented therein would not be necessarily obtained.
The Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements are the responsibility of Enel's Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the reasonableness of the assumptions adopted by the Directors for the preparation of the Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements and on the utilization of a proper methodology in preparing such data. In addition, it is our responsibility to express an opinion on the proper application of the valuation criteria and of the accounting principles.
-
- Our examination has been made in accordance with the criteria recommended by CONSOB in its Recommendation n. DEM/1061609 of August 9, 2001 for the examination of the pro-forma data applying the procedures we deemed necessary under the circumstances with respect to the engagement received.
-
- In our opinion, the assumptions adopted by Enel S.p.A. for the preparation of the Consolidated Pro-Forma Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, accompanied by the explanatory notes, to retrospectively reflect the non-proportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A., are reasonable and the methodology utilized for the preparation of the above mentioned financial information has been properly applied for the information purpose described above.

Independent auditors' report on the examination of the consolidated semiannual pro-forma statements
(Translation from the original Italian text)
The European Commission's regulation on Prospectuses n. 809/2004A, adopted by CONSOB in Italy under Regulation n. 11971, requires, for the preparation of the information memorandum (the "Information Document") in connection with significant mergers, acquisitions or disposals by Italian listed companies that, when unaudited pro-forma financial information are presented, the Information Document contain "a report prepared by the independent auditors stating that in their opinion the unaudited pro-forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated and that basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Italian listed company". CONSOB in Italy requires that the independent auditors' report be prepared in accordance with CONSOB Rule n. DEM/1061609 of August 9, 2001.
Accordingly, a report on the examination of the unaudited pro-forma financial information was issued by the independent auditors of Enel S.p.A., in connection with the preparation of the Information Document by Enel S.p.A. pursuant to Article 70 of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99, as amended, for the non-proportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A. (the "Transaction"), for the sole purpose of the above mentioned Italian regulation. Such report forms part of the Information Document for the Transaction.
The following is the English language translation of the original Italian review report on the examination of the unaudited consolidated semiannual pro-forma financial information of Enel S.p.A. under the above mentioned Italian regulation, in connection with the Transaction, and cannot be used, in whole or in part, for any other purposes.
To the Board of Directors of Enel S.p.A.
- We have reviewed the consolidated semiannual pro-forma balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement (the "Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements") accompanied by the explanatory notes of Enel S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Enel Group") as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months then ended.
Such Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements derive from the historical financial information related to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Enel Group as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months then ended, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard as adopted by the European Union, applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34), and the measures issued in application of Article 9 of Legislative Decree n. 38/2005, and from the pro-forma adjustments applied to such financial information and examined by us.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Enel Group as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months then ended have been subject to our review and we have issued our review report on August 3, 2015.
A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we did not express an audit

opinion on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015 of Enel Group.
The Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions described in the explanatory notes to retrospectively reflect the effects of the nonproportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A.(the "Transaction").
- The Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements, accompanied by the explanatory notes, as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months then ended have been prepared pursuant to Article 70 of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99, as amended in application of Legislative Decree n. 58/98 concerning the regulations governing Italian listed companies.
The scope of the preparation of the Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements is to present, in accordance with valuation criteria consistent with the historical financial data and with the applicable regulations, the effects of the Transaction on the consolidated economic and financial trend and on the consolidated balance sheet of the Enel Group, as if such Transaction virtually occurred on June 30, 2015 and, with respect to the economic and financial effects only, at the beginning of the year 2015. However, it should be noted that if the Transaction had actually occurred on such dates, the results that are presented therein would not be necessarily obtained.
The Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements are the responsibility of Enel's Directors. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the reasonableness of the assumptions adopted by the Directors for the preparation of the Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements and on the utilization of a proper methodology in preparing such data. In addition, it is our responsibility to express a conclusion on the proper application of the valuation criteria and of the accounting principles.
-
- Our examination has been made in accordance with the criteria recommended by CONSOB in its Recommendation n. DEM/1061609 of August 9, 2001 for the examination of the pro-forma data applying the procedures we deemed necessary under the circumstances with respect to the engagement received.
-
- Based on the work performed, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the assumptions adopted by Enel S.p.A. for the preparation of the Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months then ended, accompanied by the explanatory notes, to retrospectively reflect the non-proportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A., are not reasonable and the methodology utilized for the preparation of the above mentioned financial information has not been properly applied for the information purpose described above and that the valuation criteria and the accounting principles applied for the preparation of the Consolidated Semiannual Pro-Forma Statements are not adequate.

Independent Auditors' Report on the examination of prospective financial information
In accordance with Article 7.4 of Scheme 2 of Annex 3B to the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99, as amended in application of Law Decree n. 58/98 concerning the regulations governing Italian listed companies
(Translation from the original Italian text)
The European Commission's regulation on Prospectuses n° 809/2004, adopted by CONSOB in Italy with CONSOB Regulation n° 11971/99, as amended, for the preparation of the information memorandum (the "Information Document") in connection with significant mergers, acquisitions or disposals by Italian listed companies requires that, when forecasts or estimates are presented, the Informational Document contain "a report prepared by the independent auditors stating that in their opinion the forecast or estimate has been properly compiled on the basis stated and that the basis of accounting used for the profit forecast or estimate is consistent with the accounting policies of the Italian listed company". CONSOB in Italy requires that the independent auditors' report be prepared in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3400 "The Examination of Prospective Financial Information" issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB") of IFAC -International Federation of Accountants.
Accordingly, an independent auditors' report on the examination of the prospective financial information was issued by the independent auditors of Enel S.p.A., in connection with the preparation by Enel S.p.A. of the Information Document, pursuant to Article 70 of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99 and subsequent changes in application of Legislative Decree n. 58/98 as amended in application of Law Decree n. 58/98 concerning the regulations governing Italian listed companies for the non-proportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A..
The following is the English language translation of the original Italian independent auditors' report on the examination of the prospective financial information of Enel S.p.A. under the above mentioned Italian Regulation, in accordance with Article 7.4 of Scheme 2 of Annex 3B to the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99, as amended in application of Law Decree n. 58/98 concerning the regulations governing Italian listed companies and cannot be used, in whole or part, for any other purposes.
To the Board of Directors of Enel S.p.A.
- We have examined the prospective financial information for the period 2015-2019, presented to the financial market on November 18, 2015 and included in the Business Plan 2016-2020 (the "Business Plan") of Enel S.p.A. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Enel Group") approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 12, 2015, which report an Ordinary Net Income of Euro 3.0 billion in 2015, Euro 3.14 billion in 2016 and Euro 3.4 billion in 2017 and an average growth of Ordinary Net Income for the period 2015-2019 of 10% (hereinafter the "Prospective Financial Information") together with the assumptions and the elements on which they are based. The Prospective Financial Information, the assumptions and the elements on which they are based are included in Paragraph 6.3 "Estimates and forward-looking data" of the Information Document related to the non-proportional partial demerger of Enel Green Power S.p.A. in favour of Enel S.p.A. (the "Demerger") and prepared for the purpose of Article 70

of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99 and subsequent changes in application of Legislative Decree n. 58/98 concerning the regulations governing Italian listed companies. The Prospective Financial Information and the related assumptions and elements set forth in the Information Document, as well as the preparation of the Business Plan, are the responsibility of Enel S.p.A.'s Directors.
-
- The Prospective Financial Information has been prepared using a set of assumptions about future events and actions that will have to be undertaken by Directors that include, inter alia, general and hypothetical assumptions about future events and Directors' actions that may not necessarily occur, and events and actions on which Directors and management may not or may only partially have an influence, regarding the trend of the main financial and economic indicators or other factors that influence their evolution (collectively, the "Hypothetical Assumptions"). Such Hypothetical Assumptions, described in Paragraph 6.3.4 "Hypothetical assumptions underlying the elaboration of Estimates and Forward-looking Data" of the Information Document, relate to: (i) the completion of the Demerger; (ii) the realization of the cost synergies indicated in the Plan and the realization of the optional investments as a consequence of the completion of the Demerger; (iii) the achievement of high levels of operating efficiency, through the optimal management of operating costs and investments for the maintenance of assets; (iv) an active portfolio management with a view to create value through a programme of disposals and capital reinvestment; and (v) a substantial continuity between the definition criteria of energy's distribution and metering fees established in Italy by the applicable Code and those provided by the new Code for the fifth regulatory period 2016-2021, which will be issued shortly by the Autorità per l'energia elettrica il gas e il settore idrico (the Authority for electricity, gas and water resources).
-
- Our examination has been performed in accordance with procedures provided for these engagements by the International Standard on Assurance Engagements ("ISAE") 3400 "The Examination of Prospective Financial Information" issued by IFAC - International Federation of Accountants.
-
- Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions and the elements used to prepare the Prospective Financial Information included in Paragraph 6.3 "Estimates and forwardlooking data" of the Information Document, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe, to date, that these assumptions and elements do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the Prospective Financial Information, assuming the occurrence of the Hypothetical Assumptions about future events and Directors' actions mentioned in paragraph 2. above. Further, in our opinion the Prospective Financial Information is properly prepared on the basis of the above mentioned assumptions and is presented in accordance with accounting principles consistent with those applied by Enel Group in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014.
-
- However, it should be noted that due to the uncertainties of the occurrence of future events, with respect to the realization of the event and its quantification and time of occurrence, variations between actual results and those forecasted in the Prospective Financial Information may be material, even if the events anticipated under the Hypothetical Assumptions mentioned in paragraph 2. above, occur.
-
- This report has been prepared for the sole purposes of the requirements of Article 7.4 of Scheme 2 of Annex 3B to the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 11971/99, as amended in

application of Legislative Decree n. 58/98 concerning the regulations governing Italian listed companies, and cannot be used, in whole or part, for any other purposes.
- We have no responsibility to update this report for events and circumstances occurring after the current date.

To the members of the Board of Directors of Enel Green Powers
Object: Opinion of the Related-Party Transactions Committee of Enel Green Power S.p.A. pursuant to Article 8 of the Regulation issued by Consob with resolution no. 17221 of March 12th, 2010 and to Article 6 of the Procedure governing related party transactions, approved by the Board of Directors of Enel Green Power on December 1st, 2010 and subsequently amended
Dear Sirs,
We refer to the prospected transaction of partial non-proportional demerger (the "Transaction" or the "Demerger") of Enel Green Power S.p.A. ("EGP" or the "Company") in favor of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel"), which controls EGP ex Article 2359, paragraph 1, no. 1 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 93 of Legislative Decree of February 24th, 1998, no. 58 and subsequent amendments, and exercises on the same EGP direction and coordination activities pursuant to Articles 2497 and followings of the Italian Civil Code. The envisaged Transaction – as described below – constitutes for EGP, pursuant to "Regulation Governing Related-Party Transactions" adopted by Consob resolution no. 17221 of March 12th, 2010 (the "RPT Regulation"), and to the "Procedure for Related-Party Transactions" approved by the Board of Directors of Enel Green Power on December 1st, 2010 ("RPT Procedure"), a transaction of major importance with related party. In this regard, pursuant to Articles 8.1, let. c), and 11, paragraph 2, of the RPT Regulation and Articles 6 and 7 of the RPT Procedure, the Related Party Transaction Committee (the "Committee") issues the following opinion:
1. Terms and conditions of the Transaction
On the basis of the information provided by the Company's management and of the documentary evidences submitted to the Committee, please find below the main characteristics of the Transaction that concerns, as mentioned above, pursuant to and in accordance with Article 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code, the partial and non-proportional demerger of EGP - a company organized and existing under Italian law with shares listed in Italy on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, and in Spain on the stock markets of Madrid, Barcellona, Bilbao and Valencia through the Spanish electronic trading system Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil "SIBE" – in favor of Enel - a company organized and existing under Italian law with shares listed in Italy on the Mercato Telematico Azionario. In particular, the draft of the Demerger Plan that will be submitted to the approval of the Board of Directors, give rise to the assignment of virtually all of EGP's foreign shareholdings/subsidiaries and financial assets (the "Set of Assets Demerged") in favor of Enel, while EGP will keep its Italian assets and the remaining foreign shareholdings. In particular, the related balance sheet elements and legal relationships which, as a result of the Demerger, will be assigned to Enel are the followings: i) totalitarian shareholding in the company organized and existing under Dutch law, Enel Green Power International B.V.; ii) short-term financial receivable owed by the company Enel Green Power North America Ltd. in connection with a financial restructuring transaction implemented in 2014; the exchange rate risk related to such financial receivable is hedged through a currency forward contract; iii) legal relationships related to the long-term credit line with Enel Green Power International B.V.; iv) the legal relationship with the 6 employees that are part of the business unit comprising the Set of Assets Demerged and the consequent asset-side liability-side balance sheet items referring to the same; v) guarantees granted by Enel Green Power in the interest of Enel Green Power International B.V. and its subsidiaries related to the hedging of certain number of commitments undertaken. For the detailed description of the assets and liabilities and related legal relationships comprising the Set of Assets Demerged, as well as for the rules governing the contingent assets and/or contingent liabilities, if any, and for any other detailed information, please see the Demerger Plan.
The Demerger will be approved on the basis of the balance sheets of EGP and Enel as of 30th September 2015, which will be submitted to the approval – pursuant to and for purposes of art. 2501-quater of the Italian Civil Code recalled by art. 2506-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code – by the Boards of Directors which will be held on 17th November, 2015. Therefore, this opinion is issued on the base of draft balance sheets that will be approved to the Board of Directors on the date hereof.
Pursuant to the Demerger, EGP's shareholders that do not concur to the approval of such Demerger will be granted to:
- (i) the right to sell to Enel their EGP shares, in whole or in part, pursuant to Article 2506-bis, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code, in exchange for a cash consideration for each share of Enel Green Power determined according to the criteria provided forth by Article 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code with respect to the withdrawal (the "Right of Sale");
- (ii) the right of withdrawal pursuant to Article 2437, paragraph 1, lett. a), of the Italian Civil Code, in exchange for the same consideration determined pursuant to Article 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, since Enel, the beneficiary company of the Demerger, has a clause of its corporate purpose that allows for the conduct of business that differs significantly from that described in Enel Green Power's corporate purpose clause ("Right of Withdrawal").
Considering the opinion issued by Prof. Gambino required by the Committee, the modalities for the exercise of the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal are the same, i.e., the modalities provided forth by the applicable laws for the exercise of the Right of Withdrawal (in particular, provided forth by Article 2437-bis, of the Italian Civil Code). Indeed, such procedures are able to provide protections for the minority shareholders which are not equal but more extent.
The liquidation value of the shares of Enel Green Power in both of the above cases will be equal to the average of closing prices in the six months period before the publication of the notice of call of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Enel Green Power called to approve the Demerger Plan. The process of liquidation of the shares for which the Right of Sale and/or the Right of Withdrawal are exercised will take place, in a single context, in accordance with art. 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code, considering that the joint procedure allows to realize the best protection of the shareholders' rights, taking into account that the shareholders of Enel Green Power shall be entitled to exercise the option right and the pre-emption option, in compliance with the principle of equal treatment. In such regard, Enel has declared its intention to purchase all shares subject to the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal that have not been sold following the offer under option and pre-emption right referred to below.
The effect of the Demerger is conditioned upon the circumstance that the total liquidation value of the Enel Green Power shares in connection with which the Right of Withdrawal and the Right of Sale is validly exercised does not exceed Euro 300,000,000. The aforementioned condition precedent shall be deemed likewise satisfied if Enel, within 60 calendar days from the registration with the Companies Register of Rome of the last of the shareholders' meeting resolutions approving the Demerger pursuant to art. 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, declares its intention to purchase all of the shares for which the above-mentioned rights have been exercised.
The Demerger will be effective from a civil law perspective, pursuant to art. 2504-bis of the Italian Civil Code, starting from the date of the last registration of the deed of Demerger in the Companies' Register of Rome, or from such other later date that may be indicated in the deed of Demerger. To such end, the Shareholders' Meetings of the Participating Companies to the Demerger will grant a specific mandate to their boards of directors in order to set the Date of Effect of the Demerger, if later than the last of the registrations in the Companies Register.
On the date of effect of the Demerger, Enel will increase its share capital by issuing a maximum of no. 1,769,040,000 shares – with regular entitlement and nominal value of Euro 1.00 each – in favor of the shareholders of EGP on the basis to the exchange ratio settled for the Transaction (the "Exchange Ratio"). The amount of the capital increase of Enel to service the Exchange Ratio shall not be exceed the value attributed to the Set of Assets Demerged by the appraisal/estimate report of the expert drafted in compliance with Article 2506-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code. In particular: (i) the shareholders of EGP other than Enel will be assigned – through application of the Exchange Ratio – a total of up to a maximum of 770,588,712 newly issued Enel shares, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of a total of 1,585,573,483 EGP shares held by such shareholders, while (ii) Enel will be assigned a total of 998,451,288 Enel shares – with simultaneous cancellation of the same pursuant to the prohibition provided under art. 2504-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code –, in exchange for the cancellation, at the time of exchange, of 2,054,426, EGP shares held by it.
The number of newly assigned Enel shares may change depending upon the number of EGP shares acquired by Enel in the execution of the aforementioned procedure for the liquidation of the shares subject to the Right of Sale and the Right of Withdrawal.
Since, as of the date of effect of the Demerger, all of the above-mentioned 3,640,000,000 EGP shares representing the portion of EGP's share capital corresponding to the Set of Assets Demerged forming the subject matter of the exchange will be cancelled in their entirety, on such date, the EGP's share capital will be reduced from its current total amount of Euro 1,000,000,000.00 to a total of Euro 272,000,000.
As a result of the exchange by EGP shareholders other than Enel of all shares held by them in EGP, and the consequent cancellation of the same, Enel – as a result of the Demerger – will be the sole shareholder of the EGP, that will be delisted from both the Italian and Spanish markets.
2. Summary of the activities performed by the Committee
The Committee, which have been promptly informed on the Transaction during the meeting of the Board on October 5th, 2015, has immediately started on the same date the preparatory activities for the examination of the Transaction and has been involved in the negotiations and investigation phase, through a flow of information, in a timely, full and adequate manner, which has allowed the Committee to be constantly updated in relation to the development of the activities carried out. The information flows concerned, among others, the main terms and conditions of the Transaction, the expected timing of its implementation, the evaluation procedure proposed, the reasons underlying the Transaction, as well as the potential risks for EGP and its subsidiaries. In this context, the Committee exercised its right to ask questions and make comments, receiving prompt response to their requests and comments by the management involved in the Transaction. Indeed, starting from the beginning of the Transaction, the Committee benefited from a continuous receipt of the relevant documentation provided by the Company and the advisors appointed by the Committee itself, that has been, among others, examined during the meetings held by the Committee. In particular, the Committee met:
- on October 5th, 2015, with respect to a preliminary illustration of the Transaction by the competent corporate structures of EGP and to the selection of i) two independent financial advisors of the Committee, Lazard and Prof. Enrico Laghi (also referred to hereinafter "financial advisors"), for the examination of the financial, economic and industrial aspects of the Transaction and for the issuance of a fairness opinion on the Exchange Ratio; and ii) one independent legal advisor, Prof. Agostino Gambino, for the examination of the Transaction from a legal standpoint. The verification of the independence of the aforementioned advisors have been made, by the Chairman of the Committee, through specific declaration of independence issued by the same advisors.
- on October 14th, 2015 and October 20th, 2015, with respect to the examination of the in-depth analysis performed by the legal advisor concerning the legal structure of the Transaction and the rights arising therefrom to the shareholders that would not concur to the approval of such Demerger, as well as of the analysis performed by the financial advisor concerning the financial, economic and industrial aspects of the Transaction and the potential valuation methodologies to be adopted in order to determine the Exchange Ratio;
- on November 2nd, 2015, with respect to the examination of the in-depth analysis performed by the financial advisors on the comparison between the Industrial Plans of EGP and the one of Enel, as well as with respect to the preliminary analyses regarding the valuation of the two companies in order to determine the Exchange Ratio;
-
on November 9th , 2015, with respect to the in-depth analysis of the Transaction's structure and of the strategic-industrial rationale of such Transaction, as well as with respect to the in-depth analysis regarding the valuations of the participating companies to the Transaction provided by the financial advisors;
-

Then, the Committee expressed, during the meeting of the Board of Directors on November 12th, 2015, its comments to the CEO of EGP inviting him to consider, in the phase of the negotiations within the Transaction, the Exchange Ratio's range established by the Committee;
- on November 16th, 2015, for the issuance taking into account the fairness opinions issued by the advisors appointed by the Committee, i.e., Lazard and Prof. Enrico Laghi, and the entire documentation examined, specified at point 4 below – of this reasoned favorable opinion on the interest of Enel Green Power in the completion of the Transaction, as well as the convenience and the substantial fairness of the relative conditions.
At the Committee's meetings, also the independent directors of EGP (Giovanni Battista Lombardo, Paola Muratorio e Luciana Tarozzi) have been invited to attend and, usually, were in attendance, in order to ensure a wide sharing of the evaluations and analysis of the Committee; also the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors attended the Committee's meetings.
3. Estimate on the interest of the Company in the Transaction and on the fairness of the financial terms of such Transaction
The Committee, in particular during the meeting of November 9th, 2015, estimated the items regarding the strategic-industrial rationale of the Transaction, with the support of the documentation provided by the Company's management and by the financial advisors. This opinion was drafted by the Committee, taking into account, inter alia, the information contained in the aforementioned documentation.
3.1 Industrial Reasons
The renewable energy's sector has assumed a more significant role in the energy scenario, both in light of the growing competitiveness of less mature technologies, such as wind and solar, triggered by rapid technological progress, and of the contribution offered by same to the energy pattern in terms of environmental sustainability.
Big utilities in order to pursue the opportunities offered by the renewable business, incorporated companies completely dedicated to the development and the management of renewable energy plants. In this framework, in 2008 Enel established Enel Green Power, gathering therein the activities for the production of renewable energy, and listing such company on the Stock Exchange in 2010.
Such energy model, during the last few years, has experienced deep changes, initially triggered by the rapid large-scale development of renewable energy sources, with the consequent issues related to the necessity to adapt the networks. Also other circumstances have occurred, such as, among others, distributed production, energy efficiency, electric cars and the energy storage, which are more and more leading to a radical transformation of consumers' behaviors, that are progressively more active both as energy "producers" and as "managers" of their electric request. In addition to the above, there is a need to develop new technologies that allow the electrical system to evolve towards a pattern which better integrates the conventional production's sources and therefore programmable, and the renewable ones, sector that continues to be characterized by a globally high rate growth.
This growth becomes evident mainly in two manners. On the one hand, in the context of the emerging markets (characterized by economic growth and a broad process of urbanization) renewables represent the fastest answer to the increase of electric request. On the other hand, also in the context of the mature markets there are opportunities for the development of renewables, in light of the process of gradual dismantling of conventional production capacity (for example the coal plants) and the replacement with new renewable capacity, mainly from wind and solar, characterized by a rapid activation, contained risks of execution and competitive costs.
The increasing need to integrate the renewables and the traditional sources, the distribution systems and the market ("single integrated system"), is leading to a rapid modernization of the electricity network, through the digitalization and "smart meters", transforming the energy utilities from mere producers and distributors of energy to suppliers of services and system optimizers. This circumstance is leading to new business opportunities that the utilities will be ready to pursue only if they become global and integrated operators in the electrical system.
In this context, Enel Group is well positioned along the guidelines of the new model. Being one of the few global operators in the relevant sector, one of the most diversified in terms of technology and having more than 60 million customers, the Group is able to pursue the many opportunities of global growth, leveraging, inter alia, its high geographical diversification (the Group is present in all the geographic areas with significant growth prospects, including the Asian continent, where the Group recently established a base with entrance in the Indian renewables market).
In the Enel Group, Enel Green Power achieved in the last years important operational and financial results, reaching its growth and internationalization targets. In fact, from the listing date up to now, there has been a growth of 72,5% of installed renewable capacity, from 5,8 GW to the current 10GW, and of 38% of EBITDA, from Euro 1,3 billion in 2010 (8% of Group's EBITDA) to Euro 1,8 billion expected in 2015 (12% of Group's EBITDA), followed by an international presence (expressed in percentage compared to the installed capacity) which increased from 54% in 2010 to the current 69%. However, as specified below, the current investment capacity does not suffice to sustain the existing potential development capacities.
In light of the aforementioned evolution in the energy market and of the important results achieved by Enel Green Power, jointly with the integration plan, it is expected an increase of the investments in development of renewable energies for the next five years; such investments should be around at the 50% of growth investments of the entire Enel Group, in order to allow the pursuance of the substantial market opportunities, in line with the increasing focus on the renewable energies.
The process of full integration of the renewable business is, therefore, consistent with the development strategy of the Enel Group and presents significant reasons, not only strategic, but also industrial and financial, offering substantial opportunities in order to create value.
The industrial reasons of the prospected Demerger – on which the interest of Enel Green Power to complete the Transaction is based – follow, therefore, two main guidelines: the growth and the integration strictly speaking, as also confirmed by similar foreign integration transactions.
As to growth, the Transaction would permit a greater creation of value for the Group through the possible further investment acceleration and the implementation of the strategy of the Active Portfolio Management. In fact, in a context in which the capabilities demonstrated by Enel Green Power, both in the field of the development of plans, and in terms of their realization, exceed its investment capacity in a "stand-alone" view (to preserve the financial strength of the company) and in light of the financial capacity of the Enel Group, the full integration between Enel and Enel Green Power would allow the latter to accomplish additional growth plans in the business of renewables.
As to the integration strictly speaking, that constitutes the second guide line of creation of value, the same is realized through the creation of operational and management synergies, achievable through: i) the ability to pool together the business skills of both companies; such circumstance will allow to benefit from a decrease of the operational costs through the efficiencies deriving from the integration between the human resources of Enel and Enel Green Power; ii) the joint management of the renewable energy plants and the conventional energy plants, with consequent reduction of the risks connected with climate changes to which Enel Green Power would be exposed running its business on a stand-alone view; iii) the opportunity to take advantage of the Group's financial strength.
Another area of possible efficiency / optimization deriving from the Transaction would be the reduction of the "merchant" risk in the Countries / markets in which both Enel and Enel Green Power are present, essentially linked to a vertical integration and consequent centralized management of the coverage of the volume production and of the related risk, and the optimization of the integrated maintenance plan of the renewable and conventional plants and a greater commercial competitiveness guaranteed by the synergic management of renewable assets with the conventional ones.
Finally, the Demerger will allow Enel Green Power to benefit of a reduction of costs and expenses (both in terms of management and in operational terms), as well as greater organizational and managerial flexibility. In particular, as a result of the Transaction, Enel Green Power can start a process of simplification of the governance – also in line with the objective of major focus on domestic business of renewable energies and subsequent minor complexity - which will allow a more expeditious and dynamic decision-making process, as well as exercise of the strategic, managerial and technical-operational control. Similarly, the rationalization of the functions and of the processes will allow, in any case, the structures and the functions of Enel Green Power the maintenance of its own high level of specialization (in the production and market), in an harmonic manner and without operational discontinuity. On the other hand, the separation of the international business will allow Enel Green Power to concentrate the economic and financial resources of its core business in Italy, taking advantage of the market opportunities.
In a nutshell, the proposed Transaction would enable the Enel Group to realize additional growth plans in the renewables' business, since Enel Green Power would be in a position to take advantage, inter alia, of the financial strength of the Enel Group. The Transaction would also allow a rationalization and simplification of the structure of the group, with the achievement of operational and managerial synergies of which it will benefit, with a consequent cost optimization through the combination of different business skills and the reduction of risk.
3.2 Valuations regarding the Exchange Ratio
The Committee, on the basis of the information flow provided by the Company's management and of the valuations issued by the financial advisors, considers that, for the purpose of the valuation of the Exchange Ratio of the Transaction, the analyses and the financial valuations should be based on the methodologies used in the professional practice. It is specified that each considered methodology has specific limits and it is based on hypotheses and specific assumptions; the Committee, therefore, considers appropriate to determine the Exchange Ratio on the basis of a valuation process that, on the basis of a reasoned synthesis, take into account the results of the analysis methodologies and the valuations adopted.
In particular, for the purpose of the aforementioned determination, the reference is made to the following methodologies and valuation analyses: (i) discounted cash flow methodology, (ii) the market prices methodology, (iii) target prices methodology. The aforementioned methodologies were substantially shared by the two financial advisors. Given the above, the Committee notes that the Exchange Ratio which was determined as a result of the negotiations, whose results have been made available to the Committee on the date hereof – equal to 0.486 Enel shares for each share of Enel Green Power in exchange – ranks within the ranges identified by the financial advisors on the basis of valuation methodologies correctly used in the professional practice, which results were positively estimated by the Committee.
