INTRODUCTION

This Information Document, drawn in accordance with Article 84-bis, paragraph 1, of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, is published in order to provide the Shareholders and the market with an extensive and detailed information on the LTI Plan proposed for adoption.

The LTI Plan provides for the possibility to distribute to its Beneficiaries an incentive, composed of a monetary component and a share-based component. Furthermore, the disbursement of both such components, as well as their total amount, depends, inter alia, on the level of achievement of the Total Shareholders' Return, calculated on the basis of the performance of Enel share during the relevant performance period (2020-2022) compared with that of the EUROSTOXX Utilities Index – EMU.

Therefore, for both these features, the LTI Plan, being a "remuneration plan based on financial instruments", pursuant to Article 114-bis, paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Financial Act, is subject to the approval of the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Enel called on May 14, 2020.

The Information Document is available to the public at Enel's registered office (in Rome, Viale Regina Margherita no. 137), as well as on the Company's website (www.enel.com) and on the mechanism for the central storage "eMarket Storage" ().

1. BENEFICIARIES

1.1 Indication by name of the Beneficiaries of the LTI Plan who are members of the Board of Directors of Enel

The LTI Plan includes among its Beneficiaries the Chief Executive Officer (and General Manager) of Enel, who will be appointed by the Board of Directors elected by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called on May 14, 2020.

1.2 Indication of the categories of employees or collaborators of Enel and of the Group which are Beneficiaries of the LTI Plan

Approximately 280 managers of Enel and/or companies controlled by Enel pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code, including the General Manager (and Chief Executive Officer) of Enel, who hold positions that are most directly responsible for the company's results or which are of strategic interest, are the Beneficiaries of the LTI Plan. Among such managers are also included those belonging to the Business Line "Global Infrastructure and Networks", as well as to the "Iberia", "Latin America" and "Europe and Euro-Mediterranean Affairs" Regions in favor of some of which are established specific plans ( 1 ) and objectives linked to the relevant activities of the abovementioned Business Lines and Regions, taking into consideration the requirements to carry on the business on an autonomous basis and the compliance with the unbundling laws in force.

It should be noted that some of the managers who are Beneficiaries of the LTI Plan are currently members of the boards of directors of companies controlled by Enel pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code. Such executives are not indicated by name as described in paragraph 1.1 above since their inclusion among the Beneficiaries of the Plan does not depend on the offices held by them in the above-mentioned companies, being such award solely determined on the basis of their managerial role within the Group.

( 1 ) These plans regard approximately 80 Beneficiaries and in some cases they do not envisage a share-based component.

1.3 Indication by name of the Beneficiaries of the LTI Plan who are general managers or executives with strategic responsibilities (in case they have received during the financial year a total compensation exceeding the highest compensation granted to the members of the board of directors)

The LTI Plan includes among its Beneficiaries the General Manager (and Chief Executive Officer) of Enel, who will be appointed – if deemed necessary or appropriate – by the Board of Directors elected by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called on May 14, 2020.

1.4 Description and numerical indication of the Beneficiaries of the LTI Plan who are executives with strategic responsibilities and any other possible categories of employees or collaborators for whom diverse characteristics of the Plan apply

The LTI Plan includes among the Beneficiaries indicated in paragraph 1.2 above also the managers who are currently "executives with strategic responsibilities" as defined under article 65, paragraph 1-quater, of the Consob Issuers' Regulation. Reference is made to the heads of:

  • the "Administration, Finance and Control" and "People and Organization" Holding Functions, as well as of the "Global Procurement" Function which pertains to the Global Service Functions;
  • the Global Business Lines "Global Power Generation", "Global Infrastructure and Networks", "Global Trading" and "Enel X";
  • the "Italy", "Iberia", "Latin America", "North America" and "Europe and Euro-Mediterranean Affairs" Countries and Regions,

for a total of 12 executive positions.

Without prejudice to what specified in the previous paragraph 1.2, it should be noted that the incentive scheme envisaged under the LTI Plan is the same for all the Beneficiaries, and differentiates only because of:

  • (i) the measure of the base amount of the incentive, to be determined at the time of the relevant award in relation to the fixed remuneration of the single Beneficiary, as pointed out in paragraph 2.3 below;
  • (ii) the measure of the incentive actually assignable in the final assessment of the Plan which, depending on the level of achievement of the performance objectives envisaged under the same Plan, is:
  • o equal, at target level, to 130% of the base amount for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel, and to 100% of the base amount for the other Beneficiaries;
  • o equal, at the maximum level (i.e., if the second over-performance threshold is reached), to 280% of the base amount for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel, and to 180% of the base amount for the other Beneficiaries; and
  • (iii) the incidence of the share-based component on the total base amount of the awarded incentive, which is equal to:
  • o 100% of the base amount, for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager,
  • o 50% of the base amount, for the other Beneficiaries of the Plan.

2. REASONS SUPPORTING THE ADOPTION OF THE PLAN

2.1 Objectives to be achieved through the Plan

The Plan is aimed at:

  • aligning the interests of the Beneficiaries with the pursuit of the priority goal consisting in the creation of value for Shareholders over the medium/long-term, also by envisaging a share-based component into remuneration plans;
  • strengthening the link between the remuneration of Beneficiaries and both the sustainable growth of the Company and the objectives set forth by the Strategic Plan 2020-2022;
  • encouraging the management's commitment to achieving common objectives at the Group level, promoting the coordination and integration of the activities of the various companies belonging to the same Group;
  • promoting the loyalty of the Beneficiaries of the Plan, and in particular promoting the retention of those who hold "key" positions within the Group;
  • safeguarding the Company's competitiveness on the labor market.

2.2 Key variables and performance indicators considered for purposes of awarding incentives under the Plan

The Plan envisages the disbursement of an incentive composed of a component in Shares and a monetary component, the amount of which may vary depending upon the level of achievement of three-year performance objectives, from zero (and therefore, if none of the objectives is achieved, no incentive is awarded) up to a maximum of 280% or 180% of the base amount, respectively for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager or for the other Beneficiaries. The following table indicates the performance objectives upon which the disbursement of incentives under the LTI Plan is conditioned, as well as the related weight:

Performance objective Weight
Average TSR (

installed capacity at the end of 2022
15%

CO2

10%

The decision to condition the disbursement of the incentive provided under the LTI Plan upon the prior achievement of specific performance objectives aims at fully aligning the Beneficiaries' interests with those of the Shareholders. In addition, such objectives, which apply in an identical manner to all Beneficiaries of the Plan, have a three-year term in order to encourage the results consolidation and the enhancement of the long-term characteristics of the same Plan.

( 2 ) The average Total Shareholders Return (TSR) of Enel and of the EUROSTOXX Utilities Index – EMU is calculated in the three-month period preceding the beginning and the end of the performance period (January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2022), in order to sterilize any possible volatility on the market.

( 3 ) Emissions linked to Group's plants' production.

For further information on the performance objectives upon which the disbursement of the incentive provided under the LTI Plan is conditioned, see paragraph 4.5 below.

2.3 Criteria for determining the amount to be awarded

The amount to be awarded to each Beneficiary of the Plan will be determined by taking as a reference a percentage of the fixed remuneration; this percentage is identified on the basis of each Beneficiary's category. For this purpose, the Beneficiaries of the Plan are divided into 4 categories, which provide for the disbursement of an incentive ranging between 30% and 130% of the fixed remuneration in the event of achievement of the performance objectives at target level (as referred to in paragraph 4.5 below), in compliance with the principles of Enel's remuneration policy for 2020 submitted to the approval of the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting convened on May 14, 2020. Such principles provide, inter alia, that:

  • there must be an adequate balance between the fixed component and the variable component and, within the latter, between the short-term variable and the long-term variable;
  • the fixed component must be sufficient to remunerate the work done by the person involved (taking into account the responsibilities assigned to the latter) in the event that the variable component was not disbursed due to the failure to achieve the performance objectives;
  • the percentage incidence of the variable incentive on the fixed remuneration must rise on the basis of the role held and the responsibilities assigned.

In particular, the incentive disbursable to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel under the LTI Plan is equal to (i) 130% of the fixed remuneration, in the event of achievement of the performance objectives at target level, and (ii) to 280% of the fixed remuneration, in the event of achievement of the maximum level of over-performance of such objectives.

If the performance objectives are not achieved, no incentive under the LTI Plan will be disbursed.

2.4 Reasons underlying the possible decision to award compensation plans based upon financial instruments not issued by Enel

Not applicable.

2.5 Significant tax and accounting implications which affected the definition of the Plan

The LTI Plan structure was not influenced by the applicable tax laws or accounting implications.

2.6 Support, if any, for the Plan from the Special Fund aimed at incentivizing workers' shareholdings in companies ("Fondo speciale per l'incentivazione della partecipazione dei lavoratori nelle imprese"), pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 112, of Law no. 350 dated December 24, 2003

Not applicable.

The Shares to be distributed under the Plan will be previously purchased – on the basis of a specific authorization by the Shareholders' Meeting – by Enel and/or its subsidiaries, within the limits and with the methods set forth by the applicable laws.

3.5 Role played by each Director in determining the Plan's characteristics

The entire process of defining the LTI Plan's characteristics was carried out on a jointly basis and with the proposing and consultative support of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the Corporate Governance Code and with the best corporate governance practices in this matter. It should also be noted that the resolution through which the Board of Directors adopted the scheme of the LTI Plan to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval was unanimously approved;It should be noted that the Chief Executive Officer in office as of the date of the Information Document did not take part in the discussion and resolutionresolutions on the Plan itself since he would be one the Beneficiaries of the Plan should he be re-appointed in this role by the Board of Directors which will be elected by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called on May 14, 2020.

The LTI Plan is submitted to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting of Enel called on May 14, 2020. After the Meeting, in case of approval of the LTI Plan by the latter, the Board of Directors will hold a meeting in order to take the relevant decisions for the implementation of the Plan, including those regarding the determination of the maximum number of Shares awardable to the Beneficiaries under the Plan.

3.8 Market price registered on the above-mentioned dates, for the financial instruments on which the Plan is based

Shares market price at the moment of the awarding of the LTI Plan to the Beneficiaries will be communicated pursuant to Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, of the Consob Issuers' Regulation.

Illustrated below is the market price of the Shares registered on the dates indicated in paragraph 3.6 above:

  • reference price of the Enel share registered on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on March 10, 2020: Euro 6.704;
  • reference price of the Enel share registered on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on March 19, 2020: Euro 5.830.;

may coincide with the date of dissemination of material information within the meaning set forth under Article 17 of the EU Regulation no. 596/2014.

Decisions regarding the awarding under the LTI Plan will be taken by Enel's Board of Directors, upon prior approval of the same Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting, in compliance with the applicable laws, also on market abuse, as well as the internal regulations and procedures. Therefore, there was no need to arrange a specific safeguard in this regard.

However, it shall be noted that Beneficiaries' right to receive the awarded Shares will arise after a three-year vesting period, as described in paragraph 4.2 below, subject and proportionally to the achievement of the performance objectives (see paragraph 4.5 below).

4. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LTI PLAN

4.1 Structure of the Plan

The LTI Plan provides for the awarding to the Beneficiaries of an incentive composed of a component in Shares and a monetary component, that may vary – depending upon the level of achievement of three-year performance objectives upon which the Plan is conditioned (see paragraph 4.5 below) – from zero (and therefore, in the event that none of the objectives is achieved, no incentive will be assigned) up to a maximum of 280% or 180% of the base value respectively for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel or for the other Beneficiaries.

Without prejudice to the above, with regard to the total amount of the accrued incentive, the Plan envisages that (i) with reference to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel, the incentive – up to 100% of the base amount – will be entirely disbursed in Shares and (ii) with reference to the other Beneficiaries, the incentive – up to 50% of the base amount –will be entirely disbursed in Shares.

The monetary component is calculated as the difference between the total amount of the incentive determined in the final assessment of the Plan and the proportion of incentive to be disbursed in Shares. For this purpose, the value of the share-based component of the incentive is calculated considering the arithmetical mean of Enel's daily VWAP (4 ) detected on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the three-month period preceding the beginning of the performance period (i.e., October 1 – December 31, 2019). Specifically, in the aforesaid three-month period, the arithmetical mean of the daily VWAPs was equal to Euro 6.8514.

4.2 Period of implementation of the Plan

The exercise of the LTI Plan is conditioned upon the achievement of specific performance objectives over three-year period 2020-2022 (the "performance period"). If such objectives are achieved, the awarded incentive will be disbursed to Beneficiaries – for both the share-based and monetary component – for 30% in 2023 and, with respect to the remaining 70%, in 2024. The disbursement of a significant portion of the long-term variable remuneration (equal to 70% of the total) is therefore deferred to the second

( 4 ) Index calculated considering the weighted average price for the traded volumes, within a trading day, excluding opening and closing auctions, block trades and market cross trades.

financial year after the relevant three-years period of the LTI Plan performance objectives ("deferred payment").

(*) In the event the performance objectives are achieved.

4.3 Expiry of the Plan

The LTI Plan will expire in 2024.

4.4 Maximum number of financial instruments awarded in each fiscal year to the persons identified by name or to the indicated categories

In line with the foregoing, the LTI Plan envisages that, subject and proportionally to the achievement of the performance objectives, until 100% of the base amount of the incentive – for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager – and until 50% of the base amount of the incentive – for the other Beneficiaries – will be disbursed in Shares with the timings set forth in the previous paragraph 4.2.

The information concerning the maximum number of Shares that will be awarded to Beneficiaries under the LTI Plan will be available only once the Board of Directors, upon prior approval of the same Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting, will award the incentive to the Beneficiaries (see paragraph 3.7 above).

As of today, the estimated maximum number of Shares to be awarded under the Plan, for the entire three-year performance period, is approximately equal to 1.62 million ( 5 ), representing about 0.02% of Enel's share capital.

4.5 Methods of implementing the Plan and related provisions

The awarding of the incentive set forth by the LTI Plan is conditioned upon the achievement of the following performance objectives:

( 5 ) This figure was determined considering the arithmetical mean of Enel's daily VWAPs detected on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the three-month period preceding the beginning of the performance period (i.e., October 1 – December 31, 2019). In the aforesaid three-month period the arithmetical mean of the daily VWAPs was equal to Euro 6.8514.

( 7 ) The ROACE is calculated as the ratio between: (i) Ordinary EBIT (Ordinary Operating Results), determined excluding the items which cannot be referred to the ordinary business, i.e. the capital gains related to asset divesture and the asset write-downs due to impairment considered as extraordinary for the purpose of determining the Group ordinary net income (Group Net Income) and (ii) average NIC (Net Invested Capital), determined as the semi-sum between the figures at the beginning and at the end of the relevant year, after deducting the Discontinued Operations and the asset write-downs due to impairment, sterilized in determining ordinary EBIT.

For the final assessment, the (positive and negative) impacts arising from variations in the exchange rates, in the scope of consolidation or in the international accounting standards, will be sterilized.

During the final assessment, the extraordinary events which– including the health emergency related to the COVID-19 epidemic – that according to the management deems maymight have affected the value of the relevant KPI, will be pointed outpresented to the Nomination and Compensation Committee, in order to allow the latter to assess their possible sterilization.

( 8 ) Emissions from the Group's plants' production.

( 9 ) The LTI Plan provides that, if the target level of the objective is reached, it will be granted (i) to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel, an incentive equal to 130% of the base amount; (ii) to the other Beneficiaries, an incentive equal to 100% of the base amount awarded to each of them.

( 10) The LTI Plan provides that, if the second over-performance threshold of the objective is reached, it will be granted (i) to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel, an incentive equal to 280% of the base amount; (ii) to the other Beneficiaries, an incentive equal to 180% of the base amount awarded to each of them.

coincides with the one indicated in the Strategic Plan for 2020-2022), no incentive will be assigned.

Objective Target Over I Over II
Renewable sources 59.7% 59.9% 60.0%

/Total net consolidated

The objective linked to CO2 emissions will be measured on the basis of the performance scale set forth below (with a linear interpolation between the different thresholds). Again, if the performance does not reach the target (whose measure coincides with the one indicated in the Strategic Plan 2020-2022), no incentive will be assigned.

Objective Target Over I Over II
CO2
Emissions
(gCO2/KWheq) of the
Group in 2022 (11)
<=220 <=215 <=210

For each objective, upon the achievement of the target level, it is envisaged the assignment of an incentive equal to 130% (for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel) or to 100% (for the other Beneficiaries) of the base amount, whereas upon the achievement of an over-performance, an incentive equal to (i) 150% (at Over I level) or (ii) 280% (for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel) or 180% (for other Beneficiaries) of the base amount (at Over II level) will be disbursed, as indicated here below:

( 11) At the time of the final assessment of the objective related to reduction of CO2 emissions in 2022, it will have to be considered any negative impact of possible new laws, regulations and guidelines and/or amendments to these latter on (i) the shutdown of nuclear power plants, the shutdown and/or the gas conversion of thermoelectric power plants according to scheduled timings, as well as on (ii) the energy concessions of Enel Group companies, its subsidiaries and joint operations.

Therefore if, with regard to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel, for example:

  • all the objectives (TSR, ROACE and reduction of CO2 emissions) were to reach the target level, the disbursable remuneration would amount to 130% of the fixed remuneration (and the incentive would be assigned (i) as for 100% of the fixed remuneration, in Shares and (ii) as for the remaining 30% in cash);
  • the only objective achieved was the TSR, at a level equal to the target, the disbursable remuneration would amount to 65% of the fixed remuneration (and the incentive would be entirely disbursed in Shares);
  • all the objectives (TSR, ROACE and reduction of CO2 emissions) were to reach the Over I level, the disbursable remuneration would amount to 150% of the fixed remuneration (and the incentive would be disbursed (i) as for 100% of the fixed remuneration, in Shares and (ii) as for the remaining 50%, in cash);
  • all the objectives (TSR, ROACE and reduction of CO2 emissions) were to reach the Over II level, the disbursable remuneration would amount to 280% of the fixed remuneration (and the incentive would be disbursed (i) for 100% of the fixed remuneration in Shares and (ii) for the remaining 180% in cash).

The Company is entitled to claim-back the variable remuneration paid, as well as to withhold the variable remuneration subject to deferral, if the data on the basis of which it has been disbursed or calculated turn out to be clearly erroneous (clawback and malus clause).

4.6 Availability restrictions imposed upon the financial instruments distributed

No availability restriction is envisaged upon the Shares once they are distributed to Beneficiaries subject and proportionally to the achievement of the performance objectives.

4.7 Conditions subsequent, if any, in connection with the Plan in the event that the Beneficiaries were to conclude hedging transactions that allow for the neutralization of any selling restrictions applicable to the financial instruments

Not applicable, as no selling restrictions on the Shares are envisaged once they are distributed to Beneficiaries.

4.8 Effects caused by the termination of the employment relationship

In the event of termination of the directorship relationship or of termination of the openended or fixed-term employment relationship for voluntary resignation, without just cause, or revocation or dismissal for just cause or justified personal reason, the Beneficiary loses any right related to the LTI Plan.

If, before the end of the performance period, the termination of the directorship relationship occurs (and, therefore, also the managerial relationship of the General Manager terminates) due to the expiry of the mandate with no simultaneous renewal of the same, it is provided that the disbursement under the incentive would take place at the natural expiry of the vesting period of the Plan, depending upon the level of achievement of the performance objectives envisaged under the Plan itself; in this case, however, the disbursement will be made pro rata temporis until the date of termination of the directorship and employment relationship.

4.9 Indications of any other causes for the cancellation of the Plan

No causes for cancellation of the Plan apply.

4.10 Reasons underlying the possible redemption of financial instruments assigned under the Plan

No redemption clauses in favor of Enel related to the Shares are envisaged.

4.11 Loans or other assistance, if any, for the purchase of the financial instruments

Not applicable.

4.12 Estimated expected cost for Enel as of the date of the award

With regard to the monetary component of the incentive, the total maximum economic cost of the LTI Plan (borne by Enel and/or its subsidiaries), estimated as of the date of this Information DocumentApril 29, 2020, amounts to approximately Euro 49 million.

With regard to the share-based component of the incentive, the total maximum economic cost of the LTI Plan (borne by Enel) will be determinable once the maximum number of Shares awardable under the Plan is known (see paragraph 3.7 above). That being said, on the basis of (i) the maximum number of Shares indicated – by way of illustration – in paragraph 4.4 above and (ii) the arithmetical mean of Enel's daily VWAPs detected on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the three-month period preceding the beginning of the performance period (i.e., October 1 – December 31, 2019), the overall maximum cost (borne by Enel) is estimated to be approximately equal to Euro 11 million.

Further information will be disclosed pursuant to Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, of the Consob Issuers' Regulation.

4.13 Dilution effects, if any, caused by the Plan

As of today, no dilution effects on the share capital are envisaged, since the Shares necessary to implement the LTI Plan will be purchased as indicated in paragraph 3.4 above.

4.14 Any limits established for the exercise of the voting right and for the allocation of the economic rights

The LTI Plan does not provide for any limit to the exercise of the voting right or the economic rights associated with the Shares once they are distributed to Beneficiaries, subject and proportionally to the achievement of the performance objectives.

4.15 If the shares are not traded on regulated markets, any useful information for a full assessment of the value attributable to them

Not applicable.

4.16 – 4.23

Paragraphs related to stock options award are not applicable.
