Santiago, March 25, 2009
Ger. Gen. N°54/2009

Mr. Guillermo Larrían R.
Superintendent
Superintendence of Securities and Insurance
Av. Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins 1449 Santiago

Dear Sir,

In accordance with articles 9 and 10, Point 2 of the Law 18,045 and the provisions set forth in the General Norm N° 30 issued by your Superintendence, and under the powers conferred on me, I inform you, as material information, that at the board meeting of Enersis S.A. held today, it was unanimously agreed to proposed to the General Shareholders Meeting of Enersis S.A. to be held on April 15, 2009 to distribute a final dividend of Ch$6.1 per share, this represents a 35.27% of the Company’s distributable income. After deducting the interim dividend of Ch$1.53931 per share paid in December 2008, the amount to be distributed to shareholders and paid in April 2009, would be Ch$4.56069 per share.

This would represent a total distribution of ThCh$148,911,848 as of December 31, 2008.

The above modifies the current dividend policy which determines the distribution of a final dividend of 70% of the distributable income of the Company. This proposed modification to the policy was agreed to as a prudent measure in connection with the world financial crisis, when Company’s liquidity becomes a very important aspect in a company’s financial plan. Additionally, the proposed dividend policy would represent a 53% increase compared with last year’s dividend.

Sincerely yours,

Ignacio Antoñanzas
Chief Executive Officer
