RE: Significant Event

To whom it may concern,

Pursuant to articles 9 and 10, paragraph 2 of the Securities Market Law (18,045), the provisions of General Norm 30 of the Superintendence, and in the exercise of the powers bestowed upon me, I hereby inform you as significant event that on January 07, our subsidiary Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa Chile) has accepted the terms of the final and definitive compensation amount for claims related to the effects of the earthquake on February 27, 2010 . This was informed by the insurance adjuster “Beckett S.A. Liquidadores de Seguros” by letter dated January 7, 2013. Such terms have also been accepted by all insurance companies.

Regarding the facilities of Bocamina, property of Endesa Chile, a US$ 85,665,673 compensation agreement has been reached by concept of loss of profits and property damage (US$ 66,165,673 and US$ 19,500,000 respectively), as a result of the aforementioned earthquake. Our subsidiary has received cash advances due to the incident for an amount of US$ 42,665,673.

Regarding Bocamina II, also owned by Endesa Chile, the agreement involves compensation of US$ 112,999,528, of which US$ 2,953,306 correspond to material damages and US$ 110,046.222 to loss of profits as a result of the damage (ALOP).

As of December 31, 2012, our subsidiary Endesa Chile will record US$ 114,711,895 in its operating result corresponding to the compensation for loss of profits. The above represents a benefit for Enersis of US$ 55,043,356 after income taxes and excluding the benefit attributable for minority interests of Endesa Chile.

Sincerely yours,

Massimo Tambosco
