Ref.: SVS Ordinary Official Letter No. 26.429, dated 27 November, 2015 (the “Letter”).

Dear Sir,

 

In relation to the response to Official Letter No. 26.429, in references (“the Enersis Response”) submitted yesterday to the Superintendence (“SVS”) and communicated by a significant event, I hereby inform you that the Board of Directors of the Company, by the majority of its members and with the director Mr. Rafael Fernandez Morandé voting against, has approved the entire Enersis Response, in its session held today.

 

The Board of Directors, by the aforementioned majority, has decided to make the two legal opinions referring to the binding nature of the commitments formulated by Enel S.p.A. (“Enel”), which are mentioned in previous significant events, at the disposal of shareholders and the market in general. Both the Secretary of the Enel’s Board of Directors , Mr. Claudio Sartorelli, and one of the principal legal firms in the Republic of Italy, Ciomenti Studio Legale, represented by its partner, the attorney Mr. Michele Carpinelli, have indicated the binding nature of the abovementioned commitments of Enel under the terms that they are written, under Italian Law.

 

A copy of the letter sent by the Secretary of Enel S.p.A. is included below:

In addition, the Board of Directors, by the majority previously mentioned , has agreed to disclose that the author of the aforementioned commitments is Enel S.p.A. and not Enersis S.A., and therefore it does not correspond to the Board of Directors of the Company to modify or extend the contents of said commitments.

 

The director Mr. Rafael Fernandez M., in the session above-mentioned of the Board of Directors held today, expanded on his dissenting vote, stating the following in relation to the Enersis Response to the referenced Letter:

 

“I. –The SVS is right to delve deeper into the issues from its Letter No. 26.429 given that the letters of Enel contains vague topics and are full of exceptions. We cannot observe in them the obligations described in detail and clearly taken on by the controlling shareholder.

 

II. – It is my opinion that the way to move forward in order to convert statements of Enel S.p.A into binding commitments is:

 

a.       For the commitments to be written minutely in a way to make them enforceable.

b.       That Enel S.p.A. appoints a legal representative in Chile, domiciled in Chile and duly guaranteeing its presence in Chile.

c.       That Enel S.p.A guarantees its statements and commitments through, for example, setting up a guarantee of the shares of Enersis S.A. as “a pledge”.

 

In relation to the requirements of the SVS Letter No. 26.429, within what has been expressed before in points I, II and III, I will detail my opinions on each point.

 

1.       i) in relation to Non-Conventional Renewable Energies, it is a draft proposal between Endesa Chile and Enel Green Power that must be worked treated as a related-party transaction. In no way can it limit the autonomy of Endesa Chile to develop projects and businesses with third parties, in Chile and in South America.

 

It seems convenient to me that this agreement is being negotiated and signed before the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting related to the Spin-Off of the companies took place.

 

ii) In relation to the commitment of a unique investment vehicle, Enel says that it is maintained, given that it will not use other investment vehicles in South America different from Enersis Chile and Américas. But from the wording of the letters, some might argue that it is a new and conditional commitment.

 

This should be stated clearly that Enel, through Endesa España, assumed this commitment with regards to related-party transactions during Enersis’ capital increase, without any conditions.

 

It is my opinion, Enel S.p.A. must complement its letter in order to correct this issue, before the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings of the Spin-Off took place.

 

Second, in relation to the Public Offering of Shares of the eventual Endesa Américas, I maintain my statements which were expressed in my dissenting vote related to the SVS Official Letter No. 25.412.

I believe that it does contribute to the best interest of Enersis, given that it assumes the generation of value for Enersis shareholders, it offers Endesa Chile shareholders an option that they previously did not have and implies use of proceeds that were provided by the minority shareholders during the capital increase.

 

Third, in relation to the compensation to Endesa Chile for tax costs, I reiterate my position that it is Enel S.p.A. that must compensate Endesa Chile.

 

I maintain my opinions expressed on that matter in my dissenting vote related to the SVS Official Letter No. 25.412.

 

Enel S.p.A. must compensate Endesa Chile, in a period that should not exceed sixty days as of Endesa Chile incurring the payments of the tax costs.

 

The agreement of the majority of the Board of Directors that Enersis should compensate Endesa Chile is contrary to the best interest of Enersis.

 

The compensation to Endesa Chile should be treated as an related-party transaction, and therefore, I recommend that the Directors’ Committee of Endesa Chile should issue a pronouncement related to the establishment of conditions in which a detailed agreement must be signed between Endesa Chile and Enel S.p.A., enabling Endesa Chile to make enforceable and demandable with certainty the commitment of compensation, before the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Spin-Off took place.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Lucas D’Agnese
