Enel SpA Approves New Bonds Issue Up to EUR 5 Billion

Enel SpA announced that the Company's Board of Directors approved the issue of one or more bonds by December 31, 2013, for a total of up to EUR 5 billion. The issues form part of the strategy to extend the average maturity of the Group’s consolidated debt and to optimize the profile of its medium and long-term maturities. The bonds could be placed with institutional or retail investors, depending upon the opportunities presented by the market. The bonds may be issued directly by Enel or by its Dutch subsidiary Enel Finance International NV (guaranteed by the Parent Company), depending upon the opportunities this second option may present for placement of the bonds on foreign markets. At the same time, the Board of Directors also revoked its resolution of November 9, 2011, authorizing the issue of one or more bonds by December 31, 2012, for a total of up to EUR 5 billion, to be placed with institutional or retail investors. The revocation did not affect the validity and the effects of the issues carried out and the guarantees granted in execution of that resolution.
