Rome and San Salvador, July 6th, 2011 - The International Chamber of Commerce yesterday notified the parties of the ruling issued by the Arbitration Court on May 30, 2011 in Paris, in the international arbitration proceeding initiated by Enel Green Power against its partner in LaGeo, Inversiones Energéticas (INE), for recognition of its right to make investments in LaGeo by means of capitalization of such investments, thus achieving the majority stake in that companys share capital.
The Arbitration Court recognised Enel Green Powers right to make further investments through the joint venture LaGeo in geothermal energy in El Salvador and to capitalise such investments in LaGeo itself by means of the subscription of new shares in that company.
This right, based on the Agreement between LaGeo shareholders, signed on June 4th, 2002, will enable Enel Green Power to acquire the majority of LaGeos share capital.
In addition, the Arbitration Court dismissed in its entirety a counterclaim brought by INE against Enel Green Power for alleged damages. The Arbitration Court concluded that there are no legal grounds for this counterclaim.
