Rome, October 28th, 2021 - Enel S.p.A. (“Enel” or the “Company”) today launched a consent solicitation addressed to the holders of a subordinated, non-convertible hybrid bond issued by the Company in order to align its terms and conditions with those of perpetual subordinated, non-convertible hybrid bonds launched by Enel in 2020 and 2021.
To this end, the Company has called, at first and single call on December 9th, 2021, the Meeting of the noteholders of the 900,001,000 euros bond maturing May 25th, 2080 with 900,001,000 euros in circulation (ISIN: XS2000719992) (the “Bond”).
The proposed changes to the terms and conditions of the Bond, submitted for approval by the aforementioned Meeting, are illustrated in the notice of call and in the documentation made available to the public in accordance with the modalities indicated below. More specifically, the proposed changes establish that:
· the Bond, which currently has a specified long-term maturity date, would become due and payable and hence have to be repaid by the Company only in the event of winding up or liquidation of the Company;
· the events of default, envisaged in the terms and conditions and additional documentation that regulate the Bond, would be eliminated.
The notice of call of the Meeting of the noteholders and the explanatory report of the Board of Directors on the item of the agenda are available to the public at the registered office of the Company, on its website (www.enel.com) and at the authorized storage mechanism “eMarket STORAGE” (www.emarketstorage.com).
