Gas Natural Tender Offer Bidding Story: On 5 September 2005 Gas Natural launched an unsolicited offer for the entire share capital of Endesa for a consideration of € 7. 34 in cash and 0. 569 shares of Gas Natural for each Endesa share (the “Gas. Nat Offer”), valuing each share of Endesa at € 21. 3. This implied a 14. 8% premium over the previous day close (based on the price of Gas Natural before announcement) and an offer value of € 22. 6 bn In conjunction, Gas Natural announced it had reached an agreement with Iberdrola S. A. (“Iberdrola”) to transfer certain assets of the combined entity to Iberdrola, subject to the transaction being completed, (“the Iberdrola Agreement”). The objectives of the Iberdrola Agreement were to show proactiveness in relation to anti-trust issues and address part of the financing of the Gas. Nat Offer On 21 April 2006, the Spanish Supreme Court also suspended Gas. Nat Offer on the basis that the Gas. Nat Offer could be illegal since it did not follow the recommendation from the TDC(1). Effectiveness of the suspension of Gas. Nat Offer was conditional on Endesa making a deposit of € 1, 000 m Strategic Rationale: Becoming a key integrated player in the electricity and gas sector in Spain and reinforce its position in LATAM countries Reaction: Endesa considered the offer unacceptable because not consistent with the fair value of Endesa 9 Note: (1) Competition Defence Tribunal Defensive tactic: sale of € 3 bn of non-strategic assets, proceeds distributed through extraordinary
E. ON Tender Offer Bidding Story: On 21 February 2006, E. ON publicly announced the launch of a counteroffer for Endesa offering € 27. 50 in cash per share, (the “E. ON Offer”) The E. ON Offer represented a 48. 2% premium to Endesa’s undisturbed closing price on 2 September 2005 and a 24. 5% premium to the nominal value of the Gas. Nat Offer as of 24 February Endesa’s Board of Directors welcomed the fact that the E. ON Offer was superior in value to the Gas. Nat Offer, but still believed that the price offered did not reflect the real value of Endesa On 27 September 2006, E. ON announced its commitment to increase the offer to € 35 ps, all in cash (“E. ON Second Offer”) On 2 April 2007 Acciona/Enel/E. ON reached an agreement to avoid a potential situation in which none of the parties would achieve any control of Endesa and the shareholder structure would result unsustainable in the medium to long term Following the agreement E. ON withdrew the offer Strategic Rationale: Exposure to markets where E. ON was not present such as Spain, where they would become the biggest player, and LATAM countries Reaction: The Spanish Government set a series of regulatory measures to contrast the acquisition of the biggest energy player by a foreign enterprise 10

Enel Disposal Plan During the course of 2009 Enel announced its intention to realize a significant disposals program with the main purpose of improving its leverage given the material increase after the acquisition of Endesa The main assets that Enel planned to dispose were the following: Enel Linee Alta Tensione Srl (“ELAT”) 18, 583 Km network of high voltage power network Enel Distribuzione Sp. A sold the entire share capital of Enel Linee Alta Tensione Srl to Terna Sp. A, pursuant to the sale agreement signed between Enel Sp. A, Enel Distribuzione and Terna on 19 December 2008. Leonardo & Co. , Mediobanca and Banca IMI served as independent advisors to Enel Distribuzione, whereas Terna availed itself of the services of Goldman Sachs and J. P. Morgan Purchase price of € 1, 152 m was paid in full at the time of closing Enel Rete Gas operates in the natural gas distribution sector in Italy, with a market share of roughly 12% in terms of gas distributed Enel Distribuzione Sp.

Greenshoe option for 210 m shares to reach an offer size of € 2. 6 bn The proceeds after fees from the transaction were € 2. 2 bn 21
Enel Rights Issue Following the transaction, in order to preserve its rating, on 12 March 2009 Enel announced to the market (strategy and FY 2008 results presentation) the intention to launch a ca. € 8. 0 bn rights issue for balance sheet strengthening purposes On 29 April, Enel’s EGM has approved the envisaged € 8. 0 bn rights issue On 6 May Enel’s Bo. D has approved the capital increase and provided instructions to file the prospectus of the offering with Consob The rights issue has been underwritten by a syndicate of banks including: Mediobanca, Banca IMI and JP Morgan acting as Joint Global Co-ordinators and Joint Bookrunners Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Uni. Credit and Bank of America / Merrill Lynch acting as Co-bookrunners CDP, exercised both the rights granted directly to it and the rights granted to the MEF (following the sale of the MEF rights to CDP). More specifically, CDP subscribed 31. 24% of the offered shares for roughly € 2. 5 bn.

Acciona Put Option on Endesa Shares Enel granted to Acciona the right to sell its direct and indirect stake in Endesa. This option could be exercised at any time between April 2010 until 2017 The price per Endesa share would be the higher of: The fair price (as established by investment banks) The Acciona-Enel offer price (€ 40. 16/share) adjusted for the cost of carry (3 m Euribor plus 85 bps less any dividend distributions) The exercise of the put could be accelerated with a mutual agreement of both Enel and Acciona Following the acquisition of Endesa there have been several articles and comments by the managers of Enel and Acciona indicating that the relationship between the two companies has not been as smooth as desired Tensions may be the result of two very different management styles: Acciona is perhaps the more dynamic partner, looking to maximize its negotiating position at all times, and not afraid to be aggressive Enel is a more structured and complex company but probably more oriented towards long term value creation at Endesa. Additionally, while Enel is the largest shareholder, it is the junior partner in terms of control, which could also 23 accentuate the friction
Early Break-up of the Acciona put on Endesa On 20 February 2009, Enel announced that it had reached an agreement with Acciona for an early break up of the Endesa put (equivalent to 25. 01% of the company) for a total consideration of € 11. 1 bn (the “Transaction”). Following completion, Enel would control 92. 06% of Endesa, with the remaining 7. 94% being free float The European Commission (“EC”) granted Enel clearance, on 8 April 2009, to the acquisition of sole control of Endesa (CNMV declared no squeeze out required) Key terms of the Transaction are as follows: The total consideration of € 11. 1 bn is equivalent to € 42. 0 per Endesa share, in line with the put option agreement exercisable from March 2010, and representing a 143% premium on Endesa’s current share price of € 17. 9 as of 26 May 2009 € 1. 5 bn of the cash price would be represented by the extraordinary dividend, which Endesa has distributed in March 2009 (the amount of the total extraordinary dividend distributed by Endesa is equal to € 6. 2 bn) In the context of the Transaction, Enel would also transfer € 2. 9 bn worth of renewable and hydro assets from Endesa to Acciona The remaining consideration to be paid by Enel, after dividends and asset transfer, would be € 6. 7 bn The Transaction has been financed through a syndicated loan of € 8. 0 bn agreed with a pool of 12 banks, of which € 5. 5 bn due in 2014 and € 2. 5 bn due in 2016 24

Enel Acquisition of Endesa Focus on Equity Swap Contracts 36
General Description of a Total Return Swap (“TRS”) The most simple way to consider a TRS (or CFD) is that the buyer of the TRS (the client) is fully exposed to changes in value of the underlying asset without physical ownership. Can be Cash- or Physically-Settled A TRS is a derivative instrument that allows the buyer (the Equity Amount Receiver) to receive from the seller (the Equity Amount Payer) the appreciation compared to the initial price or pay the depreciation in the share price of the underlying stock (the Equity Amount) At maturity or upon early unwind, the transaction can be Physically-settled (in which case the buyer buys shares from the seller at the initial price) Cash-settled During the life of the transaction, the buyer pays interest plus a spread and receives payments equal to the dividends paid by the underlying stock In order to mitigate the credit risk taken by the seller, the buyer would usually post cash collateral up-front corresponding to a percentage of the notional amount, and margin calls in case the share price decreases In order to hedge itself, the bank would usually purchase shares in the market. The price per share achieved by the bank for the execution of Underlying price its hedge would be the Initial Price of the TRS Increase in underlying value Client receives increase in value above initial price at maturity Initial price Decrease in underlying value Client pays decrease in value below initial price at maturity Time 37 Maturity
Cash Flows in a Total Return Swap Flows During the Trade Initial Price = 100 During Cash collateral Dividends Swap agreement Client Bank Initial price = 100 Bank Client Interest Purchase of hedge Market Physically-settled Return of cash collateral Shares Bank Client 100 Cash-settled Final Price = 70 Final Price = 150 Return of cash collateral 30 50 Client Bank 150 Client Bank 70 Sell hedge at 150 Market Shares 38 Sell hedge at 70 70 Market Shares
Total Return Equity Swap (TRS)/Contract For Difference (CFD) Does Do Does Not do ▲ A TRS gives the purchaser economic ▼ A TRS/CFD does not mean that the purchaser exposure to an underlying asset (e. g. shares) has bought the underlying asset, only exposure to changes in its economic value ▲ A TRS with physical settlement agreed upon signing gives the purchaser the right to buy shares at maturity ▲ When entering into a TRS/CFD, the bank may decide to hedge itself by buying the underlying asset ▼ A TRS/CFD with cash settlement agreed upon signing does not give the purchaser the right to buy shares. Only cash, based on the performance of the stock, is exchanged at maturity ▼ The bank does not buy the underlying asset ▲ If the bank decides to hedge itself and buy shares, this is completely independent in the way it manages the hedge and how any voting rights in relation to the hedge are voted on behalf of the purchaser of the TRS ▼ The purchaser cannot in any way influence the bank’s hedging strategy and voting decisions ▲ In certain jurisdictions there is no requirement to publicly disclose cash settled TRS/CFD ▼ A TRS/CFD does not exist to “buy shares avoiding disclosure” 39

B EDP on Optimus Sale Plus Long Total Equity Return Swap 40 Obtaining leverage economic exposure with limited or no public knowledge Acquirer needs regulatory approval (competition authority, local regulator, HSR…) before making any acquisition Delay creates a disadvantage for client Acquirer can enter into a cash or physically settled swap, where acquirer has the option to physically settle the swap if approval has been granted If regulatory approval is received, swap will be physically settled and if not, swap will be cash settled and shares placed in the market or to a new buyer In situations where counterparty is forced to divest its stake (e. g. commitment to competition authorities following M&A acquisition), it can retain economic exposure by selling the shares to the bank and entering into a Long Total Return Swap Counterparty loses voting rights and legal ownership Transaction is cash settled, unless counterparty can buy back the shares
