Appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors

Pursuant to Article 25.1 of the Corporate Bylaws, the Shareholders’ Meeting elects the Board of Statutory Auditors, which consists of three regular members, as well as three alternate Statutory Auditors.

All the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors must meet the requirements of integrity and professionalism provided by the Ministry of Justice Decree no. 162 of March 30, 2000, as integrated (for the professionalism requirements only) by the provisions of Article 25.1 of the Corporate Bylaws. With respect to the causes of non-eligibility and the limits to the maximum number of managing and supervisory offices that members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may hold, laws and regulations in force shall apply. For the purpose of filing slates of candidates, Shareholders are invited to acknowledge also (i) the recommendations on the independence of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors set forth in the Corporate Governance Code of the listed companies, (ii) the “Diversity Policy of the Board of Statutory Auditors of Enel S.p.A.” approved by the Board of Statutory Auditors of Enel S.p.A. on January 29, 2018 (the “Diversity Policy”) and available on the Company’s website (www.enel.com) in the page “Bylaws, Rules And Policies” of the section “Investors – Governance”, as well as (iii) the specific “Guidelines to Shareholders on the composition of the new Board of Statutory Auditors”, approved by the expiring Board of Statutory Auditors on March 29, 2019 and available on the Company’s website (www.enel.com) relating to this Meeting.

Pursuant to Article 25.2 of the Corporate Bylaws, both regular and alternate Statutory Auditors are elected on the basis of the slates filed by the Shareholders who, alone or together with other Shareholders, result to own at least 0.5% of the company’s share capital. The ownership of such shareholding is determined by taking into account the shares that are registered in the name of the Shareholder on the date on which the slates are filed with the Company.

Each Shareholder shall not file, even indirectly through a third person or trust companies, more than one slate. Shareholders which are part of the same group and those who are part of a shareholders' agreement relating to the shares of the Company shall not file, even indirectly through a third person or trust companies, more than a slate. Each candidate shall be indicated only in one slate, under penalty of ineligibility.

The slates shall be divided into two sections, one for the candidates for the office of regular Statutory Auditor and the other one for the candidates for the office of alternate Statutory Auditor; within each section, candidates must be numbered progressively, and their number must not exceed the number of the members to be elected. The first candidate on each slate section must be a registered auditor and have practiced the profession of legal auditor for a period of no less than three years.

According to the applicable laws and the Corporate Bylaws on gender balance, slates which, considering both sections, contain a number of candidates equal to or above three shall also include, both in the first two places of the section of the slate relating to the regular Statutory Auditors, and in the first two places of the section of the slate relating to the alternate Statutory Auditors, candidates belonging to different genders.

Slates of candidates shall be filed by Shareholders at the Company’s registered office, no later than twenty-five days before the Meeting; however, considering that such term ends on a non-working day (i.e. April 21, 2019), it shall be considered as postponed to the first working day available following such date, i.e. April 23, 2019.

The slates shall be filed as follows: (i) by hand delivery of the relevant documentation to the offices of Enel S.p.A., Legal and Corporate Affairs, Viale Regina Margherita no. 137 - 00198, Rome, from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm; (ii) through the specific section of the Company’s website (www.enel.com) reserved to this Meeting; (iii) by fax to no. +39 06.83055028 – Ref: “Filing of the Board of Statutory Auditors slates”.

The Shareholders who file the slates shall also file a declaration containing the information on their identity and their overall shareholding in the Company’s share capital. The communication certifying the ownership of the aforementioned shareholding may also be provided to the Company after the filing of the slates but, in any case, no later than twenty-one days before the date of the Meeting (i.e. no later than April 26, 2019, as April 25, 2019 is a non-working day).

The slates should also be accompanied by: (i) a declaration of the Shareholders other than those who, also jointly, hold a controlling or relative majority shareholding in the Company, certifying the absence of any relationships of affiliation with such shareholders pursuant to Article 144-quinquies of the Issuers’ Regulation approved by Consob through Resolution no. 11971 of May 14, 1999 (“Consob Issuers’ Regulation”), taking also into account the recommendations made by the same Consob with Communication no. DEM/9017893 of February 26, 2009; and (ii) a detailed information on the personal traits and professional qualifications of the candidates as well as a statement by which the candidates certify to meet the requirements provided for by the law and accept their election.

Considering that, pursuant to Article 2400, last paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code, after the election but before the acceptance of the office, all managing and supervising offices held in other companies must be disclosed to the Meeting, and taking also into account the limits to the number of offices that members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may hold in management and supervisory bodies pursuant to Article 148-bis of Consolidate Financial Act and Articles 144-duodecies and following of Consob Issuers’ Regulation, please provide, together with the slates, the statements of the candidates certifying their compliance with the aforementioned limits as well as the curricula vitae disclosing the managing or supervising offices held in other companies, with the recommendation of ensuring their update until the date of the Meeting.

It should be noted that if – at the deadline of the above-mentioned term for filing the slates (i.e. April 23, 2019) – only one slate has been filed or if only slates by Shareholders which are in relationship among them pursuant to the aforementioned Article 144-quinquies of the Issuers’ Regulation have been filed, the term to file slates, pursuant to Article 144-sexies, paragraph 5, of Consob Issuers’ Regulation will be postponed up to the third day following such date and, precisely, up to 5:00 pm of April 26, 2019. Meeting this specific time deadline is required to allow the Company to make public the slates filed by the Shareholders within the term set forth in Article 144-octies of Consob Issuers’ Regulation, that also expires on April 26, 2019. It should be also noted that, in such case, the threshold provided for filing the slates shall be reduced by half, thus being equal to the 0.25% of the share capital.

It is also reminded that, according to applicable laws and to the Corporate Bylaws, the chairmanship of the Board of Statutory Auditors will fall to the Statutory Auditor drawn from the minority slates.

For further information on the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors, please see the explanatory report of the Board of Directors on the relevant item on the agenda.
