Appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors

Pursuant to Article 25.1 of the Corporate Bylaws, the Shareholders' Meeting appoints the Board of Statutory Auditors, which consists of three regular Statutory Auditors, and three alternate Statutory Auditors. Both regular and alternate Statutory Auditors are appointed 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 the minimum equity interest to the share capital of the Company required for the purpose of filing the slates 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.

Pursuant to Article 25.2 of the Corporate Bylaws, 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 that 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 applicable laws 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.

Candidates for the office of Statutory Auditors must possess the requirements of integrity and professionalism provided for statutory auditors of listed companies 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 situations of ineligibility and to 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.

The slates 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 would end on a non-working day (i.e.May 1, 2016), it will be postponed to the day after, with deadline on May 2, 2016. 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 dedicated to the Meeting; (iii) by fax to no. +39 06.83055028 – Ref: "Filing of the Board of Statutory Auditors slates". Together with the slates, information allowing the identification of the persons submitting the slates shall also be provided.

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 May 5, 2016). The slates shall 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 Consob Resolution no. 11971 of May 14, 1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation"), taking also into account the recommendations made by 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 declaration certifying their possession of the requirements provided for by the law and their acceptance of the appointment.

Considering that, pursuant to Article 2400, last paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code, after the appointment 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, 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. May 2, 2016) – only one slate has been filed or if only slates by Shareholders which are in relationship among them pursuant to Article 144-quinquies of the Issuers' Regulation have been filed – the term to file slates, pursuant to Article 144-sexies, paragraph 5, of the Issuers' Regulation will be postponed up to the third day following such date and, precisely, up to 5:00 pm of May 5, 2016. 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 the Issuers' Regulation, that also expires on May 5, 2016. 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 regular Statutory Auditor drawn from the minority slates.
