The dividend paid in 2021 was of 0.358 € per share (70% of FY 2020 Net Ordinary Income) and it was paid in two installments. The 2022-24 Strategic Plan establishes a fixed dividend per share over the next three years, growing by 13% to 0.43 € per share in 2024 (0.38 € per share in 2021, 0.40 € per share in 2022 and 0.43 € per share in 2023).

Information on dividends paid since the listing of Enel's shares in November 1999 is available on the "Dividend History" section of Enel’s website.

In order to receive a dividend, it is not necessary to own Enel shares for a minimum period. These shares just have to be recorded on a securities deposit account held by an authorized intermediary by the end of the trading day fixed as the record date; the record date coincides with the trading day following the ex-dividend date and preceding the payment date. In order for shares to be recorded on the securities deposit account within the record date, shares must be purchased within the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date considering that settlement cycle for Italian market is set at T+2 (meaning by “settlement cycle” the time-gap between the trade execution and the recording on the part of the intermediary).

No dividend reinvestment program is envisaged within Enel.

The "nationalization" of electric companies took place under Law n. 1643, dated December 6, 1962. Such a law provided that - without prejudice for certain exceptions – the ownership of companies that operated in the fields of electricity production, import-export, transportation, transformation, distribution, and sale from any source was to be transferred to the Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica (which become Enel after its privatization). Article 5 of the Law n. 1643, dated December 6, 1962, established specific criteria in order to determine the amount of the indemnification to be paid by the Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica to the persons entitled, depending on the type of company involved in the transfer, providing that such indemnification would be paid to the persons entitled within a period of ten years starting from July 1, 1963.

The Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica became a joint stock company under the Legislative Decree n. 333, dated July 11, 1992, which was then converted into Law n. 359, dated August 8, 1992. The privatization of the Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica did not imply the conversion of share certificates of nationalized companies into Enel's shares.

Considering that the privatization took place long ago, any right connected with shareholding in nationalized companies (indemnification) must be considered extinguished under article 2946 and subsequent ones of the Italian Civil Code.

The reverse stock split of Enel's shares was resolved by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting on May 25, 2001 (effective from July 9, 2001). Such operation was organized as follows: (I) conversion of the share capital into euros using the "ordinary" procedure prescribed by Article 17, paragraph 6, of Legislative Decree n. 213, dated June 24, 1998; consequently the nominal value of shares was increased from 1,000 lire to 0.5 euros (equivalent to 968.135 lire), with a reduction of 31.865 lire of the nominal value of each share. Given that the share capital of Enel before conversion amounted to 12,126,150,379,000 lire, the conversion resulted in a reduction of the share capital of 386,399,781,827 lire (equal to a percentage of about 3.2%, and, therefore, less than 5% limit set forth by the above mentioned Article 17, paragraph 6, of Legislative Decree n. 213, dated June 24, 1998), the amount of which, according to the procedure above, was attributed to the "legal reserve;" (II) the shares were grouped in a ratio of one share (dividend pari passu) with nominal value 1 euro for every two shares of nominal value of 0.5 euro; (III) in order to have an even number of shares to be reversed as mentioned, a Shareholders' resolution has also provided for the purchase of one share owned by Enel, which was subsequently cancelled, in accordance with the above mentioned Article 17, paragraph 6, of the Legislative Decree n. 213, dated June 24, 1998. Thus the number of shares constituting the share capital is halved, which means that, as of July 9, 2001, after including the cancellation of the share purchased in order to have an even number of shares, the number went from 12,126,150,379 to 6,063,075,189. The operation only changed the ratio between the shares before and after the reverse stock split, but not the counter value of the shares owned by the investor.
