ENEL AND ACCIONA APPEAL SOME OF THE CONDITIONS THE CNE IMPOSED ON ENDESA’S ACQUISITION
The appeal will not affect the development of the Tender Offer for Endesa because Enel and Acciona shall comply with the conditions even if they are not modified, repealed or made ineffective.
Rome and Madrid, 3 August 2007 – Enel, through its subsidiary Enel Energy Europe S.r.l., and Acciona S.A. today filed an administrative appeal against certain conditions imposed by the Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Spanish National Energy Commission (CNE) dated 4 July, 2007 by means of which Acciona S.A. and Enel, through its subsidiary Enel Energy Europe S.r.l., were authorized to acquire Endesa S.A.’s shares through the settlement of the Tender Offer. The two companies consider that certain of the imposed conditions are not adequate.
