(“Endesa”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, that are held by holders who are located in the United States and (2) 100% of the American Depositary Shares of Endesa (each, an “Endesa ADS”, with each Endesa ADS representing one Endesa ordinary share), held by holders wherever located. This offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus, dated March 6, 2006 (the “Prospectus”) and the related ADS Letter of Transmittal and U.S. Form of Acceptance (collectively, the “U.S. Offer”). Concurrently with the U.S. Offer, Gas Natural is also making, on substantially similar terms and subject to the same conditions, a Spanish offer (the “Spanish Offer”) open to all holders of Endesa ordinary shares, if, pursuant to local laws and regulations applicable to such holders, they are permitted to participate in the Spanish Offer. Together, the U.S. Offer and the Spanish Offer (collectively, the “Offer”) are being made for 100% of the outstanding Endesa ordinary shares, including Endesa ordinary shares represented by Endesa ADSs.
Item 11. Additional Information
Item 11 is amended and supplemented to include the following information:
On March 6, 2006, Endesa filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) alleging that the Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed by Gas Natural with the SEC on February 28, 2006 is in violation of Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78n(d) and (e), respectively, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In its complaint, Endesa sought: (A) a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining Gas Natural from soliciting tenders of Endesa ordinary shares from U.S. residents pursuant to the U.S. Offer until such time as Gas Natural corrects certain allegedly improper disclosures contained in the Prospectus; (B) a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining Gas Natural from disseminating the Prospectus until such time as Gas Natural corrects such disclosures contained in the Prospectus; (C) a declaration that the U.S. Offer shall not be deemed to have commenced until such time as Gas Natural corrects such disclosures contained in the Prospectus; (D) an order temporarily restraining Gas Natural from soliciting or accepting tenders of Endesa ordinary shares from U.S. residents pursuant to the U.S. Offer or the Spanish Offer and from disseminating the Prospectus, and declaring that the U.S. Offer shall not be deemed to have commenced, until such time as Endesa can be heard on its application for a preliminary injunction; and (E) any other relief that the Court may deem just and proper. A copy of Endesa’s complaint is filed as exhibit (a)(5)(lx) to this TO Amendment No. 1.
In addition to its request for a temporary restraining order, Endesa also filed with the Court on March 6, 2006 a motion for an order granting Endesa leave to conduct certain expedited discovery in preparation for the Court’s hearing on the preliminary injunction motion.
Endesa’s motion for a temporary restraining order was denied in a hearing held by the Court on March 6, 2006, a hearing on the preliminary injunction motion has been set for March 27, 2006. The Court did not order expedited discovery.
