Ref:Reply to Official Memorandum Nº 00923 dated January 23, 2006
Dear Sir,With regard to your Official Communiqué at reference, on information published in the press last January 20, 2006, I am pleased to inform you of the following:
1. In our Notice of an Essential Fact dated May 24, 2005 ENERSIS S.A. informed the Superintendency under your administration and the Stock Exchanges of the creation of a holding company domiciled in Brazil, with the name of Endesa Brasil S.A., through which a reorganization was carried out of the generating, transmission and distribution assets that the Enersis Group and Endesa Internacional (subsidiary of Endesa Spain) held in Brazil. The purpose of this reorganization was to simplify the ownership structure of the assets of the Group in Brazil, create a greater stability for the local cash flows, improve the access to third party financing, improve the Group’s positioning in order to attain new business opportunities and obtain operating synergies.
2. With the purpose of taking advantage of new business opportunities , our subsidiary Endesa Brasil S.A. has evaluated, and continues to evaluate on a permanent basis, different investment alternatives, both in the area of generation and distribution of electricity.
3. Electricité de France has publicly announced its intention to sell its shares in the distribution company, Light, whose concession includes part of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
4. As a result of the above, Endesa Brasil S.A. is evaluating Light, together with other possible investment opportunities in Brazil. However, ENERSIS S.A. or its subsidiary, Endesa Brasil S.A. have held any conversations or negotiations with the object of acquiring all or part of the shares held by Electricité de France in Light.
Yours sincerely,Mario Valcarce D.
