ENERSISSIGNEDACOMMITTEDLINEOFCREDITFORUS$200MILLION
(Santiago, Chile, December 11, 2006) – ENERSIS (NYSE: ENI) announce the following material information.
• With this transaction, the company achieved better financial flexibility and liquidity, so as to be better prepared for new challenges and projects.
ENERSIS S.A. (the “Company”) signed a committed line of credit for US$ 200 million, with favorable conditions that give the Company better financial flexibility and liquidity so as to be better prepared for future challenges and projects. It does not need to satisfy a “no Material Adverse Effect conditions precedent clause” that otherwise might prevent disbursements under those materially adverse circumstances.
The committed line of credit was issued with a 3-year term at a rate of Libor plus 25 basis points and a commitment fee of 12.5 basis points.
These positive conditions, in terms of structure, maturity and economics, reflect the excellent perception of the Company by the financial market.
The transaction was led by four banks –ABN AMRO, Banco Santander, BNP Paribas and Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO).
During January, international banks will syndicate the transaction; meetings will be scheduled in Santiago, New York and Madrid.
