ENDESA, S.A. (“Endesa”), in compliance with article 82 of the Security Markets Act (Ley del Mercado de Valores), hereby submits the following
SIGNIFICANT EVENT
Yesterday at 12:48 pm, the Madrid Court of First Instance No. 52 notified Endesa that an Order had been handed down upholding the secondary petition filed by the Association of Users of Banking Services and Consumers of Madrid (AUSBANC MADRID) and ordered Endesa to amend the notice of the Public Offering of shares such that it provides a series of warnings and risk factors that are included in the Prospectus available on the CNMV website.
At the request of AUSBANC MADRID, this Order was handed down “ex-parte”, in other words, Endesa had no knowledge of the petition filed or the opportunity to submit arguments. However, Endesa reserves the right to take any actions admissible by law against this Order.
In view of the significant technical barriers to modify the already approved advertising material, Endesa has immediately complied with the court order by suspending the advertising campaign related to the Public Offering, which was expected to be completed today, 19 November at 2:00 pm.
The aforementioned suspension of the advertising campaign does not in any way affect the Public Offering, which will continue in accordance with the original timetable as initially planned.
