REF: SIGNIFICANT EVENT

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

In accordance with articles 9 and 10.2 of Law 18,045 and General Norm 30 of the Superintendence, and under the powers conferred upon me, I hereby inform you as significant event that on the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Endesa Chile held on April 26, 2012, was agreed to distribute a minimum mandatory dividend (partially integrated by the Provisional Dividend No. 51 of Ch$ 5.08439 per share) and an additional dividend, for a total of Ch$ 27.24259 per share attributable to the fiscal period ended on December 31, 2011.  Since the above mentioned Provisional Dividend No. 51 was already paid, the remaining amount of the Final Dividend No.52 of Ch$ 22.15820 per share will be paid.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Joaquín Galindo V.
