REF: SIGNIFICANT EVENT

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

Pursuant to the provisions of articles 9° and 10°, subsection 2 of Law No. 18,045, and the provisions contained under Chilean General Norm 30 of this Superintendence, I hereby report the following significant event.

 

Supplementing the significant event dated February 29, 2012, which reported that the Board of Endesa Chile had agreed to propose, in the corporate bodies of the respective subsidiaries, to initiate an organizational structure simplification involving certain of its Chilean subsidiaries, through a staggered and successive merger process which is expected to end in the current year, Endesa Chile will be the continuing entity for its subsidiaries Ingendesa, Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A., Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A., Central Eléctrica Tarapacá S.A., Inversiones Endesa Norte S.A., Enigesa, and Endesa Eco. Endesa Chile informs the Superintendence that the authentication process of the first two mergers has been completed, corresponding in this first stage to the merger of Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A. into Empresa Electrica San Isidro S.A. and the merger of Ingendesa and Enigesa into the acquiring company Endesa Norte S.A.

 

Both mergers are already completed and have legal effect as of May 1, 2012.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

 

Joaquín Galindo V.

Chief Executive Officer

Endesa Chile
