In connection with to the litigation described above, the Group has set up provisions in the sum of ThUS$1,269 as of December 31, 2025 (see Note 25). There are other litigations that also have associated provisions but are not described in this note as individually they represent immaterial amounts. Management considers that the provisions recorded adequately cover the litigation risks and therefore does not expect that these provisions will result in additional liabilities to those already recorded.

Given the characteristics of the risks covered by these provisions, it is not possible to determine a reasonable schedule of payment dates, if any.

Other litigation of relevance is reported below:

Enel Generación Chile S.A. filed the corresponding procedural appeals before the Court of Appeals of Santiago. On February 4, 2026, The Court of Appeals of Santiago dismissed the claims filed by the plaintiffs. The verdict is yet to be finalized. A very minor risk of adverse judgment is estimated.

(currently Enel Green Power Chile S.A.), the National Geology and Mining Service and the Chilean Treasury, for the alleged liability in the potential economic losses caused by the failure to carry out a mining project of interest to the plaintiffs.

The defendants filed procedural appeals before the Court of Appeals of Santiago, which are pending resolution. A very minor risk of adverse judgment is estimated.

2.Financial covenants

Financial covenants are contractual commitments with respect to minimum or maximum financial ratios that the Company is obliged to meet at certain periods of time (quarterly, annually, etc.) and in some cases only when certain conditions are met. Most of the financial covenants of the Company limit leverage and track the ability to generate cash flow that will service the companies’ indebtedness. Certain companies are also required to periodically certify these covenants. The types of covenants and their respective limits vary according to the type of debt and contract.

Financial Obligations related to the sum between Loans that accrue interest, current, Loans that accrue interest, non-current, Other financial liabilities, current, Other financial liabilities, non-current and Other obligations guaranteed by the Issuer or its subsidiaries, while Total Capitalization is the sum between Financial Obligations and Total Equity.

The Equity corresponds to the Equity attributable to the owners of the parent company, which is contrasted with the level of Minimum Equity that will be readjusted by a percentage, provided it is positive of the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index multiplied by the difference between 1 minus the ratio of Non-Monetary Assets in Chile recorded in pesos and the Equity Attributable to the Parent Company. If the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index is negative or if the ratio between Non-Monetary Assets in Chile recorded in pesos and Equity Attributable to the Parent Company is greater than one, there will be no readjustment in that year.

Financial expense coverage is the quotient between: i) Gross operating profit, plus Financial income and dividends received from associated companies, and ii) Financial expenses; both items refer to the period of four consecutive quarters ending at the end of the quarter being reported.

The Net Active Position with Related Companies is the difference between: i) the sum of Receivables due from Related Parties of Current and Non1Current Assets and ii) the sum of Payables due to Related Parties, Current and Non-Current Liabilities. The amounts corresponding to those that jointly comply with the following must be excluded from the foregoing: i) operations lasting less than 180 days, and ii) operations arising from the ordinary course of business of Enel Generación Chile or its subsidiaries.

Restriction that must be fulfilled (Range, Value and Unit of measure)

A ratio between Financial Obligations and Total Capitalization must be maintained of less than or equal to 0.64.

Finally, in most contracts, the acceleration of the debt due to non-compliance with covenants does not occur automatically. Certain conditions must be met, such as the expiration of remediation periods, among others.

As of December 31, 2025, Enel Chile and its subsidiaries comply with all the financial obligations summarized herein. They also comply with other financial obligations whose non-compliance could result in the acceleration of the maturity of its financial commitments. Additionally, Management is not aware of any facts or circumstances indicating that the Company may have difficulties in meeting these covenants during or after the reporting period.
