The main claim by Inversiones Tricahue is for the amount of ThCh$72,558,025, and the claim by its subsidiary is for the amount of ThCh$12,431,395. The case is pending judgment. On July 20, 2024, a judgment was handed down dismissing the lawsuit in its entirety, whereupon Inversiones Tricahue filed the respective appeals, which are pending.
2.Enel Generación Chile S.A.

On July 18, 2024, a judgment was handed down dismissing the lawsuit. Inversiones Tricahue filed the corresponding appeals, which are pending.
2.2.On August 20, 2019, a lawsuit was filed against Enel Generación for alleged liability for damages suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of the operations of the Bocamina I and II power plants. The amount claimed is ThCh$38,160,000. The case is in the evidentiary stage.
3.Enel Distribución Chile S.A.
3.1.On February 27, 2021, the National Consumer and User Protection Agency, CONADECUS, filed a class action lawsuit against Enel Distribución for violation of the collective and diffuse interest of consumers due to non-compliance with Law No. 19,496, the amount of which is undetermined. The case is in the evidentiary stage.

4.Enel Green Power Chile S.A.

4.1.On October 19, 2023, Global Energy Services Siemsa S.A. Chile Limitada, filed a counterclaim against Enel Green Power Chile S.A. alleging that it had breached the contract for the construction of the photovoltaic plant project called “Finis Terrae Extension”. The plaintiff requests that the contract be terminated with compensation for damages in its favor, the amount of the counterclaim is ThCh$14,884,256. In turn, Enel Green Power S.A. filed a counterclaim for breach of contract and compensation for damages. The case is in the final evidentiary stage, with closing procedures pending.

4.2.On December 15, 2022, Enel Green Power Chile S.A. filed a lawsuit against Aldesa Chile SpA. for breach of contract and compensation for damages in the construction of the photovoltaic plant project called “Sierra Gorda Solar”. At the same time, Aldesa Chile SpA. also filed a lawsuit against Enel Green Power S.A. for breach of the same contract, seeking damages in its favor for ThCh$19,448,233. The case is pending evidentiary proceedings, awaiting a summons for judgment.

In relation to the litigation matters described above, the Group has set up provisions in the sum of ThCh$932,432 as of December 31, 2024 (see Note 25). There are other litigation matters that have associated provisions but are not described in this note since they individually represent immaterial amounts. Management believes that the provisions recorded for such cases adequately cover the litigation risks, and therefore does not expect additional liabilities other than 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:

In 2017, legal proceedings were commenced by certain operators of the Northern Chile Grid (SING), including AES Gener SA, Eléctrica Angamos SA and Engie Energía Chile SA, against Gas Atacama Chile (currently Enel Generación Chile). On October 17, 2023, a first instance judgment was issued in which the plaintiffs' claims were partially upheld. Enel Generación Chile filed the corresponding procedural appeals before the Court of Appeals of Santiago, which are pending resolution. A very minor risk of adverse judgment is estimated.

In December 2016, a tort action was brought by Compañía Minera Arbiodo Limitada and Ingenieros y Asesores Limitada against Parque Eólico Taltal S.A. (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. In December 2023, the claim was accepted, and the National Geology and Mining Service and Enel Green Power Chile were ordered to pay to the plaintiffs, jointly and severally, the amount of ThCh$346,067,011 as consequential damages. This matter is currently being considered before the Court of Appeals of Santiago, regarding the procedural appeals filed by the defendants. A very minor risk of adverse judgment is estimated.

36.4. Financial restrictions

Several debt contracts of the Company, and of some of its subsidiaries include the obligation to comply with certain financial ratios, which is common in contracts of this nature. There are also affirmative and negative covenants that require monitoring of these commitments. In addition, there are restrictions in the sections of events of default that must be fulfilled to avoid acceleration of the debt.

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 corresponding 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 Non-Current 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, 2024, both Enel Chile and its subsidiaries were in compliance with their 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.
