Ref.: Significant event
Dear Sir,
In accordance with articles 9 and 10, paragraph 2 under Securities Market Law No. 18,045, and as established under General Norm No. 30 of the Financial Market Commission, I, duly authorized, hereby inform you of the following in the attached Significant Event in relation to Enel Américas S.A. (“Enel Américas”):
On August 2, 2019, Enel Américas subscribed and paid a capital increase in its subsidiary Enel Brasil S.A. ("Enel Brasil") for a total amount of BRL 9,475,000,000, equivalent to approximately US$ 2,516,266,100, making possible Enel Brasil’s payment of the short-term loans granted to said company by financiers, in order to pay the debt that Enel Brasil maintained with Enel Finance International N.V. With this operation, one of the funding uses of the capital increase approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 30, 2019, has been met.
With the payment of Enel Brasil's debt, the company’s financial burden is now considerably alleviated, which means lower financial spending and, therefore, greater profit and improvement in cash flows, both in Enel Brasil and at the consolidated level of Enel Américas.
Yours truly,
Aurelio Bustilho de Oliveira
Chief Financial Officer
Enel Américas S.A.
