(1) Through Law 17,555 of January 20, 2012, the state of Goiás in Brazil created the Contribution Fund for Enel Distribución Goiás (hereinafter Fundo de Aporte à CELG D - FUNAC), regulated by decree No. 7,732, dated September 28, 2012, with the purpose of collecting and allocating financial resources for reimbursement to Enel Distribución Goiás of the payments of contingencies of any nature which had  taken place up  until the transfer of equity control to Eletrobrás, which occurred during January 2015, according to the terms of the agreement between the shareholders and the management, as well as FUNAC’s cooperation terms. The resources of the aforementioned fund depend on the contributions made by the government of the Goiás state and the credits received for lawsuits won by Enel Distribución Goiás, which occurred during January 2015, which are reimbursed to the respective fund.

During 2019, the State of Goiás enacted a law, which limits the period of coverage of Law 17,555, from January 2015 to April 2012. The Group is taking all appropriate measures to maintain the rights acquired at the time of the purchase of Enel Distribuição Goiás, which are guaranteed by the State of Goiás itself, as established in the purchase and sale agreement signed on February 14, 2017. The appeals presented by the Group argue that the right to the guarantee is legal and contractual, given that the actions of the State of Goiás are clearly illegal, and the possibility that the legal actions will not result in a favorable ruling for the Company are considered remote. (see Note 34.3.b.20).

That said, considering that the outcome is uncertain, at the end of the year 2019 a provision of ThUS$110,774 was recognized, which corresponds to the amount of accounts receivable generated between the period April 2012 and January 2015.

(2) Corresponds to assets under construction referring to concessions of the subsidiaries Enel Distribución Río S.A., Enel Distribución Ceará S.A., Enel Distribución Goiás S.A. and Enel Distribución Sao Paulo S.A.

(3) In March 2017, the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil (STF) resolved a matter of general applicability, related to the calculation of PIS and COFINS taxes. The STF confirmed the view that the ICMS tax should not be part of the base for calculation of PIS and COFINS taxes; however, the  Brazilian federal government filed an appeal, in order to determine the temporary effects and make some clarifications.
