Notes to the consolidated financial statements - other informations

Starting in 2019, the Shareholders’ Meeting of Enel SpA (“Enel” or the “Company”) has each year approved the adoption of long-term share-based incentive plans for the management of Enel and/or its subsidiaries pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code. Each of the incentive plans approved (the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan; referred to hereinafter, respectively, the “2019 LTI Plan”, “2020 LTI Plan”, the 2021 LTI Plan”, the “2022 LTI Plan” and, jointly, the “Plans”) provides for the grant of ordinary Company shares (“Shares”) to the respective beneficiaries subject to the achievement of specific performance targets. 
Plan beneficiaries are the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Enel and Enel Group managers in the positions most directly responsible for company performance or considered to be of strategic interest. The Plans provide for the award to the beneficiaries of an incentive consisting of a monetary component and an equity component. This incentive – determined, at the time of the award, as a base value calculated in relation to the fixed remuneration of the individual beneficiary – may vary depending on the degree of achievement of each of the three-year performance targets by the Plans, ranging from zero up to a maximum of 280% or 180% of the base value in the case, respectively, of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager or the other beneficiaries.
The Plans establish that, of the total incentive effectively vested, the bonus will be fully paid in Shares in the amount of (i) up to 100% of the base value for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager (up to 130% for the 2022 LTI Plan), and (ii) up to 50% of the base value for the other beneficiaries (up to 65% for the 2022 LTI Plan).
The actual award of the bonus under the Plans is subject to the achievement of specific performance targets during the three year performance period. If these targets are achieved, 30% of both the stock and cash components of the incentive will be paid in the first year following the end of the performance period and the remaining 70% will be paid in the second year following the end of the performance period. The payment of a substantial portion of long-term variable remuneration (70% of the total) is therefore deferred to the second year following the end of the performance period of the individual Plans. 
The following table provides information on the 2019 LTI Plan, the 2020 LTI Plan, the 2021 LTI Plan, and the 2022 LTI Plan.
For more information on the characteristics of the Plans, please see the information documents prepared pursuant to Article 84-bis of the CONSOB Regulation issued with Resolution no. 11971 of May 14, 1999 (the Issuers Regulation), which are available to the public in the section of Enel’s website (www.enel.com) dedicated to the Shareholders’ Meetings held respectively on May 16, 2019, May 14, 2020, May 20, 2021 and May 19, 2022.

Finally, Enel also maintains relationships with the pension funds FOPEN and FONDENEL, as well as Fondazione Enel and Enel Cuore, an Enel non-profit company devoted to providing social and healthcare assistance.
All transactions with related parties were carried out on normal market terms and conditions, which in some cases are determined by the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment.

Credit facility guaranteed by SACE - Disclosure obligations established by Article 13, paragraph 3, letter c) (ii), of CONSOB Regulation on transactions with related parties

In compliance with the disclosure obligations established under Article 13, paragraph 3, letter c) (ii), of CONSOB Regulation no. 17221 of March 12, 2010, as amended (the “CONSOB Regulation”), and Article 13.4, letter c) (ii), of the Enel Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties (the “Enel Procedure”), we hereby disclose that a transaction with related parties was carried out in 2022 which qualifies as a transaction of “greater importance” having an ordinary nature and completed at market-equivalent or standard terms. More specifically, on December 23, 2022, Enel SpA signed with a pool of financial institutions – composed of Banco BPM SpA, BPER Banca SpA, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA, Intesa Sanpaolo SpA and UniCredit SpA – a loan agreement in the form of a revolving credit facility in the amount of €12 billion, of which up to 70% of the nominal amount is guaranteed by SACE SpA.
This credit facility, and the related guarantee, is aimed at funding the collateral requirements of the Enel Group companies operating in Italy (specifically Enel Global Trading SpA) for trading on energy markets and is part of the temporary measures to support the liquidity of companies, provided in the form of a guarantee, envisaged by Article 15 of Decree Law 50 of May 17, 2022, ratified with Law 91 of July 15, 2022 (the so-called “Aid Decree Law”), as amended.
The overall transaction qualifies as a transaction with related parties due to the fact that Enel SpA, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA and SACE SpA are companies under the common control of Italy’s Ministry for the Economy and Finance. Taking into account the amounts indicated above (and, in particular, in consideration of the value of the guarantee), it qualifies as a related-party transaction of “greater importance”. The transaction in question was completed applying the exemption pursuant to Article 13, paragraph 3, letter c), of the CONSOB Regulation and Article 13.4, letter c), of the Enel Procedure, as an ordinary transaction completed at market-equivalent or standard terms.
In particular, the transaction is connected with the ordinary exercise of “finance activity connected to the operations” of the Group headed by Enel SpA, taking into account, inter alia, the object, recurrence and size of the same, as well as the nature of the counterparties. Furthermore, the main terms and conditions applicable to it are governed by Article 15 of the Aid Decree Law. For the portion of the loan for which it is responsible, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA applied to Enel SpA the same terms and conditions that are applied by the other banks.

The following tables summarize transactions with related parties, associated companies and joint ventures outstanding at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and carried out during the period.
