Ref.: Significant Event
Dear Sir,
In accordance with articles 9 and 10, paragraph 2, under Securities Market Law N°18,045 and established under General Norm N° 30 of the Superintendence, and duly authorized, I hereby inform you of the following significant event:
Today, after extensive negotiations, Endesa Costanera S.A. and Mitsubishi Corporation agreed to refinance the debt held by Mitsubishi Corporation, with beneficial conditions for Endesa Costanera S.A., an Argentinean corporation and subsidiary of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (“Endesa Chile”), which holds an 75.67% economic interest. This agreement has financial effects on both companies.
Among the main conditions of the restructuring are :
· the pardoning of accrued interest, which amounted to US$ 66,061,897.09 as of September 30, 2014;
· the rescheduling of US$ 120,605,058.33 capital maturities for a period of 18 years, with a grace period of 12 months; and stating that the debt must be completely paid before December 15, 2032,
· the minimum annual capital payment must be at least of US$ 3,000,000, in quarterly installments;
· a 0.25% annual interest rate,
· maintaining the pledge on the assets and noting restrictions to dividend payments.
As a condition precedent, Endesa Costanera S.A. should make a payment of US$ 5,000,000 of overdue debt within the next 15 working days.
The above corresponds to the restructuring of Endesa Costanera S.A.’s major liability and also affects its financial situation, which will be reflected in its annual financial statements.
Santa Rosa 76 – Teléfono (56) 22630 9000 – Casilla 1557 - Correo Central – Santiago de Chile
The estimated effects for Endesa Chile, as the parent company, will be additional earnings of approximately US$ 104 million (Ch$ 61,000 million) and a reduction of financial debt of approximately US$ 138 million (Ch$ 80,000 million), which will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Sincerely,
Joaquín Galindo V.
Chief Executive Officer
