Public Proxy Solicitation
In accordance with Article 3, section 1.a) of Royal Decree-Law 34/2020, of 17

sector, and as relates to tax matters, shareholders whose shares are
registered in the appropriate book-entry ledger five days before the meeting

the Chairman of the Meeting, in accordance with the provisions in this regard
set forth in Articles 186 and 526 of the Capital Corporations Law, the
Corporate Bylaws and the General Meeting Regulations. The following rules
shall apply unless otherwise directed by the appointing shareholder:
1. Unless otherwise indicated by the shareholder appointing a proxy, the
proxyholder shall be deemed to have specific instructions to vote in favor of
all proposals made by the Board of Directors on the Agenda items for the
meeting. In the event the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting votes on
proposals not included on the agenda, the proxyholder shall exercise the vote
in the sense he/she deems most convenient to the interests of the appointing
shareholder.
If shareholders representing at least three percent of the share capital have
exercised their right to add agenda items or submit proposed resolutions, the
Company shall immediately publish said supplemental agenda items and new
proposed resolutions, issuing a new form of attendance, proxy and distance
voting card incorporating all required amendments to ensure that said new
agenda items and alternative proposed resolutions may be voted on under the
same terms as proposals made by the Board of Directors.
2. In the event that the person to whom the proxy is delegated is not named, said
proxy shall be deemed to be granted to the Chairman of the Meeting.
3. If the Chairman of the Meeting is legally subject to a conflict of interest in
voting on any of the proposals submitted to the General Shareholders’
Meeting, whether included on the Agenda or not, and provided no specific
voting instructions were issued or, if despite having such instructions, the
Chairman of the Meeting wishes not to represent the shareholder with regard to
the items with which there is a conflict of interest, the proxy shall be
deemed to be delegated to, unless otherwise specified by the appointing
shareholder, the Secretary of the General Meeting and, if the Secretary has a
conflict of interest, to the person appointed by the Board of Directors.
4. Likewise, the delegation of powers extends to topics that may be submitted to
a vote of the General Shareholders' Meeting even though they are not included
on the Agenda for the meeting. In this case, and except as indicated otherwise
by the appointing shareholder, the proxyholder shall exercise the vote in the
sense he/she deems most convenient to the interests of the appointing
shareholder.
The following is reported as regards potential conflicts of interest of the
directors: the Chairman of the Meeting has a conflict of interest as relates
to agenda items 9 and 10 (Binding vote on the Annual Report on Directors
Compensation, for binding vote and approval of the Directors Compensation
Policy for 2021-2023).
In this same regard, the Chairman of the Meeting may have a conflict of
interest if any liability actions or proposals for removal are brought against
him.
In accordance with Article 11 of the General Meeting Regulations, financial
intermediaries who have standing as shareholders but who also act on behalf of
various clients may divide their vote in such a manner that allows them to
abide by the instructions received from such clients.

Meeting is held
In order to be valid and in accordance with the provisions of the General
Meeting Regulations, both long-distance proxies and votes (whether submitted
electronically or by post) shall be received by the Company before 12:30 p.m.
on 29 April 2021. Otherwise the proxy shall be deemed not to have been granted
and the vote not cast, excluding as received following said deadline, in all
cases prior to the holding of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, such
that the proper verification and computation may be completed with a view
towards preparing and holding said Meeting.
2 Priority rules between proxy, distance vote and remote attendance at the
Meeting
2.1 Priorities between proxy, distance vote and remote attendance
(i) Remote attendance at the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting for which
the shareholder previously granted a proxy or cast a long-distance vote,
regardless of the means used for such purpose, shall render such proxy or vote
null and void.
(ii) Likewise, a vote, regardless of the manner in which it was cast, will
render any proxy granted ineffective, whether granted electronically or by
means of a printed card. If the proxy was granted before the vote was cast,
the proxy will be considered revoked, and if granted subsequently, it shall be
considered void.
2.3 Priorities between proxies
In the event that a shareholder validly appoints several proxies, the last
proxy received by the Company shall prevail.
2.3 Priorities between distance votes prior to the Meeting
In the event that a shareholder validly casts more than one distance vote, the
last vote received by the Company shall prevail.
2.4 Direction of the remote vote during or prior to the Meeting
A shareholder who wishes to cast a long-distance vote (through electronic
means or by post) must indicate the specific direction of his/her vote for
each Agenda item. If no specific direction is indicated for any of the Agenda
items, the vote shall be deemed to be made in favor of the proposals submitted
by the Board of Directors on such Agenda items, as drafted thereby.
If shareholders representing at least three percent of the share capital have
exercised their right to add agenda items or submit proposed resolutions, the
Company shall immediately publish said supplemental agenda items and new
proposed resolutions, issuing a new form of attendance, proxy and distance
voting card incorporating all required amendments to ensure that said new
agenda items and alternative proposed resolutions may be voted on under the
same terms as proposals made by the Board of Directors.
2.5 Other provisions
In the event that electronic means are employed, prior to the holding of the
General Meeting, only one electronic action per type of operation (one vote
and one proxy) is allowed.
Disposal of the shares conferring the attendance right acknowledged by the
Company before the Meeting will result in both distance proxies and votes
being considered null and void.
The shareholder is exclusively responsible for the custody of his/her
electronic signature for the purposes of voting or granting a proxy
electronically.
3 Special rules
All shareholders who are legal persons as well as shareholders not resident in
Spain should contact the Shareholder Relations Line (900 666 900) to discuss
the possibility of, as the case may be, adapting the long-distance voting and
proxy mechanisms to their needs while still providing adequate guarantees.
Any of the joint holders of a share pool may vote, grant a proxy to the
Chairman of the Meeting or remotely attend the Meeting, and the rules on
priority established in section C.2 herein shall apply as among them. For the
purposes of Article 126 of the Capital Corporations Law, it shall be construed
that the joint holder who, from time to time, performs an action (voting
directly or by proxy, or physical or remote attendance), has been appointed by
the rest of the joint owners to exercise their shareholder rights. In these
cases, the first of the holders remotely registered at the meeting shall be
considered the attendee. In relation thereto and for the purposes of Article
126 of the Capital Corporations Law, it shall be construed that the joint
holder first remotely registered at the meeting shall be the one appointed by
the remainder of the joint owners to exercise their shareholder rights.
4. TECHNICAL INCIDENTS
Endesa reserves the right to modify, suspend, cancel or restrict the remote
attendance or electronic voting and proxy mechanisms when so required for
technical or security reasons, notwithstanding the implementation of such
measures as required in each situation, including but not limited to the
possible temporary suspension or extension of the Meeting if necessary to
ensure the full exercise of the rights of the shareholders or their
proxyholders.
Endesa shall not be liable for any damages which may be caused to a
shareholder arising out of breakdowns, overloads, dropped lines, failed
connections, malfunctioning of postal service or any other circumstances of a
like or similar nature which are beyond Endesa's control and which prevent the
use of the long-distance voting and proxy mechanisms.
Electronic Shareholder Forum
The Board of Directors has decided, in accordance with the provisions of
Article 539 of the Capital Corporations Law, that at the Annual General
Shareholders’ Meeting, the rules of operation of the Electronic Shareholder
Forum published on the Company’s website and available to the shareholders
at the registered offices shall apply, as from the date of publication of the
pertinent official meeting notice.
Processing of Personal Data
The personal data submitted by the shareholders to exercise or grant proxy
over their rights of attendance and voting at the General Meeting or which are
furnished by banking institutions and stock brokers and dealers with whom said
shareholders have their shares deposited, through the entity legally qualified
to carry out the book-entry records (IBERCLEAR), shall be processed by the
Company, as Data Controller, for the purposes of managing the Meeting notice
and holding of the Meeting. The foregoing shall be carried out in accordance
with legal obligations.
All or part of the General Meeting may be recorded and made available to the
public on the Company's website and/or through accredited media. As such,
during the course of the General Meeting, it is expected that the full name
and number of shares of the shareholders who intervene in the meeting may be
publicly disclosed. The legal basis for both the recording and disclosure of
the image and/or voice of the individuals participating in the General
Meeting, as well as for the public disclosure of certain personal data on
shareholders who pose questions at the meeting, is the legitimate interest of
the Company, as well as compliance with the rules and general principles of
transparency and best corporate governance.
In the event the shareholder includes personal data regarding other natural
persons in the proxy or remote voting card, the shareholder must notify such
persons of the provisions of this legal data protection notice and shall
comply with any other requirements as applicable for the proper disclosure of
personal data to the Company, without the latter being required to take any
additional action in terms of information or consent. The shareholders are
responsible for the accuracy of the data provided, as well as for informing
the Company of any changes to such data.
The shareholders' personal data will be held for the duration of their
condition as such and provided removal or deletion thereof has not been
requested, provided however that such conservation is appropriate, relevant
and restricted to the extent necessary for the purposes for which said data is
being processed. As soon as such data is no longer required for such purpose,
the data shall be stored and blocked during the period in which they may be
required for the exercise or defense of administrative or legal claims and may
only be unblocked and reprocessed for such purpose. After this period the data
will be permanently deleted.
The data will be provided to the Notary Public attending the General Meeting
in accordance with the legal provisions. Likewise, such data may be
transferred to third parties in exercise of the right to information
established by law.
You can exercise your rights of access, correction, removal, limitation of
processing and transferability of data in those cases and to the extent
provided by applicable regulations from time to time. You can exercise these
rights by sending written notice to the Company's Board Secretariat, located
in Madrid, C/ Ribera del Loira, no. 60, 28042.
You are also hereby informed of your right to file a claim before the Spanish
Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos).
Endesa, S.A. has appointed a Data Protection Officer who can be contacted by
email at dpo@endesa.es (mailto:dpo@endesa.es) . Please contact the Data
Protection Officer if you have any questions or concerns regarding the
legitimacy or purposes for which your personal data is being processed.

of the meeting a shareholder or proxyholder wishing to attend such meeting
should connect or register in order to be considered present at the meeting
and to be included in the list of attendees. Any shareholder or proxyholder

shall pre-register using the software application made available on the

In any case, both for voluntary as well as legal proxies, no more than one
proxyholder may be in attendance at the General Meeting, except as otherwise
provided by law.

cast their votes on proposals concerning the agenda items by post or through
electronic communications, in accordance with the provisions of the General
Shareholders’ Meeting Regulations and with any other rules supplementing or
implementing the Regulations, as established by the Board of Directors.
Using the technical and legal means that make it possible and duly guarantee
the identity of the party exercising his right to vote, the Board of Directors
is authorized to implement and supplement the rules provided by the General
Shareholders’ Meeting Regulations. The Board shall determine the time from
which the shareholders may cast their vote through remote means of
communication, depending on the stage of development and security provided by
the technical means available.
The regulations, including any amendments thereto, adopted by the Board of
Directors to implement and supplement the General Shareholders’ Meeting
Regulations in accordance with this bylaw provision, as well as the time
determined by the Board of Directors from which the shareholders may cast
their vote at the General Meeting by long-distance communication, shall be

Those shareholders that cast a distance vote pursuant to the provisions of
this section shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of the assembly of
the General Meeting in question.

granting a proxy for the General Shareholders’ Meeting by means of
electronic communication or any other means of long-distance communication.
3. Personal or remote attendance by the shareholder at the General Meeting shall
have the effect of revoking a vote cast by postal or electronic
correspondence. Furthermore, personal or remote attendance by a shareholder
otherwise represented by proxy at the General Meeting shall have the effect of
revoking the proxy granted by electronic correspondence or any other means of
long-distance communication contemplated in the General Meeting
Regulations.”
IV. Amend current Article 33 the Corporate Bylaws, which shall hereafter read

Company to the Spanish Securities Market Commission since the last General
Meeting was held or as relates to the auditors' report.
During the General Shareholders’ Meeting, shareholders may make requests for
information or clarifications, whether verbal in the case of in-person
attendance or using means of long-distance communication in the case of remote
attendance, regarding the items listed in the previous section, as deemed
appropriate. If the shareholder's right could not be fulfilled at the time of
the request, the directors shall be required to provide the requested
information in writing within seven days following the day on which the
General Meeting concluded.
The directors shall be required to provide the information requested in
accordance with the two preceding paragraphs in the manner and periods
provided by law, unless such information is not necessary for the proper
exercise of the shareholder's rights, or unless there are objective reasons to
believe that such information may be used for purposes outside the company or
if the publication of such information could negatively affect the company or
any of its affiliated companies.
An information request may not be denied if such request is supported by at
least one fourth of total capital.”

company and its committees.
Maximum global and annual compensation, for the Board as a whole and including

Meeting and shall remain in effect until it resolves upon an amendment
thereof.
The Board itself shall be in charge of determining the exact amount to be paid
in each fiscal year, subject to the limits set forth by the General
Shareholders' Meeting, as well as distributing such amount between the
aforementioned items and between the directors in the manner, time and
proportion as freely determined, taking into account the functions and
responsibilities entrusted to each Director, whether they belong to any of the
Board's Committees and all other relevant objective circumstances.
Furthermore, the amount of the allowances shall not exceed monthly fixed
salary as determined in accordance with the above paragraphs. The Board of
Directors may, within such limit, determine the amount of the allowances.
2. The compensation set forth in the preceding section, applicable to members
of the Board of Directors, will be compatible with all other compensation,
indemnities, social security contributions or any other professional or labor
compensation items to which the Directors may be entitled by way of any other
executive, advisory or representation functions they may perform for the
Company which are separate from the supervisory and collective decision-making
functions inherent in their position as Directors, which shall be subject to
all legally applicable requirements.
3. Notwithstanding the aforementioned compensation, Executive Directors'
compensation may also include the delivery of shares or share option rights or
compensation linked to share value. Application of this type of compensation
shall require a resolution of the General Shareholders' Meeting stating, as
the case may be, the maximum number of shares that may be allocated to this
compensation scheme in each fiscal year, the exercise price or the method for
calculating the exercise price of the stock options, the share value that, as
the case may be, is used as a benchmark, the term of the plan and any other
conditions deemed appropriate.
AGENDA ITEM 6.4
Amendment of Article 43 of the Corporate Bylaws to update the provisions
governing remote Board meetings.

meeting, either at his discretion or when at least two Board Members or, if
any, the Coordinating Director so request. The official meeting notice shall
include the agenda, set by the Chairman, which in any case shall include those
items as requested by the Coordinating Director.
Meetings will generally take place at the registered offices; however, they
may also be held elsewhere as the Chairman determines. The Board may meet
remotely with all or some of its members and the Secretary using
videoconferencing, conference calls, or any other means of distance
communication, provided there is interactivity and intercommunication in real
time, thereby guaranteeing simultaneity of developments. In such case, the
meeting notice and minutes shall indicate, as the case may be, the connection
system. The resolutions shall be considered passed at the registered offices.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, and unless precluded by Law, resolutions
may be adopted in writing in lieu of a meeting, subject to the requisites and

the shareholders may inspect at the registered offices and on the Company’s

request that the full wording of the documents made available to them be
delivered or sent to them at no charge.
In any case, from the time the official meeting notice is published up until
the General Meeting is held, the Company must continue to publish on its
website, at a minimum, all information as legally required.
3. Immediately following publication of the General Meeting notice and up
until the fifth day preceding, inclusive, the date set for such meeting in
first call, the shareholders may, in writing, request any information or
clarification or pose questions as they deem relevant, including as related to
the agenda for the meeting, publicly available information provided by the
Company to the Spanish Securities Market Commission since the last General
Meeting was held or to the auditors' report.
These requests for information may be made by delivering said request to the
registered offices or by sending it to the Company by post or other means of
electronic or automated long-distance communications sent to the address
specified in the relevant meeting notice. Requests shall be admitted as such
when the electronic document by virtue of which the information is requested
includes a qualified electronic signature employed by the petitioner, or other
type of electronic signature which, by resolution previously adopted to such
effect, the Board of Directors considers satisfies adequate guarantees of
authenticity and identification of the shareholder exercising his/her right to
information. The shareholder shall be responsible for proving that the request
was sent to the Company in due time and form.
The directors shall be required to provide the information requested in
accordance with the preceding paragraph in the manner and periods provided by
law, unless such information is not necessary as regards the protection of the
shareholder's rights, or unless there are objective reasons to believe that
such information may be used for purposes outside the company or if the
release of such information could negatively affect the Company or any of its
affiliates. An information request may not be denied if such request is
supported by at least one fourth of total capital.
Replies to the shareholders will be issued by the Board of Directors in a
resolution or, as the case may be, by any of the Directors, by the Board
Secretary, or by any person expressly authorized for such purpose.
All valid requests for information or clarification as well as all questions
validly raised in writing together with the answers provided by the directors,
in writing, shall be posted on the Company's website.
If requested information is already clearly, explicitly and directly available
to all shareholders on the Company's website in a Q&A format before the
relevant question was posed, the directors response may be limited to
referring the requesting party to the information which has already been
provided in said format.
4. Without prejudice to the right of shareholders to information concerning
General Shareholders’ Meetings as referred to in Sub-article 3, supra, once
the General Shareholders’ Meeting has been called, shareholders may, after
providing evidence of their identity as such, make comments or suggestions in
writing on the items on the agenda through the Shareholder’s Office or the
Company’s website. The General Shareholders’ Meeting will not be informed
of these comments or suggestions, without prejudice to the Board of Directors
being able to take them into account and to the right of shareholders to
participate in the debates of the General Shareholders’ Meeting pursuant to
the provisions of law.
5. In accordance with the legislation in force, when the General Shareholders'
Meeting is convened, an Electronic Shareholder Forum will be set up on the
Company’s website. It may be accessed with due guarantees by both individual
shareholders as well as the voluntary associations they may establish, which
shall be duly authenticated, in order to facilitate communications prior to
holding the General Meetings. Proposals intended to be presented as a
supplement to the agenda announced in the meeting notice, requests for
adherence to said proposals, initiatives to achieve a sufficient percentage to
exercise a minority right provided by law, as well as offers or requests for
voluntary representation, may be published in the Forum. In any event, the
Electronic Shareholder Forum shall be used in accordance with both its legal
purpose as well as any safeguards and operating rules as set forth by the
Company.”
II. Amend current Article 10 of the General Shareholders' Meeting Regulations,
which shall hereafter read as follows:
“ARTICLE 10. ATTENDANCE RIGHT
1. Shareholders who own at least 100 shares may attend the General Meeting in
person, provided that these shares are registered under their name in the
pertinent book-entry ledger five days before the date set for the relevant
General Meeting and they have obtained the relevant attendance card.
Attendance cards shall be issued through the institutions that carry the
accounting records and shall be used by shareholders as the document for
granting their proxy for the General Meeting in question. The foregoing shall
be construed notwithstanding the certificates of standing issued in accordance
with the entries of the accounting record by the relevant responsible or
member entity.
Shareholders who own fewer shares may vote remotely or may delegate their
proxy to any shareholder with the right to attend, as well as form groups with
other shareholders in identical circumstances to obtain the required number of
shares, with the grouped shareholders conferring their representation to one
shareholder within the group. Such group shall be formed specifically for each
General Shareholders’ Meeting and shall be evidenced in writing.
2. Prior to commencing the session, a copy of the proposed resolutions which
will be submitted to decision of the General Meeting shall be made available
to each attendee, not including any attachments to such proposals.
3. The members of the Board of Directors must attend the General Meetings.
4. The Chairman may authorize the attendance of any person he or she deems
appropriate, although the General Meeting may revoke said authorization.”
III. Amend current Article 10 BIS of the General Shareholders' Meeting
Regulations, which shall hereafter read as follows:
“ARTICLE 10.BIS REMOTE ATTENDANCE
1. Shareholders whose shares are registered in the appropriate book-entry
ledger five days before the Meeting may attend remotely using a method that
allows their connection in real time with the venue or venues where the
Meeting is held, provided the Board of Directors so authorizes for each
Meeting.
For all purposes, the shareholder’s or proxyholder’s remote attendance
shall be equivalent to attending the General Shareholders’ Meeting in
person. Attendance in person shall have the effect of revoking remote
attendance.
2. The meeting notice for each Meeting shall specify how soon before the start
of the meeting a shareholder or proxyholder wishing to attend such meeting
should connect or register in order to be considered present at the meeting
and to be included in the list of attendees. Any shareholder or proxyholder
that connects after the deadline indicated in the meeting notice will not be
considered present.
3. Before connecting on the day of the Meeting, the shareholder or proxyholder
shall pre-register using the software application made available on the
company's website before the date and time specified in the meeting notice
and, as the case may be, shall within said period provide the documentation
requested in the Meeting notice for reliable verification of the proxy and
identity of the proxyholder.
4. The directors may specify in the meeting notice that any interventions or
proposed resolutions that are intended to be delivered by those who will be
attending remotely shall be sent to the company prior to the time of assembly
of the Meeting.
5. The meeting notice for each Meeting shall describe any deadlines, means and
methods for exercising shareholder rights related to remote attendance.
6. Remote attendance mechanisms must afford due guarantees of identification
of the shareholder or proxyholder(s) exercising the voting right. The
guarantees deemed adequate by the Board of Directors include a qualified
electronic signature or any other type of guarantee that the Board of
Directors deems adequate to ensure the authenticity and identification of the
shareholder or their proxyholders, notwithstanding any additional requirements
and conditions which may be established.
7. Board members, the Secretary of the General Meeting and the Notary Public
may attend the Meeting in person or remotely.
8. The Company shall not be liable for any damages which may be caused to a
shareholder arising out of breakdowns, overloads, dropped lines, failed
connections or any other circumstances of a like or similar nature which are
beyond the Company's control and which prevent the use of the long-distance
attendance mechanisms described herein.”
IV. Amend current Article 11 of the General Shareholders' Meeting Regulations,
which shall hereafter read as follows:
“ARTICLE 11. REPRESENTATION BY PROXY
1. Shareholders whose shares are registered in the appropriate book-entry
ledger five days before the meeting is held may be represented at the General
Meeting by proxy, subject to the provisions set forth in Articles 10, 10 BIS
and 10 TER. Proxies shall be granted in writing or using electronic means and
shall be granted specifically for each Meeting in accordance with the legal
provisions on such matter and with the provisions of the Bylaws and the
Meeting notice.
This power of representation is construed without prejudice to the provisions
of the law for cases of family representation and granting of general powers
of attorney.
In any case, both for cases of voluntary as well as legal proxies, there may
not be more than one proxyholder at the General Meeting, save in the cases
provided by law.
2. A proxy is always revocable. Attendance at the General Meeting shall have
the effect of revocation.
3. Those organizations with standing as shareholders by virtue of the
book-entry of the shares, but who act on behalf of various individuals, may
divide and cast their vote in different directions in accordance with
different voting instructions, if received.
4. If the proxy was validly granted in accordance with the law, the Bylaws and
these Regulations but did not include the identity of the proxyholder and/or
instructions regarding the exercise of voting rights, it shall be understood,
unless the Board of Directors establishes different rules applicable to any
specific General Shareholders' Meeting, that (i) the shareholder granting the
proxy has given the proxyholder specific instructions to vote for all
proposals submitted by the Board of Directors, (ii) the proxy has been granted
to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (iii) the proxy has been granted as
regards all items on the agenda for the General Meeting, and (iv) it also
covers all items which may arise outside the scope of the agenda, in which
case the proxyholder may cast a vote which he/she understands to be in the
best interests of the represented party.
5. Unless expressly stated otherwise by the shareholder, if the proxy has a
conflict of interest and lacks specific voting instructions or if, despite
having such instructions, the proxy wishes not to represent the shareholder
with regard to the items with which there is a conflict of interest, it shall
be understood that the shareholder has designated to represent him/her as
regards those items, jointly and in succession, in the event that any of the
following also have a conflict of interest, first, the Chairman of the General
Meeting, second, the Secretary thereof and, finally, the Vice Secretary of the
Board of Directors, if any, and, if not, or if the latter also has a conflict
of interest, the individual selected by the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors may resolve upon rules implementing or amending the provisions of
this section for application to a specific General Shareholders' Meeting."
V. Amend current Article 16 of the General Shareholders' Meeting Regulations,
which shall hereafter read as follows:
“ARTICLE 16. DRAWING UP OF THE ATTENDEE LIST
1. Attendance cards and proxies will be accepted up to the time set for the
General Shareholders’ Meeting to start. Thereafter, shareholders or proxies
who wish to attend the Meeting may do so in the same hall where the Meeting is
being held or, if deemed appropriate by the Company, in an adjacent hall from
which they can follow the Meeting, but they will not be deemed attendees of
the Meeting for the purpose of drawing up the attendance list.
In the case of remote attendance, the meeting notice for each Meeting shall
specify how soon before the start of the meeting a shareholder or proxyholder
wishing to attend such meeting should connect or register in order to be
considered present at the Meeting and to be included in the attendance list.
2. Before transacting the business on the agenda, an attendance list will be
drawn up, stating the nature or representative capacity of each attendee and
the number of shares held, directly or indirectly, by the attendees.
The attendee list may be drawn up on a card filing system or be included on a
computer medium. In these cases, the method used will be recorded in the
minutes themselves and the appropriate identification stamp, signed by the
Secretary of the General Shareholders Meeting and countersigned by the
Chairman, will be affixed to the sealed cover or the cover of the medium.
The number of shareholders, present or represented, will be stated at the end
of the list, as well as the amount of capital they own, specifying the capital
belonging to shareholders with voting rights.
3. As deemed necessary by the Chairman, he/she may designate two or more
scrutineer shareholders to assist the Presiding Panel in drawing up the
attendance list and, as the case may be, counting the votes.
4. During the General Shareholders’ Meeting any shareholder with the right
to attend may consult the attendance list provided that it does not delay or
postpone normal proceedings at the Meeting once the Chairman has declared the
Meeting to be legally convened, and the Presiding Panel of the Meeting is not
obliged to read or provide a copy of the list during proceedings at the
Meeting.
VI. Amend current Article 21 of the General Shareholders' Meeting Regulations,
which shall hereafter read as follows:
“ARTICLE 21. VOTING AND REPRESENTATION BY REMOTE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.
a) Shareholders whose shares are registered in the appropriate book-entry
ledger five days before the Meeting is held (including those who do not hold
the minimum number of shares required to attend in person) shall be entitled
to cast their votes on proposals concerning the agenda items by post or
through electronic communications, in accordance with the provisions of the
Corporate Bylaws and these Regulations and with any other rules supplementing
or implementing them as finally established by the Board of Directors.
Votes by post shall be cast by sending to the Company the attendance card
issued by the Company or by entities entrusted with carrying the book-entry
records, notwithstanding any additional requirements and conditions which may
be established by the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph b) of this article.
A vote by electronic communication shall be cast under qualified electronic
signature or any other type of guarantee the Board of Directors deems adequate
in order to ensure the authenticity and identification of the shareholder
exercising his/her right to vote, notwithstanding as well any additional
requisites or conditions that may be established by the Board of Directors in
accordance with the provisions of section b) of this article.
With respect to a vote cast by any of the means contemplated in this section
a), in order to allow the adequate processing thereof, receipt by the Company
must take place sufficiently in advance of the holding of the General Meeting.
Otherwise, the vote shall be deemed not to have been cast.
Shareholders who cast a distance vote in accordance with the provisions of
this paragraph a) shall be deemed to be present for purposes of the assembly
of the General Meeting in question.
b) The Board of Directors is authorized to implement the provisions in the
foregoing paragraph a), establishing the rules, means and procedures
compatible with the existing level of technology, as well as the forms,
conditions, restrictions and requirements that they deem appropriate in order
to supplement the rules set forth in these Regulations for exercising the
right to vote through distance means of communication. Furthermore, the Board
of Directors, on the basis of the stability and security offered by available
technical resources, shall establish the time as from which shareholders may
cast their vote by long-distance communication.
The Board of Directors shall publish on the Company’s website the
implementing and supplementary regulations to the scheme established in the
General Meeting Regulations as well as the time from which shareholders may
cast their vote at the General Meeting by long-distance communication.
c) In particular, the Board of Directors may regulate the use of guarantees
other than electronic signatures for the casting of electronic votes in order
to preserve the authenticity and identity of the shareholder exercising the
right to vote, and may also reduce the term of notice referred to in section
a) above for the company to receive votes cast by electronic or postal
correspondence.
In any case, the Board of Directors shall adopt the necessary measures to
avoid potential duplicity and ensure that the person who casts his/her vote by
postal or electronic correspondence has due standing to do so as provided by
Article 27 of the Corporate Bylaws.
d) The provisions of paragraphs a) and b) above shall also apply to a
shareholder authorizing a proxy for the General Shareholders Meeting by means
of electronic communication or any other means of long-distance communication.
In accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Bylaws, personal or remote
attendance by the shareholder at the General Meeting shall have the effect of
revoking a vote cast by postal or electronic correspondence. Furthermore,
personal or remote attendance by a shareholder otherwise represented by proxy
at the General Meeting shall have the effect of revoking the proxy granted by
electronic correspondence or any other means of long-distance communication
contemplated in the General Meeting Regulations.”
AGENDA ITEM EIGHT
Establishment of the number of members of the Board of Directors at eleven.
Set the number of members of the Board of Directors at eleven.
AGENDA ITEM NINE
Binding vote on the Annual Report on Directors Compensation.
Approve the Annual Report on Directors’ Compensation for fiscal year 2020.
AGENDA ITEM TEN
Approval of the Directors Compensation Policy for 2021–2023.
In consideration of the reasons stated in the relevant specific report of the
Appointments Committee, approve the Directors Compensation Policy for
2021-2023, under the terms set forth in the document made available to the
shareholders on the Company's website as from the publication date of the
meeting notice.
AGENDA ITEM ELEVEN
Approval of the Strategic Incentive 2021-2023 (including payment in Company
shares).
Approve the long-term variable compensation plan referred to as the "Strategic
Incentive 2021–2023" (the “2021-2023 Incentive"), which includes payments
in Company shares, insofar as ENDESA, S.A.'s executive Directors are included
among its beneficiaries, with the following key characteristics:
1. The 2021-2023 Incentive is a long-term compensation scheme primarily aimed
at compensating individuals in positions of greater responsibility for their
contributions to sustainable fulfillment of the Strategic Plan.
2. The 2021-2023 Incentive applies to the Executive Directors and all other
executives of the Endesa Group holding strategic responsibility, as determined
by the Board of Directors.
3. The performance period will be three years from 1 January 2021, for the
2021-2023 Incentive.
4. The 2021-2023 Incentive allocates an incentive to the beneficiaries that
includes the right to receive: (i) a select number of ordinary shares of
ENDESA, S.A. (the “Shares”) and (ii) a monetary payment linked to a
target, subject to the conditions and any potential changes resulting from
operation of the Plan.
As relates to the accrued incentive, the first 50% of the target under the
Plan shall be paid out fully in Shares.
The monetary amount to be paid out is calculated as the difference in the
total incentive accrued and the portion paid out in Shares.
If the maximum number of shares is not a whole number, the amount of Shares to
be allocated to each recipient shall be calculated by rounding the amount to
the nearest whole number (rounding down for values of 0.49 or less and
rounding up for values above 0.49).
5. Accrual of the 2021-2023 Incentive is linked to achievement of four targets
during the performance period:
a) Performance of average Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of ENDESA, S.A. in
relation to the average TSR performance of the selected benchmark, i.e. the
Euro-Stoxx Utilities Index. This parameter will be weighted at 50% of the
2021- 2023 incentive.
b) Target for the cumulative Return On Average Capital Employed during the
accrual period. Endesa’s cumulative ROACE target represents the ratio
between ordinary operating income (ordinary EBIT) and Average Net Invested
Capital, on a cumulative basis, during the 2021-2023 period.
This parameter will be weighted at 25% of the total incentive for the
2021-2023 Incentive.
c) Net installed capacity for renewable energy sources, calculated as the
ratio between ENDESA's net installed capacity for renewable energy sources and
total cumulative net installed capacity in 2023. This parameter will be
weighted at 15% of the 2021-2023 incentive.
d) Reduction of the Endesa Group's CO(2) emissions. This parameter will be
weighted at 10% of the 2021-2023 Incentive.
A threshold level beyond which the target is considered met and two
performance levels for targets that have been overachieved is established for
each target: performance beyond the first level equals 150% of the target and
performance beyond the second level constitutes maximum achievement of 180% of
the target. Therefore, variable compensation levels under the 2021-2023
Incentive will range from 0% to 180% of the incentive base (incentive base
(target ) equals 100% achievement).
6. The target assigned to each beneficiary under the 2021-2023 Incentive will
be as provided in their individual contracts, if addressed therein, or
otherwise, in the relevant Group policy defining different target percentage
levels based on the level of responsibility.
The maximum number of Shares that may be paid out under the 2021-2023
Incentive is 93,673. This maximum number of shares represents 0.00885% of
ENDESA, S.A.'s share capital as at the date this resolution is proposed.
The target for the Chief Executive Officer is €518,000, and the maximum
number of shares that he may receive is 11,028.
7. Both payments in the form of delivery of shares and cash payments shall be
made subject to the payment and deferral rules established in the Compensation
Policy and by the Board of Directors and, specifically, shall be made subject
to the relevant malus and clawback clauses.
8. It is resolved to delegate to the Board of Directors, with express power of
substitution, the authority to implement at the time and in the manner it
deems convenient, formalize, amend, construe, clarify and execute the
2021-2023 Incentive, adopting all resolutions and executing as many public or
private documents as may be necessary or convenient to ensure the full
effectiveness thereof, with the power to change, rectify, amend and supplement
and, in general, to adopt any resolutions and perform any actions necessary or
merely convenient for the effective implementation and operation of the
2021-2023 Incentive, including but not limited to, the following powers:
a) To set specific conditions for the 2021-2023 Incentive and to grant and
exercise rights thereunder, including the approval or amendment of the
2021–2023 Incentive, the determination of the beneficiaries, the conditions
for granting or exercising the rights and verifying achievement, the rights
that grant the status of beneficiary, the levels of performance for each of
the parameters established as a target, the effects of losing status as an
employee, executive or executive director of the Company or its Group or of a
change of control, determining the causes for early termination, etc.
b) To draft, sign and submit before any public or private bodies, the
beneficiaries or any other party, any documents and supplementary
communications which may be necessary or convenient for the purposes of
implementing and executing the 2021-2023 Incentive, granting rights and
delivering incentives, including, as the case may be, the relevant prior
notice and informational prospectuses.
c) To perform any actions or processes or file any returns before any person,
entity or registry, public or private, in order to obtain authorizations or
verifications as required to grant the rights and to pay the incentives.
d) To adapt the contents of the 2021-2023 Incentive to the corporate
circumstances or transactions that may arise during the term thereof, in the
terms deemed convenient and, to the extent required or recommended by any
legal provisions applicable to any of the beneficiaries, or as may be
necessary for legal, regulatory, operating or similar reasons, to adapt the
general conditions.
e) To draft and publish any announcements which may be necessary or
convenient.
f) To draft, sign, execute and, as the case may be, certify any type of
document related to the 2021-2023 Incentive.
g) And, in general, to perform as many actions and execute as many documents
as required or convenient for the full validity and effectiveness of the
incorporation, implementation, operation, execution, settlement and completion
of the 2021-2023 Incentive and the previously adopted resolutions.
