Davis Polk advised Enel SpA in connection with its entry into two share swap transactions with a financial institution to increase its equity stake in its listed Chilean subsidiary Enel Chile S.A. Pursuant to the swap transactions, Enel may acquire up to 1,763,747,209 shares of Enel Chile common stock and up to 6,224,990 of Enel Chile American Depositary Shares, each representing 50 shares of Enel Chile common stock, totaling up to 3.0% of Enel Chile’s share capital. The swap transactions are in line with Enel’s previously announced strategic plan, which foresees the buy-out of minority interests in South America.
