ROME, Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ENEL Finance International N.V. ("ENEL" or the "Company"), a Dutch subsidiary of ENEL – Società per Azioni, a joint stock corporation incorporated in Italy (the "Guarantor"), today announces the pricing terms of its previously announced cash tender offers (collectively, the "Offers") for $1,500,000,000 combined aggregate principal amount (the "Original Maximum Tender Amount") of the debt securities listed in the table below (collectively, the "Securities") validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) from each registered holder of Securities (individually, a "Holder", and collectively, the "Holders"). Subject to the Amended Maximum Tender Amount (as defined below), the Offers and order of priority (the "Acceptance Priority Levels" as set forth in the table below under "Acceptance Priority Level") are as described in the Offer to Purchase dated September 21, 2021, as amended or supplemented (the "Offer to Purchase").
The "Total Consideration" for each series per $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers was determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity based on the bid side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security, in each case as set forth in the table below, and is payable to Holders of the Securities who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Securities on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 4, 2021 (the "Early Tender Deadline") and whose Securities are accepted for purchase by the Company. The Reference Yields (as determined pursuant to the Offer to Purchase) listed in the table below were determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today, October 5, 2021, by the Dealer Managers (as defined below). The Total Consideration for each series of Securities includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders and accepted for purchase by the Company.

Per $1,000 principal amount validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase. |
As announced today, ENEL has amended the Offers by decreasing the Original Maximum Tender Amount disclosed in the Offer to Purchase to $1,471,703,000 (the "Amended Maximum Tender Amount").
All payments for Securities purchased in connection with the Early Tender Deadline will also include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Securities purchased from the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Securities up to, but not including, the early settlement date, which is expected to occur on October 6, 2021.
Although the Offers are scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 19, 2021, because the principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the Amended Maximum Tender Amount, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Securities after the Early Tender Deadline. Any Securities tendered after the Early Tender Deadline will be promptly credited to the account of the Holder of such Securities maintained at The Depository Trust Company and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
In accordance with the terms of the Offers, the Withdrawal Deadline was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 4, 2021. As a result, tendered Securities may not be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Company).
