Following the EDF Group's mandatory public offer for Edison's ordinary shares, the EDF Group now holds 5,154,369,098 ordinary Edison shares, or 99.484% of the total equity capital.
Pursuant to Italian law, Edison's ordinary shares will no longer be listed as of 11 September 2012. This does not rule out the possibility of later reopening the equity capital to new shareholders.
