Following the mandatory public tender offer launched by the EDF Group over Edison ordinary shares, 904,822,259 shares have been tendered, and the EDF Group holds 98.104% of Edison ordinary shares.

Edison minority shareholders are entitled to sell-out their ordinary shares in Edison to the EDF Group at a price equal to Euro 0.89 per share during a supplementary period starting from 13 August until 4 September 2012.

Taking into account the level of the acceptances to the offer, pursuant to Italian law, the ordinary shares of Edison shall be subsequently delisted from the stock market. This does not preclude the possibility of an eventual re-opening of its capital.
