Upon the start of the works, around 70.831278% of Enel's share capital was represented at the Meeting.

The Shareholders' Meeting approved Enel's financial statements at December 31st, 2019, while the consolidated financial statements and the consolidated non-financial statement of the Enel Group, both referred to the same financial year, were presented.

Acting on a proposal of the Board of Directors, the Shareholders' Meeting also approved an overall dividend of 0.328 euros per share and the distribution of 0.168 euros per share as the balance of the dividend, following the interim dividend of 0.16 euros per share already paid in January 2020 (pursuant to the relevant legislation, the dividend was not distributed to the 1,549,152 treasury shares held by the Company at the "record date" of January 21st, 2020).
