ENEL AMÉRICAS ANNOUNCES PLANNED VOLUNTARY
DELISTING OF ITS NOTES FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
SANTIAGO, CHILE, July 1, 2022 ─
ENEL AMÉRICAS S.A. (NYSE: ENIAY) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved the voluntary delisting of
its outstanding 4.00% Notes due October 25, 2026 (NYSE: ENIA26A) and 6.60% Notes due December 1, 2026 (NYSE: ENIA26) (collectively, the
“Notes”) from The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and deregistration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) upon satisfaction of the requirements for deregistration. In connection with its intended delisting,
Enel Américas notified the NYSE today that it will apply for voluntary delisting of the Notes and has requested that the Notes
be suspended from trading on July 21, 2022. As a result, the last day of trading for the Notes on the NYSE is expected to be on July 20,
2022.
| 1. | Reasons for the Application for Voluntary Delisting of the Notes from the NYSE |
On May 31, 2022, Enel Américas announced
its intention to voluntarily delist its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) from the NYSE, to terminate its American Depositary
Receipt facility and to deregister with the SEC upon satisfaction of the requirements for deregistration under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Given these circumstances, Enel Américas has concluded that the costs
of compliance, the demand of management’s time and resources required to maintain the listing of the Notes on the NYSE and to satisfy
the periodic reporting obligations applicable to the Notes under the Exchange Act are greater than the benefits received by Enel Américas
and the holders of the Notes. As a result, Enel Américas has decided to file an application for voluntary delisting of the Notes
from the NYSE as part of its effort to reduce operational expenses.
| 2. | No Other Listing of the Notes |
Enel Américas has not arranged for the
listing of the Notes on another national securities exchange in the United States or for quotation of such securities in any other quotation
system.
| 3. | Implementation Schedule of Application for Voluntary Delisting of the Notes from the NYSE* |
July 1, 2022 Notice to the NYSE of its application to
delist the Notes

the Notes from the NYSE

5. Future
Actions
On or after the effective date of the Form
25 and following satisfaction of the relevant conditions for terminating its reporting obligations Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act with
respect to the Notes, Enel Américas intends to file a Form 15F to terminate its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act with respect to the Notes. Enel Américas intends to release further information on such termination of its Section
15(d) reporting obligations with respect to the Notes at a later date.
Enel Américas reserves the right, for
any reason, to delay any of the filings described above, to withdraw them prior to effectiveness, and to otherwise change its plans in
respect of delisting of the Notes and the termination of its reporting obligations with respect to the Notes under applicable U.S. federal
securities laws in any way.
