person concerned must waive or transfer to Enel. The General
Manager’s relationship as an executive exists for the
entire duration of his relationship as a Director and expires
at the same time as the latter.
As far as the variable component of the compensation
of the Company’s top management (specifically, the positions
of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer/General
Manager, who are assigned the same objectives) is concerned,
the Group objectives established for 2010 related
to both (i) quantitative targets, with specific regard to
the achievement of the consolidated EBITDA set by the
budget (weight: 25%), reduction of the consolidated financial
debt (weight: 20%), the level of satisfaction of the
customers who accepted the offers of the subsidiary Enel
Energia SpA (weight: 10%), the margin of the generation
area (weight: 20%), workplace safety (weight: 10%); and
(ii) qualitative targets relating to the effectiveness of the
communication and information plan on the nuclear competences
of Enel and the assessment of the results of the
“climate” investigation within the Group (overall weight:
15%).
In his capacity as General Manager, the Chief Executive Officer/General
Manager is one of the beneficiaries of the
long-term incentive plans based on financial instruments
(stock options and restricted share units) or to be paid in
cash (long-term incentive) addressed to the executives of
the Company and of the Group.
Enel ensures the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager
compensation in case of death or permanent invalidity
during the carrying out of his assignment and has taken
out insurance policies to ensure his severance pay.
Finally, it should be pointed out that the person concerned
is entitled to (i) in his capacity as Chief Executive
Officer, compensation in case of his justified resignation
or his removal without a just cause, (ii) in his capacity as
General Manager, compensation at the termination of his
relationship as an executive (in consequence of the expiry
of his relationship as a Director), and (iii) consideration for
the undertaking not to engage – for one year as from the
termination of his labor relationship – in his own and directly,
in any business activities anywhere in the European
Union territory that could be in competition with those
carried on by Enel.
The features of such compensation and of the said consideration
are described in the first section of this report
(under “Ownership structure” - “Compensation of the Directors
in case of early termination of the relationship, also
following a takeover bid”).

Corporate governance
In 2011, following the appointment of the new Board
of Directors, to be made in occasion of the approval of
the 2010 financial statements, the Company will conform
to the recommendations introduced in March
2010 in the Self-regulation Code in relation to the compensation
of the Directors and executives with strategic
responsibilities.
Limit to the number of offices
held by Directors
The Directors accept their office and maintain it in the
belief that they can dedicate the necessary time to the
diligent performance of their duties, taking into account
both the number and the nature of the offices
they hold in the boards of directors and the boards of
statutory auditors of other companies of significant size
and the commitment required by the other professional
activities they carry on and the offices they hold in associations.
In this regard, it should be noted that in December 2006
the Board of Directors approved (and formalized in a specially
provided document) a policy regarding the maximum
number of offices that its members may hold in the
boards of directors and the boards of statutory auditors
of other companies of significant size in order to ensure
that the persons concerned have sufficient time available
to effectively perform the role they have on the Board of
Directors of Enel.
In accordance with the recommendations of the Selfregulation
Code, the aforesaid policy considers significant
to this end only the offices held on the boards of directors
and the boards of statutory auditors of the following
kinds of companies:
> companies with shares listed on regulated markets, including
foreign ones;
> Italian and foreign companies with shares not listed on
regulated markets and doing business in the fields of
insurance, banking, securities intermediation, mutual
funds, or finance (as far as the last field is concerned,
only with regard to finance companies subject to the
prudential supervision of the Bank of Italy and included
on the special list referred to in article 107 of the Unified
Banking Act);
> other Italian and foreign companies with shares not
listed on regulated markets that, even though they
do business in fields other than those specified under
