Eni’s Board of Directors

 

• Approves reorganisation connected to the "dual offer" project
• Approves the issue of a bond up to 1.5 billion euro by June 30, 2008
• Adjusts Corporate Governance

Rome, June 7, 2007 - Eni’s Board of Directors has resolved today the partial demerger of EniPower (Eni SpA 100%) in favour of Eni.

Through the demerger the assets of EniPower unit "Marketing, Trading and Risk Management" will be transferred to Eni that, since January 1, 2007 already operates said activities on the basis of a lease contract.

The proposed partial demerger aims at an integrated gas-electricity business model allowing Eni to provide a "dual offer" of both natural gas supply (already present in Eni Gas & Power Division) and electricity supply.

Eni’s Board of Directors also resolved to issue a bond amounting up to 1.5 billion euro, to be issued in one or more tranches by June 30, 2008. The bond issue aims at a better balance between short and medium-long term debt of Eni. The bond will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The Board made further decisions concerning corporate governance.

Specifically, it amended the composition of the Internal Control Committee in order to adequate it to the guidelines of the Voluntary Code of Practice whereby the internal committees of the Board of Directors have a maximum of four members (all non executive directors, the majority of whom independent), a number lower than the majority of members of the Board of Directors.

 


Table of Contents

 

The members of the committee are: Marco Reboa, Chairman, Alberto Clô, Renzo Costi and Pierluigi Scibetta, all non-executive and independent directors.

The Board of Directors also appointed professor Mario Cattaneo and professor Giovanni Maria Garegnani as new external members in the Compliance Committee, in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 231/2001.

PRESS RELEASE

 

 

ENI AND GAZPROM SIGN THE AGREEMENT FOR THE SOUTH STREAM PROJECT

Rome, June 23, 2007 - Eni and Gazprom signed today, in the presence of the Minister of Industry and Energy of the Russian Federation, Viktor Khristenko, and Italy’s Minister for Economic Development, Pierluigi Bersani, a Memorandum of Understanding for the realization of South Stream, a new gas pipeline system which will link Russia to the European Union across the Black Sea.

The agreement is for the implementation of a technical and economic feasibility study of the project and for the necessary political and regulatory evaluations. It establishes the guidelines for the cooperation between both companies for the planning, financing, construction and technical and commercial management of the pipelines.

The South Stream project represents a further step towards the implementation of the strategic agreement signed in November 2006 by Eni and Gazprom.

Following the commercial agreements and the entry of Eni in Russian upstream, this new agreement further strengthens the alliance between Eni and Gazprom and will significantly contribute to improving the security of energy supply for the European Union. The project is particularly relevant in the context of the significant gas shortage which will be experienced by the European Union between now and 2015, as demand increases while internal production decreases significantly.

The transport capacity of South Stream will be defined through feasibility studies in order to optimize costs and on the basis of market analyses that will be carried out in the countries involved as well as in the end markets.

According to preliminary studies carried out by Saipem, costs are comparable with the development of the LNG chain (liquefaction plants, ships and re-gasification plants).

In its offshore section, the South Stream will cross the Black Sea from the Russian coast of Beregovaya – the same starting point of the Blue Stream pipeline – to the Bulgarian coast, with a 900-km pipeline reaching a maximum water depth of more than 2,000 metres.

For the onshore section two different routes from Bulgaria are being studied: a route towards northwest and one towards southwest. Eni and Gazprom will carry out the project using the most advanced technologies in full respect of the strictest environmental criteria.

"The South Stream project – Italy’s Minister for Economic Development Pierluigi Bersani said – aims at strengthening Europe’s energy security. The agreement signed today once again testifies to the strength of the strategic partnership between Italy and the Russian Federation that will support the cooperation between the European Union and Russia".

"The Governments of the countries involved or potentially interested in the South Stream project are to build an efficient system of agreements supporting the initiative of the Italian and Russian companies. This is a prime example of a situation where the objectives of an industrial project overlap with the interests of the governments and populations of several European countries", Viktor Khristenko, the Minister of Industry and Energy of the Russian Federation, commented.

"The South Stream project is the third pillar of the strategic agreement signed by Eni and Gazprom in November 2006 Eni CEO, Paolo Scaroni, declared. This project in the gas midstream would enable Eni to add further value to its recent acquisitions of the assets of Arctic Gas and Urengoil. The South Stream project, whose development respects all sustainability and environmental criteria, will represent a decisive step towards strengthening the security of energy supply for the whole of Europe".

Gazprom Deputy Chairman, Alexander Medvedev, said: "This Memorandum of Understanding is a concrete action aiming at developing a long-term strategic partnership which both Eni and Gazprom will take advantage from. It is a further step towards the tangible execution of Gazprom’s strategy to diversify Russian gas supply routes towards European countries and significantly contribute to Europe’s energy security".

Failing to comply, the law court, upon request of the Minister of Economy and Finance, will order the sale of the shares representing a material shareholding according to the procedures set forth in Article 2359-ter of the Civil Code.

17.2 The Board of Directors is appointed for a period of up to three financial years; this term lapses on the date of the shareholders' meeting convened to approve the financial statements of the last year of their office. They may be reappointed.

17.3 The Board of Directors, except for the member appointed pursuant to Article 6.2, letter d) of these by-laws, is appointed by the shareholders' meeting on the basis of lists presented by Shareholders and by the Board of Directors; in such lists the candidates must be listed in numerical order. Should the retiring Board of Directors present its own candidate list, it must be deposited at the company's registered office and published in at least three Italian newspapers of general circulation, two of them business dailies, at least twenty days before the date set for the first call of the shareholders' meeting. Candidate lists presented by Shareholders must be deposited and published as indicated in the foregoing at least ten days before the date set for the first call of the shareholders' meeting.

Each Shareholder may present or take part in the presenting of only one candidate list and vote only one candidate list. Those who are controlling or controlled entities or are under common control, as defined by Article 93 of Legislative Decree No. 58 issued on February 24, 1998, by the same entity of the shareholder presenting a list shall not present nor take part in the presentation of another candidate list, nor vote them, also through intermediaries or fiduciaries.

Table of Contents

Together with the deposit of each list, in order to assure its validity, the following documents shall be deposited: (i) the curriculum of each candidate; (ii) statements of each candidate to accept his nomination and attest, in his own responsibility, that causes for his ineligibility and incompatibility are non existing and that he possesses the aforementioned honorability and, if any, independence requirements.

The Directors appointed shall communicate to the Company if they have lost the above mentioned independence and honorability requirements and if situations of ineligibility or incompatibility have arisen.

The Board of Directors evaluates periodically the independence and the honorability of its members and if situations of ineligibility or incompatibility have arisen.

If the honorability or independence requirements declared and set forth by the legislation in force are not present or elapse for a Board member or if situations of ineligibility or incompatibility have arisen, the Board of Directors removes said Board member and resolves upon his substitution or invites him to remove the situation of incompatibility within the term set by the Board itself; if this last condition is not met, the Director will be removed from office.

Board members will be elected in the following manner:

a)   seven tenths of the members to be elected will be drawn out from the candidate list that receives the majority of votes expressed by the Shareholders in the numerical order in which they appear on the list, rounded off in the event of a fractional number to the next lower number;
b)   the remaining Board members will be drawn out from the other candidate lists; said lists shall not be linked in any way, neither indirectly, to the shareholders who have presented or voted the list that has obtained the highest number of votes; to this purpose the votes obtained by each candidate list will be divided by one or two depending on the number of the members to be elected. The quotients thus obtained will be assigned progressively to candidates of each said list in the order given in the lists themselves. Quotients thus assigned to candidates of said lists will be set in one decreasing numerical order. Those who obtain the highest quotients will be elected.
In the event that more than one candidate obtains the same quotient, the candidate elected will be the one of the list that has not hitherto had a Board member elected or that has elected the least number of Board members.
In the event that none of the lists has yet elected a Board member or that all of them have elected the same number of Board members, the candidate from all such lists who has obtained the largest number of votes will be elected. In the event of equal list votes and equal quotient, a new vote will be taken by the entire shareholders' meeting and the candidate elected will be the one who obtains a simple majority of the votes;
c)   if through the procedure described above the minimum number of independent Directors set by these by-laws is not elected, the quotient is calculated according to

Table of Contents
    letter b) above in order to be assigned to the candidates present in each list; the independent candidates not yet drawn from the lists pursuant to letters a) and b) above, who have got the highest quotients will be elected in order to meet the provision of the by-laws on the number of the independent Directors. The Directors so appointed will replace the non independent Directors to whom the lowest quotients have been assigned. If the number of independent candidates is lower than the minimum limit set by the By-laws, the shareholders' meeting will make a resolution with the majorities prescribed by the law to substitute the not independent candidates who have got the lowest quotients;
d)   to appoint Board members for any reason not covered by the terms of the aforementioned procedure, the shareholders' meeting will make a resolution with the majorities prescribed by the law in order, however, to assure that the Board composition complies with the current legislation and the by-laws.

The vote by list procedure shall apply only in case of appointment of the entire Board of Directors.

17.4 The shareholders' meeting may, even during the Board's term of office, change the number of members of the Board of Directors, always within the limits set forth in paragraph 17.1 above, and make the relating appointments. Board members so elected will expire at the same time as the rest of the Board.

The Project will be submitted to the approval of the competent bodies of the companies involved and contains the information and data requested by the current legislation.

Reasons of the demerger

The proposed demerger ("Demerger") aims at an integrated gas-electricity business model in order to offer Eni middle-market and mass-market clients a "dual offer" of both natural gas supply (already present in Eni Gas & Power Division) and electricity supply (managed until December 31, 2006 by EniPower). In order to pursue such objective, the assets of EniPower unit "Marketing, Trading and Risk Management" (the "Unit") will be transferred to Eni that, since January 1, 2007 already operates said activities on the basis of a lease contract which will be terminated on the date of effectiveness of the Demerger.

As Eni owns all the shares issued by EniPower, the information required by Article 2501-ter, first Paragraph, No. 1), 2), 6), 7) and 8), to which Article 2506-bis, first Paragraph, of the Civil Code refers to for the demerger operations, and the description of the assets to be assigned to Eni are hereby given.

The assets and liabilities of the Unit will be transferred to Eni through the Demerger; said assets and liabilities and their book value at December 31, 2006 are the following:

  Book value
Cash 9,721,232.28
Other current assets (*) 399,605.79
Property, plan and equipment 10,871.38
Total assets 10,131,709.45
Other current liabilities (**) 9,032,945.27

The above-mentioned assets and liabilities have been assessed on the basis of IFRS principles used for the financial statements at December 31, 2006 and will be transferred with the related subjective positions to Eni as beneficiary company on the basis of the related book values on the date of effectiveness of the Demerger. Therefore Eni will succeed to EniPower in the rights and duties of the demerged company and in its relationships with third parties connected to the abovementioned assets and liabilities. The imbalance, if any, in these assets and liabilities that could arise in the period commencing on December 31, 2006 and ending on the date of effectiveness of the Demerger will be adjusted in cash.

The companies involved in the Demerger, pursuant to Article 2506-ter, second Paragraph, of the Civil Code have appraised the effective value of the assets and liabilities to be transferred to Eni and of the assets and liabilities left to EniPower. According to the appraisal issued, the effective value of said assets and liabilities is not less than their respective book value.

As the net equity to be demerged is null, EniPower share capital and the other components of the shareholders’ equity will not be reduced; consequently the book value of the participation recorded in Eni financial statements will not be reduced.

REPORT ON THE DEMERGER OF ENIPOWER SpA ("ENIPOWER") AND SUBSEQUENT
TRANSFER OF PART OF ITS ASSETS TO ENI SpA ("ENI")

The Chief Executive Officer submits to the approval of the Board of Directors the project of partial demerger of EniPower S.p.A. ("EniPower") in favour of Eni S.p.A. ("Eni").

The following report has been drawn up pursuant to Consob Regulation No. 11971 dated May 14, 1999, Annex 3A-Schedule 1.

1.a) Description of the demerger, of its reasons and of the operating objectives of the companies involved in the demerger and their related programs

The proposed partial demerger ("Demerger") aims at an integrated gas-electricity business model in order to offer Eni middle-market and mass-market clients a "dual offer" of both natural gas supply (already present in Eni Gas & Power Division) and electricity supply (managed until December 31, 2006 by EniPower).

In order to pursue such objective, the assets of Enipower unit "Marketing, Trading and Risk Management" (the "Unit") will be transferred to Eni that, since January 1, 2007 already operates said activities on the basis of a lease contract which will be terminated on the date of effectiveness of the Demerger.

1.b) Description of the assets to be transferred from EniPower to Eni

The Demerger will be executed on the basis of the Annual Reports at December 31, 2006 of Eni and EniPower.

The assets and liabilities of the Unit will be transferred to Eni through the Demerger; said assets and liabilities and their book value at December 31, 2006 are the following:

Table of Contents
  Book value
Cash 9,721,232.28
Other current assets (*) 399,605.79
Property, plan and equipment 10,871.38
Total assets 10,131,709.45
Other current liabilities (**) 9,032,945.27
Provisions for benefits to employees 869,174.71
Total liabilities 10,131,709.45
Total equity to be demerged 0.00

(*) Of which 344,715.40 euro referred to the positive fair value at December 31, 2006 of the derivative contracts on commodities signed by EniPower.
(**) Negative fair value at December 31, 2006 of the derivative contracts on commodities signed by EniPower.

The above-mentioned assets and liabilities have been assessed on the basis of IFRS principles used for the financial statements at December 31, 2006 and will be transferred with the related subjective positions to Eni as beneficiary company on the basis of the related book values on the date of effectiveness of the Demerger. Therefore Eni will succeed to EniPower in the rights and duties of the demerged companies and in its relationships with third parties connected to the abovementioned assets and liabilities. The imbalance, if any, in these assets and liabilities that could arise in the period commencing on December 31, 2006 and ending on the date of effectiveness of the Demerger will be adjusted in cash.

The companies involved in the Demerger, pursuant to Article 2506-ter, second paragraph, of the Civil Code have appraised the effective value of the assets and liabilities to be transferred to Eni and of the assets and liabilities left to EniPower. According to the appraisal issued, the effective value of said assets and liabilities is not less than their respective book value.

As the net equity to be demerged is null, EniPower share capital and the other components of the shareholders’ equity will not be reduced; consequently the book value of the participation recorded in Eni financial statements will not be reduced.

1.c) Criteria followed for the allocation of shares issued by Eni in order to give execution to the Demerger

As EniPower share capital is wholly owned by Eni, Eni shares will not be issued nor assigned.

1.d) Comments of the Board of Directors on the existence of the withdrawal right for dissenting shareholders

1.e) If the withdrawal right occurs, indication of the persons allowed to and of the terms and conditions of its exercise and for the payment of the reimbursement and of the criteria used to determine it

The company objects of Eni already contain those of the Unit to be transferred through the Demerger; therefore they shall not be amended; the exercise of the withdrawal right shall not apply.

1.f) Estimates of the effects of the Demerger on the relevant shareholdings and on the control of the beneficiary company and of the company to be demerged following the Demerger

The Demerger will affect neither the relevant shareholdings of Eni and EniPower shareholdings nor Eni and EniPower control.

Eni and EniPower, pursuant to Article 2506-ter, second paragraph, of the civil code, have executed the appraisal of the current value of the net assets to be assigned to Eni and those left to EniPower. It results that the related values is not less than the related book values.

1.g) Effects of the Demerger on the pacts among the shareholders of the beneficiary company and of the company to be demerged mentioned in Article 122 of Legislative Decree 58/98

Eni doesn't know the existence of pacts among its shareholders. Eni is the sole shareholder of EniPower.

1.h) Description of the rights of the shares to be assigned to the shareholders of the demerged company

As explained in paragraph 1.c), as Eni is the beneficiary company of the Demerger and EniPower sole shareholder; therefore Eni shares will not be assigned.

1.i) Criteria used to determine the exchange ratio. Mention the appraisals, if any, of the current value of the net assets to be demerged and of Eni and the evaluation methods used

As explained in paragraph 1.c), as Eni is the beneficiary company of the Demerger and EniPower sole shareholder, Eni shares will not be assigned; therefore neither exchange ratio has been calculated nor appraisals of Eni and Enipower have been executed to this end.

1.l) Date as of EniPower operations will be charged, also for tax purposes, to Eni Financial Statements

The Demerger will be effective, also for accounting and tax purposes, as of the date of the last deposit of the Deed of Demerger, pursuant to Article 2506-quater, first Paragraph, of the Civil Code.

1.m) Tax consequences of the Demerger on the companies involved

The Demerger will not determine capital gains nor capital losses; therefore no tax liabilities will arise from its execution for Eni or EniPower.

-   approve the project of partial demerger of EniPower S.p.A. on the basis of their respective Financial Statements at December 31, 2006;

REPORT ON THE ISSUE OF THE BOND DENOMINATED "ENI SpA - EURO MEDIUM TERM NOTES - THIRD EMISSION"

The Chief Executive Officer submits to the approval of the Board of Directors the issue of the bond denominated "Eni SpA - Euro Medium Term Notes - Third emission" (the "Bond").

The report has been drawn up pursuant to Consob Regulation No. 11971 dated May 14, 1999, Annex 3A-Schedule 2.

Description and destination of the issue

Eni Board of Directors has authorised an Euro Medium Term Notes Program (the "Program") for issues totalling 6 billion euro. On June 2000 and April 2003 the Board resolved, within this Program, two bond issues totalling two billion euro.

The recent assets acquisitions for a total amount of euro 9.4 billion (assets upstream in Congo and Gulf of Mexico, ex-Yukos assets in Russia, including the participation in Gazpromneft, refining & marketing assets), also in consideration of the company’s results, make it necessary to consolidate Eni financial structure in order to: (i) maintain the current balance between short and medium-long debts; (ii) collect low-cost financial resources, taking advantage of Eni high rating - AA from Standard & Poor’s and Aa2 from Moody’s; (iii) diversify the financial sources.

In order to meet these goals, it is necessary that Eni resolve, on the basis of the Program, a new bond issue to be allocated on the euromarket.

In consideration of the nature of the financial needs and of the current market conditions, the funding will have a long-term duration not shorter than 5 and not longer than 30 years and may be executed also in more tranches.

Information on the foreseeable closing of the current financial year

The outlook for Eni in 2007 remains positive, with key business trends for the year as follows:

-   Production of liquids and natural gas is forecast to remain at the same level as 2006 (in 2006 oil and gas production averaged 1.77 mmboe/d) assuming a 55$/barrel scenario for the Brent crude oil;
-   Sales volumes of natural gas worldwide are expected to increase by 1% over 2006 (actual sales volumes in 2006 were 97.48 bcm). Major increases are expected in certain target markets in the Rest of Europe, mainly in the Iberian Peninsula, the North of Europe, France and Germany/Austria markets;

-   Sales volumes of electricity are expected to slightly increase from 2006 (actual volumes in 2006 were 31.03 TWh);
-   Refining throughputs on Eni’s account are forecast to slightly decrease from 2006 (actual throughputs in 2006 were 38.04 mmtonnes) due to the expiration of a processing contract at the Priolo refinery owned by a third party late in 2006, to be offset by higher throughputs expected at the Gela, Livorno and Taranto refineries;
-   Retail sales of refined products are expected to slightly increase from 2006 (actual volumes sold in 2006 were 12.48 mmtonnes). Increases are expected on both the Italian and European markets due to the entry into service of new outlets, following also the acquisition of service stations in target markets.

In 2007 management expects Eni’s capital expenditure on exploration and capital projects to amount to approximately euro 10.5 billion, representing a 34% increase over 2006. Approximately 86% of this capital expenditure programme is expected to be deployed in the Exploration & Production, Gas & Power and Refining & Marketing divisions, to be added to the above mentioned acquisitions of assets and interests amounting to euro 9.4 billion. Assuming Gazprom exercises its call options to purchase ex-Yukos gas assets from Eni, net cash outflows used in investing activities will decrease to euro 16.4 billion. On the basis of the expected cash outflows for this capital expenditure and acquisition program, and shareholders remuneration, also assuming a 55 $/barrel scenario for the Brent crude oil, Eni foresees a leverage ranging from 0.3 to 0.4 by the end of the year, depending on the exercise of the above mentioned call options by Gazprom.
