Eni announces its intention to proceed with the listing of Plenitude on Euronext Milan

San Donato Milanese (Milan), 9 June 2022 – Eni S.p.A. (“Eni”) announces today its intention to launch an initial public offering (the “IPO”) for Eni Plenitude S.p.A. Società Benefit (“Plenitude” or the “Company”) for the listing of Plenitude’s ordinary shares on Euronext Milan, a regulated market which is organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A..

The IPO is expected to consist of a public offering to the general public in Italy and of a private placement reserved for qualified investors in Italy and the European Economic Area and to foreign institutional investors outside the United States of America pursuant to Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in the United States of America only to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act, excluding those countries in which the offer is not permitted without an authorization by the competent authorities, in accordance with applicable laws, or applicable statutory or regulatory exemptions.

The free float required for listing purposes will be reached through the sale of shares by Eni. The listing will attract new capital to Eni, maximizing the value of Plenitude and the stake owned by Eni and unlocking new resources to be allocated for the energy transition path.

The IPO is consistent with the strategic approach developed by Eni that includes the creation of dedicated entities with tailored business models focused on their customers and the capability to independently access the capital markets. Eni will continue to retain a majority stake in the Company, preserving its consolidation. Following the completion of the IPO, Plenitude will continue to benefit from Eni’s support, including its R&D, HSE culture, project management and financial strengths.

Claudio Descalzi, Eni CEO, commented: “Plenitude will help millions of customers across Europe switching to sustainable energy. Partially selling the business will unlock significant value and accelerate its growth, helping Eni cut the Scope 3 emissions currently generated by our customers - a key step to achieving our net zero target. We will continue invest in innovation to accelerate the energy transition and ensure our new businesses have the operational and financing models they need to scale quickly”.

Plenitude supplies natural gas and energy to around 10 million customers, has a portfolio of around 1.4 GW of installed renewable energy capacity in operation and intends to reach over 6 GW installed by 2025 and over 15 GW by 2030. In the e-mobility sector, as of March 2022 the Company has a network of around 7,300 recharging points and it plans to expand it to about 30,000 recharging points by 2025 and over 35,000 by 2030.

Plenitude was formed in 2017 from the combination of Eni’s retail gas & power activities. Today the Company has more than 2,000 employees and operates within the entire electricity value chain with a unique business model, which combines generation of electricity from renewables, sale of energy and energy services to retail customers, and a capillary network of charging points for electric vehicles.

Plenitude is a “Società Benefit”, which aims to have a positive impact on people, communities and the environment, and is part of Eni's broader commitment to create value through the energy transition and achieve carbon neutrality by zeroing net Scope 1, 2 and 3 CO₂ emissions by 2040.

_{Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II”); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures; and/or (d) (where applicable to UK investors or UK firms) the relevant provisions of the statutory instruments implementing Directive 2014/65/EU and Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593, Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament, which is part of UK law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK MiFID Laws” and together with MiFID II, the “MiFID II Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in the UK MiFID Laws and MiFID II (as applicable); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II and the UK MiFID Laws (as applicable) to such target market (the “Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Shares may decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.

_{The information herein contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included herein are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business as well as the industries in which the Company operates, as well as the beliefs and assumptions of the Company’s management.  In particular, certain statements with regard to management objectives, trends in results of operations, margins, costs, return on equity, risk management and competition tend to be forward-looking in nature. These statements may include, without limitation, any statements preceded by, followed by or including words such as “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “goal,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “will,” “can have,” “likely,” “should,” “would,” “could” and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negative thereof. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors beyond the Company’s control that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the expected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which it will operate in the future. Therefore, the Company’s actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of future performance. The Company therefore cautions against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.}
