Milan, 17 October 2017 - Edison announces that it has acquired a controlling interest in Frendy Energy S.p.A. (Frendy), through purchases today, from four different sellers, of 29,704,909 ordinary Frendy shares, representing 50.078% of capital, at the price of €0.34 per share, for a total outlay of €10,099,669.06.

Frendy's shares are admitted to trading on AIM Italia – Alternative Capital Market, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

In accordance with the law, the consideration for the offer will also be €0.34 per each ordinary share (the “Mandatory Offer”).

It should also be noted that today Edison, as offeror, published the notice required by Art. 102, par.1, of the Consolidated Finance Act and Art. 37 of the Regulation on Issuers, in which it announced the Mandatory Offer pursuant to Articles 102 and 106, par. 1 of the Consolidated Finance Act.
