Eni announces that, following the de-listing of the hypothesized offense - already determined in the hearing of 17 February last - in relation to the ongoing investigations into certain activities in Congo, the GIP accepted the hypothesis of an agreed sanction proposed by the Public which Eni has joined.

Eni reiterates its satisfaction with the confirmation by the Milan Public Prosecutor of the non-existence, even in this case, of the hypothesis of international corruption. This allowed the definition of the solution approved today.

Eni reminds once again how today's outcome does not represent an admission of the inadequacy of its models or guilt by the company with respect to the alleged crime, but an initiative aimed exclusively at avoiding the continuation of a judicial process that would entail a new and significant non-recoverable expenditure of costs and resources.
