In contrast, the performance of the Acea Group’s unregulated business (Energy Generation and Sales) was affected by the progressive decline in demand for electricity as a result of the worsening international economic situation. The results for 9M  2009 also reflect the impact of tax expense relating to further recovery of aid received in the form of the so-called “tax moratorium”, and previously announced non-recurring events (indemnities paid to the previous management team on leaving the Group and the recognition in 9M 2008 of extraordinary income essentially regarding return of the find imposed by the Antitrust). After adjusting for the above non-recurring events, EBITDA for 9M 2009 is down 5.7%.

Despite the numerous measures already adopted by the Government concerning this issue – which, after agreements between the Government and the European Commission, have each time appeared to resolve the issue definitively – the procedure has not yet been closed at the Community level. Acea has always maintained that it did not benefit from any tax incentives that might have distorted or hindered competition between 1996 and 1999, the period on which the dispute focusses. Moreover, in response to the Government's request, Acea has already repaid alleged State aid requested with the decisions of 2007 and 2009 in the total amount of €32.1 million. Acea made the repayments in the belief that the recovery measure issued last spring had been adopted following a new agreement between the Italian Government and the Commission and, therefore, the payment represented the definitive closure of the dispute.   Acea also emphasises that most net income was distributed in the form of dividends to the majority public shareholder (City of Rome), to which most of the alleged tax benefits have consequently been transferred. The additional recovery demanded under the “Community Obligations” Decree therefore duplicates what has already in effect been returned to the public administration. The Decree establishes that gains on extraordinary transactions shall not be considered in determining taxable income for the purposes of recovering State aid. ACEA has calculated that the impact of this rule amounts to about €90 million. In the interest of its shareholders and customers, the Company will appeal the new measure approved by the Government in all appropriate national and Community fora. http://www.acea.it/document.aspx/en/recovery_of_tax_moratorium_benefits/2009?lang=en Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:28:52 GMT 4f8a47bc87054ddfb7ce8b4c19f529f2 General Meeting of Acea's shareholders select three Directors: Luigi Pelaggi, Andrea Peruzy and Pierre Clavel Rome, 15 September 2009 – Acea SpA announces that the General Meeting of Shareholders held in Rome today has elected three Directors, Luigi Pelaggi, AndreaPeruzy and Pierre Clavel, previously co-opted on to the Board by the Companypursuant to art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code. 2009-10-22T10:08:00.0630000+02:00 Rome, 15 September 2009 – Acea SpA announces that the General Meeting ofShareholders held in Rome today has elected three Directors, Luigi Pelaggi, Andrea Peruzy and Pierre Clavel, previously co-opted on to the Board by the Company pursuant to art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code.
