Right to attend The Shareholders' Meeting may be attended by shareholders who hold a minimum of 100 shares or those who, holding less than 100 shares, form a group and appoint a representative, provided that, at least five (5) days in advance (08/05/2015) of the date of the Shareholders' Meeting at first call, they accredit that they are registered with a member entity of the Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A.

Absent specific instructions, the vote shall be counted in favour of the proposals made by the Board of Directors.

For any matters relating to the Shareholders' Meeting that are not covered by this notice, shareholders may consult the Regulation of the Shareholders' Meeting and the instructions for participating in the meeting, which are available on the Company's website (www.gasnaturalfenosa.com). Shareholders are informed that the Shareholders' Meeting will foreseeably take place at first call. The minimum disclosures relating to the Spin-off plan are as follows: The parent company is GAS NATURAL SDG, S.A., domiciled in Barcelona, Plaza del Gas nº 1, with Tax ID number A-08015497. It is registered in the Barcelona Mercantile Register, in tome 22.147, folio 147, sheet B-33.172. The beneficiary company is GAS NATURAL FENOSA GENERACIÓN, S.L. Unipersonal, domiciled in Barcelona, Plaza del Gas 1, tax ID number B-86010766.It is registered in the Barcelona Mercantile Register, in tome 44.326, folio 186, section 8, sheet B-452.839. All of the asset and liabilities attached to the nuclear power generation business of the parent company are included in the scope of the spin-off, as are the appurtenant rights and obligations, administrative authorisations, and contractual and labour relations, which constitute an economic unit as defined in article 71 of the Structural Modifications Law (LME), and will be transferred en bloc and by universal succession to the Beneficiary company. There is no sweat equity or ancillary contributions in any of the companies participating in the operation and, as a result, it is not necessary to grant compensation for such items. No special rights will be granted in the Beneficiary company as a result of the spin-off, since there are no holders of special rights or shares other than capital shares. 9

The Beneficiary company will not grant advantages of any kind to the directors of any of the companies participating in the spin-off or to the independent experts participating in same. For accounting purposes, the date of the spin-off will be 1 January 2015. The Beneficiary company will maintain its current Articles of Association, amending article 5, as detailed below. The real value of the segregated equity was used for the purposes of valuing the assets and liabilities to be spun off. The assets and liabilities that will be spun off will be included in the beneficiary's equity at the value at which they were recognised in the consolidated financial statements of the group to which they belonged as of 31 December 2014, in accordance with the general accounting regulations in force. Under the provisions of Article 71 of the Structural Modifications Law, the parent company will not experience any reduction of share capital and will receive, in exchange for its spun-off assets and liabilities, shares resulting from the capital increase by the Beneficiary company, which is a Limited Liability Company that is wholly and directly owned by the parent company. The value of the spun-off assets and liabilities amounts to THREE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE EURO AND TWENTY-NINE CENT (361,698,153.29 euro). The Beneficiary company will increase its capital in the amount of FIFTY-ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE EURO (51,653,455 euro) by issuing a total of fifty-one million six hundred and fifty-three thousand four hundred and fifty-five shares, numbered 500,003,007 through 551,656,461, both inclusive, with a total share premium of 310,044,698.29 euro, i.e. 6.0024 euro per share. In accordance with the foregoing, GAS NATURAL SDG, S.A., as sole shareholder of the Beneficiary company, will receive new shares of GAS NATURAL FENOSA GENERACIÓN S.L.U., numbered 500,003,007 through 551,656,461, both inclusive, with a par value of 1 euro each, and a share premium of 6.0024 euro per share. As a result, the sole shareholder of the Beneficiary company must adopt the following resolution: Capital increase.- Increase capital, which is currently FIVE HUNDRED MILLION THREE THOUSAND AND SIX EURO (500,003,006 euro), to FIVE HUNDRED AND 10

FIFTY-ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY-ONE EURO (551,656,461 euro), i.e. by FIFTY-ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY- FIVE EURO (51,653,455 euro). As a result of the capital increase, article 5 of the Articles of Association will be amended to read as follows: "ARTICLE 5.- The share capital is 551,656,461.00 euro, represented by 551,656,461 shares with a par value of one euro each, all fully subscribed and paidup." At the time the spin-off instrument is executed, the identity and domicile of the holder of the new shares must have been registered in the register of shareholders of the Beneficiary company. The new shares will be entitled to share in income as from 1 January 2015. In accordance with the provisions of article 36 of the LME, the Spin-off balance sheets will be the balance sheets of GAS NATURAL SDG, S.A. and GAS NATURAL FENOSA GENERACIÓN, S.L.U. as of 31 December 2014, authorised by the Boards of Directors of the former and the latter on 30 January 2015. Those balance sheets will be used to establish the conditions under which the spin-off will be executed. Since the participating companies are required to have their financial statements audited, the spin-off balance sheets will be accompanied by the obligatory auditor's report. The spin-off balance sheets will be submitted for approval to the General Shareholders' Meeting of the parent company and the Sole Shareholder of the Beneficiary company, which shall deliberate and, if appropriate, approve the spin-off. The spin-off is not expected to have any effect on the workforce, since it is simply a case of company succession, as envisioned under article 44 of the Workers' Statute, and the Beneficiary of the spin-off will subrogate to all the labour rights and obligations of the employees of the parent company who are connected to the economic unit comprising the spun-off equity. The governing bodies of the participating companies will remain unchanged and, as a result, there will be no impact of any sort on them. There will also be no impact on the social responsibility of those companies. Article 76.3 of Law 27/2014, of 28 November, defines this operation as a nonmonetary contribution of a line of business and, consequently, in accordance with the provisions of article 89 of that same text, this operation will qualify for the special tax regime envisioned in Chapter VII of Title VII of Law 27/2014, of 28 November. 11

In accordance with the provisions of article 89.1 of Law 27/2014, that operation will be disclosed to the Tax Agency by the Acquiring company under the terms required by law. Barcelona, 27 March 2015. Chairman of the Board of Directors. Salvador Gabarró Serra. 12
