Summary

The following summary has been extracted without material adjustment from, and is qualified in
its entirety by, the more detailed information included elsewhere in this Listing Memorandum
with which it should be read in conjunction. Spanish law and regulations may differ from laws
and regulations in other jurisdictions, and investors should therefore not assume that the
Preferred Securities have the same features as preference shares or other similar instruments in
any other jurisdiction.

Issuer:



Unión Fenosa Preferentes, S.A. (Sociedad Unipersonal)

Guarantor:


Unión Fenosa, S.A.

Issue size: Euro
750,000,000.

Issue details:
Series 1 Euro 750,000,000 Non-Cumulative Perpetual Non-
voting Floating Rate Guaranteed Preferred Securities
(Participaciones Preferentes) (the ``Preferred Securities''),
each with an initial liquidation preference of Euro 50,000.


Liquidation Preference:
Initially Euro 50,000 per Preferred Security. This amount may
be increased by a non-cash distribution payment.

Use of Proceeds:
The proceeds of the issue of the Preferred Securities, after
have paid all issue expenses, are, in accordance with Law 13/
1985 of 25th May on investment ratios, capital adequacy and
information requirements for financial intermediaries (Ley
13/1985, de 25 de mayo, de coeficientes de inversión, recursos
propios y obligaciones de información de los intermediarios
financieros) as amended ("Law 13/1985") deposited on a
permanent basis with the Guarantor in a subordinated irregular
deposit that will be used for the Group's general corporate
purposes and that will allow the Issuer to fulfil its payments
obligations in relation to the issuance of the Preferred
Securities.


The funds raised from the issue of the Preferred Securities and
so deposited will be available to absorb losses of Unión Fenosa,
S.A. or its Group if and when they occur once there is a
reduction in the shareholder's equity to zero and its reserves
have been exhausted.

Distributions:
The Preferred Securities entitle holders to receive non-
cumulative cash or non-cash distributions (the "Distributions"),
as the case may be, from the Closing Date subject to the
limitations on distributions described under "Limitations on
Distributions".

Cash Distribution:
Distributions accrue from the Closing Date and are payable
quarterly in arrears in respect of the period from the Closing
Date until the date falling ten years thereafter at a variable
interest rate of three month EURIBOR plus a margin of 0,65%
(the "Initial Floating Rate"), subject to the limitations on
distributions described below, out of the Issuer's own legally
available resources and distributable items.

Thereafter, Distributions will be payable quarterly in arrears at a
variable interest rate of three month EURIBOR plus a margin of
1,65% (the "Final Floating Rate"), subject to the limitations on
distributions described below, out of the Issuer's own legally
available resources and distributable items.

Non-Cash Distribution:
If Distributable Profits (as defined on page 13) exist and the
Guarantor does not pay dividends to its ordinary shareholders
and/or does not pay any remuneration against reserves to any
holder of any securities ranking junior to the Preferred
Securities, then the Issuer may, but is not obliged to, pay a non-
cash distribution (the "Non-Cash Distribution") by increasing
the nominal value of the Preferred Securities instead of paying
the Cash Distribution as long as, (i) the Guarantee extends to
the increased amount on the same terms and conditions as the
previous amount and (ii) the Issuer and the Guarantor have all
the necessary corporate authorizations. The amount of such
increase will be equal to the Initial Floating Rate or the Final
Floating Rate, as applicable, over the Liquidation Preference
that the Preferred Securities may have at the time of the
increase. When according to the applicable laws or regulations,
wittholding for or on account of any present or future taxes
imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain
must be made on the Non Cash Distributions (exclusively), the
Issuer or (as the case may be) the Guarantor shall deliver to the
Spanish Tax authorities on behalf of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities an amount equal to the applicable
withholding in such way that the Holders of the Preferred
Securites will receive the Non Cash Distributions as would have
been received by them if no such withholding had been
required.

Limitations on Distributions: Distributions shall be payable to the extent that the aggregate of
such Distributions and any other distributions previously paid
during the then-current Fiscal Year (as defined on page 14),
together with any other distributions proposed to be paid during
the then-current Distribution Period, in each case in respect of
Senior Parity Securities (as defined on page 15) and Parity
Securities (as defined on page 15) including the Preferred
Securities do not exceed the Distributable Profits from the
previous Fiscal Year.


If Distributable Profits obtained in a Fiscal Year are insufficient
to pay the entire amount of the Distributions, the payment
procedure will be as follows:

Firstly, distributions relating to any Senior Parity Securities
issued by any Subsidiary. Secondly, any remaining amount
shall be paid pro rata among any Parity Securities including the
Preferred Securities. The amounts not paid on the Preferred
Securities will be non-cumulative.

Non-payment of
Distributions:
If Distributions are not paid or are only partially paid on or prior
to a Distribution Payment Date (as defined on page 13) as a





7



consequence of the above Limitations on Distributions, the
rights of the holders of the Preferred Securities to receive such
Distributions from the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may
be, in respect of the relevant Distribution Period will be
extinguished. In this regard, once the consolidated profit and
loss account of the Group and the profit and loss account of the
Guarantor, as the case may be, for the prior Fiscal Year has
been audited, the Guarantor will calculate an estimate of the
total amount that should be paid as Distribution to the Preferred
Securities together with any other distributions that should be
paid to the Senior Parity Securities and to any Parity Securities
from the approval of such profit and loss account until the
approval of the consolidated profit and loss account of the
Group and the profit and loss account of the Guarantor, as the
case may be, for the then current Fiscal Year.

If the estimated amount of such distributions exceeds the
Distributable Profits of the prior Fiscal Year, the Board of
Directors of the Guarantor shall not propose to the General
Shareholders' Meeting the approval and payment of, and the
Issuer shall not pay, dividends on their ordinary shares or on
any other class of shares capital or securities that rank junior to
the Preferred Securities as to participations in profits and assets
of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, until the
approval, by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the
Guarantor, of the consolidated profit and loss account of the
Group or the profit and loss account of the Guarantor, as the
case may be, for a subsequent Fiscal Year where enough
Distribuible Profits to pay the Distribution to the Preferred
Securities together with any other distributions that should be
paid to the Senior Parity Securities and to any Parity Securities
exists.



Notwithstanding the above, the Guarantor and/or the Issuer may
approve any distributions in the form of the shares of the Issuer
or shares of the Guarantor or other class of shares of the
Guarantor or the Issuer ranking junior to the Preferred
Securities or to the obligations of the Guarantor under the
Guarantee, as the case may be.

Guarantee:
The payment of Distributions, the Liquidation Distribution (as
defined below) and the Redemption Price (as defined in page
15), are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by the
Guarantor, subject in the case of Distributions, to the
Limitations on Distributions described above. In addition, the
Guarantee is subject to the limitations described under
"Liquidation Rights" below.

For a full description of the Guarantee, see ``The Guarantee''
on pages 28 to 36.

Ranking of the Guarantee: The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee rank (a)
junior to all liabilities of the Guarantor (including subordinated
liabilities and the Senior Parity Securities); (b) pari passu with
any Parity Securities issued by the Guarantor and any
obligations assumed by the Guarantor under any guarantee in





8



favour of holders of any Parity Securities issued by any
Subsidiary; and (c) senior to the Guarantor's ordinary shares.

Ranking of the Preferred
Securities:
The Preferred Securities rank (a) junior to all liabilities of the
Issuer including subordinated liabilities, (b) pari passu with
each other and with any Parity Securities of the Issuer and (c)
senior to the Issuer's ordinary shares.

Maturity: Perpetual


Optional Redemption:

Notwithstanding the perpetual nature of the Preferred
Securities, they may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, in
whole or in part, at the Redemption Price per Preferred Security
on any Distribution Payment Date falling on or after 30 June
2015.


The Preferred Securities do not grant their holders pre-emption
rights over such shares, preferred securities or any other
securities.

Liquidation Distribution: The Liquidation Distribution payable in relation to each
Preferred Security shall be its Liquidation Preference per
Preferred Security plus, if applicable, an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current
Distribution Period to the date of payment of the Liquidation
Distribution.

Liquidation Rights:
Except as described under ``Conditions of the Preferred
Securities ­ Distributions'' on pages 15 to 20, the Preferred
Securities confer no right to participate in the profits or surplus
assets of the Issuer.

Even if the Issuer has sufficient assets to pay the Liquidation
Distribution to the holders of the Preferred Securities, the rights
of such holders shall be affected by the existence of (i) a
process of liquidation or voluntary or involuntary dissolution of
the Guarantor; (ii) a reduction of capital of the Guarantor
according to article 169 of the Spanish Corporations Law, and,
(iii) a reduction of capital of the Guarantor to compensate losses
or to endow the legal reserve according to article 168 of the
Spanish Corporations Law.

In such circumstances, the Liquidation Distribution will be
distributed as follows:

- If at the time of the Liquidation Distribution, liquidation,
voluntary or involuntary dissolution procedures of the
Guarantor have already been commenced, the amount of the
Liquidation Distribution will be calculated by adding
together the following liquidation distributions:

i) those corresponding to the Preferred Securities;






9



ii) those corresponding to those preferred securities
issued by a Subsidiary of the Guarantor that rank pari
passu with the Preferred Securities, and

iii) those corresponding to Parity Securities of the
Guarantor.

- The aggregate of the liquidation distribution to be paid to
holders of the Preferred Securities and any preferred
securities of any Subsidiary ranking pari passu with the
Preferred Securities and Parity Securities of the Guarantor
will not exceed the liquidation distribution that would have
been paid by the Guarantor if all such securities i) had been
issued by the Guarantor and ii) had ranked in the following
order:

i) senior to the ordinary shares of the Guarantor,

ii) pari passu with Parity Securities (if any) of the
Guarantor, and

iii) junior to Senior Parity Securities and all liabilities of
the Guarantor,

after payment in full in accordance with Spanish law of all
creditors of the Guarantor, including holders of subordinated
debt, but excluding holders of any guarantee of any contractual
right expressed to rank pari passu with or junior to the
obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee.

If proceedings for the liquidation or dissolution of the
Guarantor are commenced, the Issuer shall be liquidated by the
Guarantor and holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to
receive only the Liquidation Distribution in respect of each
Preferred Security held by them and subject to the limitations
described above.

Except as described above, the Guarantor shall not liquidate or
procure a liquidation of the Issuer.


Pre-emptive rights:
The Preferred Securities do not grant their holders any pre-
emption rights in respect of any possible future issues of
preferred securities.

Voting Rights:
The Preferred Securities do not confer an entitlement to receive
notice of or attend or vote at any meeting of the shareholders of
the Issuer. Notwithstanding the above, the holders of the
Preferred Securities have the right, under certain circumstances,
to participate in the adoption of certain decisions in the
Preferred Securities General Assembly. See ``Conditions of the
Preferred Securities ­ Exercise of rights by holders of Preferred
Securities'' on page 22.

Withholding Tax:
Save as set out below, all payments of Distributions and other
amounts in respect of the Preferred Securities and payments
