Proposal to amend Articles 9 (Shareholders' Meetings) and 16 (Board of Directors' Powers and legal representation) of the By-Laws. Resolutions thereon.
You have been called in extraordinary session to consider the proposal to amend Articles 9 (Shareholders' Meetings) and 16 (Board of Directors' Powers and legal representation) of the By-Laws.
The proposed amendment of Article 9 (Shareholders' Meetings) concerns the faculty, for the Board of Directors, to stipulate in the Call Notice that the Shareholders' Meetings may be carried out exclusively through the appointed representative, as established by Article 135-undecies.1 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998, introduced by Article 11 of Law No. 21 of March 5, 2024.
The proposed amendment of Article 16 (Board of Directors and legal representation) concerns the proposal of assignment to the Board of Directors of decisions concerning demergers (further to those regarding mergers previously assigned), in accordance with Articles 2505, 2505-bis, 2506-ter, final paragraph of the Civil code.
The proposed amendments are not among those which, under current regulations, entail the right of withdrawal to shareholders who do not participate in the relevant motion.
Shareholders' Meetings shall be called at the registered office or elsewhere, provided it is in Italy, in the cases and in the manner prescribed by law, and in any case the annual ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to approve the financial statements must be called within one hundred and twenty days of the close of the fiscal year, or - where the legal requirements are met - within one hundred and eighty days of that date. Without prejudice to the convening powers provided by specific legal provisions, the Shareholders' Meeting, as resolved by the Board of Directors, shall be called by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors or another Board member delegated for this purpose, or by the Board itself. The call notice, containing the indications provided by the applicable laws and regulations, must be published within the terms and in the manner provided by the applicable regulations.
Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings are normally held following multiple calls.
Where it deems it appropriate, the Board of Directors may establish that both the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings shall be held following a single call, indicating this in the call notice. In the event of a single convocation, the majorities for this purpose prescribed by law shall apply.
