Press Release
Rome, 3 December 2021 – The General Meeting of Atlantia S.p.A.'s shareholders, chaired by Fabio Cerchiai, was held today in ordinary and extraordinary session. In compliance with the legislation introduced in order to contain the spread of Covid-19, shareholders' attendance took place solely through the Appointed Representative.
The General Meeting of shareholders approved the buy-back plan, designed to provide a special and additional remuneration to shareholders in addition to the distribution of dividends, with the favourable vote of 99,29 % of the issued capital represented at the General Meeting. The Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to purchase – within the next 18 months – up to 125,000,000 treasury shares with a maximum value of up to approximately €2bn.
Pursuant to the Italian and European legislation and regulations from time to time in force, purchases may take place as follows: i) via a public tender offer; and/or ii) in regulated markets or multilateral trading systems at a price to be fixed by the Board of Directors at the time of each transaction, based on the chosen purchase procedure.
In particular: i) in the case of purchases via a public tender offer, the consideration must not be less than 20% below or more than 20% above the average official price of the Company's

It should also be noted that the resolution granting the authority was approved by the majorities indicated in paragraph 2 of art. 44bis of the Regulations for Issuers N. 11971/1999, and subsequent amendments.
Consistent with the purposes of the buy-back plan, the extraordinary session of the General Meeting also approved the cancellation of all or a part of the ordinary shares that Atlantia may purchase under the above buy-back plan.
The above is without prejudice for the treasury shares currently held by the Company (totalling 6,959,693), under the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting of 18 April 2019.
This resolution was approved by the favourable vote of 99,58 % of the issued capital represented at the General Meeting.
The General Meeting thus authorised the Board of Directors, approving the resulting amendment to art. 6 of the Articles of Association:
The cancellation of the shares will not result in a reduction of the issued capital, given that the Company's shares are without par value.
In keeping with the ongoing process of improving the Company's corporate governance system, the extraordinary session of the General Meeting has also approved a number of amendments to the Articles of Association, regarding:
In this regard, the ordinary session of the General Meeting has also approved a number of amendments to the General Meeting Regulations with the aim of bringing them into line with how General Meetings are actually conducted in the light of the Company's experience (with the favourable vote of 100% of the issued capital represented at the General Meeting).
