ENAV is the company that handles civilian air traffic in Italy, guaranteeing 24/7 safety and punctuality to about 1.8 million flights a year from its control towers and area control centres. With approximately 4,200 employees, the Company provides air navigation services to its customers, the airlines flying within the Italian airspace, and is established as one of the five largest industry operators in Europe in terms of operating performance and capacity for innovation.
ENAV is therefore a key operator in the international air traffic management system. It participates in research and development in coordination with national and international industry monitoring bodies and is one of the major players in the set-up of the Single European Sky, the programme aimed at harmonising the EU air traffic management, with the goal of enhancing safety and efficiency of air transportation.
ENAV pursues an ethical and socially responsible business model aimed at creating value for the Company and its stakeholders in the sustainable long-term and to such goal, also taking into account the social importance of the activities carried out by the Company, it orients its corporate governance system. This year, the Company drafted its first document on sustainability, making the most of the attention always paid to considerations for the social and environmental consequences of its activities. For more information, please refer to the Non-Financial Statement of ENAV and the ENAV Group, published on the website www.enav.it.
Starting from the first half of the year ended 31 December 2016, in view of the listing of the ENAV shares on the Mercato Telematico Azionario which took place on 26 July 2016, ENAV adopted procedures, policies, resolutions and took other required or recommended actions to transition its own corporate governance structure from its original form, which was typical of a fully state-owned company, to a structure that is compliant with the recommendations (principles, application criteria and comments) contained in the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies issued by Borsa Italiana, which the Company's Board of Directors resolved to adopt at its meeting of 17 February 2016 and the provisions (also of a regulatory nature) referring to listed companies, including in particular Legislative decree 58 of 24 February 1998 (hereinafter also the "Consolidated Law on Finance" or the "TUF") and the CONSOB resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 (hereinafter also the "Issuers' Regulation").
This Report illustrates ENAV's corporate governance system, which is composed of a series of bodies, principles, rules and procedures that comply with the principles set out in the Code of Conduct, with the recommendations formulated by CONSOB on this subject and, more generally, with the best practices internationally applied. ENAV's corporate governance system, also taking into account the social significance of the Company's operations, pursues the main objective of creating value for its shareholders over the medium-long term and adequately balancing and fostering all relevant interests1 .

ENAV's corporate governance system, also taking into account the social significance of the Company's operations, pursues the main objective of creating value for its shareholders over the medium-long term and adequately balancing and fostering all relevant interests. In accordance with the provisions of Italian legislation regarding listed companies, the corporate governance structure of ENAV is based on the traditional Italian model, which, save for the powers reserved to the Shareholders' Meeting by the law and by the Articles of Association, attributes to the Board of Directors the strategic and operational management of the Company and to the Board of Statutory Auditors the supervisory functions.
In accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has appointed a Chief Executive Officer, entrusted with all the powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, while reserving to its exclusive competence decisions on certain matters. The Chief Executive Officer is thus the Director primary responsible for the management of the Company, without prejudice to the powers and responsibilities reserved to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors at the meeting held on 4 May 2017 also granted the Chairman powers for supervision of internal auditing activities and, together with the Chief Executive Officer, the responsibility of managing national and international institutional relations. The Chairman, in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer, also handles external communication activities and relations with national and foreign media.
The model chosen therefore establishes the separation of the functions of the Chairman of the Board and of the Chief Executive Officer, while both have the power to represent the Company.
In accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has established two internal committees with advisory and proposal-making functions in respect of the Board: the Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, which report to the Board through their respective Chairmen.
At the meeting held on 4 May 2017, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Chief Executive Officer and acknowledging the favourable opinion expressed by the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association, also appointed the Financial Reporting Officer in charge for preparing the Company's financial statements.
The task of independent legal audit is carried out by the auditing company EY S.p.A., registered in the relevant register and appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, at the proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

As of the date of this Report, the subscribed and paid in share capital of ENAV is equal to €541,744,385.00 and consists of no. 541,744,385 ordinary shares without indication of the nominal value.
ENAV shares are non-divisible and every share confers one voting right. The shares are freely transferable.
ENAV has not issued other categories of shares or financial instruments that can be converted into or exchanged with shares.
For information on the structure of ENAV's share capital, please refer to the table in the Summary above.
As of the date of this Report, based on the Company's share ledger and the communications received pursuant to Article 120 of the TUF and other information that has been received, no entity, with the exception of the Ministry of economy and finance ("MEF"), which holds 53.28% of the share capital3 – holds more than 3% of ENAV's shares, whether directly or indirectly.
The following table shows ENAV's shareholders distribution by geographic region4 :
| Area/Region | percentage of share capital |
|---|---|
| Italy (MEF) | 53% |
| Italy (institutional + retail | |
| investors/employees) | 20% |
| United States + Canada | 8% |
| Australia | 5% |
| United Kingdom + Ireland | 4% |
| Rest of Europe + Switzerland | 6% |
| Rest of the world and undisclosed | 5% |
The Company has issued no shares that confer special rights.
Article 137 of the TUF provides that the Articles of association of a company with listed shares may include provisions aimed at facilitating voting by means of proxy issued by the shareholders who are employees.
With a view to facilitating the involvement of this category of shareholders in the decisions making processes of the shareholders' meeting, the Articles of Association provides that, to favour collection of proxies from the shareholders, employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, who are associated to shareholders' associations that fulfil the requirements set forth by the applicable laws, spaces to be used for the communication and the collection of the proxiesshall be provided to these

associations, according to the terms and procedures agreed from time to time with their legal representatives.
As of the date of this Report the Company has received no notification regarding the establishment of an association of such employees shareholders.
ENAV Articles of Association provides, as required by Article 3 of Legislative Decree 332 of 31 May 1994, converted with amendments into Law no. 474 of 30 July 1994, a limit to share ownership which results in an equity interest exceeding 5% of ENAV's share capital. This provision does not apply to the equity interest held by the MEF, by public entities or by entities controlled by the latter.
Such limitation does not prevent holding shares in an amount higher than the threshold indicated, but restricts the exercise of the administrative rights inherent in the shares held in excess of the maximum limit of 5%, which cannot be accordingly exercised.
Therefore, if the maximum limit of the shareholding is exceeded by several entities/individuals, the voting right that would accrue to each party that the shareholding limit with regard to the interest held applies to will be reduced proportionally, save for previous indications provided jointly by the interested parties.
In the event of non-compliance, the resulting resolution can be challenged pursuant to applicable law, if the required majority would not have been reached without the votes in excess of the maximum limit indicated above. Shares in respect of which the voting right cannot be exercised are nevertheless calculated for the purposes of the regular constitution of the Shareholders Meeting.
The aforementioned limit of 5% will lapse if it is exceeded as a result of a takeover bid provided that the offeror holds, as a result of the bid, an interest of at least 75% of the share capital with voting rights in connection with the resolutions referring to the appointment or revocation of the members of the Board of Directors or of the executive or supervisory body.
The Company is subject to Law Decree no. 21 of 15 March 2012, converted with amendments into Law 56 of 11 May 2012 ("Legislative Decree 21/2012"), concerning special powers of the State (the so-called golden powers) which refers to strategic assets in the (i) energy, transportation and communications and (ii) defence and national security sectors. In particular, the adoption of specific corporate resolutions by the Company or the purchase of specific significant equity interests in the share capital of ENAV could be limited by these special powers.
The aforementioned regulation gives the State the power of (a) vetoing the resolutions, acts and operations that - due to their resulting in amendment of the ownership, control or availability of the assets themselves or in the change in their application - give rise to an exceptional situation, which is not governed by national and European legislations, seriously threatening the public interests in the areas of safety and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supplies; b) conditioning the effectiveness of a purchase of any type - by a non-European Union entity - of interests of such significance as to result in the permanent establishment of the purchaser as a result of the interests that were acquired through acquisition of control of the company, pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 93 of the TUF, if this purchase seriously threatens the public interests in the areas of safety and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supplies, requiring that entity to make commitments ensuring the protection of these interests; and c) opposing an acquisition referred to under point (b) above, if it involves exceptional risks for the protection of the public interest and the operation of the networks and installations and the continuity of supplies, which cannot be eliminated even if the entity commits to ensuring the protection of such interests.
Moreover, ENAV holds certain assets which are strategic assets in the area of defence and national security and, therefore, is subject to Article 1 of Legislative Decree 21/2012 and the relevant implementing provisions.
This means that the State, if there is an actual threat of serious prejudice to the essential interests of national defence and security can (i) impose specific conditions relative to the security of the supplies, the security of the information, the technological transfers, the control of exports in the event of purchase, based on any rights, of equity investment in these companies; (ii) veto the adoption of resolutions by the Shareholders' Meeting or the boards of these companies, which refer to the merger or spin-off of the company, the transfer of the company or units thereof or of subsidiaries, the transfer of the registered office abroad, a change in the corporate purpose, the dissolution of the company, amendment of any statutory clauses adopted pursuant to Article 2351, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code, or introduced pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 332/1994, assignment of or usage of tangible or intangible fixed assets or the undertaking of restrictions that condition their use; and (iii) oppose the acquisition, based on any rights, of interests in such companies by an entity other than the Italian State, Italian public entities or entities controlled by the latter, if the purchaser will hold, directly or indirectly, including through subsequent acquisitions, through a third party or entities that are otherwise connected, a level of equity in the capital with voting rights able to specifically compromise national defence and security interests.
In consideration of the strategic nature and social significance of the activity conducted by ENAV, the Decree of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers issued on 10 June 2016, with which assent was expressed to the listing of ENAV shares on the MTA, required the Company to identify, prior to completion of the process, the governance instruments protecting the integrity of the information, with adoption of appropriate internal measures of an organisational nature setting forth the discipline regarding the confidentiality obligation, in order to safeguard access and confidentiality of the sensitive data in the interests of national security.

As of the date of this Report no shareholders' agreements pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF are in place.
Below is a description of the significant agreements entered into by ENAV or by the subsidiary companies, which become effective, are amended or expire in the event of a change of control of the contractor Company, with description of the related effects.
In October 2014, the EIB, European Investment bank (hereinafter the " Bank" or " EIB") granted a line of credit totalling €250 million to finance the development and execution of a series of investments connected to air traffic control services, of which €180 million will be contracted directly and €70 million will eventually be brokered through the banking system.
On 5 December 2014, a contract with the EIB was concluded for the amount of Euro 180 million, used in two subsequent tranches: the first, for an amount of €100 million, provides for a duration of 15 years (expiring on 19 December 2029), with a grace period of four years ; the second, amounting to €80 million, provides for a duration of 15 years (expiring on 12 December 2032), with no grace period.
On 12 October 2016, a direct contract was also concluded for the residual credit line of €70 million which, under the same conditions, is available until 1 October 2019, with a duration of the line of 16 years.
In both contracts with the EIB, the Company has committed to immediately informing the Bank in the event of an actual or imminent change of control which refers to the Company itself. At any time following a change of control, by means of a communication to the Company, the Bank may cancel the portion of the loan that has not been drawn and request early repayment of the amounts that have been drawn, together with the interest that has accrued and any other amount that has accrued or is due pursuant to the loan contract.
A change of control will take place in the cases below:
(i) an entity or group of entities, acting together, acquire control of the Company; or
(ii) the Italian State no longer controls the Company.
"Acting together" means acting in coordination to execute an agreement or understanding (whether official or not) and "control" means the power to define the management and policies of a Company, whether through the holding of capital with voting rights, through a contract, or otherwise.
In 2008, ENAV signed two contracts with UniCredit Corporate Banking S.p.A. (now UniCredit S.p.A.) pursuant to which loans of a maximum total amount of capital of €100 million and €40 million were granted. Both loans have a duration of 60 months (five years) from the date the relative contracts are concluded, with full repayment upon expiration ("bullet"), except if the Company exercises the option, contractually allowed, to extend the duration of the loans for an additional 60 months. On 30 June 2013, the Company exercised the above-mentioned extension option, extending the duration of the loans for an additional five years following which the €100 million loan will expire on 30 June 2018 and the €40 million loan will expire on 30 November 2018.
The aforementioned contracts provide for early repayment of loans in the event of a change of control, resulting from a decrease in the direct or indirect participation of the MEF in the Company with loss of control of the voting right in ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings and, in any case, the loss of control over the Company by the MEF.
In May 2013, ENAV signed a loan with Banca del Mezzogiorno - Medio Credito Centrale S.p.A. for an amount of €10 million with expiration on 31 May 2018. The loan contract provides that the Company will repay the loan in five years, of which the first two years are the pre-amortisation period. Therefore, the loan will be repaid in six consecutive monthly instalments, payable without interruption pursuant to the repayment plan. The loan contract also provides that until total extinguishment of all the credit related commitments to the lending bank relative to the loan, the Company shall be required to provide the bank with the information and documentation required for or useful to the monitoring of the evolution of ENAV's corporate status, including information on any changes to the shareholding structure.
In August 2015, ENAV issued a senior unsecured bond reserved to institutional investors for a total of €180 million (the "Bond Issue"). The Bond Issue was placed through a private placement and the bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Bond Issue was placed at an issue price equal to 100% of the nominal value of the bonds and provides for full repayment of the capital on 4 August 2022.
Settlement of the Bond Issue also provides the holders of the loan the option of requesting early repayment of the bonds at 101% of their nominal value and payment of unpaid interest accrued in the event of a change of control, i.e. the case in which an entity other than the Italian State, its Ministries (including the MEF) or entities or companies which are directly or indirectly controlled by it and its Ministries, holds control of the Company.
"Control" means:
In December 2016, ENAV signed a loan contract with BNL-BNP Paribas Group (the " Bank") for €70 million, beginning 1 January 2017 and with a duration of 18 months minus 1 day (renewable for the same period of time) that can be used by the borrower ENAV on a rotating basis.
Among other things the contract provides that in the event an entity or group of entities other than a qualified shareholder obtains control of the Company (hereinafter Change of Control), the Company shall immediately inform the Bank.
In relation to the Company, a qualified shareholder is the MEF.
If within 20 days from the communication, the Bank reasonably believes that such Change of Control could have a substantially harmful effect, it will immediately inform the Company, which shall immediately proceed to repay the entire amount of the loan outstanding within 30 days.
The Articles of Association do not provide for derogations from the passivity rule pursuant to Article 104, paragraphs 1 and 1-bis of the TUF and do not provide for application of the neutralisation rules under Article 104-bis, paragraph 2 and 3, of the TUF.

Each shareholder may submit and participate in the submission of only one slate. Controlling parties, subsidiaries and companies subject to joint control are not entitled to submit slates or contribute to submitting other slates or vote for them, including through an intermediary or a trust company, where subsidiaries are the companies indicated pursuant to Article 93 of TUF as applicable from time to time or as eventually replaced. Each candidate may be included in one slate only, under penalty of inegibility. The curriculum vitae of each candidate must be submitted together with each slate upon penalty of inadmissibility as must the declarations with which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their own responsibility, that there are no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, while they possessthe requirements of integrity, professionalism and eventually independence as prescribed by the applicable laws for their respective offices. The Directors who are appointed must immediately inform the Board of Directors if they no longer meet any of the requirements indicated, as well as of the occurrence of any causes for ineligibility or incompatibility. Each person entitled to vote shall vote for only one slate.
If during the course of the year, one or more directors cease to hold office, the provisions set forth under Article 2386 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code shall apply. If one or more of the departing Directors was taken from a slate containing names of candidates that were not elected, replacement will take place with the appointment, in progressive order of persons from the slate the departing director was listed on, provided that they are still eligible and willing to accept the office. In any case, the Directors no longer in office will be replaced by the Board of Directors in such a manner as to ensure the presence of the necessary number of Directors that possess the requirements of independence and ensuring compliance with the applicable laws on gender balance. If the majority of directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting ceases to hold office, the entire Board of Directors will be deemed to have resigned and a shareholders' meeting will have to be called immediately by the directors still in office in order to reconstitute the Board.
Directors must fulfil the requirements of integrity and professionalism set by the law, by the applicable regulations and by the Articles of Association.
In particular, pursuant to Article 11-bis.1 of the Articles of Association:
a) activities involving administration or control or management within companies,
b) professional activities or the teaching of legal, economic, financial or technical -scientific subjects at university level, or other subjects that are relevant or in any case functional to the operations of the Company or
Any directors who during the course of their office should receive a notification of an order committing them to trial or immediate proceedings for any of the crimes set forth under the paragraphs above, letters a), b), c) and d), or of a final judgment ascertaining the wilful commission of an offence to the detriment of the Treasury shall immediately inform the administrative body, which shall be required to maintain confidentiality. In its first meeting, thereafter or, in any case, within the ten days subsequent to being informed of the issuing of the rulings under the third sentence above, the Board of Directors shall verify the existence of any of the assumptions indicated.
If the verification is positive, the director is removed from office for just cause, without being entitled to compensation for damages except if the board of directors, within the above-mentioned ten days, convenes a shareholders' meeting, to be held within the subsequent sixty days, in order to submit to such meeting a proposal that the director be maintained in office, supporting such proposal on the basis that maintaining such director in office is in the overriding interest of the Company. If verification by the Board of Directors is carried out after the end of the financial year, then the proposal shall be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the relative financial statements, subject to compliance with the terms set forth in the applicable laws.
If the Shareholders' Meeting does not approve the proposal made by the Board of Directors, the director will forfeit his or her office with immediate effect for just cause, without being entitled to compensation for damages.
Without prejudice to the above, a chief executive officer who is subject to: (a) incarceration or (b) pre-trial detention or house arrest, upon outcome of the procedure envisaged under Article 309 or Article 311, paragraph 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, or after the relative terms of establishment, shall fall from office for just cause, with no entitlement to compensation for damages, and with concurrent termination of all powers conferred upon him or her. Similarly, the Chief Executive Officer shall fall from office if he or she is subject to any other type of non-appealable personal pre-trial measure of restriction, if such measure is considered by the board of directors such as to render the execution of the powers conferred impossible.
For the purposes of the application of the aforementioned provisions of the Articles of Association, the plea agreement entered into pursuant to Article 444 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is deemed equivalent to a conviction, unless the offence is extinguished.
Therefore, the Board of Directors will ascertain the existence of the situations provided herein, with reference to the cases which are regulated in whole or in part by foreign jurisdiction, based on an evaluation of essential equivalence.
On 27 February 2018 the Company's Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the RN Committee and continuing the resolution adopted by the administrative body pro tempore on 21 June 2016, resolved not to adopt a succession plan for executive Directors due to reasons inherent in the shareholding structure and because, pursuant to law and to the Articles of Association, directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates presented by the shareholders.
On the same date, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, resolved to adopt a policy (the "Contingency Plan") aimed at regulating the steps to be undertaken in case of the Chief Executive Officer's early termination from office before the ordinary expiry of the mandate, or in the event of unforeseen and unforeseeable events that prevent the Chief Executive Officer – who is the sole executive Director of ENAV – to carry out its duties in order to ensure the continuity in the regular management and operations of the Company, pending appointment of a new chief executive officer.
Directors of ENAV accept the appointment and remain in office when they believe they can dedicate the necessary time to diligently perform their tasks, taking into account both their commitment associated with the work-related and professional activities and the number and quality of duties vested in the administrative and control bodies of listed companies and companies that operate in the financial, banking and insurance sectors or in companies of significant size.
To this end, on 1 March 2017, upon the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, the Board of Directors pro tempore approved a policy specifying the maximum number of offices of director or statutory auditor considered to be compatible with efficient and diligent performance of the office of director within this Company.
Following the indications provided by the Corporate Governance Code, this policy considers as significant to this end only the offices held in administration and control bodies of the following types of companies ("Significant Companies"):
In compliance with the recommendation set forth in the Corporate Governance Code, the overboarding policy adopted by the Board of Directors identifies the limits in offices that can be held at the same time (which can be measured through a system of specific "weightings" for each type of office), diversified depending on (i) the commitment connected to the role covered by each interested party whether on the Board of Directors of ENAV or the administration and control bodies of Significant Companies, and (ii) the nature of the companies at which the other offices are held, excluding from this calculation offices held in subsidiaries which are directly and/or indirectly connected to ENAV.
In line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, it is expressly provided that the Chief Executive Officer of ENAV shall not hold the post of Director of another issuer not belonging to the same group, whose chief executive officer is a Director of ENAV.
The Board of Directors of ENAV may agree reasoned exemptions to the above-mentioned limits, also based on the characteristics and complexity of the post.
As of the date of this Report, based on communications provided by the Directors of the Company, the number of offices currently held by the Directors of ENAV in administration and control bodies of Significant Companies is compatible with the limits set by this policy.
In addition to the general legislative obligation of directors to conduct themselves diligently according to the requirements of the nature of their office and to their specific skills, The Corporate Governance Code also recommends that they must be aware of the duties and responsibilities inherent in their office.
With the aim of strengthening the level of skill and professionalism of the members of the administration and control bodies, the application criteria 2.C.2 of the Corporate Governance Code provides that "the chairman of the Board of Directors shall ensure that, following their appointment and for the duration of their office, the directors and statutory auditors are able to participate in the most appropriate ways, in initiatives aimed at providing them with adequate knowledge regarding the sector in which the issuer operates, the corporate dynamics and how these evolve, the principles of correct risk management and the regulatory and self-regulatory frame of reference."
The competence of directors, building on their professional profile, requires care and constant updating in relation to developments in the broad framework of the business activity, not only under the business profile, but also with regard to developments in the related legislative, regulatory and corporate governance framework5 .
During the year of reference, on 1 March 2017, the corporate bodies participated in an induction session relative to operating business profiles, including a course held at the business unit ACC (Area Control Center) of Roma Ciampino.
On 29 May 2017 and 5 July 2017 respectively, specific training sessions were held, with the support of the relevant Company departments, on the operational and industrial profiles of ENAV business aimed at promoting alignment of the Board members' responsibilities with the specific requirements of the Company.
On 9 July 2017, the Board of Directors decided to assign the consultant Spencer Stuart the task of supporting activities of Board Evaluation and Induction concerning issues of corporate governance.
On 29 September 2017 a specific updating session was held in connection with Leg. Decree 231/2001 and on 23 and 24 November 2017 further initiative of induction were held, including the on-site visit of the new Board of Directors to the above mentioned business unit ACC in Rome Ciampino and to the ENAV premises at Fiumicino Airport, during which training was delivered on corporate governance, the role of advisers and Board dynamics, as well as – for operating profiles - concerning cyber security, air traffic control systems, meteorology and innovation . On 2 February 2018, an informal session was also held devoted to issues of board evaluation and corporate governance, with the participation of the consultant Spencer Stuart.
The Company also facilitated participation of members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors in training and induction initiatives referring to governance issues in listed companies organised by major institutions and associations.
Pursuant to Article 17.1 of the Articles of Association, the management of the Company is exclusively attributed to the Directors who shall carry out the operations required for implementation of the corporate objective.
5See 2017 Report on the evolution of corporate governance in listed companies – the Corporate Governance Committee.
The Board of Directors has a central role in the governance of the Company, and holds, as further illustrated below, powers to define the corporate guidelines and strategies, the general organisational structure of the Company and strategic agreements beyond normal operations.
The Articles of Association provide that, in addition to exercising the powers attributed to it by the law, the Board of Directors resolves on the following issues, without prejudice to the possibility to submit such resolutions to the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting:
In addition to the duties attributed pursuant to the law and the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has the exclusive competence in relation to the most significant strategic, economic and financial transactions of the Company and the Group. On 4 May 2017, the Board of Directors resolved to reserve to the Board itself every decision involving:
On the same date, the Board also resolved to confer upon the Chief Executive Officer a detailed set of powers, setting forth the categories of acts and transactions and the value thresholds thereto.
The Board of Directors also oversees internal control activities.
Having regard to the reserve of board competence concerning transactions of strategic significance, in application of criterion 1.C.1, lett. (f) of the Corporate Governance Code, on 9 August 2017 the Board of Directors approved the "Procedural guidelines for managing Significant Transactions" thus delimiting the perimeter of these transactions of significant strategic importance ("Significant Transactions") and identifying procedural guidelines for examining and approving such transactions.
Significant Transactions are therefore to be considered:
With reference to the frequency of the meeting of the Board of Directors, such organ usually meets once per month and in any case whenever the Chairman considers it appropriate or if requested by the Chief Executive Officer or at least one third of its members or the Board of Statutory Auditors. The call of the meeting, to be sent at least five days before the date set for the meeting, or, in urgent situations, at least 24 hours beforehand, to the domicile of each Director and Statutory Auditor, is made by registered letter or telegram or telefax or email or any other appropriate means that provides proof of receipt, and shall contain the date, time and place of the meeting and the agenda thereof.
The supporting information is provided in a timely manner and contain all documentation required to render the Directors fully aware of all the issues submitted to their attention. Ordinarily the convocation, always timely pursuant to the Articles of Association, contains all the documentation required, except for rare exceptions due to the need to supplement such documentation, which are clearly indicated within the notice of call.
During 2017, the meeting supporting information was always sent in a timely manner within the terms provided for.
The Chairman ensures that further in-depth analysis are performed during the Board meetings regarding the issues on the agenda.
During 2017, the Board of Directors met 15 times, and the average duration of the meetings was approximately 3 hours and 17 minutes, with attendance of 100% of the members of the Board of Directors, thereby including 100% of the independent Directors present. For additional information regarding the attendance of members at the Board of Directors meetings, please see table 2 to attached to the Report.

In accordance with Article 18.7 of the Articles of Association, the General Manager participates in an advisory capacity at meetings of the Board of Directors.
Meetings of the Board of Directors have also been attended by the managers of the relevant Company departments in accordance with the issues on the agenda, which supported the Chief Executive Officer in providing further in-depth information on the items being discussed.
With reference to the Financial Year, in the period from 1 January 2017 until 28 April 2017, the Board of Directors:
Following the 2017 Shareholders' Meeting and up to 31 December 2017, the newly appointed Board of Directors:
With regard to the first months of 2018, the Board of Directors, among other things:
assessed the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting procedures, the internal control system and the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control and risk management;
approved, after having obtained the opinion of the CRPC Committee and having heard the Board of Statutory Auditors, the updating of the guidelines for the SCIGR;
With reference to the year 2018, the Board of Directors has planned 12 meetings, of which 3 have been held at the date of this Report; the Board also scheduled 4 induction sessions, of which 1 was held on 2 February 2018.
Since the beginning of its mandate, the Board of Directors has initiated a structured board evaluation process, entrusting the related support activities for the duration of the mandate to the independent advisor Spencer Stuart, which during 2017 has not performed other tasks for ENAV.
In line with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, and with the aforementioned advisor's coordination, the Board of Directors performed the self-assessment of the same and of its committees in relation to the financial year 2017. The Board Evaluation was conducted through questionnaires and direct interviews with the Directors about the effectiveness, size, composition and functioning of the Board. In addition to the Directors, interviews were also conducted with the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Secretary of the Board of Directors and certain managers that have relationships with the Board, by virtue of the functions covered.
For the purposes of assessing the Board of Directors an analysis of best practices and a comparison with the practices adopted by ENAV's Board was also conducted, including by using the "Boardroom Best Practice" tool of the advisor Spencer Stuart. For this purpose, the corporate documentation has been made available which in particular refers to the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Board committees, so as to assess interactions amongst the Directors, their interventions in the meetings, the topics discussed and their frequency on the agenda. To the same end, the advisor's representatives participated in the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 13 November 2017.
The outcome of such process has been discussed in the context of the induction event on 2 February 2018, where the Board also examined the recommendations contained in the letter dated 13 December 2017 from the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana to the management and control bodies of Italian issuers.
At its next meeting on 27 February 2018, the Board of Directors performed their self-assessment, recognizing the strengths of the group as a council in addition to identifying certain areas for improvement that will form the basis for assessing progress made during the next board evaluation. The three-year Board Evaluation process with the advisor's support will continue with the Peer-to-Peer review for aimed at analysing the contribution of each Director to the work of the Board and at providing constructive individual feedback.
The Board of Directors is in the first year of a three-year term and is largely new with respect to the administrative body in charge during the previous three years. In this first phase of its term, the Board, in addition to performing its duties, has thus been working to acquire a uniform knowledge of the Company's business, organisation, managers and processes; also, it is gradually fine-tuning the internal dynamics among the Directors and as a council. Overall, the Directors have expressed appreciation for the Board's methods of functioning, its size and composition. Specifically, the strengths identified include: the role performed in determining the risk appetite of the business and in defining the guidelines for the internal control and risk management system; completeness and comprehensiveness of the information received on the management and on business performance; the clarity of the meetings' agendas; the safeguarding of confidentiality of the information received by virtue of the office; the support received by the Secretary of the Board and the timeliness with which documents are transmitted with respect to the items on the meetings' agenda; the authoritative and effective role performed by the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer's ability to effectively convey and explain the items on the agenda and to respond fully to questions from the Board members.
The assessment also highlighted some areas for improvement, including: the need to follow up with the organization of induction sessions, to further strengthen knowledge of the business and of the Company and to organise informal meetings to foster synergies amongst the Directors; the reporting of committees to the Board, which could be even more effective, and the pursuit of a more consistent involvement of the Company departments by the Committees; the Board also shared the opportunity to start a process aimed at adopting the resolutions relating to succession of the executive director in instances of emergency, for which see section 3.4 of this Report.
During the year 2017, up to the date of the 2017 Shareholders' Meeting, the position of Chairman of ENAV's Board of Directors was held by Ferdinando Franco Falco Beccalli. The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting appointed Roberto Scaramella as Chairman of the Board of Directors of ENAV.
The Chairman calls meetings of the Board of Directors, sets the agenda thereto, coordinates the work and provides the Directors and Statutory Auditors with all information regarding the matters to be discussed.
He also holds a role of impulse and supervision of the operation of the Board of Directors.
In addition to the powers provided for by the law and by the Articles of Association as to the operation of corporate bodies and the legal representation of the Company, on 4 May 2017 the Board of Directors resolved to attribute to the Chairman the following powers:
The Chairman of the Board of Directors in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer also handles the communications activities of the Company and its relations with the media, both domestic and foreign.
As the Chairman of the Board has received no management mandate and has no specific role in the definition of the corporate strategies (Application Criterion 2.C.1 of the Corporate Governace Code), the Chairman is considered to be a non-executive director.
At its meeting on 4 May 2017, the Board of Directors newly appointed by the 2017 Shareholders' Meeting appointed as ENAV's Chief Executive Officer Roberta Neri, who had held the same position on the previous Board also.
Pursuant to Article 2381, paragraph 5 of Italian Civil Code and to Article 18, paragraph 5 of the Articles of Association, the Chief Executive Officer ensures that the organisational and accounting structure is adequate for the nature and size of the Company.
In the same meeting on 4 May 2017, the Board of Directors also conferred upon the Chief Executive Officer all the powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, including the legal representation and single signature before any judicial and administrative authorities as well as attributing the functions and the powers that are not otherwise reserved by law, by the Articles of Association or otherwise reserved to the Board of Directors or conferred to the President, as illustrated, respectively, in preceding paragraphs 3.7 and 3.9.
The Chief Executive Officer has also been appointed as Director in Charge of the System of Internal Control and Risk Management.
The situation qualified asinterlocking directorate envisaged under Application Criterion 2.C.5. of the Corporate Governance Code does not apply with respect to the Chief Executive Officer.
In order to keep the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors constantly updated, the Chief Executive Officer also informs the same, promptly and in any case at least quarterly, about the activities carried out, on the general course of operations of the Company and their foreseeable development, and on the main economic, financial and equity operations carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries. The information is provided on the occasion of the meetings of the Board of Directors or through a written memorandum.
Pursuant to Application Criterion 1.C.1 (d) of the Corporate Governance Code, the Chief Executive Officer informs the Board of Directors, at least quarterly, regarding the activities carried out in execution of the powers conferred.
The Board is composed mostly of non-executive members. Non-executive Directors contribute their specific professional skills and experience to the Board discussions, taking particular care that the decisions of the Board are adequately reasoned upon and motivated, in particular in relation to areas in which conflicts of interests could arise.
The number of non-executive Directors, their skills and commitment in terms of availability are such as to ensure that their judgement has a significant weight in the decisions made by the Board.
As of the date of this Report, 5 ENAV Directors out of 9 are independent both within the meaning of the TUF and of the Corporate Governance Code.
Specifically, the Board of Directors, at its meeting on 4 May 2017, assessed the possession of the requirements provided for under Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF for the Chairman of the Board of Directors, as well as those under Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF and under Principle 3 of the Corporate Governance Code for Directors Giuseppe Acierno, Nicola Maione, Fabiola Mascardi, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has verified the correct application of the criteria and assessment procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to evaluate the independence of its members.
The independent Directors met in the absence of the other Directors and were able to proceed to an exchange of views about the functioning of the Board of Directors, the issues of greatest interest for the attention of the Board of Directors and further induction initiatives considered useful.
ENAV has not appointed a lead independent director, since, as at the date of this Report, the conditions indicated under Application Criterion 2.C.3 of the Corporate Governance Code do not apply; indeed, the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not the main person responsible for the management of the Company nor the individual that controls ENAV.
In line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has established the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, composed of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom independent, with consultative and advisory functions on remuneration and appointment matters.
During the year 2017 until the date of the 2017 Shareholders' Meeting, the RN Committee was composed of Directors Stefano Siragusa (independent non-executive Director) acting as Chairman, Nicola Maione (independent non-executive Director) and Alessandro Tonetti (non-executive Director).
After renewal of the Board of Directors by the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting, the resolution of the Board of Directors on 4 May 2017 established the new Remuneration and Appointments Committee, composed of directors Carlo Paris (Independent Non-Executive Director) acting as Chairman Maria Teresa Di Matteo (Non-Executive Director), Fabiola Mascardi (Independent Non-Executive Director) and Giuseppe Acierno (Independent Non-Executive Director).
The composition of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee ensures that the necessary number of members is in possession of the requirements of professionalism and independence as required by the Corporate Governance Code.
The composition, functioning and duties of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, with separate evidence of the powers of the Committee with respect to remuneration and those with respect to appointments, are regulated by the rules of the Committee ("CRN Regulation") approved by resolution of the Board of Directors on 21 June 2016.

The Committee can access information functional for performing its duties and rely on the support of the business functions in matters within its competence.
No Director takes part in the meetings of the Committee in which proposals to the Board of Directors concerning their individual remuneration are formulated, unless the proposals refer to the generality of members of the committees established within the Board of Directors.

The SCIGR, which takes into account the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and references national and international best practices, is divided into three separate levels of internal control:
| "first level" or "line controls" (risk ownership) |
The set of control activities that the individual group areas, management and corporate structures perform on their own processes in order to ensure that transactions are performed correctly. These control activities are carried out under the main responsibility of the management and they are considered an integral part of every corporate process. The corporate structures are therefore the main entities that are responsible for the internal control and risk management process. In the course of its regular operations, these structures are required to identify, measure, evaluate, manage, monitor and report the risks arising from ordinary business operations in accordance with the mandatory standards, regulations and internal procedures applicable |
|---|---|
| "second level" controls |
Assigned to the structures specifically in charge of carrying out this work, (such as Risk Management, Planning and Control, Safety, Security, Quality, Management Systems and HSE) which are autonomous as well hierarchically and functionally distinct from the "first level" corporate structures, with specific duties and responsibilities of control over different areas/types of risks. They monitor the business risks of specific relevance, propose guidelines on the relative control systems and verify their adequacy in order to ensure efficiency and efficacy of the control and risk management operations and support the integration of the risks related to their specific fields of competence |
| "third level" controls |
Carried out by the Internal Audit department, which provides independent and objective assurance on the adequacy and the actual operation of the first and second level controls, and, more generally, on the SCIGR. This level of control, therefore, has the task of verifying the structure and operation of the SCIGR overall, including through monitoring the line controls and the second level controls, both for ENAV and the Group. |
The main parties involved in the Internal Control and Risk Management System are:
the Internal Audit Department
the Financial Reporting Officer
Below is a diagram that summarises the actors of ENAV's SCIGR, showing the architecture based on the three levels of control.
* also in its quality as Director in Charge of the SCIGR
To ensure maximum coordination between the different components of the control system, the governance of ENAV provides that:
Insofar as coordination between the level II and III controls' structures is concerned, the following is provided for:
constant monitoring and updating of the guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
At its meeting on 4 May 2017 the Board of Directors appointed the Chief Executive Officer, Ms Roberta Neri, as the Director in Charge of supervising the operations of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, with the duties referred to in the Application Criterion 7.C.4 of the Corporate Governance Code (the "Director in Charge of SCIGR").
The latter is responsible for:
During the year and in the first months of 2018, the Director in Charge of SCIGR carried out the following operations:
The Board of Directors appointed Devan de Paolis as the Internal Audit Officer.
The Internal Audit Officer ensures that the Group Internal Control and Risk Management System is functional and adequate; in particular he is responsible to:
The Internal Audit Officer also ensures at the Group level proper oversight for the prevention of corruption and the fight against fraud through monitoring reports received (so-called whistleblowing) and checking the facts reported in the same.
The Internal Audit Department has direct access to all information required for the performance of these duties and prepares periodic reports containing adequate information on its activities, the procedures through which risks are managed and compliance with the content of defined plans. The periodic reports contain an evaluation of the suitability of the SCIGR after the results of the checks carried out in executing the audit plan and any further investigation requested by management and/or control boards.
For the discharge of his duties, the Internal Audit Officer is endowed with the financial resources as per the department budget, necessary for conducting the department activities autonomously or with the support of external entities/individuals.
The Internal Audit department is not responsible for any operating area and depends hierarchically from the Board of Directors, with which it communicates directly through the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The Internal Audit Department timely prepares reports on events of particular significance and transmits them to the Chairmen of the Board of Statutory Auditors, of the CRRP Committee and of the Board of Directors, to the Director in Charge of SCIGR and to the Financial Reporting Officer to the extent of its responsibility. Moreover, the Internal Audit department verifies the reliability of the Company's information systems, including its accounting systems.
As of the date of this Report, incentive mechanisms were in place for the Internal Audit Officer, consistent with the tasks assigned. In particular, the incentive and remuneration policies applicable to the Internal Audit Officer and to all the Company's management, which consist of fixed and variable components, are based on classification and weighting of the organisational roles (certified periodically by an external company) which allow comparison with the external market. The systems are furthermore closely related to an annual performance evaluation process defined through a short-term managerial incentive system.
The Internal Audit Officer serves as the internal member of the Supervisory Body of ENAV and of the subsidiary Techno Sky.
With reference to the whistleblowing system, for managing reports of illegal or fraudulent conduct on the part of its employees both by third parties in general and more particularly by those who have relationships with the ENAV Group, the Internal Audit department has developed a system that establishes a confidential information channel, ensuring the anonymity and confidentiality of the whistleblower.
During the year and in the first months of 2018, the Internal Audit Officer carried out the following activties:
periodically monitored the progress of the work inherent in the implementation of recommended actions (follow up);
periodically reported to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and to the Board of Statutory Auditors on the progress of activities carried out;
ENAV Group's controlsystem for financial reporting ("SCIIF"), which is an integral part of the broader corporate SCIGR, aims at ensuring that the objectives of reliability, accuracy, trustworthiness are applied to financial reporting.
The structure of SCIIF is defined consistently with the "Internal Controls – Integrated Framework" model of the "Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission", which represents internationally the reference model in relation to which each component of the ENAV internal control system is established, maintained and evaluated.
The responsibility for implementing and maintaining a proper SCIIF is assigned to the Financial Reporting Officer; the principles and methods used thereby in exercising their duties, and the responsibilities of the personnel involved in various capacities in the maintenance and monitoring of SCIIF activities, are described in the "Guidelines for evaluation of SCIIF".
The establishment, maintenance and evaluation of the SCIIF are guaranteed through a structured process that includes the following phases:
controls and monitoring, these being the group of activities, manual or automated, which aim at preventing, identifying and correcting errors or irregularities that arise as activities are conducted.
Based on the results from the monitoring activity, the Financial Reporting Officer prepares a report on the adequacy of the SCIIF. The report is shared with the Chief Executive Officer and communicated to the Board of Directors, after examination by the CRRP Committee, at the time of the approval of the draft annual financial statements and the interim financial report, to allow their assessments on the SCIIF.
f) Release of the certification of the financial statements and the report on operations by the Chief Executive Officer and by the Financial Reporting Officer. Based on the consolidation of the results obtained and the overall evaluation of the control system for financial reporting, the Financial Reporting Officer and the Chief Executive Officer issue a certification regarding the efficacy and operation of the administrative and accounting procedures and the truthfulness and accuracy of the financial reporting. The certification regarding the financial statements for the year, the annual consolidated financial statements and the interim financial statements for the half year, together with the relative management reports, is also supported by a flow of internal certification letters, issued every half year by the managers of the corporate functions of ENAV which are involved in preparing the financial statements, the Financial Reporting Officer of Techno Sky and the administrative officers of other subsidiaries.
In compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 231/2001, which introduced a system of administrative liability into the Italian legal system for companies for certain types of crimes committed by their directors, managers or employees in the interest of or for the advantage of the companies themselves, the Company since 2004 has adopted the organizational, management and control model referred to in Legislative Decree 231 dated 8 June 2001 (the "Organizational Model").
Pursuant to Legislative Decree 231 of 2001, the Supervisory Body is responsible for overseeing the operation and observance of the Organisational Model and of the Code of Ethics, while also updating the same pursuant to the evolution of the organisational structure and the reference regulatory environment.
ENAV's Organisational Model in effect as at the date of this Report is structured as follows:
a matrix of the areas exposed to the risk of offences (analysis of the risk profile) which also includes a list of the instrumental processes, i.e. the corporate processes in which the conditions for committing of these offences could be present;
an Annex containing the list of relevant offences which outlines pursuant to Legislative Decree 231 of 2001 the types of crimes and administrative offences liable to determine administrative responsibility borne by the legal persons.
The Organisational Model of ENAV is constantly maintained and updated by the Supervisory Body. Recently, on 27 February 2018, the Company's Board of Directors, inter alia taking into account the regulatory updates of Legislative Decree 231/ 2001 in 2017, and precisely:
approved the update of the Organisational Model in relation to (i) the general part with reference to whistleblowing ; (ii) to the list of offences contained in Annex A to the general part; (iii) the special section B "Corporate crimes and administrative crimes and offences of market abuse"; and (iv) the special part F "Crimes of manslaughter and serious or severe injury committed with violation of the regulations on the protection of health and safety at the workplace", to include aspects of travel security relating to activities carried out abroad.
The ENAV Organisational Model is available on the Company's website, www.enav.it.
The Supervisory Body in office as at the date of this Report was appointed on 19 May 2016 and consists of two external members, Francesco Alfonso (Chairman) and Giovanni Fiori, and an internal member Devan De Paolis; the Supervisory Body will remain in office until approval of the financial statements for 2018 and in any case until appointment of the new Supervisory Body.
In 2017, further training/information sessions were carried out concerning Legislative Decree 231 and preventing corruption and an online training course was provided intended for all company employees.
Like ENAV, the subsidiary Techno Sky has its own Organisational Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 and its own Supervisory Body.

The following are the rules that govern the conduct of ENAV Shareholders' Meetings.
Pursuant to Article 7 of the Articles of Association, ordinary and extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings are called through a notice of call published on the Company's website within the terms provided for at law and through the other means and within the deadlines set by CONSOB with its own regulation, and shall be held at the registered office of the Company or in another location, in Italy.
The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting shall be convened at least once per year within 120 days from the end of the year, or within 180 days from the end of the year, when there are particular requirements relative to the structure and object of the Company, pursuant to the provisions of Article 2364, last paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code.
The extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting shall be called in the cases and for the matters provided for by the law.
The Shareholders' Meeting is usually held in a single call. The Board of Directors may establish that the Shareholders' Meeting shall be held over several convocations. The majorities required by the law shall be complied with to ensure the validity of the constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting, whether ordinary or extraordinary, and the validity of the relative resolutions.
Every shareholder entitled to intervene at the Shareholders' Meeting may be represented pursuant to the law, including by non-shareholders, upon written proxy. The proxy may be notified to the Company electronically as well, through the appropriate section on the Company's website indicated in the notice of call. The same notice of call may also indicate, pursuant to applicable laws, additional procedures for digital notification of proxies, which can be used in the specific Shareholders' Meeting which the notice refers to. To facilitate the collection of the proxy from the shareholders, employees of the company or its subsidiaries, who are associated to shareholders' associations fulfilling the requirements set forth by the applicable laws, areas to be used for the communication and the collection of the proxies shall be provided to these associations, according to the terms and procedures agreed from time to time with their legal representatives.
For individual Shareholders Meetings, the Board of Directors may provide that the persons allowed to attend a meeting and exercise a voting right can participate via electronic telecommunications methods. In this case, the notice of call shall specify, including with reference to the Company's website, the aforementioned procedure for participation.
The Company may designate for each Shareholders' Meeting an individual whom the shareholders may authorise and provide voting instructions to on all or some of the proposals on the agenda, following the procedures set by the law and the regulatory provisions, by the end of the second day of open market prior to the date set for such Shareholders' Meeting, including for further calls. The proxy will not be effective with regard to proposals for which no voting instructions have been given.
The Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting will be responsible for checking the regularity of the individual proxies and, in general, verifying the right to attend and to vote. The Chairman shall direct and regulate the discussion.
Managers or employees of the Company or of companies of the ENAV Group, representatives of the independent auditing firm and other entities whose participation the Chairman considers useful with regard to the items on the agenda or the business to be conducted may attend to the Shareholders' Meeting.
Experts, financial analysts and accredited journalists may also attend the Shareholders' Meeting at the Chairman's discretion, as may other individuals who must submit a specific request to this end to the Legal and Corporate Affairs department of the Company, according to the procedures and terms set forth in the notice of call.
Before setting out the items on the agenda, the Chairman informs the Shareholders' Meeting of the participation and attendance of the above-mentioned individuals.
The Shareholders' Meeting shall be chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or, in their absence, by the deputy chairman if appointed, or by another person designated by the Shareholders Meeting. The Chairman is assisted by a secretary, who may be a person other than a shareholder, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting upon proposal of the Chairman. When required by the law and in any other case in which the Chairman considers it appropriate, he may entrust assistance and drafting of the minutes to a notary public.
The Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting confirms the regularity of the constitution of the meeting, verifies the identity and the legitimacy of those present, regulates the meeting proceedings and verifies the results of the voting; the outcomes of these verifications must be reported in the minutes.
The resolutions adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting, in compliance with the laws and with the Articles of Association, are binding upon all shareholders, including those who are not present or who dissent.
The resolutions of the Shareholders' Meetings shall be recorded in minutes, signed by the Chairman and the secretary of the meeting, or by a notary public.
The Company approves transactions with related parties pursuant to the provisions of the law and the regulations that are applicable, its own statutory provisions and the procedures adopted in this regard.
Pursuant to the Shareholders' Meeting Regulation, the Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting will facilitate the discussion, and grant the floor to the Directors, Statutory Auditors and the persons that have requested it.
Persons entitled to vote and the common representative of the bondholders may request the floor regarding issues being discussed only once, putting forth observations and requesting information. Persons entitled to vote may also make proposals. A request to intervene may be made at the time that the Shareholders' Meeting is established and until the Chairman declares the discussion on the specific issue closed. To ensure that the Shareholders' Meeting is conducted in an orderly manner, the Chairman is entitled to establish, whether upon opening or during the discussion of individual issues, a time limit for the submission of requests to intervene.
The Chairman establishes how requests are made and the order of interventions.
The Chairman, and upon the latter's invitation, those supporting the Chairman in the meeting, shall answer the speakers upon completion of all interventions on the issues under discussion, or after each intervention, also taking account of any questions put forth by shareholders prior to the Shareholders' Meeting to which the Company has not yet responded.
Those who have requested the floor may respond briefly.
Depending on the issue and significance of the individual topics under discussion, on the number of persons requesting the floor and on any questions submitted by shareholders prior to the Shareholders' Meeting that have not yet been answered by the Company, the Chairman shall establish the duration of interventions and responses, which normally shall not exceed ten minutes for interventions and five minutes for responses, in order to ensure that the Shareholders' Meeting can conclude its business within a single session. Before the end of the time allowed for the intervention or reply, the Chairman asks the speaker to conclude.
At the end of the interventions, replies and any responses, the Chairman declares the discussion closed.
The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2016 was held on single call on 28 April 2017, with the participation of 75.79% of the share capital.
The Board of Directors took part in the meeting, reporting through the Chief Executive Officer a complete and adequate information to the shareholders on the items on the agenda, whose reports and proposed resolutions had been deposited within the terms of law at the company's registered office and published on the Company's website as well as with the other procedures established by the applicable regulations. These reports were also delivered in hard copy to the shareholders who attended the 2017 Shareholders' Meeting, together with additional documents in order to allow the aware exercise of voting rights.
On this occasion, the Shareholders' Meeting approved the Company's financial statements for the year 2016 and was presented with the consolidated financial statements.
Below is a survey of matters submitted for approval to the 2017 Shareholders' Meeting and a summary of the resolutions adopted.
The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting resolved to pay shareholders a dividend of Euro 95,347,011.76, equivalent to Euro 0.176 per ordinary share. The dividend payment occurred on 24 May 2017, with ex-dividend date fixed on 22 May 2017 and record date on 23 May 2017. The dividend payment notice was published in the newspapers "Il Sole 24 Ore" and "Milano Finanza" on 29 April 2017.
The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting, after determining in 9 the number of members of the Board of Directors of the Company, appointed the new members of the Board of Directors, including the Chairman, with a term of office for the period 2017-2019 and therefore until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2019.
The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting, called upon to resolve with the majorities provided for by law, pursuant to Article 21.3 of the Articles of Association, on supplementing the Board of Statutory Auditors with the appointment of an alternate Auditor, on the basis of the proposal submitted, appointed as alternate Auditor Francesco Schiavone Panni. The office of the Auditor so appointed will expire together with that of the other members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, and therefore on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called for the approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2018.
The Shareholders' Meeting also resolved to re-determine the remuneration of the standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, at Euro 40,000 gross per year for the Chair of the Board and Euro 25,000 gross per year for each Standing Auditor.
The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting voted in favour of the first section of the Remuneration Report prepared according to Article 123-ter, paragraph 3, of the TUF, approved by the Board of Directors on 16 March 2017 and containing the remuneration policy of the Company for the year 2017. The shareholders' vote on this point was favourable to the extent of 95.8% of the share capital present. The minority shareholders' vote on this point was favourable to the extent of 25% of the share capital present.
The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting, having examined the prospectus prepared by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 84-bis of the Issuers Regulations, approved, according to Article 114 bis of TUF, the long-term share-based incentive plan denominated "Performance Share Plan 2017- 2019", in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the prospectus, and resolved to confer upon the Board of Directors and, on its behalf, upon the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, severally, the broadest execution powers required to implement the Performance Share plan 2017- 2019, including the power of sub-delegation to the RN Committee, to be exercised in accordance with the application criteria outlined in the prospectus.
The 2017 Shareholders' Meeting, also in order to give effect to the "Performance Share Plan 2017- 2019," approved, as proposed by the Board of Directors, the purchase and disposal of treasury shares up to a maximum of 850,000 under the conditions and within the limits referred to in the Shareholders' Meeting resolution.
In compliance with the provisions of the applicable regulations, and in particular with the provisions of Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code and Article 4 of the Related Parties Regulation, with resolution on 21 June 2016 the Board of Directors of ENAV approved the "Procedure governing transactions with related parties" (the "OPC Procedure") of ENAV and the ENAV Group, recently amended by the Board of Directors on 13 November 2017. The Control, Risk and Related Parties Committee is, pursuant to the relevant CCRPC Regulation, also entrusted with the duties to operate as the committee as provided for by the OPC Procedure.
The OPC Procedure determines the criteria and procedures for identifying and mapping the related parties of the Company as well as the quantitative criteria for identifying transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV, either directly or through its subsidiaries, trustees or persons interposed, of minor or major relevance, respectively, by regulating the investigation and approval process, in order to ensure transparency and substantial as well as procedural correctness of the same operations.
In particular, the OPC Procedure distinguishes between:
In accordance with the provisions of Article 5, paragraph 2 of the Related Parties Regulation, under the OPC Procedure a Transaction of Major Significance may also result from the cumulation of multiple Transactions of Minor Significance (as defined below).
For the purposes of applying this cumulation, such transactions must be:
In presence of the above mentioned conditions, the value of individual transactions is aggregated for the purpose of calculating the threshold of Major Significance and the application of the related deliberation process, as well as for the reporting obligations.
The OPC Procedure does not apply with reference to certain types of transactions, even if concluded with related parties of the Company, including in particular:
b) resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting relative to remuneration payable to the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2389 paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code
c) resolutions regarding the remuneration of Directors with particular duties which fall under the total amount previously set by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code
The following are also excluded from application of the OPC Procedure, without prejudice to the disclosure obligations:
Central to the architecture of the OPC Procedure is the role of the CRPC Committee that is required to provide the deliberative body – the Board of Directors or other competent delegated body - a reasoned opinion, appraising the Company's interest in completing the transaction as well as its convenience and the substantial correctness of the related conditions. In order to enable the CRPC Committee to express the required opinions, the OPC Procedure establishes specific information flows, which in the case of Transactions of Major Significance include the negotiations stage.
In terms of its binding value, the opinion requested is:
A simplified procedure is then provided for in cases of urgency for approval in derogation of the rules provided for by the OPC Procedure of the transactions with related parties, provided that such transactions do not fall under the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting, notwithstanding in any case the provision of a non-binding vote on such transactions expressed a posteriori by the first available ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company.
In addition to the foregoing, the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Financial Reporting Officer receive complete disclosure at least every three months on the implementation of the Transactions with related parties both of Major and Minor Significance. The OPC Procedure also governs, in compliance with the requirements of the Related Parties Regulation, the public disclosure of transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV and its subsidiaries.
The OPC Procedure is available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.
On 29 March 2016 the Board of Directors approved the "Procedure for the internal management and disclosure to the public of inside information", (the "Inside Information Procedure") which was subsequently amended on 6 July 2016 following the entry into effect of (EU) regulation 596/2014.
The Inside Information Procedure defines the principles and rules relative both to the internal management and the communication outside the Company of documents and information regarding ENAV and its subsidiaries, with particular reference to sensitive information. The rules and principles contained in the Inside Information Procedure aim at ensuring the observance of the provisions of the law and the regulations applicable and to ensure maximum confidentiality and secrecy of the sensitive information or information that can become sensitive, in order to avoid selectively communicating documents and information which concern ENAV and the Group, i.e. early releasing to specific individuals, such as, for example, shareholders, journalists or analysts, or incomplete or inadequate release.
The Inside Information Procedure aims at ensuring that the members of the administration, management and control bodies and the employees of the Company and of the companies of the Group, as well as the individuals who, due to their work or profession, have regular or occasional access to sensitive information relative to the Company or the companies of the Group (the "Recipients"), (i) maintain maximum confidentiality of the information acquired during the pursuit of their work or professional duties, functions or office, in particular the sensitive information or the information which can become sensitive, and do not disseminate this information or reveal it to any person, (ii) use the sensitive information or the information that can become sensitive only in relation to their work or professional duties, function or office and therefore do not use it, for any reason or cause, for personal ends, (iii) ensure maximum secrecy and confidentiality of the sensitive information or the information that can become sensitive until such information is disclosed to the market in compliance with the procedures set forth in the Inside Information Procedure and (iv) immediately inform the competent functions, including the Investor Relations, Communication, Administration, Finance and Control and the Legal and Corporate Affairs departments in relation to information that is pertinent, regarding any action, fact or omission that could constitute a violation of the Sensitive Information Procedure.
Furthermore, on 29 March 2016, the Company adopted the "Procedure for establishment and updating of the register of persons with access to inside information", which was subsequently amended on 6 July 2016 following the entry into effect of the "EU" regulation the 596/2014 (the "Registry Procedure").
The Inside Information Procedure and Registry Procedure are available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.
On 29 March 2016, the Board of Directors approved the "Internal Dealing Procedure" relating to regulating the disclosure obligations and restrictions for transactions involving financial instruments issued by the Company or derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto, insofar as they are carried out by certain significant parties and by the parties closely related thereto.
Such procedure has been amended by the resolutions of the Board of Directors respectively on 6 July 2016 and recently on 27 February 2018, mainly in order to align the Internal Dealing Procedure with EU Regulation 596/2014 and its domestic legislation of first and second level.
The ENAV Board of Directors on 27 February 2018 also adopted a code of conduct for significant shareholders (the " Internal Dealing Code") relating to transactions involving securities issued by ENAV, such as derivatives or financial instruments linked thereto, insofar as carried out by significant
shareholders (i.e., shareholders holding at least 10% of ENAV share capital) and by parties closely related thereto.
The rules of the Code of Ethics apply to all the corporate bodies, the management, the employees, external associates, commercial partners, suppliers and all those who have relations with the Company and in general the companies that belong to the ENAV Group.
In particular, the Code of Ethics regulates all the rights, duties and responsibilities that ENAV expressly assumes toward the stakeholders with which it interacts on a daily basis as it pursues its activities.
The adoption of certain standards of conduct to be observed in interactions with third parties is part of the Company's commitments, including in relation to preventing the crimes set forth under Legislative Decree 231 of 2001, and the prevention of corruption and fraud.
Furthermore, the Code of Ethics follows the principles set forth in the "Code of conduct for public employees" included in Presidential Decree No. 62 of 16 April 2013, issued by the Government to "ensure, […], compliance with the constitutional duties of diligence, loyalty, impartiality and exclusive service in the public interest".
ENAV's Code of Ethics recognises the following principles and fundamental values for the affirmation of the Company's mission, which the various stakeholders must refer to in order to foster the good operation, the reliability and reputation of the Company:
The rules set forth in the Code of Ethics constitute an essential part of the contractual obligations assumed by the personnel pursuant to Article 2104 of the Italian Civil Code.
Pursuant to the applicable laws, the Company assesses behaviours that violate the principles of the Code of Ethics applying, in the exercise of its prerogatives as an employer, the disciplinary sanctions that are warranted, based on the seriousness of the events.
The Code of Ethics is available to the public on the Company's website at www.enav.it.
ENAV considered it appropriate with regard to its own corporate policies as well as to its statutory mandate to implement the Organisation and Management Model provided under Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. To this end, as noted above, the Company by resolution of the Board of Directors pro tempore, on May 27 2004 already approved its Organisational Model, emphasizing, in the design of the system for prevention of offences, the broader involvement of the owners of sensitive processes, who are an active part in ensuring compliance with the Organisational Model and Code of Ethics, also allowing the proper application of the sanction system provided.
Following the organisational changes intervened and the introduction of new types of criminal offences within the corpus of Legislative Decree 231/2001, as well as of any other assessment as to the completeness and effectiveness of the Organisational Model, the Company has over the years – and recently during the first months of 2018 - constantly maintained and updated the Organisational Model in order to preserve over time the requisite durability, functionality and effectiveness.
For more information, please refer to paragraph 5.4 of this Report.
There have been no changes to the Corporate Governance of ENAV from the end of the financial year up to the date of this Report.
On 13 December 2017, the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee, formed by the enterprise associations ABI, ANIA, Assonime, Confindustria and professional investors (Assogestioni), as well as by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the "Corporate Governance Committee"), exercising the prerogatives entrusted thereto by the Corporate Governance Code, addressed the Chairs of the administrative and control bodies of listed companies in a letter detailing, with reference to specific areas of corporate governance, certain directions aimed at a better compliance of the same issuers with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code.
The recommendations formulated in the letter were brought to the attention of the ENAV's Board of Directors at the induction session on 2 February 2018 and at the meeting of 27 February 2018, and to the Board of Statutory Auditors at its meeting on 16 February 2018.
The following is an examination of the governance profiles addressed in the above mentioned letter and a concise summary of the actions undertaken by the Company or the considerations of the Board of Director in this regard.
As for the transparency on promptness, completeness and usability of the pre-board meeting information, the Board notes that the pre-board information is prompt and includes all the documentation required to render the Directors fully aware of all the issues submitted to their attention. The convocation, which is always timely in compliance with the terms as required by the Articles of Association, normally contains all the documentation required, except for rare exceptions due to the need to supplement such documentation, which are clearly indicated within the convocation notice. In particular, the Board notes that during the Financial Year the terms set by the Articles of Association for sending the pre-meeting information were always respected. The outcomes of the board evaluation process consistently confirmed the timeliness in transmitting the documentation and its completeness.
As for the clarity and completeness of the remuneration policies, and for the recommendation to assign more weight to the long-term variable components of these policies, to introduce claw-back clauses and to define criteria and procedures for assigning any severance compensation at the end of the office, the Board of Directors considers that, during the year, the Company continued the development of its remuneration policy, already set in the recommended direction; in this respect, of particular relevance are the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors that concern, inter alia: (i) the substantial confirmation of an incentive system characterised by a combination of short term and long term plans linked to performance; (ii) the adoption of the implementing regulations for the long-term incentive plan denominated Performance Share 2017-2019, with objectives consistent with market expectations and with the Company's business, running over a three-year vesting period; (iii) the introduction of specific clawback clauses with reference to the variable part of executive compensation; and (iv) the updating of some elements related to severance for the Chief Executive Officer. For more information and greater detail about ENAV remuneration policy, please refer to the remuneration report prepared in accordance with Article 123-ter of the TUF, published in the "Governance" section at www.enav.it.
With regard to the recommendations concerning the establishment and the prerogatives of the committee competent on appointments, the Board noted that the Company, on 21 June 2016, in view of the then imminent listing and in compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, established the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, thereafter reconstituted following the renewal of the Board of Directors. Although this Committee was established in a form merged with the one competent on remuneration matters, insofar as permitted by the Articles of Association, the regulation of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee approved by the Board of Directors clearly distinguishes the responsibilities of the Committee concerning remuneration from those concerning appointments. For more detail on the prerogatives of the RN Committee relating, respectively, to remuneration and appointments, please refer to paragraph 4.1 of this Report.
With regard to additional governance areas susceptible of qualitative improvement, and especially regarding the succession plans for executive directors, having regard to the indications referred to in Application Criterion 5.C.2 of the Corporate Governance Code, during the reference financial year, on 27 February 2018 the Board of Directors, upon proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and in continuity with the resolution by the administrative body pro tempore on 21 June 2016, voted not to proceed with adopting a succession plan for the executive directors, taking into account considerations relating to the shareholding structure and the fact that, by law and according to the Articles of Association, the Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of the lists presented by shareholders. On the same date, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, resolved to adopt the "Contingency Plan aimed at regulating the steps to be undertaken in case of the Chief Executive Officer's early termination from office before the ordinary expiry of the mandate, or in the event of unforeseen and unforeseeable events that prevent the Chief Executive Officer - the sole Executive Director of ENAV – to carry out the relevant duties in order to ensure continuity in the regular operations of the Company, pending appointment of a new chief executive officer.
With regard to the recommendations concerning the role of the independent Directors and the importance of the related assessment of independence, and referencing section 3.12 of this Report, it is noted that the Board of Directors, on the occasion of its taking office, assessed the independence of the Directors in accordance with the law and the Corporate Governance Code, and therefore having regard to considerations of both a substantial and formal nature, and that the Board of Statutory Auditors also evaluated the correctness of the procedures adopted by the Board of Directors for the purposes of this assessment.
Finally, with regard to the recommendation concerning the importance of structuring procedures for the board review, as shown in more detail in paragraph 3.8 of this Report, in the first year of its mandate the Board of Directors launched a structured board evaluation process to be conducted over a three-year period with the support of an external independent advisor and through interviews, questionnaires and induction sessions. Such process includes the assessments of the Board in respect of its functioning and contribution to strategic issues, as well as with reference to the role performed in determining the Company's risk appetite and in defining guidelines for the internal control and risk management system. In the context of the self-assessment relating to the year 2017, the Board also stressed the completeness and comprehensiveness of the information received on management and business development.
