Dear Shareholders,

With regard to the only one item on the Agenda of the Extraordinary session of the General Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting the introduction in the By-laws of the possibility of casting vote by correspondence, for any Shareholders' Meeting, as well as to deem as regularly constituted the Shareholders' Meeting, and the meetings of the Board of Directors, the Committees and the Board of Statutory Auditors without the need of the Chairperson being present in person at the same venue as the person tasked with recording the minutes, and the possibility to call the meetings of the said bodies without the need to specify a physical venue for the conduct of the meeting. The By-laws provisions were accordingly reorganized for the purposes of a more consistent exposure.
