Before moving on to the first item on the agenda, the Chairman asks the shareholders not to leave the meeting as much as possible, by specifying that, should the persons attending leave the room permanently or temporarily before the end of the meeting, they are requested to make it known upon entry for the relevant records.

The Chairman specifies that, pursuant to Article 120 of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and to the implementing regulations issued by Consob, those who own directly and indirectly more than 5% of the share capital of the company and have not reported this to the Company and to the Consob, cannot exercise the voting rights of the shares that have not been reported, and also that the voting right concerning the shares for which the disclosure requirements set forth in article 122, paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) have not been fulfilled, cannot be exercised.

Therefore, the Chairman invites the persons attending to indicate, now and at every single vote, any lack of voting rights pursuant to the rules in force, and asks the Secretary to note that none of the persons attending reported the existence of causes that prevent or limit the voting right.

No statement is made to that effect by any person attending; therefore, the Chairman believes that there is no lack of voting rights.

The Chairman, after declaring that the meeting is regularly convened to decide, declares the session open.

On the first item on the agenda ("Presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Tesmec Group and approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2017 and relevant reports including the Non-financial report; allocation of profit or loss for the period; related and consequent resolutions"), the Chairman reminds the persons attending that the Company's financial statements as at 31 December 2017, together with the accompanying reports, were held on file pursuant to the law at the operating office in Grassobio, Via Zanica no. 17 and by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. for 21 days prior to the shareholders' meeting, available to shareholders, and that said documents were also sent to anyone requesting them. The Chairman continues by mentioning that the independent auditors expressed a judgment containing no remarks and informs that the auditing of the financial statements as at 31 December 2017 took a total of 1,880 hours whereas the auditing of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2017 and a desk review of the financial statements of the subsidiary and associated companies took a total of 478 hours, by invoicing the Company, as established by the offer approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, a total amount of Euro 154,000 excluding VAT, expenses and Consob supervision fee.

The TTC S.r.l. shareholder proceeds, proposing not to read out the financial statements and relative reports in full. Since all the persons attending agree, the Chairman takes the floor, covering the key financial and economic figures present in the annual financial statements. The Chairman illustrates to those present as with no. 254, 30 December 2016 Legislative decree, (the "Decree") the 2014/95/UE directive was implemented and it has been introduced the obligation for the subjects that, pursuant to art. 2 of the Decree, are qualified as significant public interest entities to prepare and publish, for each financial year, a Non-financial report that covers to the extent necessary to ensure the understanding of the Group's activities, its progress, its results and its impact, including the data of the parent company, of its subsidiaries consolidated on a line-by-line basis and covering environmental, social, personnel-related issues, respect for human rights, the fight against active and passive corruption, which are important considering the business and the characteristics of the company (Article 4, paragraph 1). Re-entering Tesmec as part of the subjective application of the standard, it then drafted the Non-financial report and published it in a specific section of the Report on operations. This declaration, as required by law, has also been subject to a supervisory activity by the Board of Statutory Auditors, which has confirmed in its report to the Shareholders' Meeting compliance with the provisions that regulate its preparation pursuant to the aforementioned Decree.The Chairman asks the Secretary to read out the following draft resolution:

"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting,

decides

Therefore, the Chairman opens the discussion on the above draft resolution by inviting the persons who have the right to vote and who wish to take the floor to give their name and the number of shares represented in person or via proxy and by mentioning that the answers to the questions that were formulated will be given at the end of all the interventions on this item on the agenda.

As no one asks to take the floor, the Chairman closes the discussion and opens the voting, informing the persons attending that the number of shareholders is unchanged and that no one reported the existence of causes that prevent or limit the voting right. He invites the Shareholders' Meeting to vote by a show of hands, and those for, against and abstentions to give their opinion separately.

Voting then takes place, at the end of which the Chairman declares the read-out proposal approved unanimously by the persons attending, stating that, net of treasury shares held by the Company:

n. 59,754,753 shares voted in favor; n. 0 shares voted against; and there are no shares abstained.

On the second item on the agenda ("Consultation on the first section of the report on remuneration pursuant to article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998"), the Chairman reminds the persons attending that, pursuant to article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF), the Shareholders' Meeting is required to deliberate in favour of or against the first section of the report on remuneration, drawn up pursuant to Articles 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and 84-quater of the Regulation adopted with Consob Resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended and supplemented ("Issuers' Regulation"), which illustrates the Company's policy on the remuneration of the members of management bodies and of executives with strategic responsibilities, as well as the procedures used to adopt or implement said policy.

The Chairman continues stating that said report must be organised into two sections and must be structured as detailed below. The first section must illustrate: (a) the policy adopted by the Company as regards the remuneration of members of the management bodies, general managers and executives with strategic responsibilities (if such exist) with reference to at least the following year; (b) the procedures used for the adoption and implementation of this policy. The second section, individually naming the members of management and control bodies, the general managers and grouping executives with strategic responsibilities (if such exist), must (i) provide an adequate indication of each of the items that comprise remuneration, including payments envisaged in the event of the termination of an office or of a contract of employment, illustrating consistency with the company's policy on remuneration approved in the previous year; and (ii) analytically illustrate the amounts paid in the financial period under review for any reason and in any form by the Company and by associated or subsidiary companies, indicating any components of said payments that refer to activities performed in years prior to the financial period under review and also indicating payments to be made in one or more subsequent years for activities performed in the financial period under review.

The Chairman also reminds the persons attending that this report was approved by the Board of Directors on 1 March 2018 and was made available to the public at the operative office, on the Company's website and with other methods established by Consob Regulation twenty-one days prior to today's Shareholders' Meeting.

The Chairman also notes that, pursuant to the above-mentioned article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF), the resolution that the Shareholders' Meeting is required to pass will not be binding in any case.
