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.
