The ratio between working capital and short-term loans is 2.5, for which the Group considers the liquidity risk to be minimal.

In 2015 the Sabaf Group made net investments of 12.1 million euro. The main investments in the year were aimed at increasing production capacity and the further automation of production of light alloy valves. The machinery necessary for the production launch in China was produced and production capacity at the Turkish plant was also further increased. Investments were also made to improve production processes - including the purchase of new alcohol washing facilities - and investments were made in maintenance and replacement, designed to keep the capital equipment constantly updated.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE SEGMENT IN WHICH THE GROUP OPERATES

Risks related to the overall conditions of the economy and trend in demand

The protracted nature of the European crisis, which has become systematic over the years, has had an impact on the transformation of the white goods industry, the sector in which the Sabaf group operates. Indeed, the continuous contraction of demand on mature markets has been accompanied by a further concentration of end markets, a steady increase of sales volumes in emerging markets DQGƓQDOO\WRXJKHUFRPSHWLWLRQSKHQRPHQDWKDWUHTXLUHDJJUHVVLYHSROLFLHVLQVHWWLQJVDOHVSULFHV To cope with this situation, the Group aims to retain and reinforce its leadership position wherever possible through:

  • the launch of new products characterised by superior performance compared with market standards, and tailored to the needs of the customer;
  • expansion on markets with high growth rates;
  • the maintenance of high quality and safety standards, which make it possible to differentiate the product through the use of resources and implementation of production processes that are not easily sustainable by competitors;

The Sabaf Group operates primarily in euro. However, transactions also take place in other currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, the Brazilian real, the Turkish lira and the Chinese renminbi.

Since sales in US dollars accounted for about 12% of consolidated revenue, the possible depreciation against the euro and the real could lead to a loss in competitiveness on the markets in which sales are made in that currency (mainly South and North America). At 31 December 2015 the Group had forward sales contracts for a total of 5.2 million dollars, maturing until 31 December 2016. The Administration and Finance Department constantly monitors forex exposure, the trend in exchange rates and the operational management of related activities.

Risks associated with product responsibility

Sabaf products carry a high intrinsic risk in terms of safety. The Group's great attention to product quality and safety has made it possible to avoid incidents caused by product defects. Despite this, it is not possible to automatically exclude incidents of this nature. In order to transfer the risk of third-party liability damage arising from malfunctioning of its products, Sabaf has signed insurance policies with a deductible of up to €10 million per individual claim.

Protection of product exclusivity

There is a risk that some Group products, although patented, will be copied by FRPSHWLWRUV WKH RSHQLQJ XS RI WUDGH LQ FRXQWULHV LQ ZKLFK LW LV GLIƓFXOW WR HQIRUFH industrial patent rights exposes the Group to a greater risk of protection of its own products. Sabaf's business model therefore bases the protection of product exclusivity mainly on design capacity and the internal production of special machines used in manufacturing processes, which result from its unique know-how that competitors ZRXOGƓQGGLIƓFXOWWRUHSOLFDWH

In any case, Sabaf has structured processes in place to manage innovation and protect intellectual property. In addition, the Group periodically monitors the patent strategies adopted/to be adopted based on the assessments of cost/opportunity.

Sales concentration risks

The Group is characterised by a strong concentration in its revenue, with 50% arising from sales to its ten biggest customers. Relations with customers are usually stable and over long periods, albeit usually regulated by agreements of less than one year, which can be renewed and with no guaranteed minimum levels.

The Sabaf Group is continuing with its policy of expansion abroad, and is undergoing a process of growing internationalisation, with the opening of new companies and production facilities in countries considered strategic for the future development of its business.

In order to align the subsidiaries' operating and management model to that of Sabaf S.p.A., the Group extended the implementation of the SAP IT system to all the production units; during 2015 the system was also launched at Sabaf Cina.

INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY AND REPORTING

Since 2005, Sabaf has drawn up a single report on its economic, social and environmental sustainability performance. In 2005, this was a pioneering and almost experimental move, but today the trend emerging at international level suggests that integrated reporting unquestionably represents best practice.

These are recorded at purchase or manufacturing cost. The cost includes directly chargeable ancillary costs. These costs also include revaluations undertaken in the past based on monetary revaluation rules or pursuant to company mergers. Depreciation is calculated according to rates deemed appropriate to spread the carrying value of tangible assets over their useful working life.

As regards acquisitions completed prior to the date of IFRS adoption, the Sabaf Group has used the option provided by IFRS 1 to refrain from applying IFRS 3 – concerning business combinations – to acquisitions that took place prior to the transition date. Consequently, goodwill arising in relation to past acquisitions has not been recalculated and has been posted in accordance with Italian GAAPs, net of amortisation reported up to 31 December 2003 and any losses caused by a permanent value impairment.

Impairment of value

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying value of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there are signs of impairment of the value of these assets. If there is any such indication, the recoverable amount of said assets is estimated so as to determine the total of the write-down. If it is not possible to estimate recoverable value individually, the Group estimates the recoverable value of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

In particular, the recoverable value of the cash generating units (which generally coincide ZLWKWKHOHJDOHQWLW\WRZKLFKWKHFDSLWDOLVHGDVVHWVUHIHU LVYHULƓHGE\GHWHUPLQLQJWKH value of use.

The growth rates adopted are based on future market expectations in the relevant sector. Changes in the sales prices are based on past experience and on WKH H[SHFWHGIXWXUH FKDQJHVLQWKHPDUNHW7KH *URXSSUHSDUHVRSHUDWLQJ FDVKŴRZ forecasts based on the most recent budgets approved by the Boards of Directors of the consolidated companies, draws up four-year forecasts and determines the terminal value (current value of perpetual income), which expresses the medium and long term RSHUDWLQJŴRZVLQWKHVSHFLƓFVHFWRU

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be lower than its carrying value, the asset's carrying value is reduced to the lower recoverable amount, recognising impairment of value in the income statement.

When there is no longer any reason for a write-down to be maintained, the carrying value of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the new value stemming from the estimate of its recoverable amount – but not beyond the net carrying value that the asset would have had if it had not been written down for impairment of value. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.

Investment properties

As allowed by IAS 40, non-operating buildings and constructions are assessed at cost net of depreciation and losses due to cumulative impairment of value. The depreciation criterion applied is the asset's estimated useful life, which is considered to be 33 years. If the recoverable amount of investment property – determined based on the market value of the real estate – is estimated to be lower than its carrying value, the asset's carrying value is reduced to the lower recoverable amount, recognising impairment of value in the income statement.

When there is no longer any reason for a write-down to be maintained, the carrying value of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the new value stemming from the estimate of

its recoverable amount – but not beyond the net carrying value that the asset would have had if it had not been written down for impairment of value. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.

Payables

Payables are recognised at face value; the portion of interest included in their face value and not yet payable at period-end is deferred to future periods.

Policy for conversion of foreign currency items

Receivables and payables originally expressed in foreign currencies are converted into euro at the exchange rates in force on the date of the transactions originating them. Forex differences realised upon collection of receivables and payment of payables in foreign currency are posted in the income statement. Income and costs relating to foreign-currency transactions are converted at the rate in force on the transaction date. At year-end, assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies, with the exception of non-current items, are posted at the spot exchange rate in force at year-end and related foreign exchange gains and losses are posted in the income statement. If conversion generates a net gain, this value constitutes a non-distributable reserve until it is effectively realised.

Derivative instruments and hedge accounting

The company uses derivative instruments (mainly forward contracts on currencies and commodity options) to hedge risks stemming from changes in foreign currencies relating to irrevocable commitments or to planned future transactions.

The Group does not use derivatives for trading purposes.

Derivatives are initially recognised at cost and are then adjusted to IDLU YDOXH on subsequent closing dates.

Changes in the IDLU YDOXH of derivatives designated and recognised as effective for KHGJLQJIXWXUHFDVKŴRZVUHODWLQJWRWKH*URXSōVFRQWUDFWXDOFRPPLWPHQWVDQGSODQQHG transactions are recognised directly in shareholders' equity, while the ineffective portion is immediately posted in the income statement. If the contractual commitments or planned transactions materialise in the recognition of assets or liabilities, when such assets or liabilities are recognised, the gains or losses on the derivative that were directly recognised in equity are factored back into the initial valuation of the cost of DFTXLVLWLRQRUFDUU\LQJYDOXHRIWKHDVVHWRUOLDELOLW)RUFDVKŴRZKHGJHVWKDWGRQRW lead to recognition of assets or liabilities, the amounts that were directly recognised in equity are included in the income statement in the same period when the contractual FRPPLWPHQW RU SODQQHG WUDQVDFWLRQ KHGJHG LPSDFWV SURƓW DQG ORVV Ŋ IRU H[DPSOH when a planned sale actually takes place.

Income taxes for the year

Income taxes include all taxes calculated on the Group's taxable income. Income taxes are directly recognised in the income statement, with the exception of those concerning items directly debited or credited to shareholders' equity, in which case the tax effect is recognised directly in shareholders' equity. Other taxes not relating to income, such as property taxes, are included among operating expenses. Deferred taxes are provisioned in accordance with the global liability provisioning method. They are calculated on all temporary differences emerging between the taxable base of an asset and liability and its book value in the consolidated balance sheet, with the exception of goodwill that is not tax-deductible and of differences stemming from investments in subsidiaries for which cancellation is not envisaged in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets on unused tax losses and tax credits carried forward are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be recovered. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when income taxes are levied by the same tax authority and when there is a legal right to settle on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to be applicable, according to the respective regulations of the countries where the Group operates, in the years when temporary differences will be realised or settled.

Dividends

Dividends are posted on an accrual basis when the right to receive them materialises, i.e. when shareholders approve dividend distribution.

Treasury shares

Treasury shares are booked as a reduction of shareholders' equity. The carrying value of treasury shares and revenues from any subsequent sales are recognised in the form of changes in shareholders' equity.

Use of estimates

PreSDUDWLRQ RI WKH ƓQDQFLDO VWDWHPHQWV DQG QRWHV LQ DFFRUGDQFH ZLWK IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the disclosures on contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date. Actual results might differ from these estimates. Estimates are used to measure tangible and intangible assets subject to impairment testing, as described earlier, as well as to measure credit risks, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and DPRUWLVDWLRQ DVVHW ZULWHGRZQV HPSOR\HH EHQHƓWV WD[HV DQG RWKHU SURYLVLRQV 6SHFLƓFDOO\

Recoverable value of tangible and intangible assets

The procedure for determining impairment of value of tangible and intangible assets described in "Impairment of value" implies – in estimating the value of use – the use of the Business Plans of subsidiaries, which are based on a series of assumptions and hypotheses relating to future events and actions of the subsidiaries' management bodies, which may not necessarily come about. In estimating market value, however, assumptions are made on the expected trend in trading between third parties based on historical trends, which may not actually be repeated.

Provisions for credit risks

Credit is adjusted by the related provision for doubtful accounts to take into account its recoverable value. To determine the size of the write-downs, management must make subjective assessments based on the documentation and information available regarding, among other things, the customer's solvency, as well as experience and historical payment trends.

Provisions for inventory obsolescence

Warehouse inventories subject to obsolescence and slow turnover are systematically valued, and written down if their recoverable value is less than their carrying value. Write-downs are calculated based on management assumptions and estimates, resulting from experience and historical results.

Income tax

The Group is subject to different bodies of tax legislation on income.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting standards and policies applied for the preparation of the separate ƓQDQFLDOVWDWHPHQWVDVDW'HFHPEHUXQFKDQJHGYHUVXVWKHSUHYLRXV\HDUDUH shown below:

Property, plant and equipment

These are recorded at purchase or manufacturing cost. The cost includes directly chargeable ancillary costs. These costs also include revaluations undertaken in the past based on monetary revaluation rules or pursuant to company mergers.

Depreciation is calculated according to rates deemed appropriate to spread the carrying value of tangible assets over their useful working life. Estimated useful working life, in years, is as follows:

Buildings 33
Light constructions 10
General plant 10
5RGEKƂE
RNCPV
CPF
OCEJKPGT[
6 – 10
'SWKROGPV 4
Furniture 8
'NGEVTQPKE
GSWKROGPV
Vehicles and other transport means

Ordinary maintenance costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred; costs that increase the asset value or useful working life are capitalised and depreciated according to the residual possibility of utilization of the assets to which they refer. Land is not depreciated.

Investment properties

Investment property is valued at cost, including revaluations undertaken in the past based on monetary revaluation rules or pursuant to company mergers.

The depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful life, considered to be 33 years. If the recoverable amount of investment property – determined based on the market value of the real estate – is estimated to be lower than its carrying value, the asset's carrying value is reduced to the lower recoverable amount, recognising impairment of value in the income statement.

When there is no longer any reason for a write-down to be maintained, the carrying value of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the new value stemming from the estimate of its recoverable amount – but not beyond the net carrying value that the asset would have had if it had not been written down for impairment of value. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.

Impairment of value

At each balance sheet date, Sabaf S.p.A. reviews the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and equity investments to determined whether there are signs of impairment of the value of these assets. If there is any such indication, the recoverable amount of said assets is estimated so as to determine the total of the write-down. If it is not possible to estimate recoverable value individually, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. In particular, the recoverable value of the cash generating units (which JHQHUDOO\FRLQFLGHZLWKWKHOHJDOHQWLW\WRZKLFKWKHFDSLWDOLVHGDVVHWVUHIHU LVYHULƓHG by determining the value of use.

The growth rates adopted are based on future market expectations in the relevant sector. Changes in the sales prices are based on past experience and on WKHH[SHFWHGIXWXUHFKDQJHVLQWKHPDUNHW7KH&RPSDQ\SUHSDUHVRSHUDWLQJFDVKŴRZ forecasts based on the most recent budgets approved by the Boards of Directors of the subsidiaries, draws up four-year forecasts and determines the terminal value (current value of perpetual income), which expresses the medium and long term operating ŴRZVLQWKHVSHFLƓFVHFWRU

Furthermore, the Company checks the recoverable value of its subsidiaries at least once D\HDUZKHQWKHVHSDUDWHƓQDQFLDOVWDWHPHQWVDUHSUHSDUHG

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be lower than its carrying value, the asset's carrying value is reduced to the lower recoverable amount, recognising impairment of value in the income statement.

When there is no longer any reason for a write-down to be maintained, the carrying value of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the new value stemming from the estimate of its recoverable amount – but not beyond the net carrying value that the asset would have had if it had not been written down for impairment of value. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of purchase or production cost – determined using the weighted average cost method – and the corresponding fair value represented by the replacement cost for purchased materials and by the presumed realisable YDOXHIRUƓQLVKHG DQG VHPLSURFHVVHGSURGXFWV Ŋ FDOFXODWHGWDNLQJ LQWR DFFRXQW DQ\ manufacturing costs and direct selling costs yet to be incurred. Inventory cost includes accessory costs and the portion of direct and indirect manufacturing costs that can reasonably be assigned to inventory items. Inventories subject to obsolescence and low turnover are written down in relation to their possibility of use or realisation. Inventory write-downs are eliminated in subsequent years if the reasons for such write-downs cease to exist.

Receivables

Receivables are recognised at their presumed realisable value. Their face value is DGMXVWHGWRDORZHUUHDOLVDEOHYDOXHYLDVSHFLƓFSURYLVLRQLQJGLUHFWO\UHGXFLQJWKHLWHP based on in-depth analysis of individual positions. Trade receivables assigned on a no-recourse basis, despite being transferred legally, continue to be stated with "Trade receivables" until they are collected. Advance payments obtained with regard to the sale of trade receivables are recognised under current loans.

Payables

Payables are recognised at face value; the portion of interest included in their face value and not yet payable at period-end is deferred to future periods.

Policy for conversion of foreign currency items

Receivables and payables originally expressed in foreign currencies are converted into euro at the exchange rates in force on the date of the transactions originating them. Forex differences realised upon collection of receivables and payment of payables in foreign currency are posted in the income statement. Income and costs relating to foreign-currency transactions are converted at the rate in force on the transaction date. At year-end, assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are posted at the spot exchange rate in force at year-end and related foreign exchange gains and losses are posted in the income statement. If conversion generates a net gain, this value constitutes a non-distributable reserve until it is effectively realised.

For effective hedges of exposure to changes in fair value, the item hedged is adjusted for the changes in fair value attributable to the risk hedged and recognised in the income statement. Gains and losses stemming from the derivative's valuation are also posted in the income statement.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognised in the income statement in the period when they occur.

Income taxes for the year

Income taxes include all taxes calculated on the Company's taxable income. Income taxes are directly recognised in the income statement, with the exception of those concerning items directly debited or credited to shareholders' equity, in which case the tax effect is recognised directly in shareholders' equity. Other taxes not relating to income, such as property taxes, are included among operating expenses. Deferred taxes are provisioned in accordance with the global liability provisioning method. They are calculated on all temporary differences that emerge from the taxable base of an asset or liability and its book value. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when income taxes are levied by the same tax authority and when there is a legal right to settle on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to be applicable in the years when temporary differences will be realised or settled.

Dividends

Dividends are posted on an accrual basis when the right to receive them materialises, i.e. when shareholders approve dividend distribution.

Treasury shares

Use of estimates

3UHSDUDWLRQ RI WKH VHSDUDWH ƓQDQFLDO VWDWHPHQWV LQ DFFRUGDQFH ZLWK IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the disclosures on contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date. Actual results might differ from these estimates. Estimates are used to measure tangible and intangible assets and investments subject to impairment testing, as described earlier, as well as to measure the ability to recover prepaid tax assets, credit risks, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and amortisation, asset write-GRZQVHPSOR\HHEHQHƓWVWD[HVRWKHUSURYLVLRQVDQGUHVHUYHV6SHFLƓFDOO\

Recoverability of value of tangible and intangible assets and investments

The procedure for determining impairment of value of tangible and intangible assets described in "Impairment of value" implies – in estimating the value of use – the use of the Business Plans of subsidiaries, which are based on a series of assumptions and hypotheses relating to future events and actions of the subsidiaries' management bodies, which may not necessarily come about. In estimating market value, however, assumptions are made on the expected trend in trading between third parties based on historical trends, which may not actually be repeated.

Provisions for credit risks

Credit is adjusted by the related provision for doubtful accounts to take into account its recoverable value. To determine the size of the write-downs, management must make subjective assessments based on the documentation and information available regarding, among other things, the customer's solvency, as well as experience and historical payment trends.

Provisions for inventory obsolescence

Warehouse inventories subject to obsolescence and slow turnover are systematically valued, and written down if their recoverable value is less than their carrying value. Write-downs are calculated based on management assumptions and estimates, resulting from experience and historical results.

Income tax

Determining liabilities for Company taxes requires the use of management valuations in relation to transactions whose tax implications are not certain on the balance sheet date.

The fall in outsourced processing costs was due to the partial insourcing of certain phases of burner production. The reduction in energy costs results from the reduction LQWKHSULFHRIHOHFWULFDOHQHUJ\DQGJDVRQDYHUDJHFRPSDUHGZLWK DQG from reduced consumption. The increase in maintenance costs is linked to the normal cyclicality of maintenance operations; the maintenance policies, aimed at guaranteeing FRQVWDQWHIƓFLHQF\RIDOOWKHSURGXFWLRQSODQWVGLGQRWUHJLVWHUDQ\FKDQJHV7KHLQFUHDVH in insurance costs is attributable to the introduction of a commercial insurance cover policy (simultaneously no-recourse factoring commissions, previously the prevalent form of credit guarantee, were reduced).

Other costs included charges by customers, expenses for the registration of patents, leasing third-party assets, cleaning costs and other minor charges.

and smaller manufacturers in a few or single markets. The Company assesses the creditworthiness of all its customers at the start of supply and systemically on at least an annual basis. After this assessment, each client is assigned a credit limit.

A credit insurance policy is in place, which guarantees cover for approximately 60% of trade receivables.

Credit risk relating to customers operating in emerging economies is generally attenuated by the expectation of revenue through letters of credit.

Forex risk management

The main exchange rate to which the Company is exposed is the euro/USD in relation to sales made in dollars (mainly in North America) and, to a lesser extent, to some purchases (mainly from Asian manufacturers). Sales in US dollars represented 7.7% of total revenue in 2015, while purchases in dollars represented 3.7% of total revenue. The operations in dollars were partially hedged through forward sales contracts. At 31 December 2015 there were forward sales of dollars, maturing on 31 December 2016, IRUDWRWDORI86'PLOOLRQ

BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SABAF S.P.A. SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

pursuant to article 2429, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code and article 153 of Legislative Decree 58/1998

Shareholders,

We hereby report to you on the supervisory activities carried out during 2015.

7KLVUHSRUWLVSUHSDUHGSXUVXDQWWRDUWLFOHSDUDJUDSKRIWKH&LYLO&RGHDQGDUWLFOHRI /HJLVODWLYH'HFUHHWDNLQJLQWRDFFRXQW&RQVREUHFRPPHQGDWLRQVWKHFRGHVRIFRQGXFW for boards of statutory auditors issued by the Italian Association of Chartered Accountants and the guidelines contained in the Corporate Governance Code of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., to which your Company adheres. We recall that the current Board of Statutory Auditors was nominated at the Shareholders' Meeting held on 5 May 2015 and that, therefore, it began its supervisory activities as of that date. The activities performed are reported below.

1. Supervision of compliance with the law and Articles of Incorporation and adherence to principles of proper management

Since its nomination on 31 December 2015, the Board of Statutory Auditors has met four times, with all members attending on each occasion. The Board has also attended six meetings of the Board of Directors, three meetings of the Control and Risks Committee and one meeting between the Company's Control Bodies (Board of Statutory Auditors, Control and Risks Committee, Supervisory %RG)LQDQFLDO5HSRUWLQJ2IƓFHU&KLHI,QWHUQDO\$XGLWRU,QGHSHQGHQW\$XGLWRU

In turn, during the period between 1 January 2015 and 5 May 2015, the preceding Board of Statutory Auditors attended two meetings of the Board of Directors, one meeting of the Control and Risks Committee, one meeting between the Company's Control Bodies, and the Shareholders' Meeting held on 5 May 2015.

During the meetings of the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors received information RQJHQHUDOSHUIRUPDQFHWKHEXVLQHVVRXWORRN DQGWKHPRVW VLJQLƓFDQWEXVLQHVVƓQDQFLDO DQG equity transactions performed by the Company and its subsidiaries. In this regard we note that in 2015:

  • we did not identify or receive information of atypical and/or unusual transactions with third SDUWLHVUHODWHGSDUWLHVRUZLWKLQWKHJURXS7KLVZDVDOVRFRQƓUPHGE\WKH'LUHFWRUVLQWKHLU Report on Operations;
  • QRVLJQLƓFDQWWUDQVDFWLRQVKDYHEHHQFDUULHGRXWWKDWZRXOGUHTXLUHPHQWLRQLQWKLVUHSRUW
  • intragroup and other related-party transactions were ordinary in nature and of minor importance compared with Group activity as a whole, as described in note 37 of the Separate Financial Statements and the corresponding note in the Consolidated Financial Statements, to which the reader is referred. The Board of Statutory Auditors believes that the conditions under which these transactions were carried out are legitimate and aligned with the Company's interests.
  • The Board of Statutory Auditors has expressed its favourable opinion, in the following cases:
  • division among the Directors of the fees decided by the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • allocation of special fees to certain Executive Directors;
  • DSSRLQWPHQWRIWKH)LQDQFLDO5HSRUWLQJ2IƓFHU
  • appointment of the Internal Audit Manager, allocation of adequate resources to perform his/ her duties and determination of remuneration in accordance with company policies;
  • work plan prepared by the Internal Audit Manager,

In conclusion, on the basis of the activity performed, no violations of the law and/or Articles of Incorporation were found, or any manifestly imprudent or risky transactions, or transactions with SRWHQWLDOFRQŴLFWVRILQWHUHVWRUVXFKWKDWFRXOGFRPSURPLVHWKHFRPSDQ\ōVDVVHWV

2. Supervisory activities on the adequacy of the organisational structure and internal control system

The Board of Statutory Auditors ensured the existence of an adequate organisational structure in relation to the size of the business.

In this regard we recall that the Company has for a long time adopted an Organisational Model in accordance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 231/2001. In the event of organisational and/ or regulatory changes, this model is periodically updated. The model is currently being adapted to recent regulatory changes introduced by lawmakers.

During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors has maintained a constant exchange of information with the Supervisory Body.

The information obtained does not show any critical issues with regard to the proper implementation of the organisational model that would require mention in this report.

The Board of Statutory Auditors considers the internal control system to be adequate and acknowledges that it has no observations to make to the Shareholders' Meeting.

  • The information sources on which the Board of Statutory Auditors has based its assessment are:
