in the case of purchases made on regulated markets, or by employees, at a unitary consideration that cannot be less than 20% and higher than 20% compared to the official price recorded by the Company's ordinary shares on the trading day prior to each single purchase transaction;

without prejudice to the provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, at a consideration that is not higher than the higher price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent purchase offer present in the trading venue where the purchase is made.

For the disposal of own shares, it was resolved that they take place according to times and conditions that will be deemed best suited to the interests of Esprinet, taking into account the stock market prices recorded in the periods immediately prior to the date of each individual disposal operation.

The purchase authorization of treasury shares has a duration of 18 months, equal to the maximum period allowed by civil law. The disposition, in one or more solutions, of the own shares purchased does not provide for any time limit.
