Press Release
Rome, 16 April 2021 – Today's meeting of the Board of Directors of Atlantia SpA, chaired by Fabio Cerchiai, has decided to call an Ordinary General Meeting ("OGM") of the Company's shareholders to be held in single call by 28 May 2021 to examine the binding offer to acquire Atlantia's entire 88% stake in Autostrade per l'Italia SpA ("ASPI") submitted by the consortium consisting of CDP Equity SpA, Blackstone Infrastructure Advisors LLC and Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (Europe) Limited, also in consideration of the expiry of such offer today.
Whilst aware that, in principle, the matter falls within the competence of the Board of Directors, the exceptional nature of the transaction, the relevance of the asset to be sold and the views expressed by a number of shareholders on this matter have led the Board to call a General Meeting in order to gauge the related views of shareholders.
Based on authoritative legal opinions, the Board of Directors has also decided that the most appropriate forum for conducting such an examination is the Ordinary General Meeting. This decision reflects the fact that, under Italian law, each time shareholders are called to a meeting in accordance with the law or the articles of association in order to resolve on matters relating to the Company's management, the meeting adopts resolutions in accordance with the procedures and the majorities provided for ordinary general meetings.

A new Board meeting will be called before 23 April to examine the content of the offer in order to ensure that all aspects of the related background, the transaction, the Board's own views on the fairness of the offer and any alternative scenarios are fully covered in the explanatory report to be published within the legal required deadline.
The Board will thus have the opportunity to evaluate any changes to the offer that the Consortium might submit in the meantime in light of the requests for improvement made by Atlantia.
Only after the OGM has voted – and, in any event by 28 May 2021, current date on which the offer will cease to be valid after the call of the OGM – the Board will meet to take a final decision on this matter.
