Pursuant to art. 11 of the Articles of Association and art. 83-sexies of Legislative Decree 58/98 ("TUF"), each holder of at least one share at the end of the accounting day of 20 April 2016 (the record date) and for which the Company has received the relevant notification from the intermediary, is entitled to attend shareholders' meetings and to exercise voting rights. All those who become shareholders as a result of registrations made after the above-mentioned date will not be entitled to attend shareholders' meetings or to exercise voting rights.
Notification by the intermediary, as mentioned at the beginning of the previous paragraph, must be received by the Company by 26 April 2016, although the individual will also be considered entitled to vote if such notification arrives by the start of the meeting proceedings at the latest.
Pursuant to art. 127-ter of the TUF, shareholders are entitled to ask questions on agenda items before the shareholders' meeting, i.e. by 26 April 2016.

Shareholders who have asked questions must request the intermediary to send specific notification to the Company at [email protected], confirming that the requester holds the shares and will do so at the record date (20 April 2016). Where notification of entitlement to attend shareholders' meetings has been requested from the intermediary, it will be sufficient to note on the request the reference of such notification where issued by the intermediary or, at the very least, the name of the intermediary.
After verifying the relevance of the questions and the entitlement of the requester, responses will be given to questions received by 26 April 2016 during the meeting at the latest; the relevant bodies have the option of providing a single answer to similar or related questions.
Pursuant to art. 126-bis of the TUF, parties with voting rights that jointly or individually represent at least onefortieth of the share capital may, within ten days of publication of this notice, request the Company to add items to the agenda, indicating in their request the additional issues proposed, or make proposals relating to items already on the agenda.
