(Report pursuant to Article 73 and Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulations)
First of all, we would like to remind you that 12 October 2021 saw the expiration of the 18 month authorisation to purchase own shares and to dispose of all or part of the own shares purchased without time limits and even before having completed the purchases. The authorisation was granted to the Company by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2020.
During the validity period of the above-mentioned authorisation to purchase own shares, the Company did not purchase any own shares and, therefore, as of today, it holds 273,758 own shares, equal to 0.38 % of the share capital.
For the reasons set out below, we therefore propose that you grant an authorisation to purchase and dispose of own shares in accordance with Articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.
The purchase of the Company's ordinary shares will be carried out in accordance with the existing rules for listed companies of any other applicable EU and national laws.
See below for the reasons and procedures for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares whose authorisation we request.
The Board of Directors is requesting this authorisation because it believes that the purchase of treasury shares could represent an attractive investment opportunity and/or may be instrumental in improving the financial structure of the Company, as well as facilitating any agreements that presuppose the exchange of share packages.
The authorisation is also requested to dispose of treasury shares to be used as part of share incentive plans adopted as required by law, or as part of any bond issues convertible into Company shares.
Authorisation is requested to carry out transactions, under the laws and regulations in force, to stabilise share price movements linked to contingent market anomalies, improving the liquidity of the shares.
We propose that the Shareholders' Meeting, under the conditions and within limits specified below, authorise the Board of Directors to dispose of shares purchased, in addition to those already held. We consider this option an important tool of management and strategic flexibility.
The purchase mandate requested applies to the Company's ordinary shares without par value and, under Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, may not exceed 5% of the share capital, including shares held by the Company and its subsidiaries at today's date. The subsidiaries will receive instructions for the timely notification of any purchases of shares in Fiera Milano SpA to ensure compliance with the aforementioned overall limit of 5% of the Company's share capital.
At the date of this Report, the Company's subscribed and paid-up share capital is Euro 42,445,141.00 (forty- two million four hundred and forty-five thousand one hundred and forty-one), and comprises 71,917,829 (seventy-one million nine hundred and seventeen thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine) registered shares without par value.
The consideration paid or received for transactions in treasury shares will be recorded directly under shareholders' equity as required by 'IAS 32' and the accounting treatment thereof will comply with regulations in force.
The share purchase authorisation is requested for a period of 18 months from the date of approval by the Shareholders' Meeting, while the authorisation to dispose of shares is requested without a time limit.
Without prejudice to the provisions of letter E) below, treasury shares may be purchased, in compliance with trading conditions established in Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (hereinafter "Regulation 1052") implementing Regulation (EU) 596/2014 and applicable provisions of the Italian Civil Code, at a price not greater than the higher price of the most recent independent transaction and the current highest independent price bid on the trading venues where the purchase is made. This is on the proviso that the unit price shall be neither lower nor higher than 10% of the reference price recorded for Fiera Milano shares on the MTA Market (Mercato Telematico Azionario) organised and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA in the trading session preceding each purchase transaction.
The shares may be sold, even before the purchase mandate has been exhausted, in one or more tranches, at a price not below the lowest purchase price.
This price limit will not apply if the shares are disposed of as part of share incentive plans. Should the shares be used as part of extraordinary transactions, by way of example and without limitation, share swaps, part- exchanges, conferrals or as part of equity transactions or other corporate and/or financial transactions and/ or other extraordinary transactions and any other non-cash disposal transaction, the Board of Directors will decide the financial terms of the transaction according to its type and characteristics, also taking account of the market performance of the Fiera Milano SpA shares.
The purchase of treasury shares may take place in one or more tranches, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations including, as appropriate, permitted market practices.
Purchases of treasury shares must be made pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of Regulation 1052, or applicable provisions of the Italian Civil Code, and in such a way as to ensure equal treatment for all shareholders in accordance with Article 132 of the Consolidated Finance Act, exclusively in the following ways:
Disposals may be made, on one or more occasions, even before the purchases have been completed, through sale on regulated and/or unregulated markets or off-market, by public offer, or as a consideration for the purchase of shareholdings and possibly for assignment to shareholders.
Given the above, we submit the following for your approval
"The Shareholders' Meeting of Fiera Milano S.p.A., having considered the proposal of the Board of Directors prepared according to Article 125-ter of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98, Article 73 of Consob Regulation no. 11971 by resolution dated 14 May 1999, and in accordance with Annex 3A – Table 4 of the same Regulation, and the proposal contained therein, taking into account the provisions of Article s 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code,
