Own share

The Shareholders' Meeting authorised the purchase of a maximum of 1,440,000 ordinary Gefran S.p.A. shares with a nominal value of EUR 1 per share. Transactions, conducted pursuant to the laws in force, must be carried out within 18 months of the shareholders' authorisation.

In accordance with the procedures set out by the competent authorities, Gefran shall inform the market on a weekly basis of the number and average price of the shares purchased, the total number of shares and the total value of the investment as of the communication date.

General Remuneration Policy

Pursuant to article 123-ter of the TUF, the Shareholders' Meeting expressed a favourable view of the General Group Remuneration Policy adopted by Gefran.
