9. DECISION TO DELAY THE PUBLICATION OF THE PRIVILEGED INFORMATION
- 9.1 Once the information shall be classified as Privileged, the Responsible of the Procedure shall simultaneously decide whether to proceed with its publication or to delay it as the conditions laid down in the following Article exist. More specifically, the Responsible has the power to:
- Delay the communication;
- Identify the reasons for the delay;
- Decide the moment in which to disseminate the Privileged Information.
- 9.2 In accordance with Art. 17 of MAR Regulation, the Company can delay, on it own responsibility, the communication of the Privileged Information if the following conditions exist:
- (i) The immediate communication may prejudice the legitimate interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
- (ii) The delay may not have the effect to mislead the public;
- (iii) If the conditions in points (i) and (ii) exist, the Company can delay the publication only if guarantee its confidentiality.
These conditions apply also to those information related to lengthy procedures.
- 9.3 When assessing the existence of the aforementioned conditions, the Responsible of the Procedure takes into account the provisions established in ESMA Guidelines.
- 9.4 On the basis of ESMA Guidelines, it is fair to assume that, by way of non-limiting example, the Legitimate Interests are affected in the following cases:
- Existence of negotiations that might be affected by an immediate communication to the public of Privileged Information (e.g. negotiations related to mergers, purchases, divisions and demergers, purchases or transfers of relevant activities or of business branches, reorganisations and restructuring);
- Existence of decisions taken or agreements signed by a body needing the approval of another body;
- The development of new products or inventions whose immediate communication to the public could affect the intellectual property rights of the Company or of its Subsidiaries;
- The intention of the Company or its Subsidiaries to sell or purchase a significant holding in another broadcaster;
- The subordination of the authorization of an extraordinary operation to the fulfilment of specific conditions by an authority;
- The financial sustainability of the Company or its Subsidiaries is put in great and imminent jeopardy, not only with reference to the application of insolvency procedures, and the

immediate communication to the public of relevant Privileged Information might affect the interests of current and/or potential stakeholders, thus jeopardising the financial recovery of the Company - it is understood that the case at hand does not refer to the possibility to delay the publication of a Privileged Information related to a temporary liquidity problem in order to protect the stability of the financial system pursuant to Art. 17 of the MAR.
Nevertheless, the existence of one or more of the aforementioned conditions does not constitute per se a sufficient justification to apply a Delay. For the purposes of the Delay, the Company bears the burden of providing an appropriate identification of the reasons underlying the decision for which a specific interest might be affected by the immediate communication of any relevant Privileged Information.
- 9.5 In accordance to ESMA Guidelines, a delay is understood as misleading for the public, by way of non-limiting example, in the events in which the Privileged Information object of the delay:
- Is significantly different from a previous public announcement made by the Company regarding a matter to which the Privileged Information is related;
- Involves the probable failure to reach the Company's or the Group's financial goals, in the event that said goals were previously communicated publicly.
- Is in contrast with the market's expectations, in the event that said expectations are based on communications previously given by the Company (by way of non-limiting example: interviews, mobile promotion campaigns or other type of communication organised by the Company and/or by its Subsidiaries and/or by the Group).
- 9.6 In the presence of the aforementioned conditions, the Responsible of the Procedure or, in his/her absence, the individual delegated by him/her shall decide whether to delay the publication of the specific Privileged Information at hand and, in the event of a decision to delay said communication, shall draft, together with the company offices involved on each occasion, a report on such decision, specifying the reasons underlying the decision and inserting all information required by law. In any case, the report shall include the following minimum content:
−Date and time in which the information became Privileged;
−Date and time in which the Company has reached the decision to delay the publication;
− Reasons regarding the decision to delay the publication;
− Identity of the individuals who took the decision or participated in its formation.
The report shall be retained duly signed in the Company's records for the following five years.
9.7 In the event that the Responsible decides to delay the communication, the decision shall be communicated to the Responsible Parties already aware of the Privileged Information, who are obliged to observe the provisions of the Procedure and the Company as far as the Privileged Information's secrecy is concerned.

- 9.8 The Responsible of the Procedure or the subjects delegated by him shall monitor the fulfilment of the conditions set out in Art. 9.2. In the event that these conditions are no longer met, he/she shall publish the Privileged Information as soon as possible.
- 9.9 In the event that the Company or one of the Responsible Parties communicates, willingly or not, the Privileged information to a third party not bounded by any obligation of confidentiality, the Company shall give full and effective communication to the public of the same information as described in this Procedure.
- 9.10 In the event that the information loses its Privileged status, the Company shall not be obliged to publish it. This decision shall always be taken by the Responsible of the Procedure.
10. DISCLOSURE OF PRIVILEGED INFORMATION
