It is hereby noted that, as communicated pursuant to applicable legislation, the increase of voting rights has become effective for certain shareholders. The amount of voting rights is published on the Company's website in accordance with the terms set out by article 85-bis, paragraph 4-bis, of the regulation issued by Consob with resolution no. 11971 of 1999 (as subsequently amended and supplemented) (the "Issuers Regulations") and will be updated in case of normative changes.

According to article 127-ter of the TUF, any person entitled to vote may raise questions on the items on the agenda also prior to the shareholders' meeting provided they do so by the seven previous open market days before the date of the shareholders' meetings (in other words by 20 April 2022) via certified email to be sent to the following address: [email protected], accompanied by a notice issued by the qualified intermediary attesting the right to exercise a vote.

With reference to the second item on the agenda, it should be recalled that under article 14 of the Company's by-laws, the election of the directors will be carried out on the basis of the lists that may be submitted by the shareholders who, either individually or collectively with other shareholders, represent at least 2.5% of the Company's share capital. The lists shall be filed at the Company's registered office at least 25 (twenty-five) days prior to the scheduled date of the Shareholders' Meeting (or, in other words, by 4 April 2022). The lists may also be filed by certified e-mail to the following address [email protected]. Each list presenting at least 3 (three) candidates shall contain a number of candidates of the less represented gender equal to at least the minimum required under the applicable laws and regulations. Together with each list and within the same deadline, the following information and documents shall also be filed: (i) the information related to both the identity of the shareholders who submitted the list and the percentage of shareholding held by the same; (ii) the declarations through which the individual candidates accept their office and certify, under their own responsibility, that no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility exist, and that the requirements provided under applicable laws and regulations to persons holding the role of director of the Company are met including the declaration of the nonexistence, against him/her, of causes of ineligibility pursuant to art. 2382 of the Italian Civil Code and of disqualifications from holding the office of director adopted against him/her in a member State of the European Union; (iii) the candidates' declarations on whether or not the independence requirements are met, rendered under their own responsibility in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; and (iv) the curricula vitae setting forth each candidate's personal and professional characteristics, indicating the management and control roles held in other companies. The lists submitted without complying with the foregoing provisions will be considered as not submitted at all. Lastly, it should be recalled that Consob Notice No. DEM/9017893 dated 26 February 2009 recommends, on the occasion of the election of the Board of Directors, that the shareholders who submit a "minority list" shall also file, together with the list of candidates, a declaration that certifies the absence of any relationships, including indirect relationships, within the meaning set forth in article 147-ter, paragraph 3, of the TUF and article 144-quinquies of the Issuers Regulations, as amended and supplemented, with shareholders who hold, even on a collective basis, a controlling or relative majority shareholding. It should also be noted that under the Company's by-laws, the first candidate on the list that receives the highest number of votes at the shareholders' meeting will be appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The lists shall be made available to the public, by way of publication on the Company's website and through the authorized storage mechanism emarketstorage, at the address , no later than twenty-one days before the date of the shareholders' meeting, therefore by 8 April 2022.


With reference to the third item on the agenda, it should be recalled that under article 22 of the bylaws, the election of the statutory auditors will be carried out on the basis of lists that may be submitted by shareholders who, either individually or collectively with other shareholders, represent at least 2.5% of the share capital. The lists, each of which shall be comprised of two sections, one setting forth candidates for the role of standing statutory auditors and the other setting forth the candidates for the role of alternate statutory auditors, shall be filed at the Company's registered office at least 25 (twenty-five) days prior to the scheduled date of the shareholders' meeting (i.e., by 4 April 2022). The list may also be filed by certified email to the following address [email protected]. Each list which, considering both sections, presents at least 3 (three) candidates shall contain a number of candidates of the less represented gender at least equal to the minimum required under the applicable laws and regulations. If the section containing the candidates for the role of alternate statutory auditors indicates at least 2 (two) candidates, such candidates shall be of different genders. Together with each list, the following information and documents shall be filed by the above-mentioned deadline: (i) information on the identity of the shareholders who submitted the list and the total shareholding held by them; (ii) the declarations through which the individual candidates accept their office and certify, under their own responsibility, that no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility exist, including with reference to the limit on the number of roles that may be simultaneously held, and that the requirements provided under the applicable laws and the by-laws with regard to the respective roles are met; (iii) the curricula vitae setting forth each candidate's personal and professional characteristics, indicating the management and control positions held in other companies. In addition to what is provided under the abovementioned points, in the event of submission of a list by shareholders other than those who hold, including jointly, a controlling or relative majority shareholding in the Company, such list shall be accompanied by a declaration by the shareholders submitting it certifying that no relationships exist with one or more of the major shareholders, as such term is defined under the applicable legal framework. It should be recalled that under article 144-sexies, paragraph 5, of the Issuers Regulations, if upon the expiry of the twenty-fifth day prior to the shareholders' meeting only one list has been submitted for the appointment of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, or the only lists submitted were those submitted by shareholders who, on the basis of the provisions of section 144-sexies, paragraph 4, of the Issuers Regulations, are interconnected within the meaning set forth in section 144-quinquies of the Issuers Regulations, the lists may be submitted until the third day after such date (or, in other words, by 7 April 2022). In this case, the shareholding required to submit the lists (2.5% of the share capital) is reduced to one half such percentage. The lists submitted without complying with the relevant provisions of the by-laws shall be considered as not submitted at all. It should also be noted that under applicable provisions of law and the bylaws, the first candidate of the minority list that receives the highest number of votes and that is not linked in any way to the majority list will be appointed as Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors. Lastly, it should be recalled that the Code of Corporate Governance currently in force and applicable to listed companies recommends that the statutory auditors of listed companies shall be selected among persons who may be qualified as independent also on the basis of the independence criteria provided for directors by the same Code.
The lists shall be made available to the public, by way of publication on the Company's website and through the authorized storage mechanism emarketstorage, at the address , no later than twenty-one days before the date of the shareholders' meeting, therefore by 8 April 2022.
