The authorization to purchase was granted for a period of 18 months starting from the date of the shareholders' resolution; on the other hand, the authorization for the disposal of treasury shares does not envisage any time limit.
The purposes of the Plan are as follows:

Purchases shall be carried out at a unit price that is not more than 20% lower or higher than the reference price recorded by the MAPS stock in the stock exchange session on the day prior to each single transaction, in any case, without prejudice to the maximum price of Euro 2,000,000, in compliance with the terms and conditions set out by applicable regulations, also EU, and market practices in force from time to time, where applicable, and in particular: (i) no shares may be purchased at a price greater than the higher of the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent purchase offer on the trading venue where the purchase is made; (ii) in terms of volume, the daily purchase quantities shall not exceed 25% of the average daily trading volume of the MAPS stock over the 20 trading days preceding the purchase dates.
