Rimini, 14 March 2023
For the Board of Directors The Chairman Ugo Ravanelli
- AUTHORISATION TO PURCHASE, ALIENATE AND DISPOSAL TREASURY SHARES; AFTER WITHDRAWAL OF THE AUTHORIZATION CONFERRED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF 28 APRIL 2022 FOR THE PART NOT CARRIED OUT, RELATED AND CONSEQUENT RESOLUTIONS.
Dear Shareholders,
this report illustrates the proposal that the Board of Directors of MARR intends to submit for your approval in relation to the authorisation to purchase, alienate and disposal of treasury shares.
The Board of Directors first recalls that the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2022 authorized the purchase, in one or more tranches, of ordinary shares up to a maximum number that does not exceed 5% of the share capital, or within the limits pursuant to art. 2357 paragraph 3 of the Civil Code.
At the date of approval of this report, MARR's subscribed and paid-up share capital amounts to Euro 33,262,560 and is divided into no. 66,525,120 ordinary shares with a nominal value of Euro 0.50 and the total amount of treasury shares held is equal to 462,360 (representing 0.70% of the share capital).
The Board of Directors believes that the reasons which led to the request to the Shareholders' Meeting for authorization to proceed with the purchase and disposal of treasury shares are to be considered still valid. Given the above, in consideration of the expiry (October 28, 2023) of the resolution authorizing the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, and in order to allow the Company to retain the right to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, the Board of Directors deems it appropriate propose to the Shareholders' Meeting to issue a new authorization, for a similar period of 18 months, starting from the date of the related resolution, subject to revocation of the previous authorization resolution passed for the part not implemented.
The terms and methods for the purchase and disposal of the Company's treasury shares are indicated below, which the Board of Directors is submitting to you for the purpose of issuing - by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting convened for 28 April 2023 - the relative authorisation.
1. Reasons for which the authorization for the purchase, sale and disposal of treasury shares is requested.
As noted above, the authorization period for the purchase and sale of treasury shares resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2022 will end within a few months; therefore the Board of Directors deems it useful and appropriate to propose to the Shareholders to proceed with the issue of a new authorization for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, in compliance with current legislation, as better specified below, subject to revocation of the aforementioned authorization resolution taken on 28 April 2022 for the unexecuted part. Pursuant to the provisions of articles 2357 and 2357-ter code civ., as well as those pursuant to art. 132 TUF, this authorization is aimed, in the interest of the Company:
a) to carry out, directly or through intermediaries, any investment transactions also to contain anomalous movements in listing, to regularize the trend of trading and prices and to support the liquidity of the security on the market, so as to favor the regular conduct of trading outside of the normal variations linked to market trends, without prejudice in any case to compliance with current provisions;
b) to carry out, in line with the Company's strategic guidelines, capital transactions or other transactions in relation to which it is necessary or advisable to proceed with the exchange or sale of share packages to be carried out by means of exchange, transfer or other act of disposal.
The request for authorization concerns the faculty of the Board of Directors to carry out repeated and successive purchase and sale transactions (or other deeds of disposal) of treasury shares on a revolving basis (so-called revolving), even for fractions of the maximum authorized quantity, so that , at all times, the quantity of shares subject to the proposed purchase and owned by the Company does not exceed the limits established by law and by the authorization of the Shareholders' Meeting.
2. Maximum number and category of the shares involved in the authorisation.
Pursuant to art. 2357, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, the authorisation is required for the purchase, even in several tranches, of ordinary MARR shares, up to a maximum number that, taking into account the ordinary MARR shares from time to time held in the portfolio of the Company, does not exceed in overall terms 5% of the share capital, and thus within the limits set forth in art. 2357, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, for purchases made pursuant to art. 144-bis, paragraph 1, sub. c) of the Issuer Regulation.
3. Useful information for an accurate evaluation of the respect of the disposition in art. 2357, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code.
With reference to the maximum spending limit, the Board of Directors recalls that, pursuant to art. 2357, first paragraph, of the Civil Code, the purchase of treasury shares is permitted within the limits of the distributable profits and available reserves resulting from the latest duly approved financial statements at the time of carrying out each transaction. It should be noted that the purchase and disposal operations will take place in compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions and will be accounted for according to the applicable accounting principles.
4. Duration of the authorisation.
The authorisation for the purchase of treasury shares is requested for the maximum duration allowed by the law, set by art. 2357, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code as eighteen months as of the date of the resolution approving this proposal by the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. if the authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares is approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023, until 28 October 2024).
Within the duration of the authorisation eventually granted, the Board of Directors may therefore purchase treasury shares once or more times and at any time, in the measure and timeframes to be determined freely in respect of the applicable laws, with the graduality deemed opportune in the interest of the Company.
The authorisation for the disposition and/or use of the treasury shares in the portfolio or that are to be purchased can be requested without time limitations, due to the absence of time limitations pursuant to the laws in force and the opportunity to enable the Board of Directors to benefit from the maximum flexibility, also in terms of time, to prepare the deeds of disposition of the shares.
5. Minimum and maximum amount.
The Board of Directors proposes that the price for the purchase of the shares in the scope of this report be determined from time to time, with regard to the method selected for carrying out the transaction and in respect of any regulatory prescriptions or market practices admitted, but may not in any event be more than 10% in excess or more than 10% less than the reference price on the Market Regulated by Euronext Milan (EXM) in the trading session prior to each single transaction.
The Board of Directors proposes that it be authorised to alienate, dispose and/or use, pursuant to art. 2357-ter of the Civil Code, under any title whatever and at any time, fully or in part, once or more times, the shares purchased for the purposes described in the preceding paragraph 1, according to the methods, terms and conditions determined as and when required by the Board of Directors, it holding firm that the sale price of the shares may not be less than 85% (eighty-five percent) of the average of the official trading prices recorded on the Market Regulated by Euronext Milan (EXM) in the two trading days prior to sale, with regard to the methods selected and effectively used for the realisation of the transaction, the performance of the MARR share prices and in the best interest of the Company, it holding firm that the returns from any eventual deed of disposition of the treasury shares may be used for the purchase of additional shares until such time as the expiry of the authorisation requested of the shareholders' meeting, and within the limits therein and of the laws in force.
6. Methods of carrying out purchases and alienations.
Treasury shares will be purchased on the stock market, according to the operating methods established in the organisational and management regulations of said markets and in respect of the laws in force, in particular art. 1 32 of the TUF, with specific regard to the principle of equal treatment of the Shareholders, art. 144-bis of the Issuer Regulation.
With regard to the operations for the disposition of treasury shares, the Board of Directors proposes that these be carried out in any method deemed opportune in the interest of the Company, in respect of the legal and regulatory dispositions in force from time to time and for the achievement of the purposes of which in this resolution proposal, to be carried out both directly and through intermediaries.
It must be noted that the purchase of treasury shares is not instrumental to the reduction of the share capital of the Company by annulment of the treasury shares purchased, without prejudice to the right for the Company, should the Shareholders' Meeting decide in the future to reduce the share capital, to implement it also by annulment the treasury shares held in the portfolio.
That said, we submit the following proposed resolution for your approval:
