In addition, the Board of Directors has resolved to convene the Shareholders' Meeting for 24 April 2018.

"The end of 2017 shows clearly the growth of financial and equity performance compared to 2016 – comments the CEO of Openjobmetis, Rosario Rasizza – These results were achieved through a mix of factors, from the stable growth of our country, to the confidence that companies have regained and to the strategic choices made in the past which have focused the business on contract work, a very rapidly growing sector. Today, we are laying the foundations for the next few years, with new projects and new proposals for the market, in line with the technological and digital innovations under way which will also lead, in our opinion, to a change in the demand for services and personnel by the companies. This is the time to plan an expansion of our services and products by combining innovative solutions and leveraging on our 7,000 and more acquired customers. Two years after our début in Piazza Affari - concludes Rosario Rasizza "our free float, at 68%, is held by institutional investors with international standing which is an encouraging data in the continuous development and improvement of our operating processes".

INCOME STATEMENT

Sales revenue for the entire 2017 year amounted to €583.9 million, against €460.9 million in the previous year. The 26.7% (€122.9 million) increase from 2016 is mainly due to higher revenue from the core business, namely "contract work", from €454.0 million in 2016 to €576.2 million (+122.1 million, i.e. 26.9%) in 2017 and to revenue from "personnel search and recruitment" and other revenue.

EBITDA stood at €22.0 million compared with the €17.0 million of 2016, thus showing a 29.8% increase due primarily to the increase in the first contribution margin, standing at €71.9 million compared with €60.2 million in 2016 (+19.3%). The EBITDA, adjusted for non-recurrent components, related to due diligence activities carried out during the year, was €22.2 million in 2017 versus €17.2 million of the previous year.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORISATION FOR THE PURCHASE AND DISPOSITION OF TREASURY SHARES

The Board of Directors has resolved to submit to the next Shareholders' Meeting a request for authorisation to carry out the purchase and disposition of treasury shares. The authorisation will enable the use of the treasury shares as a consideration in extraordinary transactions, in the interest of the issuer, with other subjects, including exchange, contribution, trade transactions or transactions carried out on the share capital or other corporate and/or financial transactions of an extraordinary nature or funding operations or to fulfil obligations arising from share-based incentive plans, distribution programmes, whether for consideration or not, share option plans or shares for Directors, employees and collaborators of the issuer or for Directors, employees and collaborators of companies under its control, as well as plans for the allocation of bonus shares to the Shareholders. The request is for authorising the Board of Directors to purchase ordinary shares (fully released) of the Company, one or more times, to the extent to be freely determined by the Board of Directors up to a maximum number of shares so as not to exceed 5% of the share capital pro-tempore of Openjobmetis S.p.A, with regard to the treasury shares owned directly by the Company and those potentially owned by its subsidiaries, if any.

In all events, the purchases shall be carried out – in compliance with the provisions of article 2357, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code – within the limits of the distributed dividends and of the provisions available, as per the Company's most recent Financial Statements, properly approved.

Authorisation for the purchase of treasury shares is requested for the maximum duration permitted by article 2357, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code and therefore for a period of 18 months from the date when the Shareholders' Meeting issues the related resolution. The Board may proceed with the authorized operations one or more times and at any time. The afore-mentioned time limit of 18 months does not apply to operations for the disposition and/or utilisation of the treasury shares that may have been purchased in compliance with the authorisation granted by the shareholders' meeting.

The purchase price of the shares will be determined each time based on the methods chosen for carrying out the transaction and pursuant to any applicable law and regulatory provision, both national and EU, or to the market practices which are to be adopted, but in all events, must not be either lower or higher than 10% of the official price recorded by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. at the session of the day prior to each transaction.

The sale or disposition of treasury shares in the portfolio, if executed in the form of money, must be carried out at a price per share to be determined based on the criteria accepted by the current market practices at that time and in all cases at a price that cannot be lower than 5% of the reference price recorded by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. at the session of the day prior to each transaction.

If the sale or disposition transactions are carried out within the scope of extraordinary transactions, including exchange, contribution, trade transactions or transactions carried out on the share capital or other corporate and/or financial transactions of an extraordinary nature or funding operations, they must be carried out according to the price limits and the terms and conditions to be freely determined by the Board of Directors, in consideration also of the financial terms and conditions of the transactions.

As regards the shares related to share incentive plans, the disposition of the shares must occur according to the methods and the terms set forth in the regulations of the plans themselves.

The purchase of treasury shares may be carried out according to any of the methods set forth in the combined provisions of articles 132 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 and 144-bis of 24 February 1998, letters a), b), d) and d)-ter of the Issuers Regulations, adopted by Consob with resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended, taking into consideration the specific exemption set out in paragraph 3 of the same article 132 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, and in all cases, according to any other method permitted by the applicable laws and regulations, both national and EU, and in compliance with any other applicable laws, including legislative and regulatory provisions, national and EU, also regarding market abuses, with the sole exception of the purchasing methods set forth in article 144-bis, letter c) of the Issuers' Regulations.

The purchase of treasury shares cannot be carried out prior to share capital reduction through the cancellation of the purchased treasury shares.

The report by the Board of Directors concerning the proposal for the purchase and disposition of treasury shares will be made available to the public according to the terms and the methods under the applicable laws
