2.0 INFORMATION ON THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURES (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 1 of the TUF) as at 9 March 2018

a) Share capital structure (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter a) of the TUF)

Openjobmetis's share capital is represented by ordinary shares with the right to vote, admitted for listing on the screen-based stock exchange (MTA) - STAR segment - managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

The fully subscribed and paid in share capital amounts to Euro 13,712,000.00, divided up into 13,712,000 ordinary shares.

The ordinary shares are name-registered and indivisible. In general terms, each share provides the right to one vote, however - as envisaged by Art. 7 of the Articles of Association - each share provides the right to two votes (known as "increased vote") if the following conditions are met:

a) the share belongs to the same party for an on-going period of at least twenty-four months as from the date of enrolment in the special list established for the purpose, held and up-dated by the Company (the "Special List"); and
b) the existence of the conditions as per letter (a) above is demonstrated by a communication bearing witness to the possession of the share referring to the date of applicability of the ongoing period of twenty-four months, issued by the broker with whom the shares are deposited in accordance with applicable legislation.

The acquisition of the increased right to vote is effective as from the fifth open market day as from the end of each calendar month subsequent to that in which the conditions required by the Articles of Association for the increased right to vote occurred. Legitimation and ascertainment by the Company takes place with reference to the record date envisaged by current legislation on the right to participate and vote during the General Shareholders' Meetings.

The establishment and resolution quorums that refer to percentages of the share capital are established by calculating the increased voting rights (or loyalty voting rights) possibly due to the shareholder. The increase does not affect the rights, other than the voting right, due to the shareholder and exercisable by virtue of possession of specific percentages of share capital.

For the purposes of the on-going possession for twenty-four months - referred to in the previous letter a) - the period of on-going possession of the shares by the same party prior to the date of commencement of trading of the shares on an organised market is also reckoned, such possession having been certified on the basis of the registrations emerging from the shareholders' register at the time of application for enrolment of the legitimated party in the Special List.

The Company establishes and maintains the Special List for the legitimation benefiting the increased vote at the registered offices, as per the forms and the contents envisaged by applicable legislation and the Articles of Association.

The party who intends to benefit from the increased vote must present an application for enrolment in the Special List in accordance with Art. 7.5 and 7.6 of the Articles of Association, communicating – no later than six months from the date of commencement of trading or, if previous, within the day following the date of publication of the notice of call of the first General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company after the date of commencement of trading – the number of shares for which enrolment is requested (which may also concern just part of the shares held by the applicant party) accompanied by suitable certification and/or communication bearing witness to possession of the shares, issued by the broker with whom the shares are deposited as per applicable legislation. In the event of parties other than individuals, the application shall have to specify whether the party is subject to direct or indirect control of third parties, along with the identifying details of any parent company.

The increased vote already accrued or, if not accrued, the period of ownership necessary for the accrual of the increased vote, are maintained: (a) in the event of inheritance due to demise in favour of the heir and/or legatee; (b) in the event of merger or spin-off of the ownership of the shares in favour of the company as a result of merger or beneficiary of the spin-off; (c) in the event of transfer of a portfolio to another of the UCITs managed by the same party.

The increased vote extends to the shares:

(i) stemming from a share capital increase pursuant to Article 2442 of the Italian Civil Code due to the holder in relation to the shares for which the increased vote has already accrued (the "Loyalty Shares");
(ii) due in exchange of the Loyalty Shares in the event of merger or spin-off, provided that the merger or spin-off project envisages as such;
(iii) subscribed by the holder of the Loyalty Shares when exercising the option right due in relation to said shares.

The increased vote ceases for the shares (a) subject to transfer for any reason against payment or free-of-charge; or (b) held by companies or bodies (the "Investors") which possess equity investment to an extent greater than the threshold envisaged by Article 120, paragraph 2, of the TUF in the event of transfer for any reason, against payment or free-of-charge, of the control (this being understood to be the case as per Article 2359, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code), direct or indirect, in said Investors; it should be noted that the cases as per points (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not represent a significant transfer for the purposes of the above.

The direct or indirect transfer of the shares or the related legitimating real right will not count for the purpose of the loss of the increased vote (or the seniority of enrolment in the Special List) in the absence of change of control and, therefore, will not count each time that the transfer is carried out in favour of the corporate body or entity, also lacking legal status, subject to control - direct or indirect - of the same party controlling, directly or indirectly, the transferor.

The increased vote ceases in the event of waiver by the holder of all or part of the increased vote.

The shareholder enrolled in the Special List agrees that the broker should report any circumstance and event - and is obliged to communicate by the end of the month in which it occurs and in any event by the record date envisaged by current regulations concerning the right to take part and vote during the general shareholders' meeting - which, in accordance with current provisions and the Articles of Association, cancels out the conditions for the increased vote or effects its ownership.

In any case, reference is made to Art. 7 of the Articles of Association for a more complete description of the regulations of shares with benefit from increased vote.

Finally, on 3 December 2015, the Board of Directors - by virtue of the power of attorney granted to it by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on 12 October 2015 -, (i) adopted the regulations that discipline the formalities for enrolment in, keeping and up-dating of the Special List in observance of applicable legislation, the Articles of Association and market practices, so as to ensure a prompt exchange of information between shareholders, the Company and the Brokers; and (ii) appointed Computershare S.p.A. to manage the Special List.

On 8 January 2018, the increased right to vote due to the shareholder QUAMVIS S.C.A. – SICAV FIS (now QUAESTIO ITALIAN GROWTH FUND, as per the communication pursuant to Article 120 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 dated 1 March 2018) became effective.

On the date of approval of this Report, there is an agreement between the shareholders, known to the Issuer and communicated to Consob as per Art. 122 of the TUF, a summary of which is provided below.

On 12 November 2015, Wise, Omniafin and MTI Investimenti (the "Original Parties") entered into a shareholders' agreement that became effective as from the start date of trading of the Company's shares on the MTA (the "Shareholders' Agreement" published on the website www.openjobmetis.it) and which concerns all the equity investments the above hold in Openjobmetis's share capital, as well as the Openjobmetis shares of which they will become directly or indirectly holders over the duration of the Shareholders' Agreement. For additional information, please see the Press Release dated 3 November 2017, published on the Company's website.

The Shareholders' Agreement was entered into envisaging a duration of 36 months, commencing as from the start date of trading of the Company's shares on the MTA and with automatic renewal for a further 2 years, unless notice to withdraw is communicated 6 months in advance.

Further to the disposal of all the shares held in the Wisequity II & Macchine Italia fund, on 31 October 2017 the Original Parties signed a letter for the consensual termination of the Agreement with reference to just Wise (the "Letter of Partial Termination") which, therefore, ceased to be party to said Agreement, on its own account and on behalf of the managed fund Wisequity II & Macchine Italia.

In greater detail, the Shareholders' Agreement, inter alia:

3.0 COMPLIANCE (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter a) of the TUF)

With resolution of 14 September 2015 of the Board of Directors, the Issuer formally complied with the Corporate Governance Code of listed companies prepared by the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana S.p.a.

The text of the Corporate Governance Code is available to the general public on the Borsa Italiana website (www.borsaitaliana.it). and on the website of the Corporate Governance Committee (at http://www.borsaitaliana.it/comitato-corporate-governance/codice/codice.htm).

Following the compliance with the Code, the Company outlined a compliance plan of its governance system, by making the changes required to the structure within the company documents for the implementation of the recommendations contained therein, as amended in July 2015.

A list of the decisions adopted on 14 September 2015 by the Board of Directors of Openjobmetis is shown below; in compliance with the mentioned recommendations, the Board resolved, among other things, to:

(i) establish, pursuant to Art. 7 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Control and Risk Committee, approving the corresponding regulations;

(ii) establish, pursuant to Art. 6 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Committee, approving the corresponding regulations;

(iii) establish the Related Party Committee and approve the procedure for the transactions with related parties of the Company as set forth by Art. 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code and the Consob Related Party Regulations;

(iv) approve the procedure on internal dealing for the purchase, sale, subscription and exchange of shares of the Company or financial instruments associated with them, carried out by relevant persons in compliance with the provision of article 114, paragraph 7, of the TUF;

(v) appoint the Investor Relations Officer as the contact person in charge of the relations with Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and the Managing Director as the substitute for the Information Officer in case of his/her absence or impediment, and give them all the powers required to carry out the task;

(vi) appoint the Company's CFO, Mr Alessandro Esposti, as Investor Relator, granting him all the powers required to carry out the task;

(vii) appoint the MD, Mr. Rosario Rasizza as Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, giving him the functions, duties and powers set by Application Criterion 7.C.4 of the Corporate Governance Code;

(viii) approve the policy concerning the position of the Company on the limit to the maximum number of offices held by Directors in other companies;

(ix) appoint Ms. Laura Prosino as Head of the Internal Audit Unit, pursuant to standard 7.P.3 of the Corporate Governance Code, granting her all the powers required to carry out the task.

The Board of Directors by contrast resolved not to set up the Appointments Committee for the moment, envisaged pursuant to standard 5.P.1 of the Corporate Governance Code since it considered that the current ownership structure of the Company and of the identification processes of possible appointment proposals seem currently efficient, also on the basis of the results emerging from the Board Evaluation and pending an appointment of the new Board of Directors envisaged for the approval of the 2017 annual financial statements.

Furthermore, on this occasion, the Board of Directors approved the procedure for the internal management and the external disclosure of inside information, pursuant to Application Criterion 1.C.1, letter j) of the Corporate Governance Code and established the List of the persons who have access to inside information pursuant to Art. 115-bis of the TUF. This procedure and the mentioned regulations of the List were updated on the basis of the resolutions passed by the Board of Directors on 5 August 2016 and 11 November 2016, due to the effects of the coming into force, on 3 July 2016, of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 16 April 2014 and the related regulatory provisions.

Neither the Issuer nor its Subsidiaries with strategic importance are subject to provisions of laws that are not Italian, which influence the Issuer's corporate governance structure.

4.0 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

4.1 APPOINTMENT AND REPLACEMENT (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter l) of the TUF)

In compliance with the provisions of Art. 147-ter of the TUF, Article 15 of the Articles of Association envisages that the Directors must be appointed through the list voting system, to guarantee that at least one member of the management body is chosen by the minority shareholders.

Directors are appointed by the General Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of lists submitted by the Shareholders, in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force as and when.

Specifically, the Articles of Association provide, under penalty of inadmissibility, for each list to include a number of Directors who meet the legal independence requirements that is no less than that minimum set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force, indicating them distinctly and placing one of them in first place on the list.

Moreover, on the basis of legal and regulatory binding criteria for gender balance apply, the lists presenting three or more candidates must include candidates of both genders, so as to guarantee the presence on the Board of Directors of a number of Directors of the least represented gender at least equal to the minimum set by the legal and regulatory provisions for the least represented gender temporarily in force at the time.

Lists may be presented only by shareholders who, alone or with other shareholders, represent at least the minimum percentage of the capital envisaged by the Consob or any other measure, if lower, set by the legal and regulatory provisions applicable as and when.2 The certification issued by a qualified intermediary proving ownership of the number of shares required for the presentation of the list can be produced at the time the list is deposited or even later, although it must be before the term set by current legal provisions for the publication of the list by the Company.

The Articles of Association do not envisage that for the purposes of the allotment of the directors to be elected - see Article 147-ter, first section of the TUF - account is not taken of the lists which have not achieved a percentage of votes at least equal to half of those required for the presentation of the same lists.

The lists must be deposited at the registered offices of the Company and made available to the public in compliance with current laws and regulations. Each list must be accompanied by statements in which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and state, under their own responsibility, the absence of causes of ineligibility and incompatibility, as well as their compliance with the requirements set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force and by the Articles of Association for the respective positions. A curriculum vitae shall be deposited for each candidate

² It is hereby specified that Consob, by means of Resolution No. 20273 dated 24 January 2018, fixed the threshold of 4.5% for 2018.

with these statements, describing his/her personal and professional characteristics, possibly indicating whether the independence requirements are met.

The lists for which all the above provisions will not be observed will be considered as not presented.

Each Shareholder can submit only one list, and each candidate can be present on one list only, on pain of ineligibility. Any party entitled to vote can vote on one list only.

The Directors are elected in compliance with the mandatory provisions of laws and regulations in force with regard to gender balance, as follows:

(i) a number of Directors equal to the members of the Board of Directors to be elected, minus one, is taken from the list that obtains the majority of votes in the progressive order in which they are listed;

(ii) the first candidate in progressive order - which will be the remaining Director - is taken from the list with second highest number of votes that is not related in any way, either directly or indirectly, to the shareholders who submitted or voted the list with the highest number of votes.

If, after the voting, the number of Directors meeting independence requirements envisaged by the legal and regulatory provisions in force is not sufficient, the candidate who does not meet these requirements elected last in progressive order in the majority list will be excluded and will be replaced by the next candidate meeting independence requirements on the same list of the excluded candidate. If necessary, this procedure will be repeated until the number of independent Directors to be elected is completed.

If the candidates elected with the procedures described above do not ensure in the Board of Directors a number of directors of the least represented gender at least equal to the minimum required by the legal or regulatory provisions temporarily in force, the candidate of the gender most represented, elected last in progressive order on the list that has obtained the highest number of votes, shall be replaced by the first candidate of the least represented gender not elected on the same list, according to the progressive order. This replacement procedure will be applied until the composition of the Board of Directors complies with the legal or regulatory provisions temporarily in force concerning gender balance. If said procedure does not ensure in the Board of Directors a number of directors of the least represented gender at least equal to the minimum required by the binding legal and regulatory provisions temporarily in force, the replacement will take place through a resolution adopted by the General Shareholders' Meeting by relative majority, after presentation of candidates of the least represented gender.

In the case in which a single list or no list is presented, or in the event that the presented list does not allow to appoint independent Directors in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force, the General Shareholders' Meeting resolves with the majorities set by the law, in compliance with the binding legal and regulatory provisions in force concerning the directors meeting the requirements of independence and gender balance, without following the procedure described above. The method of list voting finds application only when the whole Board of Directors is replaced.

If one or more directors must be replaced during the financial year, provided the majority still consists of directors appointed by the General Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors sees to it pursuant to Art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code. If one or more of the departing Directors had been chosen from a list containing also the names of non-elected candidates, the replacement is carried out by appointing, according to the progressive order, persons chosen from the list to which the replaced Director used to belong, who can be still elected and are willing to accept the position. In any case, the Board of Directors replaces the directors by ensuring the presence of the number of directors meeting independence requirements set by the law and ensuring compliance with the binding legal and regulatory provisions in force concerning gender balance.

The Articles of Association do not currently envisage other independence requirements (compared to those established for statutory auditors pursuant to Article 148 of the TUF), and/or requirements of honourableness and/or professionalism for the assumption of the office of director, also with reference to requirements envisaged in their regard by the codes of conduct drafted by management companies of regulated markets or by trade associations.

The General Shareholders' Meeting can vary, even during the term of office, the number of members of the Board of Directors within the limits specified in Article 15 of the Articles of Association, making the relevant appointments. The term of office of the Directors thus appointed is the same as the one applicable to the Directors in office. Should the majority of the Directors appointed by the General Shareholders' Meeting cease their office, the entire Board is considered as having resigned and the General Shareholders' Meeting must be convened immediately by the directors remaining in office to re-establish the Board.

The Articles of Association also provide for the Directors to be kept constantly informed by the competent corporate functions on the major legal and regulatory developments concerning the Company and the exercise of their functions, also taking part in initiatives aimed at increasing knowledge of the company and its dynamics, so as to be able to carry out their duties even more effectively and act and make informed and independent decisions, pursuing the priority objective of creating value for the shareholders over the medium-long term.

The Issuer is not subject to other regulations on the composition of the Board of Directors and of the representation of minority shareholders.

Succession plans

It is hereby specified that, as of the date of this Report, the Issuer's Board of Directors - having taken into account the actual ownership structures and the shareholders' agreements existing between the shareholders - deemed it was unnecessary to adopt a plan for the succession of the Executive Directors without excluding, however, the possibility to reconsider the matter on the basis of developments of business and of the organisational structure.

4.2 COMPOSITION (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letters d) and d-bis) of the TUF)

Pursuant to Art. 15 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors can be made up of a number of members no less than 7 (seven) and no more than 13 (thirteen), who are appointed by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting (which sets the number within these limits) for a period not exceeding three financial years, agreed upon at the time of their appointment, and may be re-elected at the end of their mandate.

In compliance with current legal provisions, all Directors must meet the requirement of honourableness set for the auditors of companies with listed shares.

The majority of the members of the Board of Directors in office at the date of this Report, comprising eleven members, was appointed before the listing of the Company and effective as from its listing (3 December 2015), on the basis of one voting list presented by virtue of the Shareholders' Agreement referred to in paragraph 2.0, let. (g), by the General Shareholders' Meeting of 2 November 2015 and will remain in office until the date of the General Shareholders' Meeting that will be called to approve the financial statements relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2017.

On 9 May 2015, Mr. Paolo Gambarini tendered his resignation from the office of Non-Executive Director of the Company, due to additional professional commitments. On 12 May 2015, the Director Alberto Rosati replaced the afore-mentioned outgoing Director.

On 10 November 2017, the Directors Stefano Ghetti and Valentina Franceschini communicated their decision to hand in their resignation from the office of Board Directors, and Deputy Chairman the former, of Openjobmetis S.p.A., effective as from 19 December 2017.

The members of the Board of Directors in office at the date of this Report are listed in the table below.

Diversity policies

In observance of the matters envisaged by Italian Legislative Decree No. 254 of 30 December 2016, implementing the 2014/95/EU directive of the European Parliament and Council of 22 October 2014, containing the amendment to the 2013/34/EU directive, by means of resolution dated 19 December 2017 the Board of Directors adopted a diversity policy in relation to the composition of the administration, management and control bodies of the Company ("Diversity policies").

The Diversity policies aim to guarantee the satisfactory functioning of the corporate bodies of the Group regulating the composition and envisaging that the members of the same are in possession of personal and professional requisites which lead to the highest level of heterogeneity and expertise. The pursuit of the objective of ensuring a suitable diversification in the composition of the corporate bodies contributes - via the inclusion of different expertise, experience and personal characteristics - towards providing, within said bodies, greater independence of opinion and ability to exchange views increasing the capacity to react rapidly to legislative, structural and operational changes. Furthermore, this diversification may contribute towards the adoption of more effective strategic choices, also with reference to risk management and in all those cases which require a rapid, informed and most objective possible decision-making process of the management and control body.

The Policies on diversity, what is more, represent the implementation of the so-called corporate social responsibility, in observance of individual dignity further by Articles 3 and 41 of the Italian Constitution to the extent that inclusion, integration and non-discrimination, aimed at turning to account the diversities, can contribute towards accomplishing that task of removing the economic and social obstacles which limit the freedom of the individual in accordance with the principle of essential equality.

The adoption of the Diversity policies, what is more, to the extent that the third parties recognise the value and the contribution, is reflected - externally - in a competitive advantage for the company, within an advantage for all the employees since it contributes to the creation of a positive, inclusive and stimulating work environment, with the effect of reducing the so-called minority stress (or the stress which those belonging to minorities suffer) and a general improvement in productivity.

The diversity aspects taken into consideration by the Company for the purposes of the composition of the management body and the control body of the Group concern:

− the gender diversity, as a particularly significant element in relation to both the dynamic of the groupthink and the different way in which men and women exercise their leadership;
− the professional diversity, understood to be diversification in terms of experience and skills;

The Company ensures that for the appointment of the members of the corporate bodies of the Company formalities are envisaged which ensure the transparency of the procedure and a balanced composition of the afore-mentioned bodies taking into account the diversity criteria mentioned above as per the principles.

For the purpose of ensuring the implementation of the Diversity policies, Openjobmetis's Board of Directors:

− (i) formulates opinions with regard to its size and composition taking into account the diversity objectives in its composition and expresses recommendations with regard to the professional figures whose presence within the Board of Directors is deemed useful and/or appropriate;
− (ii) annually carries out an assessment on its activities performed for the purpose of identifying the current and future needs of Openjobmetis in relation to the balance of the skills and the protection and development of the diversity in the composition of said Board;
− (iii) in view of the renewal of its members, indicates the problematic aspects emerging further to the afore-mentioned assessments, at the same time identifying the main elements to keep in consideration so that the observance of the diversity and the objectives of the Diversity policies are ensured;
− (iv) further to the presentation of the lists by the Shareholders, expresses an opinion on the candidates to the office of director specifying whether the afore-mentioned lists are compliant with the recommendations as per the previous point and whether the criteria and the principles of the Diversity policies are observed.

During the meeting held on 19 December 2017, the BoD resolved to approve the amendment to

the Questionnaire to be used for the purposes of the Board Performance Evaluation, on a consistent basis with the adoption of the new Diversity policy, approved at the same time.

Maximum number of positions that can be held in other companies

The Board of Directors, in compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, with resolution of 14 September 2015, approved its own policy concerning the maximum number of positions that the members of the Board of Directors may hold in the administration and control bodies of other companies.

The policy adopted considers relevant only the positions held in the administration and control bodies of the following types of companies:

a) companies with shares listed on regulated markets, also abroad;
b) companies, Italian or foreign, with shares not listed on regulated markets and that operate in the insurance, banking, brokerage, asset management or financial sectors;
c) other large companies, Italian or foreign, with shares not listed on regulated markets.

In compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the policy adopted by the Board of Directors of Openjobmetis diversifies the limits on the maximum number of positions according to (i) the commitment required by the position held by each Director, both in the management body of the Company and in the administration and control bodies of other companies, as well as (ii) the nature of the companies where the other positions are held, excluding from the corresponding calculations those held in Subsidiaries of the Company.

In particular, each Executive Director should not hold in the administration and control bodies of other companies "of a significant size":

more than 2 executive director positions; and
more than 5 positions of non-executive director and/or standing auditor;

Those holding the position of Non-Executive Director of the Company cannot hold:

more than 3 executive director positions; and
more than 6 positions of non-executive director and/or standing auditor.

Any positions held in companies directly and/or indirectly controlled by the Company or related to them, in companies controlling the Company or carrying out management and coordination activities, are not considered when calculating the positions. The consideration of derogations (temporary or otherwise) to the maximum number of positions pertains to the Board of Directors.

During the meeting held on 9 March 2018, the BoD ascertained that its current composition observes the criteria set in the aforementioned policy.

With reference to the offices covered by the current members of the Board of Directors in other major companies., Mr. Marco Vittorelli is a Board Member (non-executive) of Nextam Partners SGR and Compagnie Monegascque de Banque; Mr. Alessandro Potestà is a Board Member (nonexecutive) of the following companies listed in organised markets: Sabaf S.p.A., Tecnoinvestimenti S.p.A., Bomi S.p.A., Banca Intermobiliare di Investimenti e Gestioni S.p.A.

Induction Programme

The structure and the contents of the Board meetings, as well as the participation in the Committees ensure an on-going up-date of the Directors and statutory auditors with regard to the company situation and the reference sector.

In particular, in compliance with Art. 2.C.2. of the Code, the Chairman and the Managing Director during the meetings of the Board of Directors take steps to illustrate the important aspects for the purpose of presentation of the performance of the Company and the Group, constantly providing, among other things, information with regard to the most significant updates concerning the operating sector of the Company, the sector's legislative framework and its impact on the Company, business trend and development.

Furthermore, in line with the provisions of Art. 1.C.6 of the Code, executives of the Company participate during the board meetings, upon invitation by the Chairman; their presence is considered useful for improved disclosure on the items on the agenda.

4.3 ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d) of the TUF)

Formalities for the functioning of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors meets on a regular basis, by organising itself and operating so as to ensure an effective and efficient performance of its functions.

During the 2017 financial year, the Board of Directors of the Issuer held 10 (ten) meetings: on 30 January, on 14 February, on 16 March, on 31 March, on 12 May, on 26 June, on 4 August, on 26 September, on 10 November and on 19 December. The average duration of the meetings was about 1 hour and 50 minutes.

With regard to the percentage of attendance of each director during the financial year, reference is made to the dedicated item within the table "Structure of the Board of Directors" referred to in point 4.2 above.

With regard to the 2018 financial year, 10 (ten) meetings are envisaged, 3 (three) of which (30 January, 20 February and 9 March 2018) have already taken place as of the date of this Report.

The activities of the Board of Directors are coordinated by the Chairman. The Chairman calls the meetings of the Board at the registered offices or another location indicated in the notice of call, whenever he/she believes it is advisable, or when a request in writing is made by one or more Managing Directors or by at least three Directors in office, or by the Board of Statutory Auditors, in the cases envisaged by the law. The Chairman sets the agenda and guides the business of the meeting, making sure that Directors receive sufficiently in advance the documentation and information necessary to express an informed opinion on the issues on the agenda, taking into account the specific circumstances.

The Board appoints, in view of each meeting, a Secretary chosen not necessarily among its

members. As a rule, this function is entrusted to a professional expert in corporate affairs and regulation of the financial markets.

The Corporate Affairs Unit, via the Secretary, ensures the promptness and completeness of the premeeting disclosure and sees to the preparation of all the documents necessary for dealing with the business on the agenda. The forwarding to the Directors and statutory auditors is seen to by the Secretary of the Board of Directors who accordingly takes steps reasonably in advance with respect to the date of the meeting, having also taken into account the possible confidentiality and urgency requirements relating to specific subjects. On the basis of the results of the Board Evaluation, the Board believes that during the year it has received the documentation relating to the business on the agenda for the purposes of a proper evaluation and passing of the relevant resolutions.

In cases where, for organisational or confidentiality reasons, it is not possible or appropriate to send the documentation before the meeting, said documents are delivered during the board meeting, and filed in the Company's official documents. Moreover, the disclosure is supplemented and widely illustrated by the Executive Directors during the board meeting.

If it is believed to be advisable, the Board invites external observers to the meetings or calls in experts to discuss issues of a technical nature or those requiring specific competencies.

If the Chairman believes it is necessary, the Board of Directors may hold their meetings by means of telecommunication methods, in teleconference or video-conference, with procedures that allow all participants to be identified and to follow the discussion and intervene in real time in the discussion of the topics on the agenda and in any case in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force. In this case, the meeting is considered to be held in the location where the Chairman is, which is where the secretary of the meeting must also be to draft the minutes.

Pursuant to Art. 20.3 of the Articles of Association, the Board may also establish internal committees to provide advice and make proposals, also with competencies on specific issues, specifying its composition and competencies. For the internal committees established by the Board, reference is made to sections 6, 7, 8 and 12 of this Report.

In any event, the Chairman of the Board of Directors makes sure that the right amount of time can be dedicated to the business on the agenda, so as to ensure constructive debate and, during the course of the meetings, encourage contributions from the Directors.

During the board meetings, as a general rule the following are invited to attend so as to provide suitable details on the business on the agenda: parties not on the Board, in particular Executives and/or Heads of company Divisions, with expertise and specific responsibilities on the matters examined by the Board of Directors, in compliance with the matters envisaged by point 1.C.6 of the Corporate Governance Code.

For the resolutions of the Board to be valid, the majority of the Directors in office must be present and the resolutions are adopted with the favourable vote of the majority of those attending. The Directors cannot delegate the exercise of their vote.

Role of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Company has a central role in the organisation and is invested with

the widest powers of ordinary and extraordinary administration, with the exception of those that the law reserves for the exclusive competence of the Shareholders' Meeting.

Specifically, in compliance with point 1.C.1 of the Code, the Board of Directors as a rule carries out the following functions:

(a) it examines and approves the strategic, industrial and financial plans of the Issuer and the Group which it heads up, periodically monitoring the implementation; it defines the corporate governance system of the Issuer and the structure of the Group;
(b) it defines the nature and the level of the risk compatible with the strategic objectives of the Issuer, including in its assessments all the risks that may become important with a view to sustainability of the Issuer's activities of the mid/long-term;
(c) it assesses the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting set up of the Issuer as well as that of the strategically important Subsidiaries, with particular reference to the internal control and risk management system;
(d) it establishes the frequency, not beyond the quarter, by means of which the appointed bodies must report to the Board with regard to the activities carried out when performing the appointments and powers granted to them;
(e) it assesses the general performance of operations, taking into consideration, in particular, the information received from the appointed bodies, as well as periodically comparing the results achieved with those planned;
(f) it resolves with regard to the operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, when these operations are of significant strategic, economic, equity or financial importance for said Issuer;
(g) at least once a year, it carries out an assessment on the functioning of said Board and on its Committees as well as on their size and composition, also taking into account elements such as the professional characteristics, experience, including managerial, and gender of the members, as well as their seniority in office
(h) having taken into account the results of the above assessment, it expresses to the shareholders, before the appointment of the new Board, guidelines on managerial and professional figures, whose presence is considered opportune on the board;
(i) it provides the disclosure envisaged by the Corporate Governance Code in the Corporate Governance Report;
(j) For the purpose of ensuring the correct handling of the corporate information, it adopts upon the proposal of the Chairman of the Board of Directors - a procedure for the internal handling and communication outside the company of documents and information regarding the Issuer, with particular reference to privileged inside information.

Pursuant to Art. 18 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is given the power to decide on (i) the allocation of certain assets to specific business transactions; (ii) mergers or spin-offs in the cases provided for by Articles 2505, 2505-bis and 2506-ter of the Italian Civil Code; (iii) the move of the registered offices within Italy; (iv) the opening or closing of secondary offices; (v) which Directors may represent the Company; (vi) the reduction in share capital in the event of a shareholder withdrawal; and (vii) the amendment of the Articles of Association to comply with legal and regulatory provisions.

The Board of Directors, also through its representative bodies, reports to the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company at least once a quarter, directly or at their meetings, on the activities and the transactions carried out by the Company and its Subsidiaries with the most significant economic, equity and financial impact. The Directors also report on the transactions in which they have an interest, on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties.

Pursuant to Art. 20.4 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors, after hearing the mandatory opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, appoints the manager in charge of financial reporting pursuant to Art. 154-bis of the TUF. For further information on the role of the manager in charge of financial reporting, reference is made to section. 10.5 of this Report.

During the 2017 financial year, the General Shareholders' Meeting did not authorise departures from the competition restriction envisaged by Article 2390 of the Italian Civil Code

On 19 December 2017, the Board of Directors entrusted the Control and Risk Committee, under the coordination of its Chairman, with the preliminary process preparatory to the self-assessment set by Application Criterion 1.C.1 of the Corporate Governance Code.

Based on the assessment made, the results of which were presented and discussed at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 20 February 2018, the latter expressed a positive opinion on the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Company, also with reference to the internal control and risk management system, on the functioning of said Board and on its Committees as well as on their size and composition, also taking into account the professional characteristics, experience, including managerial, and gender of its members.

The analysis was carried out by filling in questionnaires by the Directors, prepared with the help of Company consultants.

Within these questionnaires, the following aspects were closely examined and commented by each Director: (i) the structure, the composition, the operation, the role and the responsibilities of this body; (ii) the carrying-out of the board meetings, their information flows and adopted decisionmaking processes; (iii) the composition and operation of the Committees set up within the Board of Directors; (iv) the pursued strategies and the performance targets set; (v) relations between management body, the shareholders and the stakeholders; (vi) assessment of the adequacy of the company organisational structure.

As part of the Board, the different skills complement each other and make the discussion open and constructive, tending to take decisions with the maximum consensus; the structure of the Board of Directors, the number and duration of the board meetings were considered adequate, as well as the disclosure previously provided; with regard to the Committees set up within the Board of Directors - Remuneration Committee, Control and Risk Committee and Related Party Transactions Committee - the adequacy of their composition, role and effectiveness of the activity carried out was widely shared by them.

Merely for the sake of completeness, it is hereby specified that the questionnaires have revealed the indication by certain Directors of paying attention to the aspects of gender balance in view of the first renewal of the management body post-listing, while - with regard to others - a diversification policy was not considered particularly significant with respect to the needs of the Company in terms of the geographic origin of the Board members.

Moreover, the Board, based on the information received by the delegated bodies, assessed on a regular basis the performance of operations, comparing the results achieved with those planned, making decisions with regard to operations of considerable strategic, economic, equity and financial importance for the Company, as well as with regard to transactions with related parties as laid down by the "Procedure for transactions with related parties", approved by the Company on 12 October 2015 (last amended on 9 March 2018) and effective as from 3 December 2015, start date of trading of the Company's shares on the screen-based stock exchange, or Mercato Telematico Azionario, of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. - in compliance with the matters envisaged by the Consob Related Party Regulations.

4.4 DELEGATED BODIES

Pursuant to Art. 20 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors may delegate, within the limits allowed by the law, all or part of its powers to one or more of its members, who will take the title of Managing Directors, setting the limits of the delegation. The Board has, moreover, the power to appoint general managers, company executives, legal representatives and executive officers, for transactions in general or for specific transactions, granting them the necessary powers and, where it is believed to be advisable, the power to represent the company and sign on its behalf, jointly and/or separately.

The delegated bodies report to the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors on the activities carried out, the general performance of management, business outlook and the transactions of major economic and financial impact carried out by the Company or by its Subsidiaries; specifically, they report on the transactions in which they have an interest, on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties, or that are influenced by the party carrying out management and coordination activities, if any.

The Board of Statutory Auditors is informed both directly, and at their meetings, at any rate at least once every quarter, as well as every time a request in writing is made by a director or by the Board of Statutory Auditors.

4.6 INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

Partly on the basis of the information provided by the Directors, the Board of Directors assesses the existence of the independence requisites and thus provides disclosure to the market.

It is hereby specified that 3 (three) Non-Executive Directors of the Company, Mario Artali, Alberica Brivio Sforza and Alberto Picciau, are qualifiable as "independent" as per Art. 3 of the Code and in pursuance of Art. 144-novies of the Consob Issuers' Regulations.

The independence of the afore-mentioned Directors was assessed by the Board of Directors during the session held on 3 December 2015, after the appointment which took place at the time of the general meeting held on 2 November 2015, and the outcome of the assessment was disclosed to the market by means of a press release forwarded to Borsa Italiana according to the formalities and timescales envisaged by Consob regulations.

When carrying out the assessment on the existence of the independent requisites, the Board of Directors applied all the criteria envisaged by Art. 3.C.1 and 3.C.2 of the Code.

The continuance of the independent characteristics of said Directors is checked annually and most recently during the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 9 March 2018 adopting the parameters indicated in Art. 3 of the Code.

In accordance with the matters envisaged by point 3.C.5 of the Code, after the assessment carried out by the Board of Directors, during the same meeting the Board of Statutory Auditors checked with a positive outcome - the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors for assessing the independence of its members. The outcome of these checks is also illustrated in the Board of Statutory Auditors' Report to the General Shareholders' Meeting called to be held on 24 April 2018.

On 5 March 2018, the Independent Directors met formally in accordance with point 3.C.6 of the Corporate Governance Code, during the meetings of the Related Party Committee of which they are the only members. They discussed various issues of a general nature related to their offices in the absence of the other Directors.

It is hereby specified that the Directors, qualified as independent, have undertaken to promptly inform the Board of the occurrence of situations that impede the office as well as any change to the aforementioned declarations during the course of the mandate.

4.7 LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR

Since the conditions envisaged by point 2.C.3 of the Corporate Governance Code do not apply, the Board of Directors has not appointed a Lead Independent Director.

5.0 HANDLING OF CORPORATE INFORMATION

On 12 October 2015, the Board of Directors of Openjobmetis adopted the procedure for the internal management and the external disclosure of documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Art. 93 of the TUF, with reference both to confidential information and to inside information in compliance with the recommendations of Art. 1.C.1 of the Corporate Governance Code. The Procedure was subsequently amended with resolution of 5 August 2016 in order to adjust it to the provisions contained in Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the board of 16 April 2014 on market abuse.

Pursuant to Art. 7 of the afore-mentioned EU Regulation No. 596/2014, inside information means: "specific information that has not been made public, concerning directly or indirectly, one or more issuers or one or more financial instruments and that, if made public, could have a significant effect on the prices of these financial instruments or on the prices of linked derivative financial instruments".

The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the strategy of public disclosure of Inside Information on the Company and its Subsidiaries.

The management of the procedures of public disclosure of Inside Information pertains to the Investor Relations Officer.

The procedure for the internal management and the external disclosure of the above mentioned documents and information is available on the website of the Company at: http://investitori.openjobmetis.it/sites/default/files/allegati/PROCEDURA_GESTIONE_E_CO MUNICAZIONE_INFORMAZIONI.pdf .

11.0 MAIN FEATURES OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ALSO IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS PURSUANT TO ART. 123-BIS, SECTION 2, LETTER B) OF THE TUF

The Company adopted an Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) consisting of a series of rules, procedures and organisational structures aimed at enabling, via a suitable process for identification, measurement, management and monitoring of key risks, the running of the company which is sound, correct and consistent with the objectives of the Company.

An efficient internal control and risk management system contributes towards running a business in compliance with the business goals and ensures the safeguarding of the company assets, the efficiency and effectiveness of the business transactions, the reliability of the financial information, the observance of laws and regulations as well as of the Articles of Association and of internal procedures.

The System involves, each according to its competences:

the Board of Directors, which carries out a role for the guidance and assessment of the adequacy of the system;
the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system who sees to its planning, implementation and management and is identified as the Company's M.D.;
the Control and Risk Committee with the task of supporting the assessments and the decisions of the Board of Directors on the internal control and risk management system;
the head of the Internal Audit unit, appointed to check that the internal control and risk management system is adequate and operative by means of an Audit Plan;
the Board of Statutory Auditors, which overseas the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system;
the Manager in charge of financial reporting, who declares, with regard to the accounting disclosure (including interim), the correspondence of the documents and the communications of the Company divulged to the market with the documental results, books and accounting records;
the Supervisory Body, equipped with all the powers necessary for ensuring an accurate and efficient supervision of the functioning and the observance of the Organisational Model adopted by the Company, in accordance with the matters established by Art. 6 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001.

The Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Control and Risk Committee defines the guidelines of the internal control and risk management system by coordinating the internal dedicated bodies and the evaluation of the periodic reports, so that the main risks concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries are correctly identified, as well as adequately measured, managed and monitored, identifying the degree of comparability of these risks with a management of the company consistent with the strategic objectives identified.

The task of the Board of Directors is also to verify on a regular basis the operation of the internal control and risk management system making use of the Control and Risk Committee and of the Internal Audit unit.

With resolution passed on 16 December 2016, the Board of Directors adopted a document called "Guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System ("SCIGR Guidelines")". By means of resolution dated 10 November 2017, the document was implemented and amended also for the purpose of co-ordinating the SCIGR Guidelines with respect to the Protocol for the Regulation of the SCIGR information flows adopted by the Company's Board of Directors in the same meeting held on 10 November 2017. These documents are the result of the analysis and close examination by the Control and Risk Committee with the help of all the bodies forming the internal control and risk management system.

In line with the SCIGR Guidelines, the Company carried out Business Risk Assessment activities for 2017 as well, updating that already carried out in 2016. These activities were carried out in-house by the Company, using methods similar to those in 2016, via the Internal Audit unit and - when focusing on the risk profiles of the Company valorising the so-called operational risks (compared with the so-called strategic ones) - permitted the Control and Risk Committee and, subsequently, the Board of Directors to define, analyse and assess the main business risks compatibly with the Company's strategic objectives. For the purposes of the above-mentioned analysis, all the risks that may be significant in terms of sustainability in the medium-long term in the activity of the Company were taken into consideration.

The Business Risk Assessment carried out by the Company involved the first operational lines concerned through the analysis and consequent assessment of the results that were measured by defining both a level of inherent risk (known as potential) and a level of residual risk (i.e. as a result of the introduction of specific monitoring of operations).

During the meeting of the Board of Directors of 20 February 2018, having consulted the Control and Risk Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system and the SB, the Work Plan of the Internal Audit unit was approved for 2018. During the various meetings of the Control and Risk Committee carried out during the 2017 financial year – most of which performed jointly with the different players of the internal control and risk management system – the reports prepared by the Internal Audit unit on the controls envisaged in the approved Work Plan were examined.

Lastly, during the meeting of 20 February 2018 (subject to the examination of the Control and Risk Committee during the meeting held in 12 February 2018), the reports analysing the control activity carried out during the 2017 financial year were analysed and shared with a special reference to the report of the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, to the SB report and to the Internal Audit report.

During the meeting of the Board of Directors of 9 March 2018, the Control and Risk Committee reported to the Board its favourable opinion on the efficiency and effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system by presenting its annual report together with those of the other players of the internal control and risk management system.

In consideration of the characteristics of the Company, the periodic reports received by the different bodies forming the internal control and risk management system as well as of the report of the Control and Risk Committee, the Company's Board of Directors was able to assess the internal control and risk management system by considering it adequately structured to ensure a correct disclosure and an adequate control over all the activities and, in particular, the areas of greatest business risk.

Main features of the control and risk management system existing in relation to the financial reporting process pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter b) of the TUF

Preamble

The internal control system on financial reporting is not considered to be separate from the Risk Management System since they both are components of the Internal Control System (hereinafter the "System").

The internal control system on financial reporting adopted by the Group is represented by a set of rules and procedures as well as an organisational structure aimed at enabling the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks in order to make educated decisions; it contributes to a business management consistent with the corporate objectives in terms of the medium and long term sustainability of the Company's activities, and contributes to ensure the protection of corporate assets, and the efficiency and efficacy of the corporate processes; it is used for formulating strategies across the company and is designed to identify potential events that may affect the corporate activities, to manage the risks within the limits of acceptability and to provide reasonable security in pursuing the corporate objectives, including the credibility, reliability, accuracy and promptness of the financial reporting provided to the corporate bodies and to the market, and compliance with the laws, regulations, Articles of Association and internal procedures.

The above enables the issuing of certificates and declarations, required by the law, confirming that the deeds and information disseminated by the Company to the market and related to accounting disclosures, including interim reports, correspond to the information reported in the company's documents, books and accounting records, and confirm the adequacy and actual application of the administrative and accounting procedures during the period to which the accounting documents refer (financial statements and half-year reports) and on their preparation in compliance with the applicable international accounting standards.

The Board of Directors of Openjobmetis has appointed a manager in charge of financial reporting of the Company (the "Manager in charge of financial reporting"), granting him/her all the powers, responsibilities and obligations of certification or declaration. The Manager in charge of financial reporting is also responsible for implementing the administrative-accounting procedures that regulate the process for drawing up the periodic corporate financial reports, for monitoring the application of the administrative-accounting procedures and, together with the Managing Director, for releasing to the market his/her approval of the financial documents, as being in compliance with the requirements mentioned above (credibility, accuracy, reliability and promptness).

In 2017, the Manager in charge of financial reporting updated the different internal procedures related to the preparation of the accounting documents until the drafting and dissemination, on 22/11/2016, of the Accounting Manual. In 2017, the internal procedures were reviewed and, where necessary, updated and/or supplemented.

The assessment, monitoring and continuous update of the internal control system regarding the financial reporting allows for making assessments based on a procedure focusing on the main risks and/or relevant areas, i.e. on significant error risks, also because of frauds, in the financial statement items and in the related information documents.

In order to monitor the correct application of the administrative-accounting procedures, the Manager in charge of financial reporting requests a periodic monitoring that is carried out with the support of the Internal Audit unit and an external consultant. This monitoring is performed on the basis of operating cycles and takes place twice a year. In fact, it was carried out in the middle of 2017 and in the months bridging 2017/2018 according to the preparation of the half-yearly and yearly financial reporting for 2017.

The operating cycles of reference are indicated in figure 1 below:

Description of the main features of the Internal Control and Risk Management System existing in relation to the financial reporting process.

a) Phases of the internal control and risk management system existing in relation to the financial reporting process

The activities carried out consisted of:

Identification of risks in financial reporting: the Company, consistent with the principles at the base of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, identifies, on a yearly basis, the main corporate risks in a prudent and scrupulous way (so-called scoping activity).
Assessment of risks in financial reporting: for each risk, the Company assesses the probability of its occurrence and the impact that each risk may produce. The process of assessing the significance of risk must be carried out in order to determine the inherent risk and to evaluate the residual risk in order to guarantee the correct interpretation of the degree of exposure to risks and the possible redefinition of the strategies for responding thereto. In fact, it must be possible to reassess the response to the risk based on the actual reduction in its probability and impact, or both, through the defined response activities.
Identification of the controls based on the identified risks: the control activities are carried out also through policies that guarantee to management the correct implementation of the response to the risk. The Company, after identifying and assessing its risks, also establishes the controls necessary to monitor said risks by identifying control objectives and describing the control activities. For each control activity, the methods applied to controls (automatic or manual), the type of controls (preventive or subsequent), the frequency of controls, the manager in charge of the control and related corporate area or unit of reference, are all identified. It is also specified whether the controls represent key activities. i.e. of a particular significance.
Control assessment based on the identified risks: during the monitoring activities, which were carried out twice in 2017, with reference to the annual or the half-year reporting, specific sample tests are carried out on the identified controls. In particular, at the start of the monitoring activity, the controls to be carried out and the size of the samples are decided upon based on the following criteria:
Key or non-key controls
Materiality of the controls
Results from previous monitoring

The Manager in charge of financial reporting, identifies, for each monitoring activity the parameters for the acceptability of the findings.

The tests aim at assessing the execution of the controls both in terms of design and operations.

At the conclusion of the tests, the Internal Audit unit gives notice thereof to the Manager in charge of financial reporting, describing the identified gaps. Subsequently, the same reporting is shared with the Control and Risk Committee, meeting in a joint session, for the purpose of such reporting, with the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Body. The independent Audit Company is also sent the reporting.

With reference to 2017, at the meetings of the Control and Risk Committee – held respectively on 2 August 2017 and 5 March 2018 – with the participation of the Board of Statutory Auditors and of the Supervisory Body, the outcome of the two monitoring operations were reported by the Internal Audit unit.

Together with the Company's management, the Manager in charge of financial reporting defines the activities that may be implemented to correct the identified gaps; these activities are shared, with the support of the Internal Audit unit, also with the managers of the operating units responsible for the controls.

b) Roles and functions

The risk and internal control management system applied to financial reporting is chaired by the Manager in charge of financial reporting who is also responsible for designing, implementing and approving the accounting and administrative control model, and for assessing its application by issuing a certification of the half-year and annual financial statements, including the consolidated one.

In carrying out these activities, the Manager in charge of financial reporting:

is supported by the parties responsible for the administrative and accounting functions concerning the areas under their competence: (i) they organise the activities according to specific internal procedures in order to ensure the completeness and reliability of the information flows to the Manager in charge of financial reporting for drawing up the accounting reports; (ii) they are responsible for executing the controls of the administrativeaccounting processes and assessing their efficacy over time;
establishes an exchange of information with the Control and Risk Committee and with the Board of Directors, reporting on the carried-out activities and the adequacy of the internal control system concerning the financial reporting.

The Manager in charge of financial reporting, after consulting with the Audit Company and the Board of Statutory Auditors, informs the Control and Risk Committee about the adequacy and reliability of the administrative-accounting system, as well as the correct application of the accounting standards to the preparation of the corporate accounting documents, and also confirms their consistency for the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements.

At the first meeting of the Control and Risk Committee of 2 August 2017 – for the first half of 2017 – and during a subsequent meeting of 5 March 2018 – relating to the 2017 financial year, the correct application of the accounting standards adopted by the company was verified, after hearing the opinion of the Audit Company, of the Board of Statutory Auditors and of the Supervisory Body.

11.1 DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

On 3 December 2015, the Board of Directors appointed the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, in the person of the Managing Director of the Company, Rosario Rasizza.

When carrying out his functions, Mr. Rosario Rasizza:

(i) identified the main corporate risks (strategic, operating, financial and compliance), taking into account the characteristics of the activities carried out by the Company and its Subsidiaries and presented them for the periodic review of the Board of Directors;

(ii) implemented the guidelines set by the Board of Directors, taking care of the planning, implementation and management of the internal control and risk management system, verifying constantly its adequacy and efficiency;

(iii) adapted the internal control and risk management system to the changes in operating conditions and in the legal and regulatory framework;

(iv) has the power to request the Internal Audit unit to carry out assessments on specific areas of operation and on compliance with internal rules and procedures in the carrying out of business operations, providing contextual communication to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, to the Chairman of the Control and Risk Committee, and to the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors;

(v) promptly informs the Control and Risk Committee (or the Board of Directors) on problems and critical issues arising in carrying out his activities or of which he became aware, so that the Control and Risk Committee (or the Board of Directors) can take suitable action.

When carrying out the above-mentioned functions, Mr. Rasizza constantly reported to the Internal Audit unit by checking its work through the analysis of specific reports bearing witness to the trend of internal controls envisaged in the Audit Plan and the monitoring of anomalies found.

Moreover, Mr. Rasizza followed the work relating to the Business Risk Assessment by analysing in detail the results of the analyses carried out and by reporting fundamental indications for identifying the main corporate risks.

On the basis of the above-mentioned figures, Mr. Rasizza, with the help of the Internal Audit unit, proposed to the Control and Risk Committee - during the meeting of 30 January 2017 – and, subsequently, to the Board of Directors during the meeting on 14 February 2017, a Work Plan of the Internal Audit unit for 2017 known as "Risk Based". In 2017, Mr. Rasizza - during the ongoing comparison activities with the Internal Audit unit - shared the amendments to the Audit Plan - also with the request to carry out specific audits not envisaged at the beginning of the year - agreeing on the amendments with all those involved in the Internal Control and Risk Management System and with the approval of the Board of Directors during the board meetings.

11.2 HEAD OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT UNIT

On 4 December 2015, the Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Director in charge, subject to the favourable opinion expressed by the Control and Risk Committee and by the Board of Statutory Auditors, resolved to confirm the appointment, granted by the Board of Directors in the meeting on 12 October 2015, of Laura Prosino as head of the Company's Internal Audit Unit by defining her remuneration consistent with corporate policies.

The Board of Directors made also sure that the aforesaid head had the adequate resources to carry out her responsibilities.

In accordance with the matters ratified by point 7.C.5 of the Code, the Head of the Internal Audit unit:

checks, on an on-going basis and in relation to specific needs and in observance of the international standards, the operations and suitability of the internal control and risk management system, by means of an audit plan, approved by the Board of Directors, based on a structured process of analysis and prioritisation of the main risks;
draws up periodic reports, containing suitable information on her activities, on the methods used to carry out the management of the risks and well as on the observance of the plans defined for their containment. The periodic reports contain an assessment of the suitability of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and are sent to the chairmen of the Board of Statutory Auditors, of the Control and Risk Committee and to the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and, if necessary, in relation to the events under review, to the chairman of the Board of Directors;
promptly draws up reports on events of particular importance and forwards them to the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Control and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors and the Director in charge;
verifies, within the sphere of the checks envisaged in the audit plant, the reliability of the information systems including the accounts registration systems.

Within the sphere of her activities, the Head of the Internal Audit unit has direct access to all the information useful for the performance of the appointment. It is hereby specified that the Issuer's Internal Audit unit is within the Company and reports directly to the Board of Directors. The Head of the Internal Audit unit is not responsible for any operational area.

During the 2017 financial year, the Internal Audit unit operated in line with the Work Plan approved by the Board of Directors during the meeting of 14 February 2017 and prepared specific periodic reports for the Control and Risk Committee that analysed them in joint session with the Board of Statutory Auditors and the SB and for the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system. They also prepared an annual report describing the state of implementation of the Work Plan for the same subjects as well as for the Board of Directors that acknowledges it in its session of 9 March 2018.

With specific reference to checking the reliability of the information systems (including the accounts registration systems), the Internal Audit unit - with the aid of an outside consultant - carried out the activities regarding Italian Law 262/05 reporting on the issue during the periodic meetings of the Control and Risk Committee in joint session with the Board of Statutory Auditors and the SB.

Between September and November 2017, the Internal Audit unit up-dated the Business Risk Assessment activities carrying out interviews and internal discussions with the first operating lines adopting the same method used in 2016. The activities made it possible - also with the development of the so-called Operating risks - to identify and measure the strategic business risks both in terms of inherent (known as potential) and residual risks (i.e. after putting in place business monitoring) in order to prepare a "Risk Based" Work Plan for 2018.

In addition to having the direct access to all the information useful for the performance of the appointment, the Internal Audit unit has all the means required albeit not having a specific budget available.

11.3 ORGANISATIONAL MODEL PURSUANT TO ITALIAN LEGISLATIVE DECREE No. 231/2001

As for the compliance with the provisions on administrative liability envisaged by Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, on 28 May 2012, the Board of Directors adopted an organisation, management and control model pursuant to said rules (subsequently amended on 23 September 2014, on 06 November 2015 and on 27 September 2016) (the "Model") to design and implement a governance system aspiring to high ethical standards, which will be able to contribute towards creating a widespread culture of controls and a greater awareness of the need for responsible behaviour, and therefore to eliminate and/or reduce the risk of committing the crimes identified by Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001.

During 2017, the company launched the work for reviewing its Organisational model for the purpose of checking its suitability with regard to the so-called "new offences" in other words the offences which legislation included subsequently to the 2016 edition of the Model - in those pertaining to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/01 and not yet included in the Model. The activities were carried out with the aid of an outside consulting firm and led to the approval of the up-dated Organisational Model during the Board meeting held on 9 March 2018 subject to discussion with the Supervisory Body established in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/01 and the other bodies of the internal control and risk management system.

At the same time, the Company positively assessed the appropriateness that also the subsidiary companies might endow themselves with their own autonomous Organisational Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 both to prevent the administrative liability of the subsidiaries and the parent company.

The Model has the objective of preventing the risk of committing the crimes identified by Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 and is addressed to the parties who have dealings with Openjobmetis and especially to the Directors, the members of other corporate bodies and any other party with functions of representation, administration or direction of the Company, employees (including executives), including fixed-term or part-time workers, contractors and interns, occasional and permanent consultants, intermediaries, sales partners, professionals and suppliers of goods and services and any other counterparty that has contractual relations with the Company.

The Code of Ethics is an integral part of the Model. It states the principles which Openjobmetis follows to prevent the crimes specified by the Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 and, more in general, to prevent any form of illegality. The Code of Ethics aims at ensuring that the transactions, the behaviour and the modus operandi of the Company both in its internal relations, and in its relations with outsiders, are based on correctness, fairness, honesty, openness and professional rigour, with a focus on full compliance with the laws and regulations in force, as well as on compliance with the internal procedures of Openjobmetis.

The Model consists of a General Part, a Code of Ethics available on the website of the company at http://www.openjobmetis.it/it/chi-siamo/responsabilita-sociale.html and of the following annexes:

Liable offences of the responsibility of the body
Disciplinary system
Protocols

The Company shall promote the knowledge of the Code of Ethics by its recipients, acknowledge their contribution to the definition of its content and provide suitable instruments to ensure its full and effective application. All violations of the letter and the spirit of the Code of Ethics will be punished according to the procedures adopted by the Company.

The Supervisory Body (SB) appointed by the Board of Directors with the task of overseeing the functioning and observance of said Model, is a mixed board consisting of three members including one internal member to the Company.

The company has not assessed the appropriateness of assigning the SB functions to the Board of Statutory Auditors.

11.4 AUDIT COMPANY

The statutory auditing of the accounts of Openjobmetis is carried out by the audit company KPMG S.p.A. with registered offices in Via Vittor Pisani 25, Milan, Italy, tax code 00709600159, registered with the Register of Auditors under number 70623. This audit company was appointed for the financial years from 2015 to 2023 by the General Shareholders' Meeting on 12 October 2015. The audit company carries out the official audit of the company financial statements for the year, verifies that the accounts are duly kept and that management action is correctly recorded in the accounting documents of Openjobmetis, and reviews the financial statements of the other investee companies (excluding Corium srl) and the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

11.5 MANAGER IN CHARGE OF FINANCIAL REPORTING AND OTHER CORPORATE ROLES AND FUNCTIONS

Art. 20.4(ii) of the Articles of Association provides for the manager in charge of financial reporting of the Company to be chosen according to criteria of professionalism and competence among persons who have accrued a total experience of at least three years through the exercise of at least one of the following activities: a) activities of administration or control or management in a corporate environment; b) professional activities related to the credit, financial, brokerage or insurance sector; c) university teaching on legal or economic issues; d) administrative or management functions in public sector agencies or authorities related to the credit, financial, brokerage or insurance sector or in public sector agencies or authorities that are not related to said sectors, on condition that the functions involve the management of economic and financial resources.

The Manager in charge of financial reporting is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. He takes part in the meetings of the Board of Directors when the discussion of issues within his competence is on the agenda.

On 14 September 2015, the Board of Directors, in compliance with Art. 154-bis of the TUF and Art. 20.4 (ii) of the Articles of Association, having received the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, appointed Alessandro Esposti as the Manager in charge of financial reporting of the Company, checking his requirements in compliance with the parameters shown below. Mr. Esposti holds the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company and of Investor Relations Officer.

The Manager in charge of financial reporting has all the powers required for the performance of his functions with specific reference to having access to all the information required.

The Board of Directors verifies that the Manager in charge of financial reporting has adequate powers and means and supervises the effective compliance with the administrative and accounting procedures arranged by this.

Pursuant to Art. 154-bis of the TUF, the actions and communications of the Company disclosed to the market, including interim accounting disclosures, are accompanied by a written statement of the Manager in charge of financial reporting, to the effect that they correspond to the accounting documents, books and records. To this purpose, the Manager in charge of financial reporting, during the 2016 financial year, supervised the updating of the administrative and accounting procedures for the preparation of the separate financial statements and of the consolidated financial statements, as well as of any other communication of a financial nature.

The Manager in charge of financial reporting has also co-ordinated the work useful for the drafting of the so-called "Non-financial Report" drawn up for the first time by the company in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree No. 254 dated 30 December 2016.

There are no specific subjects within the company with specific tasks concerning internal control and risk management outside the entire group of employees of the company who are constantly encouraged to be protagonists of an internal control system that is an integral part of any daily activity carried out when carrying out their tasks.

Finally, in December 2017, the compliance of the Internal Control and Risk Management System with the quality requirements pursuant to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, whose basic requirements include operating with an orientation to corporate risks, was acknowledged.

During the board meeting of 9 March 2018, Mr. Esposti reported that, as Manager in charge of financial reporting and as Administration and Finance Manager of the Company, he has the powers to directly access information useful for producing accounting figures without the need for authorisations, as well as actively participate in the internal flows relevant for accounting purposes. In addition to this, the company procedures that impact on the financial and economic situation of the Company are subject to his approval. The information flows are facilitated also by his attendance, where appropriate, at the meetings of the Board of Directors, as well as by the collaboration to the modulation of corporate information systems.

For what concerns the available means, Mr. Esposti reported that he manages his own office to organise the activities, he has and uses technical means and resources fit for the current business situation and he makes use of other company units for mapping the pertaining processes. With regard to administrative and accounting procedures, the Manager in charge of financial reporting also reported that the Company updated as required the procedures already in force, for the purposes of adjusting to the development of the relevant regulatory provisions or organisational changes occurred.

11.6 CO-ORDINATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

All the activities carried out by the subjects involved in the Internal Control and Risk Management System, listed above, are coordinated so as to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the System, also in order to reduce duplications of activities.

If the correlation with one of the Standing Auditors of the Company exists, the interested Auditor informs immediately the other Auditors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors on the existence of the interest, on its nature, terms and extent.

On 14 September 2015, the Board of Directors set up the Related Party Transactions Committee by appointing on 3 December 2015 Mario Artali (Chairman), Alberica Brivio Sforza and Alberto Picciau as members of the Related Party Committee, after having verified that they are in possession of the independence requirements, pursuant to the matters established by the combined provisions of Art. 147-ter, paragraph 4, and 148, paragraph 3, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF), and by the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code of listed companies.

During 2018, 6 meetings of the Committee are expected to be held, including 2 already held on 12 February 2018 and 5 March 2018.

13.0 APPOINTMENT OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

Pursuant to Art. 23 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Statutory Auditors of Openjobmetis includes three standing auditors and two alternate auditors, who are appointed by the General Shareholders' Meeting for a period of three financial years and can be re-elected at the end of their mandate.

One standing auditor (who is appointed Chairman) and one alternate auditor are chosen by the minority.

The auditors must have the requirements of honourableness, independence and professionalism established by the legal and regulatory provisions in force.

Without prejudice to the situations of ineligibility provided by law, those holding administration and control offices - to an extent equal to or exceeding the limits established by the laws and regulations in force - cannot be appointed as auditors, and if elected, they fall from the office.

The Board of Statutory Auditors is elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting – in compliance with binding legal and regulatory provisions in force concerning gender balance – on the basis of lists presented by the Shareholders in which the candidates must be listed by means of a progressive number.

Only Shareholders representing, individually or jointly, at least 4.5% of the share capital or a different percentage envisaged by laws and regulations in force for the presentation of lists for the Board of Directors have the right to present lists.

For the presentation, publication and deposit of the lists and the documentation to be enclosed with the lists, the legal and regulatory provisions in force apply. In particular, the declarations by which each candidate accepts his/her candidature and declares, under his/her own responsibility, that there are no reasons to exclude their eligibility, that there are no incompatibility issues, and that they comply with all the requirements prescribed by laws and regulations in force and by the Articles of Association to act as Director, must be filed along with each list.

The lists are divided into two sections: one for candidates for the position of Standing Auditor and the other for candidates for the position of Alternate Auditor. The first candidate in each section must be in the register of auditors and have carried out auditing activities for a period no less than three years.

If binding legal and regulatory criteria related to gender balance apply, the lists that present three or more candidates (considering both the "Standing Auditors" and the "Alternate Auditors" section) must include in the "Standing Auditors" section candidates of both genders, to guarantee the presence in the Board of Statutory Auditors of a number of standing auditors at least equal to the minimum required by the binding legal and regulatory provisions temporarily in force for the least represented gender. If binding legal and regulatory criteria related to gender balance apply, and the "Alternate Auditors" section includes two candidates, these must be of different genders.

A Shareholder cannot present nor contribute to present, nor vote for, directly, or through a third party, more than one list and each candidate may appear in one single list, under penalty of ineligibility. The supports and the votes expressed in violation of this restriction will not be assigned to any list.

The lists presented without observing the above provisions are considered as not presented.

The election of the auditors takes place as follows:

(i) two standing auditors and one alternate auditor are taken from the list that has obtained the highest number of votes, in the progressive order with which they are listed in the sections of the list itself;
(ii) the last standing auditor, who shall take the position of Chairman, and the last alternate auditor are taken from the list that has obtained the second highest number of votes, in the progressive order with which they are listed in the sections of the list itself, provided this list is not related in any way, not even indirectly, with the shareholders that have presented or voted for the list placed first.

In the case in which the first two or more lists obtain an equal number of votes, there will be a new ballot by the General Shareholders' Meeting, with only these lists put to the vote. The same rule applies in the case of parity between lists that have obtained the second highest number of votes, provided they are not related, not even indirectly, to the shareholders that have presented or voted the list placed first. In case of further parity between lists, the one presented by the shareholders with the largest number of shares or, secondarily, by the highest number of shareholders, shall prevail. In the case of presentation of a single list, or in the case in which no list is presented, the General Shareholders' Meeting resolves with the majority of law, in compliance with the binding legal and regulatory provisions in force concerning gender balance, without following the method described above.

If the candidates elected with the procedures described above do not produce in the Board of Statutory Auditors a number of standing auditors of the least represented gender at least equal to the minimum required by the legal and regulatory provisions temporarily in force for the least represented gender, the candidate of the gender more represented elected last in progressive order in the list that has obtained the highest number of votes shall be replaced by the first non-elected candidate to the position of standing auditor of the least represented gender of the same list according to the progressive order. This procedure of replacement will be applied until the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors complies with the rules temporarily in force on gender balance. If said procedure does not ensure in the Board of Statutory Auditors the presence of a number of standing auditors of the least represented gender at least equal to the minimum required by the binding legal and regulatory provisions temporarily in force, the replacement will take place with resolution taken by the General Shareholders' Meeting by relative majority, after presentation of candidates of the least represented gender.

For the appointment of auditors that takes place outside the case of renewal of the whole Board of Statutory Auditors, the General Shareholders' Meeting resolves with the majority of law and without following the method described above, but in any case ensuring that the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors meets the legal and regulatory provisions temporarily in force, also in regard to gender balance. In case of replacement of one of the standing auditors, this is replaced by the alternate auditor from the same list as the auditor replaced. If said procedure does not ensure in the Board of Statutory Auditors the presence of a number of standing auditors of the least represented gender at least equal to the minimum required by the binding legal and regulatory provisions temporarily in force, the replacement will take place with resolution by the General Shareholders' Meeting, after presentation of candidates of the least represented gender, in compliance with legal and regulatory provisions on gender balance, as specified below.

The General Shareholders' Meeting that will have to appoint standing and alternate auditors necessary to complete the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to Article 2401 of the Italian Civil Code must choose from the list to which the auditor who ceased to hold office belongs; if there are no more candidates indicated in the same list of the auditor who ceased to hold office, the General Shareholders' Meeting appoints the auditors of the Company with resolution passed by relative majority vote of those present. No changes occur to the obligation to observe the mandatory pro tempore laws and regulations in force on gender balance.

Diversity policies

As mentioned, by means of resolution dated 19 December 2017 the Board of Directors adopted a diversity policy in relation to the composition of the administration, management and control bodies.

For greater details with regard to the objectives and the implementation methods for said policy, please see section 4.2 of this Report.

At the time of the first renewal of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors - envisaged in concurrence with the approval of the 2017 annual financial statements - following the trading of the Company's Shares on the screen-based stock exchange (MTA), the Shareholders will present the lists of candidates taking into account both the professional requirements envisaged by the law and the assessments and recommendations of the Board of Directors with regard to the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, drawn upon the basis of the contents and the objectives of the Diversity policies.

During the Financial year, the Board of Statutory Auditors met 14 times, and precisely on 10/01, 07/02, 01/03, 13/03, 16/03, 21/03, 24/3, 12/05, 14/06, 02/08, 29/09, 07/11, 05/12, and 11/12, for an average duration of approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes per meeting.

During the 2018 financial year, 9 meetings are expected to be held, including 3 already held on 30/1, 20/2 and 27/2.

One change occurred in the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors from appointment todate. On 24 May 2017, Mr. Francesco Di Carlo tendered his resignation from the office of Standing Auditor of the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors. The office was therefore undertaken by the Alternate auditor Stefania Bettoni, appointed by the General Shareholders' Meeting on 2 November 2015 - until the Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 April 2017 took steps to supplement the Board of Statutory Auditors with the appointment of Giovanni Luigi Rovetta as standing auditor. At that time, Ms. Bettoni was appointed by the General Shareholders' Meeting as alternate auditor.

The compliance with independence criteria was checked on the occasion of appointment both pursuant to Art. 148, par. 3 of the TUF and of Art. 8.C.1 of the Code. Moreover, the Board of Statutory Auditors assessed the independence of its members at the earliest opportunity after the appointment of its members.

The Board of Statutory Auditors checks the existence of the independence requirements of its members annually. The assessment was last carried out on 10 January 2017 and 12 May 2017 (at the time of the introduction of the new auditor Mr. Rovetta) with a positive outcome and confirmation of the independence requirements as reported to the Board of Directors during the meeting of 9 March 2018.

When carrying out the aforementioned assessments, the criteria envisaged by the Corporate Governance Code were applied with reference to the independence of the Directors.

In accordance with point 2.C.2 of the Code, the structure and the contents of the Board meetings, as well as the participation in the Committees ensures an on-going update of the statutory auditors with regard to the company and market situation; the statutory auditors are also constantly updated on the main legislative and self-regulatory innovations also via participation in conventions on the reference matters.

On a consistent basis with the matters envisaged by point 8.C.4 of the Code, it is required that the statutory auditor who, on own account or that of third parties, has an interest in a specific transaction of the Issuer, promptly and fully inform the other auditors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors with regard to the nature, terms, origin and extent of their interest.

When carrying outs its activities, the Board of Statutory Auditors coordinates with the Internal Audit unit and with the Control and Risk Committee exchanging the significant information for the accomplishment of the respective tasks.

15.0 RELATIONS WITH THE SHAREHOLDERS

The Company believes it is in its own specific interest, as well as being a duty towards the market, to establish regular dialogue with the Shareholders in general, as well as with institutional investors, based on the reciprocal understanding of the roles; this dialogue is in any case to be carried out in compliance with the rules and procedures that regulate the disclosure of inside information.

To this regard, the Company has appointed on 14 September 2015, Mr Alessandro Esposti as investor relations officer.

The Company has also created a dedicated section of the website of the Company (www.openjobmetis.it) to ensure that the most relevant company documentation is made available promptly and on an on-going basis. Specifically, on said website, investors are able to view, in Italian and English, all the press releases issued to the market, the periodic accounting documentation of the Company approved by the competent corporate bodies (financial statements for the year and consolidated financial statements; half-year reports; quarterly reports), as well as the documentation distributed at the meetings with professional investors, analysts and the financial community.

Moreover, the Articles of Association, the documentation prepared for the shareholders' meetings, the communications on internal dealing, this Report and any other document whose publication on the website is required by applicable rules are easily identifiable and available of the Company's website.

16.0 GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS (pursuant to Art 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter c) of the TUF)

The General Shareholders' Meeting is responsible for resolving by means of the formalities and on the business envisaged by the law and the Articles of Association, in ordinary and extraordinary session. Specifically, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting appoints and removes the Directors, the statutory auditors and the audit company, seeing to their remuneration; approves the financial statements, expresses it opinion on the remuneration policies for Directors and Key management personnel. The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolves on the Article of Association amendments, if the Board of Directors has not already been granted the faculty to do so, and on extraordinary transactions, such as share capital increases, mergers and spin-offs.

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting in any event meets each year within one hundred and twenty days of the end of the financial year or at the most within one hundred and eighty days of the same when, in the opinion of the Board of Directors and when the legal conditions apply, particular needs require as such.

Without prejudice to the powers set by specific legal provisions, the ordinary or extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting is called, with the procedures and in the terms set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force, by the Board of Directors, at the registered office, or in other Italian location specified in the call notice.

The legitimation to attend and vote in any event is unaffected if the communication is received by the Company beyond said deadlines provided that it is received by the start of the work of each individual call.

Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings are held in single call and satisfy quorum requirements and resolve validly with the majorities established by law. For information relating to the majorities of the voting right, please refer to section 2.0, letter a) of this Report.

No steps were taken to reduce the constraints and requirements of the Shareholders for attending the General Shareholders' Meeting and for exercising the voting rights.

In addition to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the directors of the Company Rosario Rasizza (MD), Stefano Ghetti, Biagio La Porta (executive director), Alberto Picciau (independent director) and Corrado Vittorelli attended this meeting.

The Board of Directors reported to the Shareholders on the activities carried out during 2016 and those planned for 2017 by means of publication of the report on the Company's website on 21 March 2017, illustrating:

− the draft annual financial statements as at 31 December 2016 and the draft consolidated annual financial statements as at 31 December 2016;
− the corporate governance and the ownership structures relating to 2016;
− the Remuneration Policy pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF and the 2016-2018 Phantom

The publication of the afore-mentioned Illustrative Reports ensured the Shareholders suitable disclosure so that the same were able to adopt, in full knowledge, the decisions which they are responsible for during the General Meeting held on 20 April 2017.

The Shareholders are made aware of the formalities for the exercise and functioning of the Remuneration Committee by means of this Report, in section 8.

During the General Shareholders' Meeting, the Chairman noted the regularity of the call and powers, acknowledging that for what concerns the annual financial statements information requirements regulated by Art. 77 et sequitur of the Issuers' Regulations were regularly carried out as well as the obligations on making available to the public any further document envisaged for the items on the agenda of the General Shareholders' Meeting.

Agenzia per il lavoro", available on its website (www.openjobmetis.it, Corporate Governance/Shareholders' Meeting section).
