whenever possible, such Directors are to be replaced by other candidates belonging to the same slate of the Directors who have left their office;

satisfaction of the requirements for their respective offices specified by the law and regulations in force, by the Bank of Italy's Supervisory Regulations applicable to Poste Italiane and by the corporate bylaws, and the additional documentation required by Article 144 octies, paragraph 1, letter b) of Consob Resolution No. 11971 of May 14, 1999.

Please note that the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (2018 edition) recommends to file the slates together with the candidates' declaration of possession of the independence requirements set forth in Article 3 of the same Code, if that is the case.

Please be advised that those who submit a minority slate are also subject to the recommendations made by Consob in Communication No. DEM/9017893 of February 26, 2009.
