Without prejudice to the additional independence requirements imposed on Directors by the TUF, by supervisory regulations or by the provisions contained in the Corporate Governance Code implemented by the Company, a Director may normally be considered independent if he or she:

a) does not have, directly, indirectly or on behalf of third parties, nor has had in the last 3 (three) years, personal, professional or economic relations with the Company, its subsidiaries or executive directors, or the shareholder or group of shareholders that control the Company, of such significance as to affect their independent judgement;

Fulfilment of the Independence Requirements must be declared by the interested party at the time of submission of slates and then verified after appointment by the Board of Directors.

Any failure on the part of a Director to meet these Independence Requirements does not result in the removal of a Director from office if the requirements continue to be met by the aforementioned minimum number of Directors.

In addition to the requirements established by the applicable legislation - including selfregulation - at least 1 (one) of the members of the management body must have experience of at least three years in total of oversight of corporate governance systems and corporate risks, specifically those of an environmental and social nature (hereinafter, such experience requirements are referred to as the "Competence Requirements").

With regard to the slates submitted by shareholders, ownership of the minimum equity investment is determined with regard to the shares registered to the shareholder on the day on which the slates are filed with the Company; the relevant certification may also be produced, including after filing, provided that this is within the deadline provided for by legislation and regulations applicable pro tempore for the publication of such slates.

13.5 Slates submitted by shareholders must be filed at the registered office - including by any remote means of communication defined by the Board of Directors in accordance with procedures disclosed in the notice of meeting, allowing for the identification of the persons making the filing - at least 25 (twenty-five) days prior to the date scheduled for the Shareholders' Meeting called to resolve on the appointment of Directors.

Any slate submitted by the Board

of Directors must be filed at the registered office and published in the manner described above at least 30 (thirty) days before the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting called to resolve on the appointment of Directors.

13.6 The slates contain a number of candidates not exceeding the maximum number of Directors provided for by the Articles of Association, each next to a sequential number. In addition:

a) in order to comply with the minimum number of Independent Directors referred to in Article 13.2 above, each slate containing 2 (two) or more candidates must also contain and expressly indicate a number of candidates meeting the Independence Requirements equal to at least half (to be determined by rounding up, where necessary);

b) in order to ensure gender balance in accordance with legislation applicable pro tempore, each slate containing 3 (three) or more candidates must contain and expressly indicate a number of candidates such as to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors complies with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable from time to time to companies listed on regulated markets on gender balance (male and female), it being understood that if the application of the gender allocation criterion does not result in a whole number, it must be rounded up in accordance with the regulatory provisions applicable from time to time;

c) each slate containing 7 (seven) or more candidates must contain and expressly indicate: (i) the candidate for Chairman and the candidate for Chief Executive Officer; and (ii) candidates meeting the Competence Requirements.

13.7 To each slate must be attached: (i) the curriculum vitae of the candidates, together with information on management and control posts held in other companies; (ii) statements in which each of the candidates accepts his or her candidacy and confirms, under his or her own responsibility, that no grounds exist for ineligibility, incompatibility or disqualification, and that he or she meets the requirements established by applicable law for the position of Director of the Company, including a declaration regarding any possession of the Independence Requirements and/or the Competence Requirements; (iii) an indication of the identities of the shareholders who submitted the slate and the overall percentage equity investment held (where applicable), as well as a brief description of the candidate selection process; (iv) an indication of the main professional competence of each candidate; (v) the declarations of shareholders who are submitting, or participating in the submission, of a slate, other than shareholders who hold, individually or jointly, a controlling or relative majority stake, certifying the absence vis-à-vis such shareholders of relationships of association classified as significant by legislation applicable pro tempore and applicable to the Company; and (vi) any other additional or other declaration, information and/or document required by law and by applicable regulations.

13.8 Each shareholder, shareholders belonging to the same corporate group (meaning the parent company, subsidiaries and companies subject to joint control) and shareholders participating in a significant shareholders' agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, may

not submit or contribute to the submission, including through an intermediary or trust company, of more than one slate, or vote for different slates. Furthermore, each candidate may only appear on one slate, on penalty of ineligibility.

13.9 Slates submitted that do not comply with the above provisions are regarded as not submitted. However, the absence of documentation on individual candidates on a slate does not automatically mean that the entire slate is excluded, but only those candidates to whom the irregularities relate.

13.10 If more than one slate has been submitted, at the end of the voting candidates will be elected from the two slates obtaining the highest number of votes, identified according to the following criteria: (i) a number of Directors equal to the total number of members to be elected are taken from the slate obtaining the highest number of votes, in sequential order of presentation on the slate; and (ii) one Director is taken from the slate obtaining the secondhighest number of votes that is not associated, including indirectly, with the shareholders that submitted or with those who voted for the slate obtaining the highest number of votes, in the person of the candidate indicated with the first number on the slate. If the slate obtaining the highest number of votes does not contain a sufficient number of candidates to ensure the achievement of the number of Directors to be elected indicated in point (i) above, the remaining Directors are taken from the slate obtaining the second-highest number of votes; in the event that there are insufficient candidates on that second slate, the remaining Directors are appointed from any additional slates in the order of the votes they have obtained.

13.11 In the event of a tie between slates, a new vote is held by the Shareholders' Meeting and candidates who obtain a simple majority of votes without application of the slate voting mechanism are elected.

13.12 If, at the end of the voting, the legal and regulatory provisions and Articles of Association applicable to the Company from time to time are not complied with in relation to the fulfilment of: (a) the Competence Requirements, and/or (b) the gender balance requirements (male and female) and/or (c) the Independence Requirements, candidates who do not meet, as the case may be, the Competence Requirements and/or gender balance requirements and/or Independence Requirements, elected last in sequential order from the slate obtaining the majority of votes, will be excluded, and will be replaced with the first unelected candidate(s), drawn from the same slate - or from any additional slates in ascending order of the numbers of votes obtained, as provided in Article 13.10 - that meet the said requirement(s). This replacement procedure will be carried out until the Board of Directors is composed in accordance with all the requirements prescribed by Article 13.2 above of the Articles of Association. In the event that it is not possible to implement this replacement procedure or as a result of the same procedure the above composition of the Board of Directors is not guaranteed, in order to ensure compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions and Articles of Association applicable from time to time and applicable to the Company regarding, as the case may be, the experience gained by the directors and/or independence and/or gender allocation (male and female), the missing Directors will be elected by the Shareholders' Meeting according to the ordinary methods and majorities, without applying the slate voting mechanism.

13.13 If only one slate has been submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting will vote on it and, if it obtains a relative majority of votes, all members of the Board of Directors will be taken from

that slate in compliance with the provisions of the law, regulations and Articles of Association, applicable from time to time and applicable to the Company, including with regard to the Competence Requirements and/or the gender balance (male and female) and/or Independence Requirements.

13.14 In the absence of slates, or if only one slate is submitted and does not obtain the relevant majority of votes, or if, pursuant to Article 13.10, the number of Directors elected on the basis of the submitted slates is less than the number of members to be elected, or if the entire Board of Directors is not to be renewed, or if it is not possible for any reason to appoint the Board of Directors in the manner provided for in this Article, the members of the Board of Directors will be appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting in the manner and with the ordinary majorities, without application of the slate voting mechanism, without prejudice to the obligation to maintain the number of Directors in compliance with the provisions of law and/or regulations and/or Articles of Association applicable from time to time, including with regard to the gender balance (male and female) and/or the Independence Requirements and/or the Competence Requirements.

13.15 The Directors hold office for a period, established by the Shareholders' Meeting, not exceeding three financial years. Their term of office expires on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last financial year of their term of office, and they may be re-elected.

13.16 If, during the year, one or more Directors cease to hold office, due to resignation, removal or for any other reason, the Directors remaining in office must replace them by cooption pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, in compliance, where appropriate, with the Independence Requirements and the statutory criteria for the professional competence of the Director to be replaced as well as the current rules pro tempore on gender balance.

Article 20

20.1 The Board of Statutory Auditors is composed of 3 (three) Standing Auditors and 2 (two) Alternate Auditors, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of slates submitted by shareholders, in accordance with the procedures set out in the following articles, without prejudice, in any case, to other and additional provisions established by mandatory laws or regulations. Statutory Auditors must meet the requirements of eligibility, professionalism, integrity and independence established by law and by these Articles of Association, including the requirements of professionalism and integrity referred to in Article 148, paragraph 4, of the TUF, as well as any other requirements and/or criteria, including the criteria of fitness and properness, dedication of time and specific limits on the accumulation of positions provided for by legislation applicable pro tempore. The composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors ensures gender balance in accordance with the provisions of the current rules on gender balance pro tempore.

20.2 Shareholders who, at the time of submitting the slate, hold, alone or together with other submitting shareholders, an equity investment at least equal to that determined in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, which will be notified from time to time in the notice of meeting of the Shareholders' Meeting, may submit a slate for the appointment of the Statutory Auditors. Ownership of the minimum equity investment is determined with regard to the shares registered to the shareholder on the day on which the slates are filed with the issuer; the relevant certification may also be produced, including after filing, provided that this is within the deadline provided for the publication of such slates.

20.3 The slates are filed at the registered office, in the manner prescribed by current legislation, at least 25 (twenty-five) days before the scheduled date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to resolve on the appointment of the Statutory Auditors. The slates must also be made available to the public by the Company in the manner and within the time limits provided for by the legislation, including regulations applicable pro tempore.

20.4 The slates must contain the names of one or more candidates for the office of Standing Auditor and one or more candidates for the office of Alternate Auditor. The names of the candidates are marked in each section ("Statutory Auditors" section, "Alternate Auditors" section) by a progressive number. The number of candidates may not in any case be greater than the number of members of the body to be elected. If the slates contain, taking both sections into account, a number of candidates equal to or greater than 3 (three), they must contain in both sections a number of candidates such as to ensure that the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors (both standing and alternate members) complies with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable from time to time to companies listed on regulated markets with regard to gender balance (male and female), it being understood that if the application of the gender balance criterion does not result in a whole number, it must be rounded down.

20.5 The following documents must be attached to each slate, on penalty of inadmissibility:

i) information on the identity of the shareholders who submitted the slate, indicating the overall percentage investment in the share capital with voting rights that they hold;

ii) a declaration by shareholders other than those that hold, individually or jointly, a controlling or relative majority stake, certifying the absence of relationships of association with the latter in accordance with current regulations;

iii) comprehensive information on the personal and professional characteristics of the candidates, as well as a declaration by the candidates certifying that they meet the requirements laid down by law, and acceptance of their candidacies, accompanied by the list of management and control positions held by them at other companies;

iv) any other additional or other declaration, information and/or document required by law and by applicable regulations.

20.6 Each shareholder, shareholders belonging to the same corporate group (meaning the parent company, subsidiaries and companies subject to joint control) and shareholders participating in a significant shareholders' agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, may not submit or contribute to the submission, including through an intermediary or trust company, of more than one slate, or vote for different slates. Furthermore, each candidate may only appear on one slate, on penalty of ineligibility.

20.7 If only one slate has been submitted on the deadline for submission of slates, or only slates submitted by associated shareholders pursuant to the applicable provisions have been submitted, slates may be submitted up to the third day after that date. In this case, the thresholds set above for the submission of slates will be reduced to half.

20.8 Slates submitted that do not comply with the above provisions are regarded as not submitted. However, the absence of documentation on individual candidates on a slate does not automatically mean that the entire slate is excluded, but only those candidates to whom the irregularities relate.

20.9 The election of the Statutory Auditors takes place as follows: (i) from the slate obtaining the highest number of votes (the "Majority Slate") are taken, in the sequential order in which they are listed on the slate, two Standing Auditors and one Alternate Auditor; (ii) from the slate obtaining the second-highest number of votes that is not associated, including indirectly, with the shareholders submitting or voting for the Majority Slate in accordance with the applicable provisions, in the sequential order in which they are listed on the slate, are taken the third Standing Auditor ("Minority Auditor"), who will be responsible for chairing the Board of Statutory Auditors, and the second Alternate Auditor ("Minority Alternate Auditor"). In the event of a tie between slates, a new vote is held by the Shareholders' Meeting and candidates who obtain a simple majority of votes without applying the slate voting mechanism are elected.

20.10 If, at the end of the voting, the legal and regulatory provisions applicable from time to time on gender balance (male and female) are not complied with, the candidate for Standing Auditor or Alternate Auditor of the most represented gender elected last in sequential order from the Majority Slate will be excluded and will be replaced by the candidate for Standing Auditor or Alternate Auditor taken from the same slate and belonging to the other gender.

20.11 If only one slate has been submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting votes on it, and if it obtains a majority of the votes, the three Standing Auditors and two Alternate Auditors indicated on the slate as candidates for those positions are elected, in accordance with the legislative and regulatory provisions applicable from time to time, including with regard to gender balance

(male and female) (including rounding down if the application of the gender allocation criterion does not result in a whole number).

20.12 Statutory Auditors hold office for 3 (three) financial years, are eligible for re-election and their office expires on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the third financial year of their office. Without prejudice to compliance with the provisions of law and regulations applicable from time to time on gender balance (male and female), in the event that, for any reason, (i) a Standing Auditor taken from the Majority Slate ceases to hold office, he or she will be replaced by the Alternate Auditor taken from the Majority Slate; (ii) the Minority Auditor ceases to hold office, he or she will be replaced by the Minority Alternate Auditor. If for any reason it is not possible to proceed within the above time limits, the eldest Alternate will take over, and the Shareholders' Meeting must be convened so that it can supplement the Board by the ordinary methods and majorities, without applying the slate voting mechanism, without prejudice to compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable from time to time on gender balance (male and female).

20.13 In the absence of slates, or if it is not possible for any reason to appoint the Board of Statutory Auditors in the manner provided for in this Article, the three standing auditors and the two alternate auditors shall be appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting with the ordinary majorities provided for by law, in accordance with the legislative and regulatory provisions, from time to time applicable, including with regard to gender balance (male and female).
