Dear Shareholders,

we invite you to approve the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The financial year ended 31 December 2021 closed with a profit for the year of €44,378,158.

In this respect, it is recalled that the financial statements at 31 December 2021 have been examined and approved by the Board of Directors of Sanlorenzo S.p.A. in the meeting held on 10 March 2022. As disclosed on the same day, during the meeting held on 10 March 2022 the Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to allocate the profit for the year, amounting to €44,378,158, as follows:

  • (i) €2,218,908 to legal reserve;
  • (ii) for distribution to the Shareholders a dividend equal to €0.60 gross of withholding taxes for each share outstanding on the ex-dividend date, excluding the treasury shares held by the Company at that date, to be paid on 4 May 2022, with ex-dividend date on 2 May 2022, and record date (date of payment authorisation for the dividend itself, pursuant to Article 83 terdecies of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998) on 3 May 2022; and
  • (iii) the remaining part to the extraordinary reserve.

The amount of the proposed dividend, corresponding to a pay-out of about 40% of the net profit of the Group, in accordance with the provisions of the policy on the distribution of dividends approved by the Board of Directors on 9 November 2019, which provides for a distribution of dividends in an amount between 30% and 40% of the net profit of the Group for the financial years 2020 and 2021, subject to any limitations under strategic investment plans (including any potential acquisitions and business combinations), as well as to the preservation of a sound financial structure and to compliance with covenants under outstanding credit facilities.

On 21 April 2021, the Shareholders' Meeting had resolved to establish a restriction on the extraordinary reserve up to a maximum amount of €8,400,000 pursuant to Article 110, paragraph 8, of Italian Law Decree no. 104 of 14 August 2020, converted into law with amendments by the Italian Law no. 126 of 13 October 2020, as a result of the re-alignment of the tax values of certain fixed assets to the higher accounting values. Such re-alignment, carried out in accordance with the tax regulation, is resulting in a considerable tax saving spread over the depreciation period of the assets being re-aligned and given by the difference between the ordinary rate of direct taxes and the rate of the substitute tax applicable from time to time.

The restriction approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 April 2021, which amounted to €8,400,000, was to be considered as the maximum amount, progressively decreasing in subsequent financial years in relation to the depreciation charges of the assets subject to re-alignment.

In light of the foregoing, the Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to reduce such restriction up to a maximum amount of €7,850,000.

Considering the above, the Board of Directors submits the following proposal for resolution for your approval.
