The authority remains subject to the requirements that treasury shares held by the Company and its subsidiaries from time to time may not in any case exceed 10% of the Company's share capital, or any other maximum amount provided for by the law in force at the time, and those purchases must be carried out within the limits of distributable profits and available reserves, as reported in the latest approved financial statements.
