With the aim of best pursuing the accelerated growth plans through acquisitions and continuing investments in proprietary platforms to increase the value of the Group and, also in view of the current situation of geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic instability, the Board resolved to propose to the General Meeting not to distribute a dividend.
The Board discussed the possibility of distributing a dividend during the year linked to market developments and future economic and political contingencies.
