In order to simplify the annual fulfilments to be carried out by the Shareholders' Meeting, we also propose, in view of the subsequent expiry dates of the plans still in existence and of the related delegations of powers, to take the decision as of now to gradually eliminate the current paragraphs 1 to 8 (as per the above renumbering proposal), as the effectiveness of the reference plans is exhausted, delegating to this end the Board of Directors, with the power to subdelegate to the Chairman, to update clause 6 from time to time, also proceeding to the appropriate renumbering of the same paragraphs.
The amendments to the Articles of Association of UniCredit submitted to the approval of today's UniCredit Shareholders' Meeting – which do not trigger the right of withdrawal of the shareholders pursuant to art. 2437 of the Civil Code – are subject to the authorization of the Supervisory Authorities' pursuant to Sec. 56 of the Legislative Decree 385/93.
