Any additions to the agenda shall be notified in the same manner prescribed by law for the notice convening the Shareholders' Meeting, within the terms required by current legislation.

Appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors

For the purposes of the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors, please note that Article 24 of the By-Laws provides for a list voting mechanism, which allows, as required by current legislation, the election of a standing member and an alternate member of the Board of Statutory Auditors by the minority, and that the Chairmanship of the Board is entrusted to the standing member elected by the minority.

Referring to the By-laws and the Directors' Report for the Shareholders' Meeting for all matters not specified herein, please note that entitled Shareholders must submit lists within the terms and according to the procedures and limits referred to in the aforementioned Article 24 of the By-laws and in CONSOB Resolution No. 20273 of 24 January 2018, which established the minimum shareholding percentage required to submit lists. The lists containing the names of the candidates must be filed at the registered office of the Company in Bologna, Via Stalingrado 45, or sent to the certified email address [email protected], at least twenty-five days prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting (and, therefore, by 29 March 2018), by Shareholders who, individually or jointly with other Shareholders contributing to the same list, document that they own a total of at least 1% of the share capital with voting rights at the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting. Certification of this shareholding must be proven by a specific notice from the custodian intermediary, effective until 29 March 2018, and sent to the certified email address [email protected] even after the lists have been filed and, in any case, by 2 April 2018. Please note that, if at the deadline for the filing of lists only one list has been submitted, or only lists submitted by Shareholders connected pursuant to Article 144-quinquies of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation, additional lists may be submitted up to the third day after 29 March 2018 (and, therefore, by 1 April 2018); in this case, the minimum threshold for the filing of lists is reduced to 0.50% of the share capital with voting rights.

Shareholders submitting a "minority list" must also follow the guidelines issued by CONSOB with communication DEM/9017893 of 26 February 2009. In particular, Shareholders wishing to submit a "minority list" must file, together with the list, a declaration certifying the absence of connection, even indirect, with the majority Shareholder pursuant to Article 144-quinquies of the Issuers' Regulation.

Finally, it should be noted that the renewal of the Board of Statutory Auditors must take place in accordance with the regulation on gender equality introduced by Law No. 120 of 12 July 2011, according to the procedure envisaged by Article 24 and Article 33 of the By-Laws.
