Furthermore, since Webuild S.p.A. is a listed company subject to the direction and coordination of another company (Salini Costruttori S.p.A.), appointment proposals must consider the provisions of Article. 16 of the Market Regulation adopted by Consob Resolution no. 20249 of December 28, 2017, and its subsequent amendments.

That said, the Board of Directors invites you to appoint the Company's Directors, pursuant to the abovementioned provisions.
