With regard to the COVID-19 epidemiological emergency, by virtue of the exceptional discipline contained in the Italian Decree dated March 17, 2020, no. 18, and its subsequent amendments ("Decree"), participation in the Shareholders' Meeting will take place, without access to the meeting rooms, and exclusively through the representative appointed by the Company pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the Italian Legislative Decree of February 24, 1998, no. 58 (TUF), identified in the Società per Amministrazioni Fiduciarie Spafid S.p.A., with registered office in Milan ("Appointed Representative"). Pursuant to art. 106 of said Decree, as better specified hereunder, the Appointed Representative may also be appointed proxies or sub-proxies pursuant to Article 135-novies of the TUF.

It should be noted that Directors, Statutory Auditors, the Meeting's Secretary and the Appointed Representative himself may intervene in the discussions through the use of remote connection systems that guarantee their identification, in compliance with the applicable provisions in force, without the need for the Chairman and Secretary to be in the same place.

Considering the procedures for holding the Shareholders' Meeting, the Meeting will be considered conventionally convened, and held at the Company's registered office.

Share capital

Pursuant to Article 6 of the Bylaws, the issued and fully paid share capital of the Company amounts to €600,000,000.00 and is divided into 893,788,182 shares, without par value, of which 892,172,691 ordinary
