Stockholders,
We propose to amend certain clauses in the Regulations for
Stockholders Meetings in order to implement the various
changes resulting from the reform of Italian corporate law that
came into effect last year and for which you have already
approved amendment of the Articles of Association.
The proposed amendments are highlighted in the appended
text of the Regulations, and in particular:
■the changes proposed in paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 result from
the clauses found in Articles 2370 and 2371 of the Italian Civil
Code and the new rules governing qualification for
attendance at stockholders meetings that Consob recently
imposed in Article 34 bis of the Market Regulation;
2.3. The Chairman shall be entitled to allow financial analysts or
economic and financial journalists to attend the meetings,
subject to their identification and unless otherwise
resolved by the Meeting.
3. Verification of identity and legitimate entitlement
3.1 Procedures to verify the identity and legitimate entitlement
of those wishing to participate in the Meeting or attend
shall be carried out by company employees carrying an
appropriate identification card, under the responsibility of
the Chairman.Such procedures shall start at least one hour
prior to the time fixed in the summons for the meeting.
3.2. Persons entitled to attend shall present a document
released by a qualified intermediary, or a copy of a
communication released by the intermediary and by the
same forwarded to the Company, in conformity with
applicable law and the Articles of Association.The
persons entitled shall have to collect the attendance
form from the company.
