Report on Operations
Board of Statutory Auditors
In accordance with Article 17 of the By-laws, the Board of Statutory Auditors is composed of three regular auditors and three alternates, all of whom must
be entered in the Register of Auditors and have at least three years of experience as a statutory account auditor. They may, within the legal limit, also hold
other positions as director or statutory auditor.
In accordance with Legislative Decree 58/98, Article 17 of the Company’s By-laws establishes the right for appropriately constituted minority groups to
appoint one regular auditor, who serves as Chairman, and one alternate. The By-laws also establish that the minimum equity interest required for submission
of a list of candidates for elections of the Statutory Auditors may not be lower than the percentage required by law for elections of the Board of Directors.
The lists presented, together with the documentation required by law and the Company’s By-laws, must be placed on record at the Company’s registered
office at least 25 days prior to the date set for the General Meeting on first call.
On 4 April 2012, the Board of Statutory Auditors was elected using a voting list system.
The Statutory Auditors are: Ignazio Carbone, Chairman; Lionello Jona Celesia and Piero Locatelli, regular auditors; and Lucio Pasquini, Fabrizio Mosca
and Corrado Gatti, alternate auditors. The regular auditors Lionello Jona Celesia and Piero Locatelli were elected from the list presented by the majority
shareholder EXOR S.p.A. and Ignazio Carbone, Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, was elected from the minority list presented by a group of
Italian and international asset managers and institutional investors holding 1.86% of ordinary shares (a complete list of those shareholders is provided in the
Annual Report on Corporate Governance). The minimum equity interest required to submit a list of candidates was 1% of ordinary shares, as established
by Consob with reference to Fiat’s average market capitalization for the fourth quarter of 2011. Additional information provided to Shareholders on the
candidates and lists presented are available in the Investor Relations section of the Group website (www.fiatspa.com).
