– perform any other tasks assigned to it by the Board of Directors.
The Chief Auditor and the CEO may attend the meetings of the Committee for Internal
Control.
Relations with Institutional Investors and Other Shareholders
The Company feels that maintaining an ongoing dialogue with its shareholders and
institutional investors is of prime importance.
Relations with institutional investors and other shareholders are overseen by a specific
Investor Relations department, under the direct control of the Financial Director. Its
responsibilities include handling communications to the financial community,
shareholders and the public, as well as information regarding the Company and its
performance, including confidential and price-sensitive information.
These communications functions are performed through press releases, regular meetings
with institutional investors and the financial community, and through documentation
distributed on the Company's website in the section "Investor Relations". The Company
can also be contacted at the e-mail address ([email protected]).
Shareholders' Meetings
The Company recognises the shareholders' meeting as being of fundamental importance
to Company debate and good relations between its shareholders and the Chairman of the
Board of Directors. For this reason, the Company has always encouraged and facilitated
the participation of shareholders in such meetings, providing them with all the information
they request (while fully respecting all matters covering price-sensitive information).
At its meeting of May 14, 2001, the Board of Directors approved a list of meeting regulations
which was subsequently approved and adopted at the shareholders' Annual General
Meeting of July 16, 2001. These regulations establish the procedures to be followed for the
orderly and functional running of meetings, without at the same time jeopardising the
right of any shareholder to express his or her opinion on the items under discussion.
These regulations cover issues such as the length of speeches from the floor, their order,
voting methods, speeches by the Directors and Auditors, as well as the powers of the
Chairman of the Board to settle or prevent conflict situations which might arise during
such meetings.
The Board of Directors feels, finally, that minority rights are safeguarded since the current
Company Statute does not contain rulings on majority decisions which differ from those
established by law.
