• authorised a treasury share buy-back and disposal program and revoked the previous authorisation granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on 12 April 2018. This program provides the opportunity to purchase, on one or more occasions, a maximum number of shares whose total cannot exceed, at any moment, 10% of share capital. Purchases may not exceed the amount of undistributed earnings and unrestricted reserves reported in the most recently approved annual financial statements. The authorisation to buy back treasury shares will last for 18 months commencing from today's date. The authorisation to dispose of treasury shares has no time limit. The authorisation to buy back and dispose of treasury shares has been sought to give the Company a power that can be exercised:

• to provide the Company with a portfolio of treasury shares (a stock deposit, so called “securities store”), including those already held by the Company, that can be used in any extraordinary transactions (e.g.: mergers, demergers, participation acquisition);

• in order to use the treasury shares purchased to service the exercise of rights arising from convertible debt instruments or instruments exchangeable with financial instruments issued by the Company, its subsidiaries or third parties (e.g.: upon takeover bids or exchange tender offers;

• to dispose of treasury shares to be used as part of incentive plans or share participation plans reserved for Group directors and/or employees;

• to allow efficient management of the Company's capital, by creating an investment opportunity even for its available liquidity.

Treasury shares can be bought back and sold in accordance with applicable laws and regulations:

1. at a minimum price no more than 10% below the stock's official price reported in the trading session on the day before carrying out each individual transaction;

2. at a maximum price no more than 10% above the stock's official price reported in the trading session on the day before carrying out each individual transaction;

• expressed a favourable opinion on the Group’s Remuneration Policies.

The minutes of the Shareholders' Meeting will be made publicly available as and when established by current legislation.
