INVESTOR RELATIONS
Supporting transparent communications, encouraging market confidence in the company and
promoting a long-term approach to investment in the shares are fundamental in order to create value
for the Group's shareholders.
The creation of value for shareholders and other stakeholders is a key priority for Prysmian, whose Group
policy for strategic and financial communications is founded on the highest standards of propriety, clarity and
transparency. Actions and procedures are designed to provide the market with credible information about the
business, with a view to boosting confidence in the Group and facilitating a long-term approach to investment
in our shares. Every effort is made to avoid biased disclosures and ensure that all current and potential
investors receive the same information, so that balanced investment decisions can be made.
Contacts with the financial markets were intense during 2015: Prysmian organised about 400 meetings with
the financial markets, counting conference calls, Group meetings and one-to-one sessions.
When publishing its quarterly data, Prysmian always organises conference calls with institutional investors
and financial analysts and also invites specialist media representatives to take part. Furthermore, Prysmian
promptly informs shareholders and potential shareholders about every action or decision that could have a
material impact on their investment.
The Prysmian Group was involved in numerous road shows during the year, visiting the main financial
markets in Europe and North America, and also participated in conferences organised by leading
international brokers.
The increasing attention paid to the activities of the Group by socially responsible investors (SRI) was
confirmed by their growing attendance at the road shows and meetings held for them. Lastly, the Group
organised various visits to factories and R&D centres for institutional investors and financial analysts during
the year, in order to provide them with more detailed information about its products and production
processes.
The coverage of Prysmian shares by analysts remains very high, with wide geographical diversification.
The Investor Relations function has maintained constant contacts with institutional investors, not least via the
website
www.prysmiangroup.com, which includes the recordings of conference calls and presentations to
the financial community, corporate documentation, press releases and all other information relating to the
Group, in both Italian and English. The Investor Relations section also contains the financial calendar,
meeting documents, the Code of Ethics and contact information for the analysts that track the stock, as well
as specific sections on corporate governance, risk factors and the share price.
