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.
