• Board Nomination Process Amendment

  Proposed by-law amendments (Article 16) would allow the outgoing Board of Directors to submit a slate of candidates for the new Board. If the Board submits a slate, other shareholders can only submit slates if the Board has not, potentially limiting shareholder influence in board elections.

• Dividend Proposal

  Shareholders will vote on a gross cash dividend of Euro 0.054 per outstanding Class A and ordinary share for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, with a Dividend Record Date of June 11, 2026.

• Treasury Share Authorization

  The Board seeks authorization to purchase up to 1% of the company's share capital and dispose of up to 1,000,000 treasury shares for purposes including extraordinary transactions and compensation plans.

• External Auditor Appointment

  PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. is proposed for re-appointment as the external auditor for the financial years ending December 31, 2026, 2027, and 2028, with specified annual remuneration.

The upcoming shareholders' meeting includes a vote on significant by-law amendments that would allow the outgoing Board of Directors to submit a slate of candidates for the new Board. If the Board submits a slate, other shareholders would be restricted from submitting their own. This change centralizes power with the incumbent board and could be viewed negatively by investors concerned about corporate governance and shareholder influence. Additionally, shareholders will vote on a dividend distribution and authorization for treasury share transactions.
