Limitations on Shareholdings. The Company’s By-laws provide that no person, in any capacity, may own Shares and/or ADSs representing 3% or more of its outstanding Shares without the approval of the Italian government. The 3% limit may be cancelled only after a three-year period has expired. This limit does not apply in the event that it is exceeded as a result of certain types of tender offers as provided under Italian law. The limitation on shareholding is calculated taking into account, among other things, Shares owned by controlling entities and directly or indirectly controlled entities, as well as entities controlled by the same controlling entity; and affiliated personal entities, including spouses and other closely related personal relatives. The Company’s By-laws restrict the ability of any entity to exercise any voting rights attributable to Shares and/or ADSs held or controlled by that entity representing more than 3% of the Company’s voting share capital. This restriction does not apply to any shareholdings held by the Italian state, other public entities, or other entities controlled by the state or other public entities. The voting rights of each entity to whom this limit on shareholding applies are reduced correspondingly. In the event that Shares held or controlled in excess of the 3% threshold are voted, any shareholders’ resolution adopted pursuant to this vote may be challenged if the majority required to approve this resolution would not have been reached without the vote of Shares exceeding this threshold. Shares not entitled to be voted are nevertheless counted for purposes of determining the quorum at a shareholders’ meeting.
