We remind you also that, Consob, with Communication n. DEM/9017893 of February 26, 2009, recommended “to shareholders who present a “minority slate” to file, together with the slate, a statement in which it is certified the lack of relationships of affiliation, also indirectly, as provided in articles 147-ter, paragraph 3, of Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998 and in article 144-quinquies of Consob Resolution No. 11971 of May 14, 1999, with those shareholders who own, also on a jointly basis, a controlling or a relative majority stake, where they can be identified on the basis of the filings of the relevant shareholdings required by article 120 of the Consolidated Financial Act or on the basis of the publication of the shareholders' agreements pursuant to article 122 of the same Act”, specifying the possible significant relationships, if existing, with those shareholders who control or own a relatively majority stake into the Company.
In this respect, please note that, on the basis of the communications made pursuant to article 120 of Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998, the Company results to be subject to the de facto control of the Ministry of Economics and Finance, which, owing a shareholding equal to the 31.24% of the share capital, has enough voting rights to exercise a dominant influence in the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company (it being understood that the aforesaid Ministry is not in any way involved in managing and coordinating the Company, in accordance with the provisions of article 19, paragraph 6 of Decree Law No. 78/2009, converted into Law No. 102/2009, which has clarified that the provisions of the Italian Civil Code regarding the management and coordination of companies do not apply to the Italian Government).
