The shareholders meeting also approved the renewal of the authorization for the purchase and disposition of treasury stock. The company would thus be able to purchase on the market, for the period of 18 months from the resolution passed by the stockholders’ meeting, ordinary and/or preferred and/or savings treasury stock for a maximum disbursement of € 450 million, at a price of not less or not more than 10% of the reference price recorded by the stock in the stock market trading session of the day prior to each single purchase transaction.
