Procedure for participation, for exercising votes by proxy and for the conferral of proxies to the Appointed Representative

Legitimate entitlement to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting

Those who, based on the information of the intermediary, are holders of voting rights at the end of the accounting day of the seven stock market trading day before to the date set for the Shareholders’ Meeting on first call, and therefore, at the end of Monday May 18, 2020 (Record Date), are entitled to take part in the Shareholders’ Meeting, and to exercise voting rights, exclusively on the basis of conferral of the appropriate proxy or sub-proxy to the appointed representative (Computershare S.p.A.), as specified below.

Those who are only holders of the right to vote after the Record Date are not entitled to take part and vote at the Shareholders’ Meeting, while any transfer of shares after the Record Date has no effect for the legitimate entitlement to attend and vote.

The legitimate entitlement to attend and vote is certified by a communication sent by the intermediary, in favour of the person holding the voting right, in compliance with his accounting records which prove that the shares were deposited in the party’s account at the end of the date indicated above. The communication must be sent in compliance with the applicable legislation, by the start of the proceedings of the Shareholders’ Meeting on single call and without prejudice to the principle according to which participation and voting at the Shareholders’ Meeting can take place exclusively through conferral of the appropriate proxy and/or sub-proxy to the appointed representative (Computershare S.p.A.).

Partecipation and Voting by proxy via the Appointed Representative by Edison S.p.a.
