It is proposed that the Shareholders' Meeting approve a share ownership plan for all employees, consisting of the offer to subscribe to a maximum of 54,000,000 ordinary shares at a discounted price (10% compared to the market price) and in any case not below the par value, with the possibility of payment by instalments. Subscribers who keep their shares for a year, subject to their retaining the status of Employees, shall be allocated one free share for every three shares subscribed for cash. To service the plan, it is proposed that mandate be issued to the Board of Directors to increase the capital for a maximum total amount of 39,600,000.00 euros partly in cash and partly free of charge, by allocating profits or retained profits. Conferment of the mandate for the increases in capital described, with subsequent amendment of the Bylaws, will not result in the shareholder who disagrees with the approval of the motion having the right of withdrawal.
