Corporate Bodies

Overview

Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors

The Company has adopted a traditional administration and control model characterized by a Shareholders’ Meeting, a Board of Directors and a Board of Statutory Auditors. This Corporate Governance system is based on the core role of the Board of Directors (as the most senior body delegated to manage the Company in the interests of shareholders), on the transparency of decision-making processes, on an effective internal control system, on careful rules governing potential conflicts of interest and on appropriate standards of conduct for related party transactions.

Board of Directors

Composition

  • It is made up of a number of Directors fixed by the Meeting between 7 and 13. They remain in office for a period not exceeding three financial years and can be re-elected.
  • At least one of the members - or two if the Board has more than seven members - must comply with the independence requirements set out for Auditors in art. 148, paragraph 3 of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
  • At least 2/5 of the Directors must belong to the less represented gender.

Appointment

  • The Board of Directors is appointed on the basis of slates of candidates.
  • Slates can be submitted by the outgoing Board of Directors and by the Shareholders who, alone or together with other Shareholders, represent the minimum threshold of ordinary share capital set annually by Consob.
  • If two or more slates are duly submitted, 5/6 of the Directors to be elected are taken from the slate that obtained the majority of votes, in the order in which they are listed. The remaining Directors are taken from the other slates in the order indicated in the Articles of Association.

The Board of Directors has the broadest possible powers of ordinary and extraordinary administration, except for those, which by law are the exclusive prerogative of the Shareholders’ Meeting
