In compliance with art. 106, paragraph 2 of the CFA, unless otherwise stated above, in accordance with the legislation introduced to combat the COVID-19 epidemic, attendance at the General Meeting by corporate officers, the Company Secretary and/or the Notary Public and the Appointed Representative, in addition to any other persons so authorised by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, may only, take place via forms of video or telephone conferencing. This must be done in such a way as to guarantee the Chairman’s ability to identify attendees in accordance with the procedures to be defined by the Chairman and notified to each of the above persons, in compliance with the legislation applicable to such case, without in any event it being necessary for the Chairman, the Secretary or a Notary Public to be present at the same location. 

Only those persons may attend and vote at General Meeting, solely through the Appointed Representative, who have been notified as having voting rights to the Company by an "intermediary" so authorised in accordance with applicable legislation; such notification having been issued in accordance with records at the close of business on 19 April 2021, being the seventh stock exchange trading day preceding the date set for the General Meeting on single call (the "Record Date"), in conformity with articles 83-sexies of the CFA. 

Any deposits in and withdrawals from custody accounts made after the Record Date shall be without effect to a person's right to vote at General Meeting. Consequently, persons who are registered as having title to shares only after the Record Date shall have no right to attend or vote at the General Meeting and therefore will not be entitled to grant a proxy to the Appointed Representative. 

The notifications by the intermediary must arrive no later than 23 April 2021, being it the close of business of the third stock exchange trading day preceding the date set for the General Meeting on single call. The right to attend and vote at General Meeting, solely through the Appointed Representative, however, shall be in case valid should the relevant notice be received by the Company after the above deadline but prior to the opening of the General Meeting.

Shareholders still in the possession of share certificates in scrip form are required to provide the intermediary with the share certificates for entry into the centralised scripless share certificate system and apply for the issuance of the above notification.

Pursuant to Article 106 of Italian Law Decree dated 17 March 2020 No. 18 converted with amendments into Law by Article 1, paragraph 1, of Law dated 24 April 2020 No. 27 and subsequent amendments and additions, attendance at the General Meeting may only take place by granting a proxy to the Appointed Representative designated by the Company (i.e. Computershare SpA, with registered office in Via Lorenzo Mascheroni 19, Milan) alternatively pursuant to:

The proxy form appointing Computershare S.p.A. as the Appointed Representative must include voting instructions on certain and/or all the items on the Agenda and is effective solely with respect to items for which voting instructions have been given. 

The shares for which the proxy, even partially, is granted to the Appointed Representative are calculated for the purposes of the regular constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting. With regard to items for which no voting instructions have been given, relevant shares are not counted for the purposes of calculating the majority and the amount of capital required for the approval of the relevant resolutions.

Granting the proxy to the Appointed Representative does not involve any expenses for the Shareholders, except for those of the eventual shipment of the proxy itself.

For the purposes of attendance at the General Meeting and the exercise of voting rights, appointment of the above Appointed Representative does not exempt the holders of voting rights from the obligation to request the intermediary to provide the Company with the notification concerning their right to attend the General Meeting and exercise voting rights, pursuant to art. 83-sexies of the CFA.

Proxy form, duly filled in and signed, must be received by the Company by the end of the second stock exchange trading day preceding the date set for the General Meeting (i.e. 12 midnight on 26 April 2021).

Appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors

Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall be appointed in the following manner:

  1. three Standing Auditors and one Alternate to be elected shall be taken in sequential order from the list receiving the majority of votes cast by the holders of shares carrying voting rights and in compliance with the applicable laws concerning gender quotas;
  2. the remaining two Standing Auditors shall be taken from the other lists. For that purpose, the votes cast for those other lists shall be successively divided by one and two. The resultant quotients shall be progressively assigned to candidates of each of the said lists, according to the order provided for in the relevant list. The resultant quotients shall be allocated to the candidates on each list who shall then be ranked in decreasing order by the total quotients allocated to them: the two candidates elected shall be those with the highest quotients, provided that the required balance between gender quotas has been complied with;
  3. if, following the vote and the above procedures, legislation concerning the balance between the gender quotas elected has not been complied with, the candidates which would result to be elected in the various lists shall be disposed in one single decreasing ranking list, based on the quotients calculated in accordance with the procedure described above in letter b). The candidate in such ranking list from the most represented gender having the lowest quotient in the ranking shall thus be replaced by the first of the candidates from the least represented gender who would result in not being elected and belonging to the same list. If there are no other candidates in this list, the above replacement shall be approved by the General Meeting with the majority required by law.
    If replacement of the candidate from the most represented gender with the lowest quotient in the ranking does not, however, enable the minimum quota required by the legislation in force to be reached, the above replacement process shall also be applied to the candidate from the most represented gender with the penultimate quotient, and so on rising from the lowest ranked candidate. In the event that candidates have equal quotients, the General Meeting shall hold a new election and the candidate receiving the majority of votes shall be elected provided that the applicable laws concerning the balance between gender quotas have been complied with. 
    The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall be the first candidate on the minority list that obtains the highest number of votes.
    The remaining Alternate Auditor shall be drawn from the list which receives the highest number of votes among the lists submitted and voted for by Shareholders which are not associated with the majority Shareholders according to the applicable law.

Provided that Shareholders can exclusively take part in the General Meeting through the Appointed Representative, the appointment proposals shall be submitted by the Shareholders by 13 April 2021 via certified e-mail to atlantia@pecserviziotitoli.it or fax to +39-06-45417450.

Without prejudice for the above, the Shareholders are invited to submit the appointment proposals as soon as possible and preferably within the deadline established for the submission of the lists of candidates for the office of member of the Board of Statutory Auditors (3 April 2021), provided that all appointment proposals received by 13 April 2021 will be accepted.

Appointment proposals shall be accompanied by (i) exhaustive information regarding candidates’ personal and professional details; (ii) declarations of the individual candidates accepting their candidature and a certification, under personal responsibility, personal warranty that there is no fact or deed that could give rise to their disqualification and that they meet the legal requirements for holding such office, and that, where applicable, they meet the independence requirements established by the legislation and regulations in force and the Corporate Governance Code of Listed Companies.

The right to formulate applications shall be confirmed through adequate documents attesting the proposer’s right to vote at the record date (19 April 2021), subject to the condition that the proposal will be exclusively voted in case a proxy to attend the General Meeting will be granted to the Appointed Representative in line with the terms of the notice of call.
