It was considered important, when composing the list, that the persons on it should be sensitive to
and knowledgeable of matters of interest to different stakeholders and in particular to those of the
world of work and of national and international investors.
The legislation on gender balance did in fact represent an important opportunity which the Board
intended to grasp, thanks to the greater variety of expertise and experience acquired at home and
abroad that the female candidates selected will be able to bring to the Supervisory Board.
In this context, the list drawn up has a significant degree of diversification in terms of business
experiences, functional expertise, professional backgrounds, international experience and gender
balance with an average age of 58. This will allow the Board to perform effective corporate
governance with processes, systems and behaviours based on international best practices, which
also comply with supervisory authority requirements.
In accordance with the Articles of Association, as with all lists presented for the election of the
Supervisory Board, the list must be supported by at least 500 registered shareholders who have the
right to participate in and vote in shareholders’ meetings convened to elect the Supervisory Board,
who provide documentary evidence of that right according to the legislation in force, or by one or
more registered shareholders who represent at least 0.50% of the share capital.
