Related and consequent resolutions.
Preamble
By resolution of 29 July 2026, the Board of Directors of Prysmian S.p.A. ( "Prysmian " or the "Company ") resolved to submit to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting a proposal to amend the Company’s By -Laws (the " By-Laws ") in order to align them with the provisions of Article 147 -
ter.1 of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Consolidated Financial Act " or “CFA”), introduced by Law No. 21 of 5 March 2024 (the " Capital Market Law "), as well as with the related implementing provisions contained in Consob Regulation No. 11971/1999 (the " Consob Issuers' Regulation "), adopted by Consob Resolution No. 23725 of 29 October 2025. In particular, these provisions govern the Board of Directors’ right to submit a slate of candidates in connection with the renewal of the Board.
At the same time, it is proposed to align the By -Laws with the recent legislative provisions introduced by Legislative Decree No. 47 of 27 March 2026 (the " Decree "), published in the Official Gazette on 14 April 2026 and entered into force on 29 April 2026, which enacted the comprehensive reform of the Consolidated Financial Act pursuant to the delegation set forth in Article 19 of the Capital Market Law. It is als o proposed to make the consequential textual coordination amendments arising from the foregoing proposed changes. Further alignments with recent legislative provisions and guidance are al so proposed, as described in greater detail below.
1. Reasons for the proposed amendments 1.1. Amendments concerning the rules governing the presentation of a slate of candidates by the Board of Directors in connection with the renewal of the Board This section outlines the principal amendments proposed to the provision contained in Article 14 of the Company By -Laws in order to align it with the new regulatory framework governing the slate presented by the Board of Directors in connection with the re newal of the Board. The text showing the specific proposed amendments is set out in Section 3 below.
As is well known, under the By -Laws currently in force, the outgoing Board of Directors is entitled to submit its own slate of candidates in connection with the renewal of the Board. This matter has been addressed by the reform set forth in Article 147 -ter.1 of the Consolidated Financial Act, introduced by the Capital Market Law, as well as by the implementing provisions included in the Consob Issuers’ Regulation and adopted by CONSOB Resolution No. 23725 of 29 October 2025.
By expressly establishing at pri mary legislation level the right of the outgoing board of companies with listed shares to submit a slate of candidates, the new framework sets out in detail the conditions and limitations governing the exercise of such right and introduces specific rules f or the allocation of board seats where the slate presented by the Board receives the highest number of votes (or is the only slate duly presented).
These provisions necessitate the amendment of Article 14 of the By -Laws as stated above, in order to ensure full compliance with the current regulatory framework, also in view of the renewal of the board of directors of Prysmian, whose mandate will expire at the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company convened to approve the financial statements as at 31 December 2026.
In particular, it is proposed to supplement Article 14 of the Company By -Laws (see new paragraph 8) by providing, in accordance with applicable law, that the resolution of the Board of Directors concerning the presentation of the slate must be approved wit h the favorable vote of two-thirds of the directors in office. The slate must also include a minimum number of candidates equal to the number specified in the proposal presented by the Board of Directors itself, increased by one -third and rounded to the ne arest whole number where the resulting figure is not an integer. These amendments serve to align the Company By -Laws with paragraph 1 of the new Article 147 -ter.1 of the Consolidated Financial Act and paragraph 1 of Article 144 -
quater .1 of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, which govern both the majority required for the
2
PRYSMIAN S.P.A. – EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING – 29 SEPTEMBER 2026
outgoing Board of Directors slate and the criteria for determining the minimum number of candidates to be included therein.
In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 147 -ter.1 of the Consolidated Financial Act, it is further proposed to provide that the Board of Directors' slate, if presented, must be filed, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company By -Laws by the 40 th (fortieth) day prior to the date of the Company’s shareholders’ meeting convened to resolve upon the appointment of the members of the Board of Directors. The disclosure requirements prescribed by applicable law remain unaffected (and, therefore, the slat e presented by the Board of Directors must be published by the same deadline prescribed for its filing pursuant to the aforementioned paragraph 2 of Article 147 -ter.1 of the Consolidated Financial Act) .
With regard to the composition requirements applicable to slates presented for the appointment of the Board of Directors, it is proposed to introduce in Article 14 of the By -Laws (see new paragraph 7) the requirement to comply with the gender -balance crite ria when drawing up slates comprising two or more candidates, where a slate is presented by the outgoing Board of Directors. This provision, implementing the option contemplated by paragraph 2(a) of Article 144 -undecies .1 of the Consob Issuers’ Regulation, is intended to ensure that the composition of the Board complies with gender -balance requirements, while at the same time reducing recourse to cascading selection mechanisms.
While the rules governing the election of the Board of Directors under Article 14 of the By -Laws currently in force remain s unchanged where no slate is presented by the Board of Directors, the new wording of Article 14 specifically governs the circumstances in which such a slate is presented and, in particular, where it receives the highest number of votes, is the only slate d uly presented or is the only slate to receive votes at the Shareholders’ Meeting, in accordance with Article 147 -ter.1 of the Consoli dated Financial Act and the related implementing regulations.
In particular, where a slate is presented by the Board of Directors and receives the highest number of votes, minority shareholders will be allocated an aggregate number of seats equal to 20% of the total number of directors, rounded up to the next whole numb er where the application of such percentage does not result in an integer (see Article 147 -ter.1, paragraph 3(b), of the Consolidated Financial Act and Article 144 -quater.1, paragraph 2, of the Consob Issuers’ Regulation). This ensures that the skills and professional expertise of the candidates selected and included in the slate receiving the highest number of votes are broadly represented among the directors elected, thereby promoting greater consistency with the guidance issued by the Board of Directors on the qualitative and quantitative composition deemed optimal, as approved and published in preparation for its renewal , while at the same time ensuring an appropriate balance between the requirements of effective governance of the Board and the represent ation of minority shareholders .
With regard to the internal allocation of seats reserved in aggregate for minority shareholders, the new paragraph 12 of Article 14 proposed for insertion provides, respectively in letters (a.1) and (a.2), two alternative mechanisms depending on the overal l outcome of the vote. In particular, in accordance with Article 147 -ter.1, paragraph 3, letters (a) and (b), of the Consolidated Financial
Act:
- the provisions of letter (a.1) apply where the first two minority slates together obtain a percentage of votes lower than 20% of the votes cast; in such case, seats are distributed proportionally between those slates by way of the quotient method (the method commonly used to ensure minority representation);
- the provisions of letter (a.2) apply where the first two minority slates together obtain a percentage of votes exceeding 20% of the votes cast; in such case, allocation is made proportionally, again by way of the quotient method, among all minority slates having obtained a percentage of votes of not less than 3%.
In this regard, the formulation of Article 14, taking into account the proposed amendments described above, also contemplates specific tie -breaking mechanisms to apply in both cases, further providing that where there is only one minority slate, all seats allocated to the minorities shall be assigned to that single slate.
In accordance with Article 147 -ter.1, paragraph 3, letter (a), of the Consolidated Financial Act, Article 14, paragraph 12, letter (b) provides that the seats not allocated to minority shareholders shall be assigned to the slate presented by the Board of Directors, specifying that such all ocation shall be preceded by a further individual vote by the Shareholders' Meeting on each candidate included in the Board of Directors' slate. In particular, candidates are ranked in descending order of votes received, a nd those obtaining the highest number of votes are elected in proportion to the seats to be allocated. In the event of a tie, the progressive order of insertion in the slate shall
3
PRYSMIAN S.P.A. – EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING – 29 SEPTEMBER 2026
prevail, which criterion shall also apply where certain candidates have received no votes in the further individual vote.
Article 14, paragraph 12(c), also governs the circumstance in which the minority slates admitted to the allocation process do not include a sufficient number of candidates to fill all the seats to be allocated to them. In such case, the remaining directors shall be drawn from the other minority slates eligible to participate in the allocation process, applying the quotients and the tie-breaking mechanisms referred to above. If it is still not possible to identify all the remaining directors in this manner, they shall be selected from among the unelected candidates included in the slate presented by the Board of Directors, according to the ranking referred to in subparagraph b) above.
In accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 147 -ter.1 of the Consolidated Financial Act, it is further proposed to introduce into Article 14 a provision to the effect that, in the event that the Board of Directors' slate has participated in the allocation of members to be elected and has received the highe st number of votes at the Meeting, the internal board committee established in respect of internal control and risk management shall be chaired by an independent director drawn from among the elected directo rs who were not drawn from the slate presented by the Board of Directors.
Where the slate presented by the Board of Directors is the only slate duly presented or the only slate to receive votes at the Shareholders’ Meeting, Article 14 (see new paragraph 15) specifies that all the directors to be elected shall be drawn from that slate, subject to the requirement to conduct the individual vote referred to in subparagraph b). It is also confirmed that, where only one slate is presented by the shareholders, the Shareholders’ Meeting shall resolve with the majorities required by law.
In order to comprehensively govern the election of the Board of Directors, it is proposed to introduce the following mechanisms to address cases in which the composition of the Board resulting from the application of the foregoing provisions of the By -Laws does not comply with the laws and regulations applicable from time to time or with the By -Laws. These mechanisms shall apply in all cases in which the Board of Directors is elected through the slate voting system (and, therefore, also where only slates pr esented by shareholders entitled to do so have been filed). In particular:
(i) if compliance with the gender -balance requirements applicable from time to time is not ensured, where at least two -fifths of the directors elected from the minority slates belong to the less represented gender (or where only one slate has been presented), the necessary replacements shall be made within the slate that received the highest number of votes (or within the sole slate presented), starting with the last candidate elected from that slate (or, in the case of the slate presented by the Board of Direc tors, according to the ranking resulting from the individual vote). This mechanism shall continue to be applied within the same slate until the composition of the Board complies with the gender -balance requirements applicable from time to time. Conversely, where less than two -fifths of the directors elected from the minority slates belong to the less represented gender, the candidate belonging to the more represented gender with the lowest quotient among those drawn from the minority slates shall be replace d by the unelected candidate belonging to the less represented gender with the highest quotient;
(ii) where the required number of directors meeting the independence requirements prescribed by law is not ensured, the necessary replacements shall be made within the slate that received the highest number of votes (or within the sole slate presented), startin g with the last candidate elected from that slate (or, in the case of the slate presented by the Board of Directors, according to the ranking resulting from the individual vote), until the composition of the Board includes the required number of directors meeting the independence requirements prescribed by law.
The proposed text further provides that, where the mechanisms referred to in points (i) and (ii) are in any event insufficient or fail to ensure the composition of the Board required by law and the By -Laws, replacement shall be effected by resolution of th e Meeting adopted by relative majority (following the presentation of candidacies of persons satisfying the relevant requirements).
Finally, the proposed text confirms that in the absence of slates, or where through the slate voting mechanism the number of candidates elected is less than the minimum number provided for by the By -Laws, or where the entire Board is not to be elected, the Board of Directors shall, as the case may be, be appointed or supplemented by the Meeting with the statutory majorities, subject in each case to compliance with the legislation in force from time to time

PRYSMIAN S.P.A. – EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING – 29 SEPTEMBER 2026
regarding gender balance and the requisite presence of directors satisfying the independence requirements prescribed by law.
1.2. Amendments relating to the transposition of the Decree and further legislative provisions and guidance Having concluded the presentation of the proposals deriving from the new regulations on the slate presented by the Board of Directors in connection with its renewal, the following paragraphs address the further proposed amendments to the By -Laws being subm itted to the Shareholders' Meeting as a consequence of the entry into force of the Decree implementing the comprehensive reform of the Consolidated Financial Act, applicable to meetings to be held after 30 September 2026, as well as further alignments with recent legislative provisions and guidance. Reference is made to the text set out in Section 3 below for the specific wording of the proposed amendments.
Rules governing the conduct of Shareholders’ Meetings (and participation by those entitled to attend), and meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors With regard to Articles 9, 11, 12, 16 and 21 of the By -Laws, it is proposed to introduce the amendments described in detail in Section 3 in order to update the provisions governing the manner in which Shareholders’ Meetings, as well as meetings of the Boar d of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, are held. These amendments incorporate the changes introduced by the Decree, which repealed former Article 135 -undecies .1 of the Consolidated Financial Act and introduced the new Article 125 -bis.1 thereof . The latter comprehensively governs the manner in which Shareholders’ Meetings are held, allowing listed companies to use methods other than in-person meetings, including participation by means of telecommunication, and granting the Board of Directors sig nificant flexibility to determine, on each occasion, the manner in which each Shareholders’ Meeting is to be held.
In order to exercise these options, the Board of Directors is required to adopt a specific regulation setting out the conditions and procedures for participation in Shareholders’ meetings appropriate to ensure adequate safeguards and guarantees for the ord erly and transparent exercise of shareholders' rights; such regulation must be published on the Company's website and referred to in the notice of convocation of each meeting, pursuant to paragraph 3 of the new Article 125 -bis.1 of the Consolidated Financi al Act. Within this framework, the Board of Directors — with the favorable vote of a majority of its independent members — may resolve that the Shareholders’ meeting be held exclusively by means of telecommunication, or that attendance and the exercise of voting rights take place exclusively through the designated representative appointed by the Company. It is understood that, as of the date hereof, the Company intends to continue the consolidated practice of allowing all Shareholders entitled to attend the Shareholders’ Meetings to do so in person.
Consistently with this approach, and also in order to permit the possible adoption of more efficient forms of participation — for example, through means of telecommunication, if and to the extent made possible by technological developments — it is proposed to revise Article 11 of the By -Laws to provide that the manner in which Shareholders’ Meetings are held, as well as the conditions and procedures governing attendance and participation by persons entitled to do so, shall be those established by the laws a nd regulations applicable from time to time and by the internal rules approved pursuant thereto by the competent body on a case -by-case basis .
Consequently, it is also proposed to remove from Articles 9, 10, 11 and 12 certain provisions that would become obsolete in light of the proposed revision of Article 11.
In line with the proposed amendments concerning the manner in which Shareholders’ Meetings are held, it is also proposed to update — in line with prevailing guidance, including notarial guidance — the provisions of the By -Laws governing meetings of the Boa rd of Directors (Article 16, paragraph 4) and the Board of Statutory Auditors (Article 21, paragraph 14) held by means of telecommunication , also removing any restrictions on the location where Board of Directors' meetings may be held (Article 16, paragrap h 1).
Rules governing the composition requirements of the Board of Directors and the Board of
Statutory Auditors
It is proposed to supplement the provisions concerning the composition requirements of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors in order to take account of the new Article 147-bis.1 of the Consolidated Financial Act, introduced by the Decree, pursuant to which the management and control bodies of listed companies are elected in accordance with statutory provisions that promote and foster the professionalism, representativeness and diversity of the overall composition of the body. To this end, it is proposed to include in the By -Laws a provision
5
PRYSMIAN S.P.A. – EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING – 29 SEPTEMBER 2026
requiring that the aforementioned principles guiding the composition of such corporate bodies shall be adopted and implemented, as the case may be, by the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors by providing specific guidance on the quantita tive and qualitative composition considered optimal in the orientations approved and published in advance of the renewal of the relevant body. It is recalled in this connection that the management and control bodies of Prysmian already publish such orienta tions in connection with and in advance of their respective renewals. Reference is made to Section 3 for the text of the relevant statutory provision inserted in Article 14 (see new paragraph 3), in respect of the Board of Directors, and in Article 21 (see new paragraph 4), in respect of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Also with regard to Article 14 of the By -Laws, and in order to transpose the new paragraph 4 -bis of Article 147 -ter of the Consolidated Financial Act (introduced by the Decree), pursuant to which the loss of independence requirements during the course of a mandate does not result in the forfeiture of a director provided that the remaining number of independent director s on the board is in any event sufficient to ensure compliance with the statutory and regulatory provisions relating to the minimum number of independent directors, it is proposed to clarify the statutory provision (see Article 14, new paragraph 18) by specifying that forfeiture is declared by the Board of Directors in the cases provided for by law. Within the same article, the cross -reference to the Civil Code provisions governing the replacement of directors who have ceased office during their mandate has also been updated.
Other proposed amendments With regard to Article 19 of the By -Laws, it is proposed to supplement the provisions relating to the manager responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports in order to incorporate the amendments introduced by Article 154 -bis, paragraph 5 -ter, of the Consolidated Financial Act, introduced by Legislative Decree No. 125/2024 adopted in implementation of the CSRD Directive on corporate sustainability reporting. In particular, provision is made for the faculty of the Board of Directors to confer t he powers and responsibilities referred to in Article 154 -bis, paragraph 5 -ter, of the Consolidated Financial Act upon an officer, distinct from the manager respon sible for preparing the Company's financial reports, who possesses an overall experience of at least three years acquired through the exercise of professional activities in the field of sustainability and the preparation of non -financial statements or sust ainability reports through managerial functions or professional or teaching activities in a position of adequate responsibility. The provisions set out in Article 19 in respect of the manager responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the appointment and removal from the office of the manager responsible for sustainability reporting.
*** The remaining proposed amendments (i) are aimed at replacing specific references or indications (which may be subject to future modification) with references to the provisions in force from time to time or to Consob regulations; or (ii) are purely of a textual co -ordination nature, intended to align the cross -references contained in the By -Laws with the new number ing and wording introduced by the Decree, without affecting the substance of the provisions concerned.
For a detailed account of the proposed amendments to each article of the By -Laws, reference is made to Section 3 below.
2. Withdrawal right The proposed amendments to the By -Laws described above do not confer upon shareholders who do not concur in the approval of the relevant resolution a right of withdrawal, as they do not fall within any of the cases of withdrawal identified under Articles 2437 et seq. of the Civil Code.
3. Comparative presentation of the articles of the By -Laws proposed to be amended, showing the current and proposed text together with evidence of the amendments
made
Articles 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 19 and 21 of the Company’s By -Laws will be amended as set out below in the comparative table showing the current text and the amended text, reflecting the proposals described above.

a.1) if the total number of votes collected by the other slates, not exceeding two in order of consensus collected at the Shareholders' Meeting, does not exceed 20 per cent of the total votes cast, the aforementioned slates shall contribute to the distribu tion of seats on the Board of Directors in proportion to the votes reported by each of them at the Shareholders' Meeting and in any case for a total amount of 20 per cent of the total number of members of the same body (rounded up to the next unit if the a pplication of the allocation quota indicated does not result in a whole number of members to be assigned to minorities). These votes, precisely, are successively divided by one, two, three and so on. The quotients thus obtained shall be allocated progressi vely to the candidates on each of those slates, in the order in which they are listed on them.

If it is not possible to identify the remaining Directors in this way, they will be chosen from among the unelected candidates on the Board of Directors' slate in the order referred to in letter b(ii) above or, in the cases and as indicated in letter b)(iv) above, on the basis of the progressive order in which they are listed on the slate.
It is understood that, even in the case referred to in point a.2) above, minorities are assigned seats on the Board of Directors for a total amount equal to twenty per cent of the total number of members of the same body, rounded up to the next unit if the application of the allocation quota indicated does not result in a whole number of members to be assigned to minorities.

(a) five -sixths of the Directors to be elected shall be chosen from the slate that obtains the majority of the votes cast, in the order in which they are listed on the slate; in the event of a fractional number, it shall be rounded down to the nearest whol e number;
(b) the remaining Directors shall be taken from the other slates; for this purpose the votes obtained by the slates shall successively be divided by one, two, three and four according to the number of Directors to be chosen. The quotients thus obtained sha ll be assigned to the candidates on each slate in the order specified thereon. The quotients given to each candidate on the various slates will be given in a single decreasing ranking. Those who have obtained the highest quotients shall be elected. If more than one candidate have obtained the same quotient, the candidate from the slate that has not yet elected any Directors or that has elected the smallest number of Directors, shall be elected. All this is on the understanding that at least one director sha ll be taken from a slate, if presented and voted, presented by shareholders who are not connected, either directly or indirectly, with those who presented or voted for the slate that obtained the majority of votes cast.
If none of such slates has yet elected a Director or each of them have elected the same number of Directors, the candidate from the slate that obtained the largest number of votes shall be elected. If the different slates have received the same number of v otes and their candidates have been assigned the same quotients, a new vote shall be held by the entire Shareholders’ Meeting and the candidate obtaining the simple majority of the votes shall
22
PRYSMIAN S.P.A. – EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING – 29 SEPTEMBER 2026
be elected.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, in the event that the slate is presented by the Board of Directors and it is the one that has obtained the highest number of votes, the election of the members of the Board of Directors shall be c arried out as
follows:
(a.1) if the total number of votes collected by the other slates, not exceeding two in order of consensus collected at the Shareholders' Meeting, does not exceed 20 per cent of the total votes cast, the aforementioned slates shall contribute to the distribu tion of seats on the Board of Directors in proportion to the votes reported by each of them at the Shareholders' Meeting and in any case for a total amount of 20 per cent of the total number of members of the same body (rounded up to the next unit if the a pplication of the allocation quota indicated does not result in a whole number of members to be assigned to minorities). These votes, precisely, are successively divided by one, two, three and so on. The quotients thus obtained shall be allocated progressi vely to the candidates on each of those slates, in the order in which they are listed on them. The quotients thus allocated to the candidates on those slates are arranged in a single descending ranking. Those who have obtained the highest results shall be elected, up to the total number of directors pertaining to minorities to be elected; in the event that more than one candidate has obtained the same quotient, the candidate on the slate which has not yet elected any director or who has elected the fewest directors shall be elected; in the event that none of these slates has yet elected a director or all have elected the same number of directors, the candidate of the one that has obtained the highest numbe r of votes is elected from these slates; in the event of a tie in the slate votes and always with the same quotient, a new vote shall be held by the entire Shareholders’ Meeting, and the candidate who obtains a simple majority of votes shall be elected. In the event that there is only one minority slate (and the same has not obtained more than twenty per cent of the tota l votes cast), the directors pertaining to the minorities are taken entirely from this slate;
a.2) if the total number of votes collected at the Shareholders' Meeting by the other slates, not exceeding two in order of consensus collected, is greater than 20 per cent of the total votes cast, the members of the new Board of Directors pertaining to mi norities shall be allocated proportionally to the votes obtained by the minority slates that have obtained a percentage of votes of not less than 3 per cent (rounded up by excess to the higher unit if the application of the allocation quota indicated does not result in a whole number of members to be assigned to minorities), with the specification that the votes obtained by those who obtained a percentage of votes of less than three per cent must also be proportionately assigned to these slates. For the pur poses of the allocation, the quotient mechanism and the supplementary rules referred to in letter a.1 above apply. Furthermore, even in this case, where there is only one minority slate (and the same has obtained more than twenty per cent of the total vote s cast), the directors responsible for the minorities are taken entirely from this slate;
b) the remaining seats on the Board of Directors are allocated to the slate presented by the Board of Directors, in accordance with the following procedures:
(i) the Shareholders' Meeting shall hold a further individual vote on each individual candidate on the slate presented by the Board of Directors;
(ii) the aforementioned candidates are ordered on the basis of the number of votes obtained by each of them, from highest to lowest;
(iii) the candidates who have obtained the highest votes are elected, based on the seats to be assigned to the slate presented by the Board of Directors;
(iv) in the event of a tie between candidates, the procedure shall be based on the progressive order in which they are listed on the slate. This criterion also applies to candidates who also do not receive votes;
c) in the event that the minority slates entitled to the allocation do not present a sufficient number of candidates to ensure the achievement of the number of Directors who must be respectively elected by them according to the mechanisms indicated under l etter a), the remaining Directors will be taken from the other minority slates (entitled to the allotment) applying the quotients as well as the additional supplementary rules for the cases of tie referred to in the previous letter a.1) until the number of Directors to be elected is completed.
If it is not possible to identify the remaining Directors in this way, they will be chosen from among the unelected candidates on the Board of Directors' slate in the order referred to in letter b(ii) above or, in the cases and as indicated in letter b)(iv) above, on the basis of the
23
PRYSMIAN S.P.A. – EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING – 29 SEPTEMBER 2026
progressive order in which they are listed on the slate.
It is understood that, even in the case referred to in point a.2) above, minorities are assigned seats on the Board of Directors for a total amount equal to twenty per cent of the total number of members of the same body, rounded up to the next unit if the application of the allocation quota indicated does not result in a whole number of members to be assigned to minorities.
If the slate submitted by the Board of Directors has contributed, in accordance with this paragraph, to the allocation of the elected directors resulting in the one that received the highest number of votes at the Shareholders' Meeting, the internal board committee set up for internal control and risk management, appointed by the Board of Directors, is chaired by an independent director identified from among the elected directors who have not been taken from the slate presented by the Board of Directors.
In the event that the slate of the Board of Directors is the only one duly presented or the only one to receive votes at the Shareholders' Meeting, the Directors to be elected are taken from it in its entirety, without prejudice to the need to proceed in a ccordance with the provisions of letter b) above.
In the event that a single slate is presented by the shareholders, the Shareholders’ Meeting resolves with the majorities required by the law .
If the election of the candidates by the means described above does not ensure :
(i) a composition of the Board of Directors which complies with the currently applicable regulations concerning the balance of genders, the following procedure will be followed: if at least two -fifths of the Directors elected from the minority slates belong to the less represented gender (or in the case of a singl e slate), the necessary replacements will be made within the slate that received the highest number of votes (or within the single slate submitted) starting from the candidate elected last on the same slate (or, with reference to the Board of Directors' sl ate, according to the order resulting from the individual vote) and subsequently, if compliance with the currently applicable regulations in force concerning gender balance is not ensured, similar substitutions will be made, again within the slate that rec eived the highest number of votes (or within the only slate presented); if, on the other hand, less than two -fifths of the elected Directors from the minority slates belong to the less represented gender, the candidate of the most represented gender with t he lowest quotient among the candidates taken from the minority slates is replaced by the member of the less represented gender who has obtained the highest quotient among the non -
elected, with the application of the supplementary rules referred to in this art. 14;
(ii) the necessary presence of directors meeting the independence requirements prescribed by the law, the necessary replacements will be made within the slate that received the highest number of votes or within the single slate presented, starting with the last candidate elected on the same slate (or, with reference to the slate of the Board, according to the order resulting from the individual vote). Subsequently, if the necessary presence of directors meeting the independence requirements prescribed by th e law is not ensured, similar replacements will be made, again within the slate that received the highest number of votes or within the single slate presented;
(iii) where the replacements referred to in the previous (i) and (ii) do not make it possible or are not sufficient to ensure compliance with the law in force at the time regarding gender balance and the necessary presence of directors in possession of the independence requirements prescribed by the law, the replacement will take place with a resolution adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting by relative majority, following the presentation of candidatures of individuals in possession of the aforementioned req uirements.
In the absence of lists, or in the event that through the list voting mechanism the number of candidates elected is lower than the minimum number required by the bylaws for its composition or in the event that it is not a question of electing the entire Board, the Board of Directors is, as the case may be, appointed or integrated by the Shareholders' Meeting with the majorities required by law, without prejudice to compliance with the regulations in force from time to time regarding gender balance and the necessary presence of directors possessing the independence requirements prescribed by law.
If an elected independent Director should lose his/her independence requirements, he/she shall give immediate notice to the Board of Directors . Forfeiture is pronounced by the Board of Directors in the cases provided by law.
