Board of statutory auditors

The Board of Statutory Auditors, composed of three standing auditors and three alternate auditors, carries out the functions of supervision and control.

The Board of Statutory Auditors, nominated at the Shareholders Meeting of 8 June 2020, will be in power until the Shareholder Meeting to approve results to 31 December 2022.

Nomination

The Board of Statutory Auditors is nominated by the Shareholders Meeting on the basis of slates presented by shareholders who, individually or together with others, represent at least 2.5% of company capital.

Minority shareholders can elect a standing auditor and an alternate auditor, but in the event that a single slate is presented – as happened in 2020 – all the standing and alternate auditors are drawn from this. The candidate slates cannot include people who are already standing auditors in five other companies or listed entities. Auditors can remain in power for three years and can be re-elected.

Composition and role

The Board of Statutory Auditors monitors the effectiveness of the control and risk management system. In conducting its functions, it interfaces with the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee and with the manager responsible for Internal Audits through a constant exchange of information. In particular, it can ask the head of the Internal Audit function to carry out checks on specific operating domains or corporate transactions, informing the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Notes

It should be noted that on February 19 2020 the merger by incorporation took effect of CIR S.p.A. – Compagnie Industriali Riunite (“the Incorporated Company”) into COFIDE – Gruppo De Benedetti S.p.A. the “Incorporating Company”), with the consequent elimination of the incorporated company (“Merger”). As an effect of the merger, the Incorporating Company changed its name to “CIR S.p.A. – Compagnie Industriali Riunite”.

During the year 2020 there were no changes in the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company on June 8 2020. It should be noted that when the current Board of Statutory Auditors was appointed only one list was presented. Quorum required for the presentation of lists: 2.5%. The date of first appointment means the date on which the Statutory Auditor was appointed for the very first time to the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Issuer.

The column “Attendance of meetings” shows the attendance of the statutory auditors of the meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors (more specifically, it shows the number of meetings attended out of the total number of meetings).

The column “No. of positions in other listed companies” shows the number of positions of director or statutory auditor held by the person concerned in other companies listed on regulated markets, even foreign markets, in financial companies, banks, insurance companies or companies of a significant size. The number of positions of director or statutory auditor held by the person concerned as per the terms of Art. 148-bis TUF and the relative rules for implementation of the same contained in Consob’s Rules for Issuers is published by Consob on its website as per the terms of Art. 144-quinquiesdecies of Consob’s Rules for Issuers.
