PRESS RELEASE

  1. to use treasury shares to service any share incentive plans reserved for directors and employees of the Company and/or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, either by granting purchase options or by allocating shares free of charge (stock option and stock grant plans);
  2. to acquire treasury shares to be used for capital transactions or other transactions in relation to which it is necessary or even only appropriate to proceed with the purchase, exchange or sale of share packages to be realised through sale, exchange, contribution or other act of disposal and/or use, also following acquisitions and/or commercial agreements with strategic partners.

The authorisation entails the right to purchase, in one or more transactions and to an extent that may be freely determined, a maximum number of ordinary shares of the Company, such as not to exceed the limit of 2.5% of the share capital, taking into account any treasury shares already held in the portfolio or by subsidiaries and in any case within the limits of distributable profits and available reserves resulting at the time the purchases were made.

It is also provided that the purchases are to be made at a price, inclusive of purchase costs, of no less than 15% below and no more than 15% above the official price of GPI's ordinary shares recorded by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the stock exchange session preceding the one in which the purchase is made.

The duration of the authorisation to purchase treasury shares is 18 months from today's date, while there are no time limits on the sale, disposal and use of treasury shares in portfolio.

Also note that under the scope of the previous authorisation resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2022, revoked by that passed today, the Company has not purchased any treasury shares, while in September 2022, as partial payment of the variable part of the price agreed upon at the time of the purchase of the shareholding in Xidera S.r.l., 6,749 treasury shares were sold to the counterparty. As of today, therefore, the Company holds a total of 96,357 treasury shares, equal to approximately 0.333% of the share capital.

The Shareholders' Meeting in extraordinary session:

  • resolved to amend Articles 6.4, 6.6 (Share Capital and Shares), 13.5, 13.6, 13.7, 13.10, 13.15, 13.17, 17.2 (Board of Directors), 21.6 (Appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors) and 30.4 of the Articles of Association, according to the 'Proposed Text' in the Board of Directors' Report.
