The Shareholder's Meeting approved the 2011 financial statements which closed with a net loss of about 289.6 million Euros at consolidated level (-95.3 million in the previous financial year) and about 311.5 million Euros on a financial year balance level (-133.5 million in 2010).
Following the year loss, which exceeded one third of the share capital, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved to take all relevant decisions in accordance with Art. 2446 of the Italian Civil Code, resolving (having first eliminated the nominal value of the ordinary shares available) to fully cover the loss by using the available reserves and, for the part of the loss not covered by these reserves, to proportionally reduce the share capital, which therefore goes from 420,585,888.50 Euros to 218,877,613.14 Euros.
As a result of the resignation tendered in November 2011 by the Board Member Giulio Malfatto, who had held the office of Deputy Chairman and who will not be replaced, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved to reduce the number of directors from 15 to 14 (of which the majority of 8 members, is independent).
The Shareholders' Meeting approved moreover some changes to the articles of association, incorporating the provisions of the new regulations concerning the so-called "gender balance" or, as it is more commonly referred to the "pink share", in order to ensure that at least one third of the members of the corporate bodies are of the least represented gender.
Finally, with reference to the report on remuneration submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the same meeting ruled in favour of the remuneration policy and the procedures related to it adopted by the Company.
