Shareholders also voted in favour of the Group’s General Policy of Remuneration, containing the guidelines for the definition of the remuneration of executive directors and management in general.
The Board decided that the remuneration structure will be submitted to shareholders for review one year earlier than required by law.
In the extraordinary session, in conclusion, Shareholders decided to modify the company’s bylaws in order to introduce into them some powers foreseen by the legislature when Italy adopted European community directives regarding the rights of shareholders in listed companies (shareholders’ rights directives). Also during the extraordinary session, shareholders approved the voluntary reduction of company capital by 32,498,345.12 euros, in accordance with article 2445 of the civil code to attribute to net assets. This reduction is aimed at the completion of the operation of assignment of Prelios SpA shares (formerly Pirelli RE SpA) carried out during 2010 and does not entail any reduction of company capital, the amount of the reduction being destined to net assets cancelling the negative reserve generated at the conclusion of the operation of assignment. It is expected that the reduction will be finalized by August 2011, once the terms called for by law are met.
