In particular, the Capital Increase will be implemented through the issue of maximum n. 271,580,000 Shares, having the same characteristics of those currently outstanding, without expressed face value and with regular dividend, to be offered with option rights to the shareholders at a unit price  of  Euro 0.496 (of which Euro 0.01 allocated to share capital and Euro 0.486 as share premium), according to a ratio of n. 8 shares every n. 1 share held for a maximum countervalue equal to Euro 134,703,680.00 million.

The issue price of the Shares was calculated by applying a discount of approximately 37.8% on the Theoretical Ex Right Price – TERP – of the shares, based on today’s closing price equal to Euro 3.21.

The Underwriting Agreement for the rights issue has been approved and stipulated

The Board of Directors also approved the Underwriting Agreement relating to the subscription of the shares corresponding to any Option Rights that are not exercised after they have been offered on the Stock Exchange. The Underwriting Agreement has been stipulated by Banca IMI S.p.A. and Barclays Bank PLC, which, under this agreement, have undertaken the commitment to subscribe all shares that have remained unsubscribed after the offer of the unexercised rights on the Stock Exchange.  The Underwriting Agreement is subject to the conditions specified in the Italian Offering Circular.
