1 Since the CEO is an executive director which has a professional relationship with the Company.

2 The company informs that the Board of Directors, while confirming its adherence to the Code of Conduct, has resolved to deviate from the application criterion 3.C.1., letter e), of the same Code, under which a director is not independent if it has been in office for the same issuer for more than nine years during the last twelve years. This was done in accordance with the acknowledged need to carry out a substantial assessment in order to be able to benefit of the professional skills that in time have proven adequate to function within the complex Group’s regulatory and structural framework.
