Verona, 10 January 2020. With regard to the press reports of alleged operational irregularities relating to internal dealing found by the Management Control Committee of Cattolica Assicurazioni, which were reported in yesterday's meeting of the Company's Board of Directors, we inform you that only some of the purchase transactions of shares of the Company by Andrea Rossi and Cinzia Galipò were notified to Consob.

It is also specified that, in the case of the purchase of Cattolica Assicurazioni shares by Ivana Bazzoni, only a possible delay of one day was involved, concerning merely an information obligation, which furthermore relates to a transaction that took place in 2017, unlikely due to its nature to cause any damage or harm to the company and/or the market.

Regarding the position of the First Vice Chairman Poli, it is specified that the purchase took place on 11 May 2018 and that the Company, having been informed by the person concerned, took account of it in its communications regarding the financial statements as at 31 December 2018.
