Notes

It should be noted that on February 19 2020 the merger by incorporation took effect of CIR S.p.A. – Compagnie Industriali Riunite (“the Incorporated Company”) into COFIDE – Gruppo De Benedetti S.p.A. the “Incorporating Company”), with the consequent elimination of the incorporated company (“Merger”). As an effect of the merger, the Incorporating Company changed its name to “CIR S.p.A. – Compagnie Industriali Riunite”.
