No changes to the corporate by-laws of Poste Italiane are envisaged.
The documents regarding the transaction will be promptly made available to the public in compliance with the terms and conditions envisaged by applicable laws and regulations.
Finally, the transactions will not fall under the "Guidelines for the management of Transactions with Related and Associated Parties", adopted by Poste Italiane's Board of Directors, as established in cases of transactions involving subsidiaries, pursuant to art. 14, paragraph 2, of Consob Regulation no. 17221/2010 (and subsequent amendments and additions) and art. 4.2.1 of the above-mentioned Guidelines.
