Purpose of the programme

Maximum number of shares to be purchased

The programme envisages the purchase of ordinary INWIT shares, in one or more tranches, amounting to a maximum of 1,150,000 shares, representing approximately 0.12% of INWIT’s share capital, to service the remuneration plans based on financial instruments pursuant to Article 114-bis of the CLF.

As at today’s date, the Company holds 191,105 treasury shares in the portfolio.

Volumes and unitary purchase prices

Purchases will be made at a price to be identified each time, taking into account the chosen method by which to implement the transaction and in respect of any regulatory provisions, including of the European Union. This price shall not, in any case, exceed 10% more or less than the reference price recorded by the INWIT share in the session of the Euronext Milan Market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on the day prior to each individual transaction. The daily purchase volumes shall not exceed 25% of the average daily volume of trades of the INWIT share in the 20 days of trading prior to the purchase dates.

The volumes and unitary purchase prices will be defined in accordance with the conditions regulated by Art. 3 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 and, in particular, shares cannot be purchased at a price that exceeds the higher of the price of the last independent transaction and the highest current independent purchase offer price at the trading place where the purchase is made.
