The directors Filomena Passeggio, Secondina Giulia Ravera, Laura Cavatorta and Francesco Valsecchi have declared that they meet the independence requirements laid down by Article 148 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Corporate Governance Code of Listed Companies.

During the first meeting, the Board of Directors will verify that the members of the board of directors meet the independence requirements based on the information provided by the interested parties and will inform the public of the results of this assessment.

The CVs and declarations of the new Directors (including those relating to their meeting the independence requirements) are available on the INWIT website www.inwit.it/governance/shareholders-meeting as well as on the storage platform, at www.1info.it. The Directors have been authorised – as a waiver to the limitations referred to in article 2390 of the Italian Civil Code, insofar as applicable – to maintain the offices that they stated they hold in the declarations issued when the slates were compiled.

The Shareholders’ Meeting also resolved the following:

  • to establish the duration of the term of office of the Board of Directors as 3 financial years, and therefore until approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2022;
  • to establish 900,000 euros as the maximum total annual remuneration of the Board of Directors (which includes compensation for participation in internal committees), to be distributed among its members in accordance with the resolutions made in this regard by the Board itself.
