The Telecom Italia Board of Directors, chaired by Gabriele Galateri di Genola, met today to approve changes to the Statute in adjustment to the new regulations: Shareholders’ Rights (d.lgs. n. 27/2010) and legal accounts review (d.lgs. n. 39/2010).
Specifically, the Board approved:
- the elimination of the statutory provisions incompatible with the new regulation, concerning the timing and terms to publish the lists to appoint the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, the timing and terms by which the partners request integration to the Shareholders’ Meeting agenda, and the terms to legitimise a speech during the Shareholders’ Meeting;
- the introduction of the electronic notification of the proxy for the Shareholders’ Meeting, allowing it to be sent via email, with deferment to the meeting’s summoning for the details;
- the updating of some phrasing in light of the new nomenclature introduced by the above-mentioned regulations.
The amended Statute will be published on the company’s website (http://www.telecomitalia.it/) as soon as the approval of the changes will be recorded on the Company Register.
