Authorisation to purchase and sell own shares

Finally, after revoking the resolution authorizing the purchase and disposal of treasury shares adopted by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 30 April 2021, the Shareholders' Meeting renewed the authorisation relating to the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, to the following ends:

  • (a) to carry out investment and securities portfolio-building transactions;

  • (b) to support the liquidity of the ordinary shares of GPI in order to favour the regular course of trading and avoid abnormal price movements, as well as to regularise the trend of trading and prices, in response to momentary distortions linked to excessive volatility or low trading liquidity;

  • (c) to use treasury shares to service any share incentive plans reserved for directors and employees of the Company and/or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, either by granting purchase options or by allocating shares free of charge (stock option and stock grant plans);

  • (d) to acquire treasury shares to be used for capital transactions or other transactions in relation to which it is necessary or even only appropriate to proceed with the purchase, exchange or sale of share packages to be realised through sale, exchange, contribution or other act of disposal and/or use, also following acquisitions and/or commercial agreements with strategic partners.

The authorisation entails the right to purchase, in one or more transactions and to an extent that may be freely determined, a maximum number of ordinary shares of the Company, such as not to exceed the limit of 2.5% of the share capital, considering any treasury shares already held in the portfolio or by subsidiaries and in any case within the limits of distributable profits and available reserves resulting at the time the purchases were made.

It is also provided that the purchases are to be made at a price, inclusive of purchase costs, of no less than 15% below and no more than 15% above the official price of GPI's ordinary shares recorded by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the stock exchange session preceding the one in which the purchase is made.

The duration of the authorisation to purchase treasury shares is 18 months from today's date, while there are no time limits on the sale, disposal and use of treasury shares in portfolio.

As of today, the Company holds a total of 103,106 treasury shares, equal to approximately 0.56% of the share capital.

In the context of the previous authorisation approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 30 April 2021 and revoked by today's Shareholders' Meeting, the Company did not make any purchase of treasury shares nor did it use those in its portfolio at that date.
