Banca Generali encourages the widest possible participation of investors at its shareholder meetings. All directors usually attend the meetings. In particular, the board reports on its past and planned activities and strives to make sure all shareholders are provided with adequate information on all pertinent matters so they can make informed decisions in respect of the agenda items.
The shareholders' meeting of 3 October 2006 approved a set of rules (last amended with resolution of the Board of Directors on 20 April 2011) laying out the procedures to be followed in order to ensure orderly proceedings.
These rules regulate the proceedings of ordinary and extraordinary shareholder meetings and ensure their proper and orderly functioning. In particular, they guarantee the right of each shareholder to take part and express an opinion on the items under debate. The rules, therefore, constitute a valid tool for ensuring the protection of the rights of all the company's shareholders and the proper approval of shareholder resolutions.
