During the financial year ended December 31, 2020, the activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors were influenced in the manner in which they were carried out by the limitations imposed by the Covid 19 health emergency and were therefore carried out through the acquisition of documentation and the holding of meetings essentially in audio-video conference.

We can reasonably affirm that the actions taken are in the company's interest, comply with the law and the articles of association and are not manifestly imprudent, risky or such as to compromise the integrity of the company's assets.

On the basis of what has emerged from direct interventions and the information gathered, the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors comply with the law and the Articles of Association, as well as with the principles of proper administration, are consistent and compatible with the size of the Company's assets, and comply with the provisions of Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code, concerning the interests carried by the Directors, on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties.

During the year, no reports were made pursuant to art. 2408 of the Italian Civil Code, no complaints were received, and no omissions, reprehensible acts or irregularities were reported by the heads of company departments that would require mention in this Report.

At the March 5, 2021 Board meeting, the Supervisory Board's annual report was reviewed. The activities carried out and the checks carried out, in the light of the information received and the documents handed over, did not reveal any reprehensible facts or violations of the Model or any acts or conduct entailing a breach of the provisions contained in Legislative Decree no. 231/2001.
