Shareholders' Meetings provides the forum whereby the
shareholders can exercise their rights and obligations, in line with current legislation
and the company's by-laws. In particular, the Ordinary Meeting has the power to
appoint and dismiss directors, statutory auditors and the external auditors, providing
for their compensation, and to approve the company's financial statements. An Extraordinary
Meeting is necessary for the approval of changes to the by-laws and for extraordinary
operations, such as capital increases, mergers and demergers.
Ordinary Shareholders' Meetings must be called at least once a year, within 120
days of the end of the financial year, to approve the financial statements, given
that Tesmec is required to draw up consolidated financial statements. The exact
date is communicated to the market in the financial calendar published on the Tesmec
S.p.A. web site.
