The authorisation must be provided to the Appointed Representative by using the following proxy form: Proxy Form for the Appointed Representative (70 kb), or by using the specific web application providing assistance in completing the proxy form with voting instructions prepared by Servizio Titoli SpA in agreement with the Company and available at the following link: PlaST – Servizio Titoli
