Ordinary General Meeting, 20 April 2018

Only those persons may attend and vote at General Meeting who have been notified as having voting rights to the Company by an "intermediary" so authorised in accordance with applicable legislation; such notification having been issued in accordance with records at the close of business on 11 April 2018, being the seventh stock exchange trading day preceding the date set for the General Meeting on single call (the "Record Date"), in conformity with articles 83-sexies of Legislative Decree 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Consolidated Financial Act”, or “CFA”).

Any deposits in and withdrawals from custody accounts subsequent to the Record Date shall be without effect to a person's right to vote at General Meeting. Persons who are, consequently, registered as having title to shares only subsequent to the Record Date shall have no right to attend or vote at the General Meeting.

Such notification by the intermediary must arrive no later than 17 April 2018, being the close of business of the third stock exchange trading day preceding the date set for the General Meeting on single call. The right to attend and vote at General Meeting, however, shall be valid to the extent that the relevant notice is received by the Company no later than the opening of the General Meeting.

Shareholders still in the possession of share certificates in scrip form are required to provide the intermediary with the share certificates for entry into the centralised scripless share certificate system and apply for the issuance of the above notification.

The Office of the Chairman will be open two hours prior to the time set for the General Meeting in order to identify attendees and verify their right to attend.

All holders of rights to vote at and attend the General Meeting may appoint a representative through the issuance of a written proxy, subject to any legal and regulatory limitations.

For this purpose, holders of voting rights may nominate a proxy, using the following proxy form: General Proxy Form (PDF)

The proxy, attesting and accepting personal liability for the conformity of the copy with the original and the identity of the proxy giver, may send a copy of the proxy form, duly completed and signed by the holder of the voting rights, directly to the Company by sending a fax to Computershare S.p.A. on +39 06- 45417450 or by sending an electronic version of the form to the certified e-mail address atlantia@pecserviziotitoli.it.

Proxies are under a statutory obligation to retain the original of the form and any voting instructions received for one year from the close of business at the General Meeting.

In accordance with the law, all holders of voting rights may, by completing the relevant form, appoint Computershare S.p.A., with registered office in Via Mascheroni 19, Milan, to act as their proxy, this company being the Company’s Appointed Representative pursuant to art. 135-undecies of Legislative Decree 58/98 (the Consolidated Financial Act), to which persons with voting rights my provide a proxy with voting instructions on any and all agenda items on 18 April 2018, being the close of business on the second stock exchange trading day preceding the date set for the General Meeting.

The proxy and voting instructions may be revoked within the same deadline, using the same procedure as for the appointment. For the purposes of attendance at the General Meeting and the exercise of voting rights, appointment of the above representative does not exempt the holders of voting rights from the obligation to request the intermediary to provide proof of their right to attend the General Meeting and exercise their voting rights, pursuant to art. 83-sexies of the CFA.

The proxy must be provided to the Appointed Representative by using the following proxy form: Proxy Form for the Appointed Representative [pdf] or by using the specific web application providing assistance in completing the proxy form with voting instructions prepared by Computershare S.p.A. in agreement with the Company and available at the following link which will be made available starting from the publication date of the slates of candidates for election to the Board of Standing Auditors (ie. 30 Marzo 2018) https://servizi.computershare.it/eRD/index.aspx?nos=2311467438.

The proxy is without effect with respect to motions for which voting instructions have not been issued. During voting on resolutions for which precise voting instructions have not been provided, the shares relating to the authorisation given to the Appointed Representative are not included in the computation of the majority and the percentage of the issued capital required for approval of the above resolutions, despite having been included in the computation carried out for the purposes of the General Meeting quorum.

It should be noted that, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, having regard to changes or additions to the proposals submitted to the General Meeting, Computershare S.p.A., acting as the Appointed Representative, and being responsible for managing the accreditation and vote counting procedures at the General Meeting, whilst not being subject to a conflict of interest, will not cast a vote that differs from the instructions received.

Pursuant to laws and regulations in force and art. 32 of the Articles of Association, election of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall take place on the basis of lists submitted by Shareholders who, singly or jointly with other Shareholders, at the date on which the lists are deposited with the Company, represent at least 0.5% of the issued capital.

No Shareholder, nor Shareholders belonging to the same group or Shareholders party to a shareholder agreement, may submit or vote for more than one list, including via a proxy or a trust company, and any candidate included in more than one list shall be disqualified.

Preparation of the lists

• Each list must consist of two sections, one for candidates for the office of Standing Auditor and one for Alternates, and each section must contain the names of one or more candidates, which must not exceed the number of Statutory Auditors to be elected, with each name assigned a sequential number.
• Individuals who hold a number of posts as director or standing auditor equal to or above the maximum established by the applicable regulations, or do not meet the requirements for integrity, professionalism and independence required by the applicable regulations, may not be included in voting lists.
• At least two Standing Auditors and one Alternate shall be selected from among individuals listed in the register of auditors, who have been engaged in the statutory audit of accounts for a period of not less than three years. Statutory Auditors not meeting such requirement shall be selected from amongst those persons with at least three years overall experience in: a) the management and control of or administrative duties in joint-stock companies having issued capital of at least two million euros; or b) professional activities or university instruction in legal, business and finance subjects; or c) managerial functions at government or public sector entities engaged in lending, finance or insurance.
• Lists that, taking into account both sections, contain a number of candidates equal to or higher than three must include at least a third of the candidates belonging to the least represented gender (rounded up, if necessary), in application of Law 120 of 12 July 2011. Where the number of candidates for Alternate Auditor is equal to or higher than two, they must be of two different genders.

Each list must be accompanied by:

• (i) information on the Shareholders who have submitted the lists and their total percentage shareholding, together with certificates attesting to their ownership of the related shares;
• (ii) exhaustive information regarding candidates’ personal and professional details;
• (iii) declarations from the individual candidates accepting their candidature and a personal warranty that there is no fact or deed which could give rise to their disqualification and that they meet the legal requirements for holding such office, including compliance with the limit on the total number of positions held, as established by the laws and regulations in force, and indicating any positions as director or statutory auditor held at other joint-stock companies;
• (iv) a declaration from Shareholders other than those who singly or jointly hold a controlling or relative majority interest, certifying the absence of any association - as defined by art. 144-quinquies of the CONSOB Regulation adopted with Resolution 11971 of 14 May 1999 – with such Shareholders; in making such a declaration, Shareholders are invited to take into account the CONSOB recommendations contained in ruling DEM/9017893 of 26 February 2009.

Any lists not in compliance with the above requirements will be rejected.

Deposit of the lists

The lists submitted by Shareholders must be deposited at the registered office, or sent by certified e-mail to atlantia@pecserviziotitoli.it, by 26 March 2018, together with information enabling identification of the persons depositing the lists and the further documentation required by the laws and regulations in force.

Each proposing Shareholder must submit and/or deliver to the registered office, not later then 30 March 2018, a certificate issued by an intermediary in accordance with the laws and regulations in force, providing proof of their ownership of the minimum shareholding required to qualify for the right to submit lists.

If, by 26 March 2018, only one list of candidates for the office of Statutory Auditor or only lists submitted by Shareholders acting in association with each other has been deposited, the Company will immediately make this known and Shareholders with the right to submit lists may, until 29 March 2018, deposit further lists at the registered office or send them by certified e-mail to atlantia@pecserviziotitoli.it. In this case, the minimum shareholding required to qualify for the right to submit lists is reduced by half.

Publication of the lists

The Company will make the lists available for inspection by 30 March 2018 at the registered office, on the Company’s website (http://www.atlantia.it/it/investor-relations/assemblee.html) and on the storage platform called 1Info (www.1Info.it).

Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall be elected in the following manner:

• three Standing Auditors and one Alternate to be elected shall be taken in sequential order from the list receiving the majority of votes cast by the holders of shares carrying voting rights, and in compliance with the legislation in force concerning gender quotas;
• the remaining two Standing Auditors shall be taken from the other lists. For that purpose, the votes cast for those other lists shall be successively divided by one and two. The resultant quotients shall be progressively allocated to the candidates on each list, in the order envisaged for each list.
  The quotients thus allocated to the candidates on the various lists shall then be ranked in decreasing order by the total quotients allocated to them: the two candidates elected shall be those with the highest quotients, provided that the required balance between gender quotas has been complied with.
• if, on completion of the election and the above procedures, legislation concerning the balance between the gender quotas elected has not been complied with, the candidates elected from the various lists shall be ranked in decreasing order, based on the quotients calculated in accordance with the procedure described in letter b). The candidate from the most represented gender with the lowest quotient in the ranking shall thus be replaced by the first of the candidates from the least represented gender to not be elected and belonging to the same list. If there are no other candidates in this list, the above replacement shall be approved by the General Meeting with the majority required by law.
  If replacement of the candidate from the most represented gender with the lowest quotient in the ranking does not, however, enable the minimum quota required by the legislation in force to be reached, the above replacement process shall also be applied to the candidate from the most represented gender with the penultimate quotient, and so on rising from the lowest ranked candidate. In the event that candidates have equal quotients, the General Meeting shall hold a new election and the candidate receiving the majority of votes shall be elected, provided that the legislation in force concerning gender quotas has been complied with. The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall be the first candidate on the minority list that obtains the highest number of votes.
  The remaining Alternate Auditor shall be drawn from the list which receives the highest number of votes among the list submitted and voted for by Shareholder who are not associated with the majority Shareholders, as defined by law.
• Any Statutory Auditors not appointed using voting lists, shall be appointed by General Meeting resolution approved with the majority required by law in compliance with the legislation in force concerning gender quotas.

All holders of voting rights, in relation to which the Company has received from an authorized intermediary a communication certifying their voting rights may, pursuant to art. 127-ter of Legislative Decree 58/98 (the CFA), ask questions on agenda items also before the General Meeting up to three days prior to the Meeting held on single call (i.e 17 April 2018).
