Ad sections 6 and 8 above: The put and call options as well as the option for securities lending (each as referred to under section 7.b.2 above) relate to the same collar transaction under which, on a consolidated basis, Mediaset S.p.A. can acquire a voting rights position of 4.06% in total only once. The acquisition of voting rights by way of a securties lending transaction under such financial instrument therefore results in a corresponding increase in the position of voting rights (attached to shares), but does neither have an effect on the total number of voting rights through the above-mentioned collar transaction, nor the total number of voting rights attached to shares and through Instruments. Ad section 7.b.2. above: As the put and call options as well as the option for securities lending relate to the above-mentioned collar transaction under which Medlaset S.p.A. can acquire the position of 4.06% of the voting rights only once, such instruments were not to be aggregated.
