Regarding the situation of Paolo Di Benedetto that, as a result of today's confirmation as Edison's administrator, will exceed the period of uninterrupted office for nine exercises, the Board of Directors assessed that the disapplication of the requirement of maximum tenure doesn't compromise its independence requirement considering its ethical and professional qualities and its standing; its competence, deep knowledge and experience developed in Edison, as well as its past office also as member of Board Committee and relative autonomy and objectivity of judgment.

These checks and their outcomes were verified by the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The Board of Directors also re-elected the Board Committees, appointing respectively: i) for the Control and Risk Committee: Fabio Gallia (Chairman and Independent Director), Paolo Di Benedetto (Independent Director) and Beatrice Bigois; ii) for the Compensation Committee: Paolo di Benedetto (Chairman and Independent Director), Angela Gamba (Independent Director) and Florence Schreiber; iii) for the Related Parties transactions Committee: Paolo Di Benedetto, and Fabio Gallia and Angela Gamba.

All directors declared that they did not hold Edison shares at the date of appointment.
