PRESS RELEASE Voluntary exclusion of the Company's shares from the Star segment

Meeting today the Board of Directors of EEMS Italia S.p.A. approved a resolution to make an application to Borsa Italiana S.p.A. to voluntarily exclude the Company's shares from the Star segment, with the transfer of these to the MTA segment.
The Company believes that given the current stage of its business reorganisation it is preferable to leave, temporarily, the high requirement segment in which its shares are classed.
The Company however confirms its undertaking to maintain the existing corporate governance structure adopted in line with the quality standards required by the Star segment, reserving for itself the possibility of making a new application to Borsa Italiana S.p.A. for inclusion in the Star segment once it has concluded its current reorganisation stage and the business growth process has picked up again.
The EEMS Group is one of the world's leading operators in assembling, testing and finishing semiconductor memories and - through its subsidiary Solsonica S.p.A. - is the Italian leader in the manufacture of photovoltaic cells, modules and solutions. The Group has its headquarters in Cittaducale (Rieti), Italy and has a significant operational presence in China.
